will still miss old Col. Combs Of
Kentucky.
Combs in his eleventh season with
the Yankees. still Is great ball
player, or was when he cracked into
the fance down in st. Louis. He had
lost some OF his early speed that
made him cne Of the best center
lelders ever In the American League,
but was doing a fine job patrolling
the left side sector. AS a lead-off
man, Combs was one Of the very
best; a batter who could work q
pitcher to the limit and also crack
out good hard hits. 1t was only .
few days ago tHst Judge X. M.
Lands, his heaG cushioned on the
soft edge Of q concrete wall, was
commenting on what q great player
Combs had been for the Yanks. Just
how good he was the Yankees viii
quickly realize as they hobble along
without him.
The st. Louis crash was the second
serious injury in Combs career with
the Yankees. Back In 1924. his FIRST
Summer with J " York, Combs
heSitated on a slide 10 the plate In
Cleveland, and came out OF the dust
with q badly tRctured ankle. He
suffered no permanent Ill effects
from that accident and came back
TO hold down an outfield post for 10
seasons and participate In four OF
the Yankees world series.
