Coombs Is III;
Sent Home by
Mack to Rest
Athletics Great Hurler Has Attack of
Gripp. and Comics Pitching
Staff Is Weakened.

Pitcher Jack Coombs, of the Athletics
known to the baseball fraternity as
The Iron Man. and who was counted
upon as one of the mainstays in the box
during the coming season, was stricken
with a severe attack of the grip yes
terday and Manager Mack sent him
home to Philadelphia on a late train yes
terday afternoon. 1t is thought that
Coombs will not be able to don a uni
form for two weeks.
According to close friends of the
pitcher, Coombs developed a severe cold
i'm Boston last Saturday and the climax
was reached yesterday morning, when a
high fever appeared.
With Coombs out of it right at the
start, the Mackmen are severely handi-
capped, for the youngsters, with the ex-
ception of Brown and Houck, are I'M
tried while Plank and Bender, both
veterans, cannot be expected to do all
the work.
According to Connie Mack, a team must
have dependable pitchers in order to win
pennant, so the loss of Jack Coombs
handicaps the Athletics at the start.

Ed Dent. the good looking young pitch

turn in the box any time the Old Fox

down in Charlottesville, said Dent last
night, more trouble than anybody

claims that Brooklyn did not give him
a fair trial While with Newark of the
International League. Dent was winner,
and even with bum wing down in
Charlottesville he frequently showed
flashes of big league caliber.
1t is not believed that Griff will take
chances with Dent until the weather

Some Facts of the Civil
War-.1801.1865

More than two thousand reei-
ments who participated in the war
are holding anniversaries and re-
unions for the reason that the
years OF I9eI-12-I3-14 and some of
1915, bring each day to the surviv
ors who are living, a reminder of
OF an event of some battle skir-
mish or the severe hardship of
which they were Individually en-
gagged So years ago. And as the
Siftings will very kindly give US
some space in its columns we will
present some facts for time which
we hope and are deserving of be-
ing some interest in reminding the
people, more especially our young
er people, of the many events oc-
curing in the great struggle, un-
equalled and unparalleled in the
history of any nation IN the world.
l. - ouf purpose to be impair
tial, giving credit due to the Con-
terate also. The time has far
past tor any man or woman to
cherish hatred in their hearts to
the Union or Confederate veter-
an. The purpose of the Civil war
was that this country's govern
ment and flag should be one and
not two, which would have been
disastrous to each and every in.
dividual IN our country. Mexico
todayis a fair example of what
would have been the result.
