Colby Jack Coombs, veteran pitcher
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, has been the
most successful worlds series pitcher
Coombs went through three worlds
series without meeting a defeat. In two
others he also shared in the spells but

games and lost none. However, he has

scoring by the Athletics made Jacks
work rather easy for him in 1910. when
he Won his greatest glory, defeating the
Chicago Cubs in three games.
The collapse of the Cub twirlng staff
enabled Coombs to walk home to three
easy victories, as the Athletics scored
% runs in the three games he pitched.
He won by scores of to ), l. to ),

Not since the sinking OF the Lusi-

BY such demands for war.
At that time he held out against a
majority OF his cabinet and popu-

AN OVERSIGHT

In connection with the re- cent labor dissatisfaction there seems to have been no notice taken of the fact that all com mission employees are given
 free hospital and medical at tendance, by the best surgeons obtainable, for all injuries or sickness incurred in the line of duty. And, in addition, in event of injury, the employee receives partial compensation for all time lost. The de
 pendent members of the family of an employee also have the privilege of the hospital at greatly reduced rates. In no private operations do employ ees receive such consideration, the usual procedure being to deduct varyiny sums from the monthly pay. which is turned over to a local practitioner, who, in turn makes all hOSpit- al and medical arrangements.

BIG STEEL PLANT IS
 ASSURED FOR COAST

Seattle: B. L. Thane and s. F. B. Morse, who recently took an option on three hundred acres of land at American lake for the site of a large steel plant, returned to this city last night and have closed the deal which gives them title to the ground. They have secured financial backing to the extent of eight mill lion dollars, it is reported, and will
 begin at once the erection of steel mills which will be larger than any thing west of the Atlantic seaboard.
