CAN JACK COOMBS
come BACK p
Bv Hal sheridan

written for the United Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 80 Can he do itf
Can Jack Coombs, famed as an "iron
man. wherever baseball is known, sue
ceed where Jim Jeffries and innumer-
able other sporting celebrities have
failed? Can he come back2
That is the question which sport
critics and lovers are pondering over.
Can the man who once moved down
batsmen in world 9 series battles the
same as in exhibition games, put over
the same brand Of stuff, the same wierd
assortment of fickering white flashes,
that once earned him the sobriquet of
Firon man'7
Wilbert Robertson and Charley Eb-
bets would like to know. They have
taken the chance and signed the veter-
an for 1915, and before many months
have rolled by they will be able to an
swer all interrogators as to whether
Jack Coombs can come back.
From 1906 until 1912 Coombs name
was perhaps the most feared of any
pitcher. Jumping into the big league
from a scintillating path of victories
at Colby college Coombs startled the
world after he had been in the league
but a few weeks by pitching and win
ming twenty-four inning game
against the Boston Red Sox The score
was A to 1. Tt is the longest ma jor
league game on record.
Coombs' real fame came in 1910,
when he shattered several records. His
record at the close of that season
showed him with thirty-one victories
and but nine defeats. Not satisfied
with that, he broke another American
league record by shutting out his op-
ponents thirteen times and wound up
the season in blaze of glory by pitch
ing ffty-three consecutive scoreless in
nings.
Coombs continued his path of glory
until the 1911 worlds series, when he
was severely injured. In 1912 he re-
covered enough to win 81 out of 81
games, but since that time has pitched
but two full games, winning one and
losing one.
