FORM WITH PHILS 'Under Jack Coombs's Tu toring Young Twirlcr Is ' ' Developing Rapidly HAVE MORNING DRILL Clinrlotlr, N, C, April 2. Jack- Coomba Is doing wonaers with Ills new hurlcrs. Jack knows qulto a llttlo bit about tho fiiro points of pitching, plckbil up during tho seasons when ho was ono oL tho best righthanders In the Rome, and ho Is fairly successful In Imparting his knowledge of how to throw 'cm past tho batter. Tho Phils need hurlcis, and Jack Is going to, get thfcm somehow, or bust a gallus trying. As a. fairly good start ho has succeeded ih making a regular hurler out of Frank Woodward. Wbody was with tho team last year during tho training jaunt,, but needed experience and sense, so ho' was farmed out to Now Haven as a good placo to get somo of both, probably becauso of its proximity to Vale. GREATEST FIELD FOR SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN INDUSTRIAL WORLD h ' a i Now a Regular Ho didn't stay there long, as tho luro of tho' deep bluo and tho chances ot getting a potshot at a submarines In duced him to join tho navy. Also Wood liked fishing. Since ho camo hero with tho regular squad ho has been showing lome real hurling. "Vhll6 all the other twlrlers Jiavo been holding back, WoodyiJias been 1 doing likewise, but during tho last cou ' pie of days ho has been cutting looso ' with a brand of fast ball that Is nt f least ns good as any manager could want In July. tl Jack Coombi Is a good scout and V, everybody that has any dealings with .1 l,tv. to etpnnt. frif lilt,, Tlinf C-OPB fOT tho ball losscrs as well as tho Inhabit ants. When tho team arrived hero the Belmont CatholI? College asked for a gamo. They had played the IhllllC3 hero twenty -years ago and wanted another crack at the big leaguers. Helps Collegians The college Is strong for athletics, ''i and, as It Is virtually Impossible for -! tli.m to draw nnv kind of crowds, tho . ,.-. ., - athletic association funds are as weau In tho knees as a spavined mule. Jack played at Colby himself, nnd has a pretty good Idea of what tho average pmall college Is up against In keeping Its sports going, so he suggested that tho game bo played for tho benefit of tho athletic association. This morning also saw tho first morn- n practlcd slnco the team has been terc, so with tho game this afternoon it ivas a rather strenuous day for tho Phils. Tho Phils hao a sick list now. .Doug las Balrd, the third sacker. Is down with a bad cold, but will probamy tfo ground and ablo to work regularly isoqn. 'Qeorgo Whltted's operation to have his 'tonsils removed left peorgo In a bad ' Iway and ho will not report until tho j lattor. part of the week. '"- . , Samuel J. Dallas, A. A. U.

DALLAS President of tho Amateur Athletic Union ot the United States TTNQUnSTIONABIiY the greatest field '-' for the development ot amateur athletics, to my mind, lies In the Indus trial world of America. The future su premacy of this country In amateur ath letics depends entirely upon the proper development of this virgin field. Thte development must be on a gigantic scale. No organization Is better equipped to handle tho situation .that the Amateur Athletic Union of the United Stntcs, of which the writer Is now president. For a number of years I have been actively connected with tho Meadowbrook Club, 4ho athletic organization In the John Wanamaker store, Philadelphia, nnd I am solid In the Ideas' expressed In tho preceding paragraph. For the last twenty-six years certain numbers of those employed In AVana maker's hac been receiving both ath letic nnd military training, and only labt year tho Walter Camp "dally dozen" setting-up exercises were adopted for tho cntlro "store family," and I am In a position to know to just what extent this training has helped both employer and employe. Forming Plans So much am I Interested In the promo tion of amateur athletics In tho Indus tries of America that I- am now work ing on pl.vair which I hope will revise and modeijlnzo tho athletic conditions In the Un,lU States, CoURges, schools and clubs all do ex celljjpt work In, tho promotion of ath- Ietvcs generally from an amateur stand point. There aro millions of workers In the Industrial plants of America who have not had tho benefit of higher edu cation andt who aro possibly not good enough for' the high-class athletic club to cater to. This brand of athlete, therefore, has gono Into the discard. There Is no reason why every ono should not participate In athletics In one form or another, and If the manufactur ing concerns of tho country all realize tho valuo o0 athletics tho time will come when every ono will be an Interested participant. All Need Play Such manufacturing concerns as have Introduced athletics Into their organiza tions arc strong for them. The names of Uiobo companies aro the best testi monials for' those who aro seriously giving thought to adding athletics to their workshop. Hodern plants have physical directors, athletic associates, athletic fields, gymnasiums, swimming pools, rest rooms and encourage Held days. It Is a proven fact that wo all need play. Tho organization that Interests Its em ployes In athletics Is more than repaid, for tho men and women are made better phys'cally and become more faithful In attendance. There Is less labor turn over, they take pains In their work, the output is Increased and there are no strikes, because every one Is pulling for the organization. There is nothing like amateur athletics to bring tho employe and employer together on a common field. Tho better an employe knows his employer, the better tho conditions will be. Spirit Is what counts. Some ot tho local, organizations that hao taken their employes Into athletic partnership are Mldvale Steel Company, Cramp Shipbuilding Company, Pennsyl vania Itallrqad Company, Western Elec tric Company, Philadelphia Electric Company, Strawbrldge & Clothier, Lit Brothers, Curtis Publishing Company, Hale & Kllburn Company, Dlsston Saw Company, American Bridge Company, J. & J. Dobson, Elliott-Lewis Electric Company, Standard Roller Bearing Com pany and John Wanamaker. A. A. U. lembers The majority of the foregoing are at present and have been for years mem bers of tho Amateur Athletic Union of the United States. Department stores In Philadelphia, such as L,lt Brothers, Snellenburg & Co. and Strawbrldge & Clothier, and the Eaton stores In Canada, Marshall Field & Co. In CKlcago and many other mall order houses havo gone Into various forms of athletics, but have not made It a general thing. Slim Love will not be able to pitch for tho Detroit Tigers for many weeks. It was discovered last week that the lanky southpaw waa suffer ing with a fractured elbow, and Hughey Jennings was compelled to Bend him homo for a long rest. Love pitched somo good ball for the Yan kees last' year, but Miller Hugging Included him In the trade with the Boston lied Sox for Shore, Lewis and Leonard. Tho Sox promptly turned Iajvo over to tho Tigers with Chick Shorten for tho release of Third Baseman Vltt. Jennings was bank ing heavily on Love when the latter's Injury became known through tho medium of an X-ray. SELECT SOCCER DATE Final National Cup Game at Fall River April 19 w York. April 2.
