April 10 and II. Several times this season
Colby John, the "eX-Tron Man" has been
sent in to do a little work in exhibition
games. but he was not assigned for
league duty until Yesterday. 1t is the
general belief among physicians who have
had Coomhs under their care for the last
year and a half that he will never be
able 20 regain his pitching form.
At present Coombs is strong. But the
trouble is that he has some lurking fear
that he may strain his back. which was
affected in his last attack in the fall of
1878. This would naturally prevent his
putting his strength on the ball.
