ir ftiak n. mkmkk,
, NEW TORK, Oct 1 Who will i Im up
from seeming tebscurlty and become the
world series hero of lf-15?
Practically every world series since
the ser.eslng business began In 1:11a, 1)1
produced somebody who rose to the
telghta and became the id l i.f baa bs I. '
- Laat year, you'll rfmcmlr, It waa
Hankerlnoua Oowdy. Before the series
began Hank wasn't figured a anythl.ic
wonderful In the way of a slugger. lie
could hit. yea: hut compared with Eddie
ol.lna, Frank Laker. Joe Connolly a.td,
the other aluggcrs.' Hank wasn't con-1
reded to have a look In aa a batt.ng atar.
Yet he was the real clouting demon of
the eerie.
Hank made six hlta during that series
of four fames and every one counted In
the scoring. Four of them were doublea.
another waa triple, arid the sixth was
a home run smash that saved the third
am for the Braves In the tenth In
alng. when It seemed hopolessly I -Hit.
Oowdy lilt for an average of .645 in
that series, which. In aelect tlostonlan.
Can b claaalfled aa some hitting.
Whiter Rnke starred la l.Jk)l.
It was Whltey" Ttohe who was the
brightest star In that im White Box
gainst Cubs series. Rohe waa looke.l
Upon as a substitute thlrd-sacker. He
was shoved Into the game because thera
was no on else to play at ths time.
Rohe was considered the weak member
Of tha Whlta Box Infield, yet It was
Boh whoa wonderful fielding saved
the Whit Hox pitchers time and again,
and It was th great batting of Ituhj
that paved the way to the Whit Box
victories.
Baker Ik 1011 Hero.
.. Prank Baker aaaumad th role of hero
In th 1911 series. Baker alwaya waa a
lugger, but he Jumped Into everlaattng
(ant by winning on game of the aerled
.with t horn run belt and following It up
th next day with another circuit
mash that gave th Athletics another
victory over th OUifla, and cinched thi
world's championship for th Phlladcl.l
phlana,
laj 1111 It Was Joe Bask.
"Bullet Jo" Bush got his nam and
picture into nearly all th papers dur.ng
th Mil series because of the wonderful
am h pitched against tha Olants.
Just a year or so from th bushes, the
bullet" tackled th Giants In th
'turning point" gam of that series and,
ter a bit of wlldnss In th flrat In
ning, du to nervousness, settled down
and pitched tn a remarkable manner.

Put s" History a Romaaee.
Th history of Pat Moran is little
known to the average fan. But It Is as
tnucji ef 4 romance as 'hat of Alexander,
Bam.roli, Cravath and th otner top
nolchers ssemhled under the l'li'inlrgle
n an's leadership. -
Moran was born In Fltchburg. VaaaH
whlt'n Uttl iflty also turntd nit Jimmy
(allthkn bt th White Box. Moran duo
tot hint a Job as a tsxtll toiler. Pat
went to work for th Boell mill of th
American Woolen company at WhkI
Jr'ltcliburg,' But Moran' lov of th dia
mond was not smothered by th ooni
Iht labor of the woolen mills ant every
spar' moment found th f'i'ur rreat

