been in baseball for thirteen wears

salary Furthermore, he is a shrewd

sv after with three singles and a double.
Blank was next with 2 two-b base hits and
one single and Kennedy also punched

Jack Coombs, who recently retired
from baseball after brief and very
unsatisfactory fling as manager of
the Philadelphia club, may return
to the game as magnate. From
the Quaker City comes a well
founded report that Colby Jack has
$780, 900 of his own to invest in the
National league club in that city, and
that he may head a syndicate to buy
the franchise under which William

Coombs first made it known that
he sought to OBTAIN a financial inter-

was deposed by Baker to make room

but that amount to get players who
would strengthen the Philles and
make them pennant contender-. At
the time little heed was paid to
COMBS remarks, but a day or two
later Baker was approached by a
person who said he represented a
syndicate that was wiling to pay
S250,00O for the controlling interest
in the club, and the fact that Coombs
had set that figure as the value of
the club at this time led many to
believe that it was he who inspired
this offer.
There are 5000 shares Of stock in
the club outstanding at present. the
par value of share being 800. In
view of the fact that the club is bad

at this time Coombs declared that a
share is worth only $50 in his
opinion, and that s350,000 was very

ceived an offer from a syndicate. but
animated that he had spurned 1t.
Furthermore, he does not seem to
think that Coombs is a member OF
the clique which opened negotiations
