PHILADELPHIA jgOOL
JACK COOMBS SLATED
W) HURL FOR BROOKLYN
, AGAINST PHILS TODAY
Former Athletics' Iron
Man Will be Seen on
Mound in Second of-Series
Erskine Mayer Due
to Pitch.
Fans who were wont to Infest Shlbe
park to see John Coombs, the mighty
Iron Man, hurl, may have a chance to
see the Kenncbunklan again In action.
Tealerday Coomba was warming up with
Nap Ruckor, but tho latter waB finally
chosen by Manager Robinson to do tho
pitching. But this afternoon It Is almost
certain that Coombs, In tho togs of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, will be seen In tho
firing pit against the Phillies.
Erskine Mayor will do the pitching for
the Phillies, unless Pat Moran decides at
the last moment to depart from his regu
lar order of choosing his twlrlors. Mnyer
was due to pitch before Chalmers, but
as the "Comibaek" was In good condition
yesterday ho was sent In and won his
gamo from Brooklyn, E to 2.
Thus far the Phillies have won 10 out
of 11 starts. Their play yesterday was
far from tho peppery stuff they havo been
putting up In tho games gone by, but at
that they managed to win, which, as far
as tho fans are concerned. Is the main
Issue. This afternoon there should be a
good crowd out to cheer tho fleet Phils
on to their 11th victory.
The game today Is scheduled to begin
at 3:30 o'clock.

ATHLETICS' PITCHING
GOOD; HITTING WEAK
Bressler or Wyckoff May Op
pose Ayres or Johnson To
day Shawkey's Good Work.
"WASHINGTON. April 23. It was gen
orally believed that the great weakness
of the Athletics this season lay In the
pitching staff, but yesterday's perform
ance showed them to bo strong In that
department nnd weak on the ' offense.
Shnwkey hurled a beautiful gnme, allow
ing but three hits, yet the Mnckmen were
unaoic to win. MacK cannot hope to have
any bettor pitching today than ho had
yesterday, but he doubtless figure that
his team will be better with the stick later
on in tho season.
Bressler or Wyckoff will be In the box
for the Athletics against Doc Aycrs or
u alter Jonnson today. Should Avers bo
called on to pitch. Mack will bo sure to
uso Bressler, but If Johnson goea In. Wyc
koff wilt bo used by the tall Phllndel
phlan. The ony possible chango Mack may
make today Is In tho third base station.
McConnell has been making good at
Baker's, old place, but at that Mack may
decide to try King Kopf again.
CENTRAL HIGH LOSES THREE
OF ITS STAR OARSMEN
Ineligibility of Captain Thomas and
Two of Crew Hard Blow.
Three of the Central High School star
oarsmen have been declared Ineligible
and tho resignation of both Captain Carl
Thomas and Manager Baldl has been
asked for by Prof. Philip Maas, chairman
of tho Committee on Rowing at the Broad
and Green streets Institution.
The three oarsmen who were declared
ineligible are Homing, bow; Uhoads, No.
2, and Stafford, No. 5, all of whom have
fallen back In their scholastic standing
and will be unable to compete for one
month. Boming and Rhoads rowed In last
j ear's American lntcrscholastic cham
pionship eight, while Stafford wns con
sidered to be one of the mnlnstays of
this year's boat. Manager Baldl Is also
back In his studies.
The athletic commission nt Central
High contributes $100 a year to tho main
tenance of the crew, and this money has
already been spent for repairs to the
shell and tho trip to Annapolis lust Sat
urday, when tho Plobes defeated tho
Crimson and Gold eight.
Slnco all the funds have been expended
it is not likely that tho Central Hicrh
School crew will go to New Haven on
May S to row tho Yale freshmen.
ATHLETIC POLICEMAN
IS HARRY FRYCKBURG
220-yard Low Hurdle Cham
pion Is Likewise Splendid
Jumper Now Recovering"
From Operation.
Harry K. Pryckburs, the Middle At
lantic Association 220-yard low hurdle
champion. Is not only a great athlete,
but one of tho nattiest of tho city police
force. Harry "has been able to train at
off times and .is a result has come to
tho forco as the best policeman-athlete
In Philadelphia. Not only enn he hurdle
wonderfully well, but he Is able, when
In condition, to leap more than 3 feet
lu the running- broad jump.
For a while Harry was detailed on a
motorcycle and lately he has been doing
duty at the busy 33d and Market street
coiners. Harry developed a 'nernia the
past winter and Is now recuperating from
an ooera.tlon for that ailment. He hopes
to be in tip-top condition by the middle
of the summer, when he will again take
up his specialties of hurdline and broad
Jumping.
At tho police carnival each year Harry
is the scratch man In the events, and In
the open competition ha Is likewise
awardxd the 'nonor position. Ho won top
honors at the last police tournament, and
following this no headed the police bas
ketball team. It was while playing the
.cage game that he strained an abdom-

