SENDER GLASS
RACES ARE ON

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Aug. IL
With a heavy sea which favored the
Spanish boats, threshing, the Interna-
tional race of the Sender class yachts.
between the representatives OF Spain
and America for the President Taft
and Governor Draper cups now held
by the Eastern Yacht club, was start
ed today.
The Spanish yachtsmen believed
their boats could do better in chop
by sea because OF their weight.
The course, however, was not in a
condition to seriously interfere with
the speed of the Americans This
was the second series of races be-
tween the yachtsmen OF the two coun-
tries, American boats having visited
Spain In 1907. They were beaten
there for the principal cup. although
they secured few minor trophies, but
lin their own backyard they claim
things will be different. A race is
to be sailed each day starting today
until the cups are won. President
Taft will present the cups to the win
ner aboard the Mayhower.

BY HARRY NELLY.

Il notice they are printing stories
about Jack Coombs and how he didn't
know how to pitch until this year"
remarked Malachi Kittridge. Detroit
scout. Kit caught for years and
years and Is close observer OF base
ball, particularly pitching. That Is
Why his comment on Coombs Is Of
more than extraordinary weight.
"Coombs has started to pitch great
hall because he has mastered the
greatest OF all pitching assets, the
drop-baIl that does not break from
the right-handed batters. don't
mean one OF those out-drops, but a
ball that comes up to the plate
squarely In the center and falls from
one TO two feet without changing Its
lateral direction.
Amos Rusie had that ball and he
threw II with tremendous speed.
Rusie pitched that drop thing and
mixed 1t up with a fast one In close
and the batter who could meet 1t
with any regularity never lived. They
tell me that Ramsey and other old
timers depended on 1t extensively"
Coombs certainly did give hne
exhibition OF pitching on his recent