MIKE GIBBONS IS A FAILURE
iHope that St. Pan! Phantom Would
Measure Up to Start of Past
it Shattered.
1 IS NOW UP TO JESS WILLAED
. N1CW YOIllv. Oct. 1. With tli fallur
of Mlk U.bhon to dl.-poK of Pack
ku'F.rlanu In d calve Jtylo wnt th
beet hope of creating a ring idol who
would measure, up. to-the star of the
paat. Kor the laat few yeurs Gibbons
has been the stand j of those vho sought
to refute the 'theory that the modern
ring can bbast of no such warrior j a
I)eniry, RyaA and MoCoy. -
Kor a time there seemed to- b a" very
good prospect that Gibbons would fill
the bill.': Wh h first appeared-In New
York his work aroused mora enthusiasm
than that of any boxer who appeared on
th fistlu horlson during th last fifteen
years. . In aom of his bouts h did dis
play wonderful 'form. It is doubtful
whether any of the oIA-t)mers could dls
poso of a second-rater In a more polished
msnnc r than Gibbons did , on several
pccaslons. But the real test of a fighter
comes when h is forced to battle with
a man of hi own ciltber and on the
occasion, almost without exception, tha
BC Paul man has been a failure. There
n longer can be any doubt that Gibbon
has been overrated.
Now that Ulbhou he Tailed to make
good It la up to Jess Wlllard to ui hold
the vrestlge if th modern glovmn.'
Nothing much can be" xpcted of Wll
lard so far as avtenr goes, but boxing
skill counts for leas In th heavyweight
cm than in the other dWlslona, It was
tliclr ability to glv -and. take hardi-r
wallops than their rivals that niaJa
hujlvsn. rtttelminon and Jerfrles so
opalae. and Wlllard appear to b sveH
MUlpiwd for that aort of work. Un
fortunately -fur the present heavyweight

Pat was five years with the Bostjns. Hj
was transferred to the Chicago Cubs In

was released to Philadelphia to act as a

has succeeded Dooln as manager.

la tiult likely to happen, for the rea
son It la probabl thif lb big Kansan
will not arouse much enthusiasm as
Jeffries did. although, as a matter of,
fact. Wlllard may be a better uian than
th Callfornlan was.
' Krtle N Ueaaoa.
In th lighter divisions there is no one
In sight who stands out as a fistic mar
vel. Apparently Johnny Ertlo, the tit.
Pkul lanlam who now clnlms the title
of that division, 1 a little U'tter than a
fair second rater. Trom all accounts
Will lama was winning easily when he
delivered th foul blow that la th basis
of Ertle's claim to th honors. While
Williams undoubtedly still Is supreme In
his class. It is apparent that he has don
bt beat .work. Th Baltimore blonde's
one chance to achieve unusual distinction
came when he fncountered Johnny Kil
ban at Philadelphia last spring. On that
oocitaion. Wliliama was badly 'worsted,
and away went hla hopes of tmulatlng
the feats of Terry McOovern. with whom
he 'had been compared.
Among the lightweights Charley
White, Ted Lewis and Johnny Dundee
at (11 continue to show improvement, al
though none ' threatens to become great
enough to compare favorably with the
old favorite. Lewi has plenty of peed. .
but ho other quality that stnnds "t. j
He owe hi success entirely to th fact'
it'hbp around th ring'so faat

I t aa ben abl to catch up. ,

that no on
Dundee still too light to make much
Impression in th heavier men of h
division, and Wl.lt seems to be unable
to overcome hi dlallke for forcing mat
tera jn a .way that would make hla h.t
tin$ count as It should. Willie Kitcht
ta probably t,he moat satisfactory per
former among th lightweights. H 1 a
good boxer aad a good hitter, and as
game an4 aggressive aa a man ma be,
but for 'all that he ha not Von as con.
slstently as a really great fighter should.

The Phillies have but one good pitcher.
The Phillies haven't a star on th team
except Alexander.
Th dope is- all for th Red Sox.
Under such conditions there is no pos
sible way that the Phlllle can lose the
series.
While we think of It we have something
to say, to our customers. One week from
next Sunday we have decided to open
this column to our aforementioned custo
mers. Any customer who has been in

