PITCHER JACK COOMBS
VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED
STAR PITCHER OF ATHLETICS
CARRIED FROM FIELD DURING
GAME WITH WASHINGTON


Connie Mack's star slabbist, Jack"
Coombs, may be lost to the team for
several weeks or even longer as the
result Of tearing ligament in his
groin in the game with Washington,
Saturday.
Just how bad the injury to Coombs
is will not be known definitely until
tomorrow, yet the doctors say that it
is serious. The mishap occurred in
the seventh inning when he was
pitching to Walker. He had two
strikes on the batter, and just after
delivering the third ball was seen to
stagger forward. He braced himself
and Baker and Barry rushed to his
aid. He attempted to walk off the
field, but could not do so, and he
was lifted on the shoulders of several
players.
Doctor Edward Larkin, the Wash
ington clubs physician, was sum-
moned and reported that Coombs was
suffering from q torn ltgament in
his groin. 1t was thought at first
that the old injury which Coombs suf-
fered in the worlds series was again
the trouble, but Coombs denied this,
stating that 1t was above the place
which gave him so much trouble last
season. However, it is not certain
that the old injury has required.

TWO NO-HIT CONTESTS
WE'RE PLAYED IA
YEARS AGO TODAY

One of the most memorable dates in
baseball was April %, 1898, when two
no-hit games were pitched in the Ma
tional league. Jay Hughes of Balti-
cult, BANKED the Bostons, while Theo-
dore Breitenstein, the once great
twirler, turned the same trick on the
Pirates on that great day fourteen
years ago today. The at that time
wore Cincinnati uniform. That was
the second time in their history that
the Buccaneers had been trounced
without getting a safe smash at the
ball. There have been sixty-one no.
hit games played in the major
leagues, little over half in the Ma
tional league, while the others are di-
tion-not the present organization of
that name, but the old major A. A,
the old Players League, and the
American League. ]. Lee Richmond
was, so far as the records show, the
first major league twirler to turn the
no-hit trick. That was in 1880, when
Richmond was on the pitching staff
of the Worcester club, then in the Ma
tionaI league. Twenty-seven Cleve-
land men faced Richmond in that
game and were bowled over, Worcester
winning the game 1 to 0. Richmond
gained the no-hit priority, however,
only by matter of few days, for
less than a week later John M Ward,
fired with envy. at the great feat of
Richmond, did the same thing for
Providence, with Buffalo in the role
Of the victim "Old Cyl Young was
the first pitcher in the American
League to win a no-hit game in nine
innings. That was in 1904, when Den
ton in a Boston Inform, shut out the
Philadelphia Athletics, Addfe Joss, the
famous Cleveland twirler who died a
year ago this month, was the hero of
another great contest in October, 1908,
when, within nine innings, he prevented
a single man Of the Chicago White Sox
from reaching the initial bag.
