Adde'S arm will never be good again.
II have often thought that a pitcher
who twists ball as Joss does would
be out OF the game permanently IL his
arm ever went out" said Jones.
Twisting the ball made a constant
strain on Joss arm. and the break
down this year was not due to sud
den injury. but was the result OF long
strain. Had his elbow been injured
by sudden turn there would be hope
for his recovery. but as IL Is he Is
through. have seen other pitchers
whose delivery Is something the same
as Joss go the same way, although
none strained his arm as Joss has.
The game will lose one OF its great

thing no other pitcher ever had In his
twisting curves. When he was going
right he was without a peer. That he
did not go right all the time was due
to the stun he put on every ball"

GOLF NEARLY RUINED
CAREER OF COOMBS
ATHLETICS PITCHER SPENT so MUCH TIME WITH
THE SCOTTISH GAME THAT HE NEGLECTED
BASEBALL DUTIES.

Golf almost played havoc with Jack
Coombs' success as pitcher this sea-
son, and the man who held the Cubs
down Tuesday almost ruined his ca
reer with the Scottish game. His res
cuer was the veteran president of the
Philadelphia club. Uncle Ben Shibe.

the ancient and honorable" game of
golf while a student at Colby college.
but for his first few years with the
Athletics did not indulge In the game.
While training at Mobile during the
spring OF 1909, Coombs was invited to
try his hand, along with several other
players at the Mobile Country clubs
links.
Coombs could not resist the tempta-
ton, and spent all the time he could
get away from practice on the course,
driving the little white gutta percha
ball tremendous distances. Coombs
became quite an expert player after
he had played long enough TO perfect
his work on the greens. His driving
was phenomenal. his keen eye. great
height and strength and his batting
ability made his drives long and true.
Some OF the best professional golfers
who saw Coombs play predicted a
bright future for him.
All the summer OF 1909, whenever
he could spare the time he played
golf. Every Sunday he was on the
links OF the various country clubs.
When the Athletics went south last
spring they spent 10 days at Hot
Springs. Va. where the great game Is
golf Coombs soon had the entire
squad out playing and they almost for
got that baseball was their mission In
the south.
The fad became even greater this
summer and for the first few months
of the season Coombs INDUCED It..
Then Comics pitching staff began TO
break down and Coombs and Morgan
alone remained to bear the brunt Of
the work. The game OF golf demanded
the expenditure Of considerable energy
when n whole day was devoted TO the
sport. as II meant five 10 seven miles
and sometimes 10 miles OF walking
over hill and dale. Z usually required
day or two TO get the legs and body

BY RALPH SICKLE.

The goal from the field Is the thing
in football this year. When teams
are In the same class, touchdowns due
to straight football are almost impos-
sibilities. The goal from placement
and the drop kick has become the
most important scoring play in the
game.
Time was when the eleven worked
to push the ball across their oppo-
nents' goal line. II is now the fashion
to get within striking distance by any
methods possible and then send the
star booter of the team back for a
try at the cross bars.
The goal from the field will de-
eide championships this year.
There isn't a doubt Of II, for bar
RING q lucky accident or q clev-
eriy executed trick play, II 10 not
likely that any touchdowns will
be scored when we'll matched
rivals are playing. The day when
a team could batter It's way down
the field by line pounding and end
runs has gone. Now II Is follow
the ball, recover the fumbles and
try for a field goal.
To draw a few illustrations from
life. Reserve was eliminated Satur-
day from the Ohio championship race
by two goals from the field. State
could not come close to the Red and
