Foreign Clubs Bid as High as
$4,000 for Single Player in
Football Game.

The big prices paid for star ball play
srs In this country. often bordering or
the sensational. cause great interest
among some Of the big English soccer
clubs who are fortunate enough to b
able to invest part Of their large profits
In securing crack men.
Only a few years ago 5000 was con.
sidered a large figure to pay for any
man, however well he could play foot
ball. but this amount has gradually
mounted Up until the $4,000 mark has
been reached. This record price wa:
put on the heads Of Simpson, Of Falkirk
and Dawson, Of Heart OF Midlothian
both Scottish League clubs. but the
large figure did not prevent Blackburn
Rovers securing both players. and also
Shea, Of West Ham United. for SO 600
thus obtaining three players for the
enormous sum Of $4,000.
That the investment turned out profit
ably was proved by the club finishing
up last season as champions Of the first
division of the English Association
Football League and earning a splendid
profit on the seasons working of
go. 900.
Fifteen thousand dollars was offered
by Newcastle United to Swindon Town
for Fleming, the English international
forward. with a scoring ability IN
equaled by any other player In Great
Britain. but this fine player remained
loyal to his club and refused to be
tempted By a new rule brought Into
force last season the player transferred

ton In the shape of 20 per cent of the
amount paid.

were able to make a better showing
In their balance sheet after selling
their crack forward. Barnes, who is
considered one of the finest forwards
In the country. to Manchester City for
the big price OF IL. 500. a similar amount
also being received by Aston villa for
the services of Buckley, transferred to
Woolwich Arsenal. Other interesting
transfers were Utley. of Barnsley, to
Sheffield United for $4,000 and Mar

The famous London club. Chelsea.
with enormous wealth at its command,
has collected from English and Scot
fish clubs an "all-star" eleven for the
coming season. Each man is an inter-
national. six having represented Eng
land and i've Scotland. While not dis
closing the individual amounts paid for
these men. the Chleesa officials recent
~ announced that the tremendous sum
of $s0.775 has been paid for the players
who will represent them when the sea-
son opens on September /. and Lon
doners will surely not be slow to ap-
preciate the fine collection Of talent
that has been provided for them.
Tho big league clubs not only secure
the best players cheaper than 1t costs
to buy star ball player. but are able
to run their team at much less expense
with the maximum salary being only
q 900 a year for the crack men. The
enormous crowds who attended the
home games last Season OF the big
gest clubs. such as Blackburn Rovers,
Aston Villa Tottenham Hotspur, Chel-
sea, and Newcastle United, averaged
IS 600 to 10000 people. which makes It
easy to understand how such large
profits arc made.

British Tennis Stars

BOSTON. Aug. 1o.-Three members of
the English Davic Cup tennis team,
which lost to Australasia at Longwood

The party consisted Of J. c. Parke, A.

The fourth member Of the team, Lieu

IRON MAN" COOMBS
TO P|TCH IN YEAR
Physicians Say Athletics Twill
er Is Rapidly Reaching Com
pIete Recovery.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 1o-Jack Coombs
will again pitch for the Athletics.
So the doctors say.
He has visited the best specialists in
the East They have assured him that
by next spring he will be able to return
to the game and take his regular turn
IN the box
Il lack the weight now" says the
former great iron man from the north
woods of Maine.
My fast ball is missing" continued
Jack, but my arm is getting better
right along and my curve is working
nicely"
In Syracuse the other day he pitched
in an exhibition game and had SYRIA
cuse helpless. 1t was his first real at
tempt to twirl since illness brought him
down.
No ordinary man could ever have sur
vived the siege that Coombs went
through. His recovery is tribute to
clean living. An iron" constitution and
perfect habits built up under Coombs
skin physical Notifications which sew
eral of the fiercest assaults known to
medical science could not shatter COM
pletely. He came out OF the sklrnlish
in which he faced death time and again,
considerably battered. but with enough
of the foundation left to build anew.
I'll never be as good as l was:
signs COMBS I'll be glad, though,
~ 1 can have a few more years, say
three, then will be ready to quit.
IT had hopes of having another sea-
son like 1911, but have given that up.
I'll never be that good again"
Coombs is feeling well. his appetite
and sleep are sound and regular, and
his weight is increasing. His complex
ion has a healthy glow, and his eyes are
clear as crystals.
Coombs, even at his best, was not an
ordinary iron man. His ability and
desire for an unusual amount Of work
overshadowed his greatest asset-a
keen brain Coombs is ono OF the
brainiest pitchers Of all time. He knows
as much about pitching as any twirler
in either major league. A man with
his knowledge can afford to lose quite
an amount of speed and still be a win
ming hurler.
Only a few days ago he heard the
verdict that he would be in condition
to pitch again by next year. The doc
tors told him he had better hold off
this season, but that when next spring
came he could go South with plans of
chucking I'm his regular turn.
They never miss you when you're
gone" cannot be applied to COMBS
case. Nothing would be more welcome
TO the Athletics in particular and base
ball in general than his return Connie
Mack never had a man more missed
than Coombs. He has ever been an in
valuable help TO the Athletics and a
credit to the game"

The Answer.

Cubs and Cardinals. in place Of GO
ing forward and continuing their mid
summer dash, have been slipping swift
ly..
IL there is to be a keen National
League race after the middle of Aug
ust, the answer must come from the
Braves. And the bulk of the answer
will be returned in about a week, when
said Braves dive headlong into the
Giants This series will bring our old
pal, Doc Crucial, back again; for II
the Braves can upset the Giants as
they have in the rest OF the league at
this next meeting II will be at least an
even bet that Boston moves out against
the Mackmen in October.
And the answer here depends upon
how much longer Rudolph. James and
Tyler can hold their amazing pace.
They have furnished the finest pitching
over G. long, trying stretch that we have
ever seen in any league. For 4 month
they have allowed fewer earned runs
than any pitching staff In baseball his
tory over the same distance. But, as
amazing as 1t has been so far. IL will
be even more amazing If they can hold
this wonderful pace much longer.