Local Hard Hitter Is Anxious
for Battle Here With Chi

Before the lid Is clamped down on box
ing in this city for the season during
the summer months, 'Willie Moore, ho of
knockout fame, is anxious to prove his
mettle as a serious contender for tho
vacant welterweight tin one. The South
wark southpaw Is confident of adding Joe
Heffcrnnn's scalp to his long string ot
knockouts. He announced this morning
that he Is prepared to clash with nny
of the klng-pln 'S2"-pounders In the
country.
Billy McGoniglc, Moore's manager, said
that he Is negotiating with local pro
moters for the purpose of bringing n star
welter, probably Pnckey McFnrland,

nothing would suit him better than to

Is in the finest of fettle for his melee

thn Broadway A. C. tomorrow night.
Hauber possesses a terrific right-hand
wallop.
One of the gamest and best lightweights
who ever pulled on a glove, nnd who Is
well known In Philadelphia as a corking
good battler, has announced his retire
ment from tho ring after many years of
fighting. He is Tommy Murphy, of Now
York. Harlem Tommy was a serious con
tender for the "33" pound laurels at ono
time, but he was noer given an oppor
tunity to fight for tho championship.
North Penn fight fans nre boosting
Johnny Morgan, a 110-pound youngster,
as ono who promises to develop Into a
star bantamweight. Morgan has had but
five professional fights, winning each
handily. He Is a vcrltnblo whirlwind In

on tho former's Meld, 23th and Cambria

The student bodies of both schools are
manifesting much Interest in the contest.
Captains float and Webb have their base

of tho best diamond duels of the scholas

Abrams and McCarthy probably will
appear In tho box for the Speedboy na

form aro Frctz, Carey, Won, Somers,
Taylor, Shelton nnd Simpson. John
Locker, former captain of the Red and

Klser, of La Rallo College, has been
dlsplaslnj; such wonderful form in Held
nnd track events that many of the Unl
erslty's followers believe he is the lead
ing all-round athlete of the college. His
running on the La Salle relay team has
greatly bolstered the quartet.
Although the School of Pedagogy base
ball team Is somewhat weak this year,
tho catcher, Smith, promises to develop
Into a star backstop. His work behind
the bat Is sensational, while his ability
with tho stick has boosted him as tho
hardest hitter on the team. He clouted
out a homer in a recent game with two
men on.

cued by Their Coach.

storm, which freshened to a galo Imme
diately, threatened to capsize two Yale

last night. It was only tho activity of
tho head coach, Guy NIckalls, and his
presence of mind in using the coaching
launch which averted a tragedy, It Is be
lieved. The varsity crow was two and a half
miles out In the harbor, rowing at a good
speed, with the coaching launch close by,
when the squall struck. They had failed
to notice the threatening clouds. At the
first gust the waves wero lashed high and
tho varsity shell shipped considerable
wator. Nlckalls stood to windward with
tho launch, while tho varsity shell was
headexl crosswise of the waves toward the
shore, a mile away The varsity reached
Morris covo only after a hard fight with
the waves. Their shell was running in
water over their ankles when they reached
shore.
The sophomore class eight-onred crew
was five miles out in tho hnrbor. Nlckalls
made for tho boat Nearby the sopho
more crow was George V. Caesar, of Ta
coma. Wash., In a single scull. Nlckalls
reached him before ho was upset nnd took
him uboar3. The sophomore eight. In tho
lee of th3 launch, worked toward shoro
slowly, shipping considerable water. When
near the shore their boat swamped, but
they carried it to safety and balled It out.
leaving It on the shore. Clothes were sent
to them while they waited at a clubhouse.
