Jack" Coombs, for years one Of
the mainstays of the Athletics pitch
ing staff, and today one of the most
dependable men among Brooklyn
twirlers, is the greatest come back
in the history OF baseball.
Among other great achievements
Coombs has record of winning "a.
inning game against the Boston Amer.
leans. He earned the title of Iron
Man" when he pitched the Athletics
To three straight victories against the
Chicago Cubs in the worlds series OF
1910.
Perhaps few men playing baseball
have been seriously injured SO often
as Jack and that he has survived
all of his physical misfortunes and Is
still able to toss winning ball today
makes him baseball marvel.
The first time he was badly injured
was on May 90, 1911. during a game
between the Tigers and Athletics at
Philadelphia. While running toward
the plate to assist in making a putout
he was hit on the head by thrown
ball and was carried unconscious from
the field. A few days later, however,
he returned to his post
His worst injury, and the one which
came near ending his days Of baseball
usefulness, was received at the Polo
Grounds on October rs, 1911, during

TABER
Is AFTER THE
RALF-M|LE MARK

There is every likelihood that Nor
man s. Taber, who recently made a
new worlds record at one mile which
he did in 4 minutes IL 3-5 seconds,
aspires to the ownership Of the half
mile record of 1 minute 90 IL sec
onds, made by Ted" Meredith In the
Olympic games at Stockholm In 1872
Taber is said to have run q trial half
in / minute 81 seconds, short while
before his now famous one-mile Ell
fort recently. which, If true, shows him
to be really the most remarkable all
around runner the world ever has had
Other than this stated remarkable
showing at half mile 1t is further
said that he has shown as good as
49 seconds for 40 yards and that he
can also step the furlong in fine style.
Such ability at the middle distances,
coupled with his known record at one
mile, should warrant him in attempt
ing the downfall of the three-quarter
mile record of 3 minutes 2 As seconds,
made by Tommy" Conneff at Trayers
island, August q, 1895.
This is unquestionably the greatest
record on the books, as II always has
overshadowed by many seconds the
competitive efforts of all who have es-
sayed to run the distance either
against men or against the watch.
Even at indoor running. on tracks
where there has been no air resistance
to be encountered, 3 minutes sec
onds is the best mark that ever has

, the fifth game of the worlds series be-
tween the Giants and Athletics.
Goombs strained tendon in the groin
and had to be assisted from the field.
He was operated upon two weeks
later, and his physicians said that he
would fully recover. During the 1912
season he took part in 40 games, won
81, lost ten and tied one, and struck
out 120 men.
On October of that year, while
playing in the Philadelphia interleague
series at Philadelphia, he was hit on
the head by a wild pitch throw by
Earl Moore, and was i'll for a long
time. At the beginning of the 1913
season he contracted severe case OF
grip, and Mack sent him home. He
later recovered, but q recurrence OF
the trouble in his groin kept him out
of the box for the remainder OF the
season. When Mack decided to recon
struct his team last winter Plank,
Bender and Coombs were among the
first slated to 60. Plank and Bender
jumped to the Feds, but Coombs OBJ
tanned his release from the Athletics
and Joined the Brooklyn club, with
the understanding that if he failed to
make good he would be released.
So far this season Jack" has won
seven games, lost five and struck out
10 men.

