The absence Of Jack Coombs from the

the pennant hopes of the champions. but
there is not the slightest doubt that
they have been greatly impaired. Even
SO wonderful q base ball machine as the
astute Mack has built up cannot stand
the weakening which the injury to
Coombs has brought about. 1t may be
figured that even with Coombs out Of the

to win the flag. but the absence Of one
