JACK DEHIPSEY KNOCKS OUT CARL MORRIS IN ONE ROUND; COOMBS TO MANAGE PHILS Who Stole Charley Ross No Such Mystery as Pitt-Cleveland Game No football game of the seazon I* causing so much argument as that In which the Cleveland Naval Re- A serves trimmed Pitt. Who Btole Charley ROBS IS ho mystery com pared to this one. Certain critics In the Smoky City how blame Glenn Warner for the flasao. Baying that he started the fray without n time keeper. Xcn Scott, a Cleveland football crltlct makes this statement* and ho ought to know, because, ns ho tells the story, the ottWlnla appealed to him to know how much time had elapsed. Pittsburgh writers have - stated that the tirst Quarter was fif teen minutes, second Quarter nine * minutes, third quarter ton minutes and fourth quarter twenty-six minu tes. But. according to Scott. It was r.ct until after the Panthers had made their first touchdown that It was learned no one was keeping time. Scott, according to the story, acting In his capacity as a reporter, wished to know the otflcial time consumed in making the score. On the twenty-sixth play Cleve land scored a touchdown. As to this Scott writes: "Therefore, Instead of extending the time to let Cleveland win out. if any extending was done, it was done In a manner that gave Pitt a chance to come back and over- j come the one-point Cleveland lead. I , There Is no denying that the Cleve- i land coaching staff would have been , tickled to have had time called as j soon as Stlnchbomb had kicked the i goal deciding the game. Instead, j twenty-six more plays were run. In- 1 stead of Pitt raising a cry of "rob- > bery" Pitt should admit she had ; everything for the Panthers' gain, , for the longer they played, the more chance Pitt had of evening the count. ( Cleveland had everything to lose, ; nothing to gain. Umpire Durfee is not to be blamed. It Is not the duty * of the umpire to keep time. He Is too much too busy In looking after his other duties. The field Judge Is supposed to handle the watch. There was no field Judge here Saturday, be * cause Glenn Warner did not want one." A far better yarn comes from Bill i Hollenback who told it to Bob Max well, like this: "There is no mys tery whatsoever, for Pitt was de- ! stined to hit the skids one week be- i . fore the game was played, and I have • the documents right here to prove j It!" "I repeat." said Bill, "that Pitt was beaten a week before the game, and i the work was put over on a train i running between Pittsburgh and ! Cleveland. Never heard of a football . 'game being lost on a train? Well. ; you can't learn any younger, so get . an earful of this story, because I have the documents to prove It. "Refore Pitt met Georgia Tech the Cleveland Naval Reserves sent a chal lenge for a game to be played in Cleveland November 30. A couple of scohts saw Tech take a lacing in the j big game, and When they retired to the smoking compartment on the. irritn that night they could think of . nothing but the terrible licking the j * " Naval Reserves were in for on the i following Saturday. That's how the j Cleveland representatives felt that night—and I have the documents to prove it- Fate sealed on Train But there was one person on the j train who broke into the conversa- i tion. and his comments on the game ; w ere so real that one of the scouts asked him to please come out and j help coach the team for the Pitt battle. This person consented, and j that's how Cleveland happened to win | the game on a train. This is true, because I have the documents- "Anyway." whispered Bill, "Pitt's fate was sealed the very instint that guy promised to teach thP sailors some new football stuff, I know this to be a positive fact, ndt only because of the documents I have in my pos session, but because he is a Penn- j sylvanla man and installed the Penn- | sylvania system. That combination could not lose and " "But who was the man. Bill?" in- , terrupted Bob Folwell. "Who was the wizard that beat Pitt?" *"That will come in due time—in 1 due time." replied William. "I have here in my hand some documents which not only are strange but also quite startling. Even you will be | surprised when I divulge the Identity j ARROW COLLARS CtUETT.

