SPORTING REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Can he do
it? Can Jack Coombs, famed as an
iron man" wherever baseball is
known, succeed where Jim Jeffries
and innumerable other sporting cele-
brities have failed? Can he come
back?
That is the question which sport
critics and lovers are pondering over
Can the man who once moved down
batsmen in worlds series battles the
the same brand of stuff, the same
weird assortment of flickering white
flashes, that once earned him the sob
riquet of iron man"
Wilbert Robertson and Charley Eb-
bets would like to know. They have
taken the chance and signed the vet
eran for 1915, and before many
months have rolled by they will be
able to answer 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 scintillating path of victories
at Colby college, Coombs startled the
baseball world after he had been in
the league but few weeks by pitch
ing and winning a twenty-four inning
game against he Boston Red Sox The
score was 4 to 1. 1t is the longest
major league game on record.
Coombs' real fame came in 1910
when he shattered several records.
His record at the close of that sea-
son showed him with thirty-one vic
tories and but nine defeats. Not sat
isfed with that, he broke another
American league record by shutting
out his opponents thirteen times and
wound up the season in a blaze Of
glory by pitching fifty-three consecu-
tive scoreless innings.
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 pitch
ed but two full games, winning one
and losing one.

They are especially expression when

by John A. Rush, district attorney

whenever a witness is on the

feet. They are an index Of the mind
and come pretty eiase to telling
whether a person is telling false
hood. The first evidence of nervous
ness appears in the feet. A witness
who is lying will shift his feet and
become jerky and uneasy. Such evil
dences are invariably an indication
that the witness either is not sure Of
his testimony or is not telling the

ico, spending year in seminary
there. Then he came to Colorado,
and was ordained in the Sacred Heart
college, Denver, by Bishop Matz in
1898.
While he was still in college, he
won high honors in the intermediate
examinations conducted by the Brit
ish government, and was awarded sew
eral medals in his ecclesiastical
course.
After ordination, he acted as as
sistant in Leadville and Denver, and
was rector of the cathedral here.
While rector of the cathedral, he pur-
chased the stately site at the corner
of Colfax and logan, where the mag
nificent church now stands, and after
paying off all the old debts from the
sale of the Stout street property, left
considerable property, including the
school building, as the nucleus for the
present holdings of the Cathedral par
ish. He had the plans for the new
cathedral drawn by Leon Coquard, a
Detroit architect.
He was in Denver eight years when
he was located here last, and it is
now eleven years since he left the
city. Eight years of that time has
been spent in Durango, where he has
had about $4,000 spent in improve
ments on the church property. The
Durango church and grounds, COM
prising an entire block, with roses,
shrubs and ornamental trees, are one
of the most pleasing sights in the
city.
