TACK COOMBS htm been passed upon nml ununimously elected n member
" of the managers' union by the bait players now suffering on tlieir (mining
trip down here. The new pilot of the Phils lias demonstrated lie knows base
ball of the 1010 vintage and can teach it without the nld of a map. It took
two weeks to prove this, but now that it's over the boys are playing bard,
taking an interest in their veoik and seem eager to lenin.
Coombs stepped into n job, but that lets him out. Ilii ball club is noth
ing to brag about, for there are many glaring weaknesses which will cost him
lots of ball games before the season is over. Notwithstanding this handicap,
the new manager is working just ns hard and lias as much enthusiasm ns n
lucky guy with n pennant winner on his hands. He is teaching n different
brand of baseball, but it is interesting, and the players cannot get enough
of It. They are like prep school kids learning the game for the first time.

plajing in the infield or dcliienng :i short lecture on n plav which had been
missed. He is not n hnid taskmaster, but in n smooth, easj vwiv insets that
his ideas be carried out. Thus fnr no one has disputed nnvthitig he has said
nnd everything is serene and jojful. If the players continue to show the
present spirit the Phils will be a bappv familj this jear, with every man
working his bead off for results. Too bad Jack hasn't a fairly good team
to start with.
VSJ1IEX Voran was let out it was believed that the older player,
" like Luderus, Craiath, Rancioft, Oeschaer and the others, would
not plav their bett for the new man. There is nothing Me that on
the ball club. The veterans like Coombs, like his method and ate
slrona for him nersonallu. Instead of luina down on the ioh. thru
will go the limit.
j May Issue Orders to Strike Out
"100MBS collected lots of good stuff while toiling for Connie Mack, and
Vjdoes not hesitate to say that the slim strntegKt is the best manager in
the world. He is using some of Connie's ideas and he would be u suekei
If he didn't
The other night, when it was too cold to be on the stieel nnd the plmeis
were around the steam radiator in the lobbv, .lack joined the group. There
was an argument about the proper way to hit the ball, and Coombs broke in,
j haying:
i Know everyDoay iikps to nammer mar pin, out sometimes it becomes
necessary to stand up at the plate with your bat on your shoulder and nllow
I yourself to be called out on strikes. Now suppose 1 tell one of you men to
go up and strike out some time this summer? What will jou do?"
"Don't tell me to do that,"' said Bnncioft. "I ?an whiff enough times on
the level without instructions. Lay off me on that stuff."
1 "You're the manager," said Onvvy Crnvatli, "and 1 suppose we must
follow orders. But it's a tough assignment, because that will be the time
the pitcher will stick them in the groove."
5 "Well," responded .lack slowly, "you can expect to do that very thing
J this year. The pitchers will be the goats most of the time, but as they can't
J fitt anyway, it won't be so bad. But the other fellows also arc likely to
j have a taste of it.
lor example, suppose it is a very not day, mv pitcher i going good
lid the game is close. Now what would be the use of having liim run his
head off around the bases, if be is luckj enough to get a bit, and get s,i tired

Aii Example of Connie the Cunning
m
NK Fourth of July we were playing the New York Yankees and it wa
one of the hottest clays I ever experienced. We plajed two games.
j morning and afternoon, and I woikecl in the first. I he heat mis terrible
J,Jind I was working haul, and when it came my turn to bat Connie Mack told
Itjno to strike ut. 1 didn't like to do it, because I was pioucl of in hitting
'in those days, but Connie insisted on it I never took the bnt from my
shoulder and let three pet feet strikes noat i. it was tlie tame the next
two times, making three strike-outs in a row
"We got off to n bad start in the afternoon game, but tied the scoie in
t.Jbe seventh inning after two pitchers had been used. Connie sent me in to
Jinisn me- game, anci if was n lougn u.itiii', which msieci niieen innings. In
fihat game T went to bat three times, and each time Connie told me to
iwtriko out. That didn't mean to work the pitcher for a base ou balls, but to
Jijiit at balls in the giouud or over mv head, mi long ns 1 did not have to run
The strategy of the play was to save the pitcher for pitching nnd nllow the
1'iilher players to hit the ball. 1 didn't like it at the time, but now sin con-
Kvlnced it is the proper dope.

Missed Chances
THEItn is the ense of two scouts Hughey Jennings bent down to look over
Grover Cleveland Alexander nt n time when Jennings needed pitchers
badly. These two scouts saw Alexander pitch n double-header against Wilkcs
I Harre. Alex lost the first game, J to 0. He won the second, '1 to 0. In
eighteen innings be allowed only one hid.
I Here wns a big, well-built pitcher with fine speed nnd n good curve ball,
with good control, who just had pitched two lemarknble games in one day.
I Yet the two scouts repotted that he would never do. Why? Ilecauso he had .
a side-arm motion that never would last, both thought, in the big league,
i There nic very few side-aim pitehcis of any value, Alexander pitching
, lootiou brought the adverse verdict, and by this report Jennings lost n pitcher
i who easily might have won three or four pennants, backed up by the batting
1 of Cobb, Crnwford. etc.
Worse than this, the manager who handled Alexnnder that season wired
I Clark Griffith not to try to buy him, ns the side-arm motion never would
I last in the main show.
rHESIJ scouts mcicly worked upon the theory that as niuctccen
side-arm pitchers out of twenty aic of very Ulllc use, they had
nineteen chances out of twenty in being right by turning Alexander
down.
The Other Way
THERK are times when 'the manager bits the Skids lather than the scout.
One eagle-eyed observer many years ago wired Fred Clarke, of Pittsburgh,
that he had located, n great looking youngster out in n small Idaho town,
who could be secured for carfare East,
Clarke was suspicious of youngsteis wtio could be bought for $25 or ?30.
"I've got nil the oungsters I need," he wired back.

The Kinks of Genius
THE mystic kinks of genius in baseball arc often beyond unraveling. Take
the case of Jim Vaughn. '
The Yanks tried out the big left-hander for four or five years. They gav
I him one trial after nnother. They knew he had the stuff, nnd yet year after
year he was virtuallytvaluelcs!.
' So they finally tinned him over to Clarke Giifiith, n mnstcr hand at th
ly t of getting out the best n pitcher has.

XJILLS arc not real things to the
x driver of a Standard Eight. They
only look real. The road ahead bends
upward.
But the car, driven by eight powerful
cylinders, rushes along unconscious of a
grade. A little pressure of the toe on the
foot-throttle and your car goes up and
on, as though it were lighter than the
air and could not help climbing.
One rldj in a Standard.Eight will giv
you a new conception of what wonden
in power, speed and flexibility such an
automobile can accomplish.
Let us give you a demonstration. '
