BL AME SENTIMENT
FOR LOSS OF CAME
Manager Mack's Aversion To Humiating Coombs Cost
Team Victory At Polo Grounds Yesterday, Say Those
Who Saw Big Pitcher Kept In After Wavering
By SENATOR"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 26.-Sentl-
ment defeated the Athletics in the fifth
game of the worlds series. This may
sound strange. but II Is certainly the
truth, and Manager Mack frankly ad-
mitted 1t after the game.
Jack Coombs was twirling for the
Mackmen, and strained a MUSCLE in his
right leg in the sixth inning. Time
was taken out for few minutes while
Coombs was attended to. Captain Davis
asked Jack II he was in good enough
shape to continue.
Iron John" assured him that he was.
although II was apparent from the
stand that the big fellow was not right.
In the seventh inning he began to
weaken. and the Giants Tailed once.
When the Athletics returned to tho
bench between innings, Manager Mack
sent Eddie Plank down to warm up.
through with the battle, and got away
in excellent style in the eighth inning.
&r" -2" Ninth Fatal.
Then came the fatal ninth. When
Fletcher hit a double after one man
had been retired. Ira Thomas. who was
not in the game, ran out from the
bench and told Coombs that he was
through, and that Plank would be sub
stituted. These were the orders of
Manager Mack. but Coonbs begged to
be allowed to continue. ...
Connie thought It all out in Sec
ond. and decided to take a chance on
Jack. The astute leader OF the Amer
lean League champions would not hu-
initiate Coombs., the only unbeaten
worlds series pitcher, by pulling him
out at this stage when the club owed
II to Coombs to allow him to continue
regardless of the result, particularly as
the Mackies had big lead in the se.
ries.
The game was lost In the tenth aftel
the Giants had tied the score in the
ninth. Eddie Plank was on the mound
and gets credit for the defeat, but the
loss Of this one game does not NEAR
as much as the loss Of Jack Coombs
who will not be able to twirl again In
this series, even II the championship
depends on the final game.
Old Injury.

for several weeks as the result of the

zog, and Meyers drove out long sacri-
fee fly. which enabled Merkls to score.
The Giants tied 1t up in the ninth,
much to the joy OF II victor mad
throng. One gone, Fletcher doubled
and took third on Meyers out. Then
came Cfandall with the long drive Of
the day, which kept Murphy and Old
ring hustling until Fletcher had scored
and the pitcher had reached second.
One run was needed to save the series
tenporari rily, at least, for the 'Siants.
and Devore was the hero, for he came
across with single that sent In Gram
dali. r..
1T was won in the tenth by Doyle.
He doubled off Plank, beat Planks

and came scurrying In on Merk le s long
fly to Murphy near the foul line.

San Antonio, Tex, April 9.-Sunday quiet prevailed at the maneuvers camp today, which means the ca mp was over run with visitors. It was muddy un- derfoot and leaden overh cad, but still the people from the city came out to sec the boys in khaki.
 In the absence of real war news the camp is discussing rumors., The latest is that Yucatani has seeded from. the Mexican republic. This report is made public by "an employe of the United States government one who reports di : rect to an official adviser of the chief executives" That is the way the story is passed from mouth to mouth. The secession is said to have taken plaee two weeks ago!
 Another report that is. more: circnm- stantial is that large shipment of arms probably the largest since the outbreak. in sPueblas last fal, passed through San Antonio Friday night for points along the border

 All the mules and drivers from the left side have been taken out. and all the bodies will be removed from this side before the right side Is reached.
 The estimated number of men in the mine at present is IT.
 All of the bodies taken from the mine are entirely free from burns, and the two white men removed were es- pecially so.
 Parties have been down in the man. way to the old shaft and bring back conflicting reports. One party report tQ tic diI SOOu, WlifC ohOthSA sHie' conditions were dubious. It is thought that they came different route.
 The parties working in the new shaft are making good progress with the brattices. As they went down the slope they found numbers of dead bodies and it is estimated tonight that at least 60 bodies are piled along the main slope ready to be removed to the surface.
 Rescue work is being retarded by the mules in the passage ways. The mules have stiffened and are exceedingly diff ficult to load. The rescuing parties are unable to get into 3. and left entries on account of debris.

 MT. Oakley was accompanied by his brother, Charles Oakley, Dr. C. w. Burns state convict physician, and H. M Will son, associate member of the board.
 Mir Hillhouse and MT. Dickinson are very optimistic in regard to the situa- tion, stating that the worst of the fight is over However no chances will be taken and the battle with the after damp will be cautiously waged.
 Officials of the Pratt company have made every arrangement to ship the todies and wish 1t stated that if any family of dead men wish them sent to any point the company will conform with their wishes.
