pREYFuss TELLS WHY NATIONAL LEAGUE TEAMS SLUMPED
 ST

TyHAT Federal league influence had much to do with the pennant race last season there is not the slightest doubt. Players who were made offers by the outlaws naturally lost inter est in their work, with the result that they did not play up to their standard.
 The failure of the Pittsburgh Pirates to make a respectable showing. is di- rectly attributed to the Feds. Dreyfuss explains his teams slump thus:
 'It wasn't the Giants which started us on the bumpers. I told Fred Clarke several days before our first series with McGraw that we would never stop dropping until we reached the cellar. The Feds never let us alone a minute. Our players talked, played and ate Feds"
 From Barney's logic it Is surnised the reason for the Braves victory is that the team got such a. rotten start in the race that the Feds did not both CT them. and there was no use in doing this after the team got going and real ized that it had a chance to win the pennant-

Pitcher COOnnbs' Work Surprise of
 The Ball Year

With Squire Ebbets' Brooklyn Trolley Dodg- CTS, ably managed by Wilbert Robin son. Coombs is once more battling his way over the rough roads that lead to fame and glory.
 Released outright by the Athletics and generally regarded being one of basebal1ss "has beens," the iron man. of other days has flashed brand of twfrling in the National league this season that bids fair to put him at or near the top of the circuits winning hurlers. Robinson has sent him to the mound several times this season, and to date the former Athletic has turned in more victories than defeats. His victories have been hard fought bat ties, too, his teammates making only two and three runs behind him.
 Is Remarkable Comeback.
 Coombs' return to the top of the heap is one of the most remarkable ever re- corded in the annals of baseball. The big twirler severely wrenched the muscles of his back in a worlds series battle while with the Athletics. At that time it was thought he was through for all time athlete. But Coonbs was determined to stick in the game. He employed specialists to work on him and a rness''-something on order of a steel jacket-Was rigged up. Wearing this, he was able to work on the mound, though under great difh- culty.
 The injury made itself manifest in his work. He twirled lots of good games, but he couldn't pitch with the effectiveness that had once marked his efforts Connie Mack was 1oath to ] let him go, and not until last fall, when he cleaned house. for fair, did 1 the Athletic manager part with him.

WAGNER NEVER HAD TROUBLE
 WITH IIMPS /

A SIDE from his wonderful ability as
 a player, there is much to admire about Hans Wagner. During his en- tire career Wagner has never had a run in with an umpire. He has never criticised another player. and, in fact, he has made very few comments about anything, preferring to attend to his own business on all occasions.
 Wagner has been a credit to the game, and that is why his popularity has never been on the wane. He has been a. competent and loyal athlete. and the day that he retires will be regret ted by all true lovers of the sport. That is a lot more than can be said of some of the other stars who have been developed in baseball

 It has never been necessary to pass such rules for most of the pitchers. but there always have been some unscrup- ulous ones who want or need such an advantage.

A MoNG those who Joined in a z lengthy tribute to Jerry Travers after his Baltusrol finish was Francis Ouimet, as fine a sportsman as he is a golfer.
 T have always said.'' remarked oui- met, as he followed Jerry the last few holes. that there was no earthly req son in the world why Travers shouldn't be just as good a medal player as he was a match player. The trouble is that before Jerry had never given much thought to medal play, being content to qualify and save his enerz gies for match play ahead But he has every qualification for a medal round wonder, as a medal round is nothing but match play against par. I think Jerry worked out his system exactly this way, for he fought par every hole just as if the old boy had been a live opponent who was playing with dead ly accuracy.

 Matty has been under the care of a. nerve specialist for some time and has been informed that it may be weeks before he will be in condition to pitch.

 Wallace should not be a competent umpire after he gets accustomed to the work. Wallace always was considered a smart ball player and one thoroughly familiar with the rules. He will have the respect of the players and man agers also and ought to have smooth sailing in his new field of operation.