Story of Man Who, After Months on
Sick-Bed, Came Back and
Pitched Fine Ball.
REAL MIRACLE MAN OP GAME
riTTSm-RGH. Pa...Oct, 2.-Thl Is th
story nf the real "M'mcle Man" of base
ball. The story of the bravest of the
brave. The story of John W. Coombs.
It Is not a maudlin yaj-n that rails on
the high heaven to cry out at the pasa
Ing of a hat-rack-headed athlete, who but
for base ball would have dwealt In han
p'nrss around the vll'age cracker barrel
or driven a coal wagon. It Is the story
of a man of education and refinement
as we'l as physical capabilities, who ws
swept from the heights of hi chosen
profession, which hs pruned to he base
1 ball, to the utter depths, through an
accident that nearly cost him his life;
who then had the courage, after an III-
j nes of two years, to take up his work
where he left off, and rise again to the
heights: who probably more than any
single man Is 'responsible ror the Brook
lyn club of the National league being"
among the flrt three In the pennant
race.
Four yeurs ago, pitching In the world'
series against , Christy Mathewson,
Coombs tore the lining out of his side.
How serious an Injury It was. was not
ht first realized. Coombs declares h
pitched for four , Inning in agony and
didn't let anyone know. It happened In
the sixth inning. He went out In the
ninth with the score tied.
This Injury necessltatea a serious op
eration. . Coombs was lost to base ball
I In 1912. In 1913 he went south with the
Athelttcs. feeling fit and ready to take
up his work again. He contracted ty
phoid fever. It took him until early sum
mer to recover from this dlsesse. Then
he made one trip west with the Mackmert,
saw he was not fit and retired to h:a old
home In Main to recuperate. '
On Baric for Months.
He waa swinging at a ball with a bat
Just for .exercise one day when he felt
something catch In hs back. He did
not pay much attention to It at flrt.
but that evening a high fever developed
and he called a physician. His case was
diagnosed a pleurisy, but finally proved
to be spinal typhoid. It Is a disease that
few victim ever recover from. From
late summer until after Christmas
Coombs lay on his back in the hospital.
He had weights strapped to h a head and
lege. He waa a helpless cripple. When
he was finally able to get out of bed, he
had to wear braces. It aeemed hardly
poaslble that he would ever walk with
freedom, let alone Indulge In violent
exercise.'
He went to Texaa, arvfc for six months
lived quietly In the Lone Star state. In
June, 1914, he first took off his braces.
A year later be waa a regular on the
pitching staff Of the Dodgwra. Jack has
won fourteen and lost ten games to date.
His average ia higher than that of li s
club.
He haa shown the Dodger pitchers more
than any of them, even Rucker, ever
knew about fooling the batter. From the
minute he Joined the club in Daytona ne
'has been Robbie' right-hand man:
Matty haa always been regarded as the
last word in pitching as an art. He
must yield to Coombs. Jack looms be
yond htm. Ha haa lesa physically, yet is
rnore effective.
, Marejaartt Tara ta Coomb. .
1 yrtub Marquard, discouraged, dlaheart-j
Oned, apparently through, haa turned to)
Coombs for guidance.
"I have learned mor about pitching
from watching Coomb th few weeks I
have been with the Dodger thaji ln all
th year J was with tha Giants," said
th Rube. "If I do go south next spring
-with him t think I can come back."
Tha players swear by Jack. - Wilburt
Robinson cannot aay too much of him
as a twtrler or aa an aid. "As fin
man and player aa I have known In ovei
thirty years ln baa ball," la President
Ebbeta' trlbut
oombs Janed the Athletic in 1906, II
came to them from Colby college. He
has never been beaten In' a world' aerlee
gam.
"Doc Powers and Lava Cross started
me right," said .Jack In talking: of hla
career th other night. "Powers was a
great catcher. Ha caught me ln that
twenty-four-lnntng game I pitched and
won. Doc had mora to do with tha vic
tory than I did. ..
, "When I came Into tha American lg"aa
I mad a . study of three pitcher Cy
Young and BUI Dlneen, both of whom
threw overhand, and Addle Josa, a elda
arm hurler. - From them. Lav Croaa and
Doc Power I learned all I know el
pitching.".: . i 1. ....
Such is tha story of John W. OoeMb
of tb Dodger. He-1 on of tha few
men in base ball worthy of heroic. Ha
ia tha real "miracle man" of the gam.
