Vicious recrudescence of Ed Plank,
a 42-year-old southpaw, who was
labeled at the end of his career three
seasons ago. In the last month
Plank has been the most effective
southpaw in either major league.
Chief Bender is pitching a good
game frequently for the Phils and
his guile is admittedly partly respon-
sibIe for the manner in which De-
maree and Mayer have rounded to
form recently. The Redskin knows
a lot of the art of curving baseball
and is impaTting his knowledge to his
new mates.
But Jack Coombs, who paused the
Cubs with lone single yesterday,
refusing to allow one of the locals to
reach second base, is the most sensa-
tional comeback of this great pitch
ing trio that made worlds champion
ships for the Macks with such ma
chine-like frequency.
Coombs is doing more work than
either Plank or Bender. Through
the seasons wash he has not been
so effective as Plank, but more mig
gardly with runs than Bender.
Coombs strained himself in a world
series game. For a solid year the
big pitcher lay strapped to a hospital
bed, heavy weights attached to his
feet in an effort to pull his body back
to it's normal position. His life was
almost despaired of and there was
not the slightest hope he would ever
pitch another game of ball.
But the indomitabIe will that
pulled Jack through many tight
situation on the ball field helped him
in the hospital and he got well. Mack
figured he~was through. Then Viii
bert Robinson stepped in and signed
Coombs. Jack pitched but two or
three games first season after his ILL
ness, but last year he was at some
thing approaching his Athletic form.
This season he has been even better.
Aside from his work in the box,

athletic history, Coombs owes his
present position as much to courage
as to his physique.
Brooklyn finishes its years work
on the North Side Wednesday. The
Braves and PhiIlies follow. There is
no breathing space ahead for the
North Siders and the team must do
better than for some time past in or
der to stick at the head of the second
division. Tinker will be better forti-
fed shortly with the return of Will
liams and Kelly to the outfeId. Zim
is back at third. His stay there de-
ponds on how he@plays.
Six games for the White Sox this
week against the Yankees and
Washington. During the same period
the Red Sox will be. engaged with
Cleveland and Detroit. That makes
it about an even break for the con-
tenders, so far as the class of the OPP
position is concerned. Rowland is
handicapped by the absence of Jack
Ness, who may be out for the entire
eastern trip.
Fournier has not hit since being
sent back to first base and his field
ing has been far from good. But we
are: banking on Kid Gleason and the
ginger and vim he will inject into the
athletes to make up this deficiency.
The Sox pitching is as good as at

in excellent position to edge to the

LAST NUMBER OF
LECTURE COURSE
Clarence w. Wassam to Deliver Lee
ture at Presbyterian Church
Thursday Evening.

The last number of the lecture
course at the Presbyterian church
will be a lecture delivered by Clar.
ence w. Wassam, Phi. D., on the sub
ject of "The Strong Young Man. -
This lecture will be given Thursday
evening of this week at the church,
and the admission will be twenty-five
and fifty cents. Mr.. Wassam is well
known in this city having appeared
here on Chautauqua programs and
needs no introduction to a Willmar
audience. The best proof of his sue
cess as lecturer is attested to by
the large number of dates he is call
ed upon to fill.
The following notice is in regard to
the particular subject he is to speak
on at this city:
"A fine lecture" is the verdict of
those who attended the lecture given
by Prof. c. w. Wassam last Saturday
evening, and all were amply repaid.
Prof. Wassam's subject, "A Strong
Young Man." is an intensely inter
esting one, and the lecturer did it full
justice. It is a liberal education to
listen to him even for one evening.
Prof. Wassam mingles- daily with
young men and women and is well
fitted to discuss the subject. If it is
ever our good fortune to have him
in Scion again the house will, with.
out doubt, be crowded to its full cap
acity.-The Scion (1owa) Economy.

This year, however, nothing has been

Clerk of Court Ramsett informs US
this will be attended to in the near
future. AS yet no reports have been
made from the secretary of the State