GOLF GOSSIP

That old maxim Youth must b
served was never more true than
when applied to golf. Golf and old age
are not incompatible. but when 1t
comes to a test of national cham
pionship the youngster is the one who
captures the title.
Our earliest national champions
we're older men than those we find
nowadays winning stellar honors on
the links, but no youngster then
thought Of playing the game. Run over
the list OF most Of our recent national
champions and you viii find that near
n allfof them were In their teens or
early twenties when they won the
championship.
Louis James. who won In 1902 and
then never appeared again in the golf
ing liiielight. was an Undergraduate
at Princeton, Chandler Eagan was at.
tending Harvard. Travers had just
reached 90, Gardner was one of the
best pule Yaulters at Yale, and Ouimet
had not YET attained the voting age.
Travis On Exception.
Travis VASES when he first won the
American title. and Hilton. the only
foreigner who ever captured 1t, was AZ.
With the exception of these two men
none OF those who have won amateur
championships of this country was past
the 30-year mark. The general public
likes 10 refer to golf as an old mans
game, and one OF the favorite jokes
Of the nougoifers is when they are ask
ed why they do not take up the game
to reply that they will when they have
reached old age.
But while golf can be played by old
er men It is the youngsters who carry
away the honors. Just as they do in
baseball, football, tennis, rowing. track
athletics and every other form of out.
door athletics. You can play golf
when you cant play baseball or run a
100-yard dash, but the youngsters will
play the better game. Travis recent
" gave a. wonderful exhibition of his
ability when he won the metropolitan
championship from field of some of
the best younger players In the coun-
try, but there never was any one just
like him and perhaps never will be
again.
Ten years ago It was next to impos-
sible to get the boys and the younger
men interested in golf. With the cap
turing Of the national championship
by Jerome Travers IN 1907 the young
er men gradually came to take an in
terest In the game. so youthful golfers
in our numerous country clubs began
to figure not more than decade ago

HUMAN CURIOSITY.
An Evil and Bore at Times, but, on
the Whole, a Grand Quality.

Humanity has never been able to sat
isfy itself rs to whether curiosity be Il
virtue or vice When announcement It
is labeled as :: vice: when it leads to
discovery or adds to knowledge it IS
applauded as Il virtue OF the highest
order Certainly it is an instinct deeply
inGraineu III human nature. On it the
whole or the progressive steps Of child
hoods career are based. The first intel
ligcnt expression Of the infant IS won
der: this quickly develops into active
curiosity, until life becomes an cntnrall-
ing and GREATNESS voyage of discovery.
Its possession is the great distinction
between youth and the purlicuS OF age
Youth is passed when the sensation of
adventure is ended, when, instead of
boundleSS expectation and of curiosity
that pcnctratcS into all the corners Of
existence, Il man is content to take
things as they are, when cagcrncss
gives way to complaccncy and Qucs-
tiOniny to the cyniciSm Of experience
Human curiosity may be stillcd, but
mercifully il never can be killed. In It's
best form it raises man above the level
OF the rest Of creation; it becomes the
desire to know, TO penetrate to the root
Of things, to ascend to the stars and
wrcSt from them their secrets. to solve
the problems Of the past. the present
and the future. At its worst it NAV be
low and vulgar. unworthy prying into
matters which concern us not The de-
sire to apprchcnd evil as well rs good,
curiosity that is morbid ana ,mwhulc-
some; but. taking it all in all. it is an
excellent Stimulant to progress. Lon

AN ARAB LEGEND.
Story of the CovetouS Man Who Went
a Step Too Far.

Step Too Far.
The Arabs tell Il story to show how
Il mean mans philosophy ovrrshoots
itself. Under the reign Of the first ca
liph there WAS Il merchant of BAgdad
equally rich and avaricious.
One day he bHrIaineu with Il porter
to carry home for him basket of Dor
cclain vases for 10 paras AS they
went along he said to the man: "My
friend, you are young, and | am old
You can still earn plenty. Strike il
para from your hire" "Wilinyly," re-
piled the porter This request was re-
pcatcd again and again. until, when
they reached the house, the porter had
only single para to receive.
AS they went upstairs the merchant
said, IF You will resign the last para
l will give You three pieces Of ndvicc.''
'Bc it So, said the porter. "WcU.
thcn.' said the merchant. IF any ono
tells YOU it is better to be fasting than
fcasting do not believe him. II any
one tells you it is better to be poor
than rich do not believe him. If any
one tells You it is better to walk than
ride in your carriage do not believe
him."
My dear sir, replied the HStoniShed
porter, Il knew these things before
But if YOU will listen to me | will give
YOU such advice us you never heard be
FORE The merchant turned around
and the porter, throwing the basket
down the staircase, said. IF any one
tells you that one Of your vases is I'M
broken do not believe him."