I " 'The Friday before the Pitt ! Georgia Tech game.' read Bill, "I j had to go to Pittsburgh, so remained ! 1 over to see the game. On the way j | home I met a crowd of Cleveland peo- j I pie, among them being two scouts ; ' for the sailor team. After a rather j extensive fanning bee one of the ' scouts asked :ne if I would come | | out and help get the team in shape j for ntt. I accepted and started worn j en Monday, and the first thing I got ; tho management to do was cancel the j Thanksgiving Day contest. The.; j ! after my first day's work tho chap i who had been coaching the squad j I promoted me to the position of head . i coach.' " " 'The first thing I did was to teach j ! the linemen the Penn style of play, i j w hlch is to charge through insteu i I lof standing up. Then T built up an | attack which would kill off the Pitt ! ; tackle and fixed up a couple of for- j j ward passes. j " 'With the help of some bum play j i by our tackles Pitt was able to score i in the first four minutes of play, but I J Davies failed to kick the goal. After . I that we didn't do much in the first j half except play on the defensive! and kick a goal from the field, but! ! by that time I had a pretty fair Idea i ! of what our crowd could do, so I set I | the boys right between the halves. I j told them what to do, and they did It.' | " 'We came back at them strong in the second half.' continued Bill, ! his face buried in the letter, and with j the exception of a few good rushes j ! they put over one of my guards they i didn't show us anything in the way j •of rushing the ball. I sent In a i new tar to plug up the hole, and after J I that Warner's men played a defensive j game. The last 10 minutes we had! ! Pitt all but out. We broke up every- • thing they had in a passing way arid I set the backs down with a jolt before 1 they got started. They just couldn't I understand it, and I believe they still J j are wondering how it all happened. " 'This fellow Ducote is one of' the greatest line-charging backs of foot- 1 ball. He weighs 195 stripped, can j take all kinds of punishment and kick | 60 vards any time. If he ever went j to one of the big colleges they soon I would' forget all about Ted Coy.

"What is the name i 1 of this hero who avenged dear old \ Penn and several other things like! that?" "Oh, I forgot," answered Bill, "but ; 1 wanted to surprise you. It was none other than Eddie Green, who' captained the 1907 team. Remember, Eddie? Well, he is the guy, and Ij ! have the documents to prove it. Ed- , | die wrote that letter I Just read, and as he admits everything himself there is no fftrther argument." p That's the dope on the Cleveland- Pitt game, and this is the first time the news has been divulged. To Eddie Green belongs the credit of beatir.g Warner's team,'for he conceived the plays and worked out a defense which ■ stopped the steam roller.

At that timo he | failed to convince Mrs. Coombs that it was .1 good thing for the family. 1 '"•ere is no doubt as to Coombs' I popularity with the local public, but whether he can fill the place left , vacant by the great Pat Mqran is 1 .mother problem. In his four years! 1 ns a manager Moran made a big ; i hit all over the circuit, both as a ( i tactician and as a man. He aecom ! plished wonders with the mediocre ' material he had to work with. Ho I compelled the respect of his men, , and not until the last season, when most of them were nursing a grouch because o L a salary cut, did his team look bad. The counts against Moran seem to be two. In the first place, after - winning the National League pen- j w nant his first year as a manager, lie' actually insisted on having his sal ary raised In tho second place, it is charged that last summer he in-, sisted on living at Atlantic City, one hour's ride from Market street fer ries, and a little more than that from North Philadelphia Station, two blocks from the ball park. Moran states in his defense that he was entitled to at least as big a salary as that received by Charlie' Dooin, his unsuccessful precursor,! and to tho second count he answers! that he was always the first one in! the club house in the morning. I Coombs was a great college; pitcher at Colby University, Maine, from 1902 to 1905, and in 1906 made I his appearance with the Athletics' ind .after two practice seasons, he| did iron-man service up to and in-1 eluding 1912. IJis greatest years! were 1910 and 1911, in which he pitched 92 games, winning 59 and losing 20, an average of .74 6. The former year was the better, with 31 victories and 9 defeats.

The people have the money and hundreds have been wating for just what has occurred to clear the way for them to own a little home.
