The Phillies bad a peer ntsen this year, finishing en the same jewly fleer ns the Athletics in the American League, se it Is highly proh ibit that the PblMy officials want a juw leader. flaceee ded Coombs Gawy began his managerial career with the Phillies en July 8, 1010, when (he club was in the midst of a scries with the Chicago Cubs. He succeeded Jehn Kennebunk Coombs, one of the greatest hurlers the game has ever seen. Jehn, after being released by Oonnie Mack, along with Chief Charles Bender and Kddie Plank, after the dls dls litreu .world's scries of 1014 en which tie Athletics were trimmed in four itralgbt games by the Bosten Braves, jnslly landed In Brooklyn. There he did some great twirling but eventually lid te quit because of an Injury that ) received In the world's scries with the Giants in 1011. When Pat Meran wis released as manager of the Phillies liter the season of 1018, Coombs was Bimed pilot. At the beginning of the 1010 season the Phillies went well but suddenly took a terrible slump, from which they Itemed destined never te recover. Coombs decided te resign and his offer te quit was accepted. According te lome of the Phllly players, he was 0&mmZ jmwwwwNKHkwwwwwww GAWY CRAVATH forced by President Baker-. te resign. At nny rate his resignation caused bol bel shevism te spread in the ranks of the club. Threaten Strlke On July 8, 1010, the day that Crav ath was named manager, a general strike of the players was threatened as n pretest against Coombs' resignation. However, all of the members of the club eventually went out en the field except Oene Packard and Harry Pcarce. Frank Woodward, after taking part in practice before the Cubs game, left the field, nnd these players, with Coombs, sat in the: centerQeld bleachers that day. Cravatii was popular with the players and Anally harmony was restored. But Gavvy couldn't step the toboggan. The Phillies slid te the bottom and stayed there, finishing fifty-one points below St. Leuis in 1010. In 1020 the club was switched around. Art Fletcher came ever from New Yerk nnd Davy Bancroft went te the metropolis. Fred Luderus was dis posed of, and Gavvy benched himself and ether shifts were made. But they were all te no purpose. At the close of the season, the Phillies were going badly and ended in the cellar ngaln. While Cravath's managerial career here was net brilliant, it was by no means all his fault.
