CO0MBS GOING TO SHORE.
Iron Man After Long Rest Expects
to Pitch Before Season Ends.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-Jack
Coombs. recovered to such an extent
that he is going to Atlantic City today for
a long rest before going to his home at
West kennebunk, Me-. fully expects to
be able to pitch again for the house
of Mack before the curtain falls on the
1913 canter.
Coombs is yet far from being a we'll
man, according to Manager Mack. who
Saturday night paid his pitcher long
visit. but Mack stated that John has
shown such an Improvement in the last
two weeks that he fully expects to be
able to share the box duties with the
rest of the twirlers before it comes
worlds series time.
Coombs plans for an indefinite stay
at the shore and after that he is going
home to Maine to stay until he feels
capable of pitching again.
While the Macks are now out ahead
of Cleveland by over three games they
could surely use the iron man. With
the exception of Bender and Plank, the
rest of the staff is not a bowling sue
cess, and that they are getting by with
victories is due to the wonderful hit
ting. fielding and base running of the
team.

If Loomis of NJ a. c. can hold the

his first trial he will be of much value
to the American Security team this
season. He let the Waverly club down
without q hit. and it may be that 1t
will be necessary for him to keep up
the pace to enable the Bankers to hold
their own. After another week he will
be about the only pitcher the Trust
Company will have left. as Fienle will
leave town for the summer.
Just where the Bankers will get a
pitcher to take Fienles place is ques-
tionable. Cornell has practically every
other twirler signed up. and there Is
hardly hurler in the city of the first

N Happenings

The greatest fault that umpires display
is that they anticipate plays and make
decisions before the plays are completed.
In yesterdays game OLaughlin undoubt-
eddy called Laporte out at first before the
ball which Bush threw had reached Cal
ners mitt. The hall was still in the air
when O'Laughlin waved LapOrte out. Too
often does it happen that a player will
be called out in going into a bag and then
the decision is reversed because the field
or has dropped the ball. This indicates
beyond question that the decision was
made too soon. for if there was reason
for calling the base runner out the ball
must have been held long enough to
make such decision possible. and If
later dropped should not affect the deci-
sion.
What a remarkable difference it makes
in player when he displays interest in
his work and takes the proper care of
himself is plainly demonstrated III the
Improvement Oldring and Bender are
showing this season over last. 1t is not
a secret that neither of these players
buckled down to real work last season.

Last season Joe Wood managed to tie
Walter Johnson's consecutive victory
mark by scoring sixteen straight. He fell
down when he tried to beat it. This
spring Fred Falkenberg seemed destined
to pass Johnson's record of ten straight.
but like Wood he failed in the game
against Boston yesterday, and the chances
are that the record will not he beaten
this season. Falkenberg and johnson
have been the only pitchers in the Amer
lean League this season to show consist
ent and superior form. Joe Wood has not
been going good, while none of the other
high grade twirlers has shown as good
form as last season. So that the chances
are not one Of them will be able TO win
ten straight in a row during the re-
mainder of the season, unless johnson
should repeat and duplicate his own rec
ord, which is not at all unlikely
