Chicago. 111., Oct. 24.—Special —
There is only one topic if discussion
in fandom today. “Jack Coombs, the
ultra star of the 1910 series, seems to
have taken up all the room In base
ball circles, and Connie Mack's won
dorful twirler baa the Windy City's
sports buffaloed.
In defeating the Cubs throe out of
five gain03, the big light-haired twirl
er lias established a record, even
breaking that of ' Babe" Adams,
the Pittsburg-Detrcit series of a
>'~ar ago. And still another record
has been smashed by Macks bunch
of plnyers in wiuulng four games
ou: of five with the aid of but two
pitchers—one that will probably nev
c: b<* equaled.
Cheered by Saturday's victory and
the possibility of a double-header
yesterday, a vas; crowd of* funs turn*
fd out to see the game, and when the
final half of the 9th Inning was over
and the curtain rung down on base
hall for 1910, a inn*’** sorr)’ and de
