JACK cooMes NOT A NOVICE.

1t is amusing to read some Of the
speculative junk about Pitcher Jack
Coombs of the Philadelphia Athletics.
What is the use OF talking about him
as if he were a novice? Before the
season Of 1910 he did good work. II
you will just take the trouble to recall
that Coombs beat Boston in a twenty
two or twenty three inning game not

ENGLISH COACHING REVIVAL.
Following Lead Of Vanderbilt, Wealthy
Will Drive.

Following Lead Of Vanderbilt, Wealthy
Will Drive.
Thanks largely to the initiative and
enthusiasm Of Alfred G. Vanderbilt,
there is a marked revival Of the fine
old pastime Of coaching in London:
After three seasons experience Of the
Brighton road and its many attrac-
tons the noted American whip has de-
cided to continue running the Venture
coach down from London to Brighton
next season.
Preparations are already well ad-
vanced for putting several fresh coach
on May day next year. for members of
the Four-in-hand club and Coaching
club are determined to let the world
see what can be done with good horses.
Lord Beaconsfield has made arrange
ments to bring back to the scene Of its
famous trips Of 1888 the Old Times.
and it is hoped this famous coach will
repeat its past exploits. when the late
James Selby drove 1t to Brighton and
back, a distance Of 10S miles, in hours
so minutes. The Hon. P. s. Wyndham
is qualified to take the place Of his
brother on the box when he wants the
exhilaration Of a>spin. This last sum-
mer the Old Times ran daily for a cou-
pie Of months between Brighton and
Arundel
Among other artistocrats interested
in the revival Of coaching Lord Charles
Beresford and Lord Penrhyn will also
be occasionally seen as whips next sea-
son. Don Miguel Martinez de HOE,
who was second to w. H. Moore In the
first coaching Marathon Of 1909. Is send
ing moro Of his Argentine bred hack
neys to England, and he will once more
be seen on the road. The Chester and
Shrewsbury coach is also likely to be
put on again. Other revivals Of q like
nature are under consideration. and
American visitors to Britain next sum-
mer are likely to have q wide choice of
trips in coaches handled by aristocrat-
ic whips.

INV the Canadians belong two
Of the most virile sports OF
modern timeS-lacrosse and
u hockey. Uncle Sam has his
baseball. England its cricket and
Scotland its golf, but to the Canadians
must be accorded maternal interest in
the first mentioned sports. Uncle Sam
does not believe for one minute that
his national pastime is an improved
form of FOUNDERS played by Britons
years ago, nor do the people Of the
Dominion countenance the idea that
fee hockey is merely an advanced form
of shiny.
Lacrosse by reason Of its conflict
with baseball does not appear destined
to take hold in the United States, and
as a matter Of fact the base hit and
the bunt are making greater inroads
every year into the Dominion. Ice
hockey. on the other hand, is making
steady advancement in this country.
The absence Of a really spectacular
game to fill in between the close and
the opening Of the baseball season has
been a long felt want, and the estab-
liShment Of artificial ice rinks in New
York, Boston. Cleveland, Pittsburg, ST.
Paul and Chicago has paved the way
for the introduction of ice hockey and
its gradual adoption as one Of the most
popular of the winter sports.
Weather conditions in this country
have initiated against ice hockey out
doors, and except in the northern por-
tionS Of the states the game has been
more or less intermittent. The great
naraSGifv for the Stpadv growth nf
hockey has been artificial Kinks. and
since the tide appears to have set in
prospects are bright that in a few
years all Of the big cities will pos
sess one or more artificial Kinks.
So magnetic is the sport in Canada
that the leading professionals are paid
more in proportion for their services
than the the diamond heroes on this
side Of the water. The majority of
them are under contract. and compe-

chance Of reaching first on a high fly.
The poker player believes that the
game would be improved II more Of

For instance. II the umpire called a
man out on a close decision the run

wrong to force a runner off third base.
He should be allowed to come in when
he wishes.
The croquet player wishes hoops
used instead Of cushions. the entomol-
ogist desires to equip the fielders with
butterfly nets. and the cricket player
thinks the game should consist Of sew
enty-two full innings. with an inter-
mission after every twelfth inning to
allow tea and mullins to be served.
Other changes that have been sug-
gested are that the runner be allowed
to steal first: that he shall be entitled
to four strikes: that he may take his
base on three balls; that the foul
strike rule be abolished: that the
pitchers box be moved back: that a
man be allowed to bat for the pitcher.

200 SAVED FROM
SINKING STEAMER
Wireless Figures in Rescue From
Steamer Merida, Cut in Two in
Collision.

NEW YORK, May 12.-More than
200 persons were saved from death
at sea of the Virginia Capes early
today when the United Fruit com
pany's steamer Admiral Farragut
rammed and sent 10 the bottom the
Ward Liner Merida, bound 10 this
port, with 1877 passengers and a tull
cargo of mail and merchandise.
Reused from their comfortable
berths by the shock OF the collision,
the passengers shivered In their night
clothing until lifeboats and RATS from
the Merida and Admiral Farragut
could be put into commission, after
which they were transferred to the
little Farragut. The craft, in immi-
nent danger of sinking, too, stood by
until the Merida went TO the bottom,
some five hours after the smash. BY
that time, the big United States bat

Liner Hamilton. summoned by the

ed the scene and were standing by.
The passengers were again transfer
red, this time TO the Hamilton.
Boats from the Farragut, the Merida,

made, after which the Hamilton
headed for Norfolk.
The Merida was headed directly
north. when out OF the fog, doomed
the Farragut, dead ahead. Almost
before the first yell OF the lookout on
the steel craft was heard, the Farra-
gut had ploughed into the vitals OF
the larger ship.
Passengers tumbled out of the
staterooms and up the stairs, grasp

fed As they stood on the wet deck
the officers of the Merida told them
to keep quiet, that all would be
saved. Incipient panic was quelled by
