Manager Jennings Of the Tigers
holds the opinion that Jack Coombs
will be of little use To the Athletics
in the remaining games of the cham
pionship season or in the worlds ser
les.
"Coombs may think himself all
right" said Hughie, Wednesday, but
lie will find whom he attempts to work
that his strength has not fully re-
turned. A man who has been as i'll
as Jack cannot expect to get perfectly
well in a month or two. In fact ! be-
lieve that Coombs will be lucky If he
is perfectly right within IA year. Eddie
Foster Of Washington had the same
trouble and he is not altogether re-
covered even now.

Grifflth's disposition would not per-
nit that he count the Nationals out
Of the running. the tenant of his head
would not allow him to place the Attn

baseball sense leads him to believe
that jennings will have a dangerous
aggregation of players next season.

less aggregation of players. But Jen-

is also a fine young pitcher, although
he seems To have had an off year.
