CINCINNATI, May 11. The Cincinnati club Is still living up to Us reputation of developing star players for other teams. For years the Reds have turned looae men who have played great ball for the other teams. Pitchers Jean Dubuc, of the Tigera, and Elmer Brown, of the St. Louis Browns, are the latest examples.

Cincinnati picked Dubuc after ha had pitched great ball for Notre Dame, He was tried in Cincinnati two seasons and then turned over to Montreal. Now he Is the star pitching recruit of tho Detroit club. Red Nelson recommended Elmer Brown to the Reds last spring. Griff procured an option on him from the Columbus club, which had farmed him out to Akron. Brown was in poor shape when he reported to the Reds and Griffith decided he would do because of his failure to produce a good curved ball.

Brown returned to Akron and had another big year. Now he promises to stick with the Browns. Sam Crawford, Oscar Stanage, Jim Delahanty, Mike bonlln, Cy Seymour, Al Brtdwell, Mike Mowrey, Rebel Oakes, Miller Hug-gins, Orvle Overall and Harry Stelnfeldt are other players who starred after being dropped by the Cincinnati team. hurdler, have each won four first places In the garnets they have been in. John Flanagan ranks right along with Sheridan as a weight wi elder, these two being the world's premier athletes in the heavy events.

Ralph Rose, who holds the shot-putting record of the world has showed well in the Olympic games. He was formerly a aiudent at the University it Michigan and. several times he has oeen to Nashville, where he has given private exhibitions of his skill with the shot on Dudley field. Rose made the world's shot-putting record of 64:4 at Healsbury, on June 28, 1909, a mark which has never been touched since and which will probably last for years. Mei Sheppard, the American, who took the 800-metre and runs at London at the last Olympic gameo will again be a member of the American team and If Is expected that he will not only take several firsts at Stockholm In June, but that he will lower a mark or so.

The Americans will leave for Stockholm this year early In June, traveling on a specially chartered ship, where they will live while In Sweden.

In these trials of athletic prowess, have so outclassed the rest of tho world that the games, as a whole, have been one-sided, most of the contests being between rival Americans. Since the lovivai or the ancient Grecian custom of celebrating each Olympian, or fourth year, by athletic sports, American has captured seventy-two first places out of a possible ninety-seven, or a first place percentage of .742.

The twenty-five first places not won by Americans In these five great contests are distributed between England with 11; Sweden, Canada, Ireland, Finland, France, Greece, 1: South Africa, Hungary, 1, and Germany, 1. These figures Include, of course, only the first places, not points, the latter being based on second and third places as well aa firsts, and also the figures Include only what are known In America as the track nnd field events, thus eliminating swimming bicycling and other side Issues, which properly speaking do not belong to the regular events of the Olympic games.

New York handed tho pennant to the Quaker CUv by walloping the living day light out of Detroit all season. It was the Rilltoppers that llrst made the Jungaleers on the toboggan.

The llrFt few weeks threatened a walkover for Detroit. The sensational winning streak of the Bengals was broken by Xew York. Every time after that when Detroit gave an'v evidence of pulling together and heading off the Athletics it met with reverse at the hands of Gotham. Hal Chase's club lost as to the White Elephants as It won from the Clty-oMhe-St raits. And then the world's series.

Where wnuM Tinker have been without his for midable bat? But for Simmons, who Is now a Yankee, this slugger would never have seen tho piece of wood that he loves dearly as Ills Immortal soul. Bush may claim the credit of aiding the Athletics to the highest honors of baseball. But do you not think that Simmons at least shares the halo with Baker and with Bush? Just another little speculation before the veil Is drawn. Did you ever stop to consider how lucky both Baker and his bat were to gain such undyjng fame on two hits? In 1109 Fred Clarke won a world's championship for TMUsburg in identically the same fashion Hp- robbed Detroit of the honor by annexing two separate games with homo runs. And both of his demon blows fell with men on the bases.

This wonderful old player, a true hero of full fifteen campaigns, attracted not even a passing mention through his performance. That was a series that went the full limit of seven games and one In which the scores on both sides were unusually high and fluctuating. Neither blow fell at such critical points of high tension as the circuit smashes of J. Franklin Baker. Who ever mentions the deadly blow of "Rube" Oldring in the fifth game of the world's series with the Giants? His home run smash off Marquard in the third Inning of that tilt at the Polo Grounds was the most damaging smash of tho series.

His liner cleared the conter left field bleacher, carried far into the crowd and tallied tyo runs ahead of the batter. It was the prettiest pinch hit imaginable, for it felt with two down. It irave Jack Coombs a .1 to 0 handicap. Yet, strange to say, "Rube" Oldring was but an eight-inning hero. Tho Giants got to Coombs for a run in the soventh, then tied the count on him In tho ninth.

Eventually Crandall beat out Plank, who was substituted too late for Connie's great pitcher, who had strained himself earlier in the game. Oldring's home run did not stand out because rnunoeiphia lost, joo i inn-er's home run in 1908 In all probability decided a world's championship In favor of the Cubs over Detroit. It unnerved Wild Bill Donovan, who for feven Inninvrs pitched one of the most phenomenal games or history, nut Joe Tinker swat was clouded by the fusillade of hits off Donovan that succeeded once the Ice was broken. There are some strange superstitions in baseball. One in connection with Baker's bat may1 be interesting enough to bear watching.

Both Simmons and Bush declare there's a hoodoo in Baker's stick that will cet a fellow sooner or later. The first time in his life that Simmons fell from tho .300 hitting class was when ho used this same cudgel. Bush started out upon his ownership of the club like a Tv Cobb. In a couple of months he couldn't hit lick with it. Frank Baker had his renowned ash but a short time last fall before the opening of the world's series.

With it ho swatted like a demon. Ho la using the cudgel still, but his hitting so far this season has been away below par. Is thero a in that piece of timber and is it' working on Baker now? If you are at all interested In superstition watch the batting averages. Ice cream is responsible for Ping Bodie's great showing at the bat this year. While Harry Davis has not been producing as good ball with his team of young stars as expected, Cleveland has proven a great attraction on the road this spring.

August Nine Sundays Ton Sundays COOMBS ALMOST A FAILURE ONCE Mack Gave Him Up for Hopeless When He Suddenly. Blossomed.

PIIIL.ADETjP'HTA, May 11. It not generally known, Connie Mack once gave up hope for Jnck Coombs, now one of the best In the business. Mack; had decided to make a scout of Coombs when the transformation took place. Tn his first three or four attempts as a big leaguer, Coombs got along nono too well. He lacked control and when he did get the ball over, ho had to ease up and war hit hard.

Mack thought of trying to make a spit ball pitcher out of Coombs, but" John did not take kindly to the delivery. Mack was in the throes of reconstruction, and thought Coombs might make an outfielder. He had showed much hitting ability during the tew games he pitched. He was used in right field and started at a strong clip. Fortunately for both Mack and Coombs his batting average diminished surprisingly.

He was given a seat on the bench. Every day Coombs worked for hours trying to get control. He was finally given another chance on the rubber and emerged with flying colors. He likewise delivered on. his noxt soveral appearances.

Then came his (Treat twenty-four inning battle which he won frnm Boston, workincr the entire game. Shortly afterwards something went wrong with his arm. The cords in his pitching arm had shortened and tho best medical attention failed to give relief. Mack was told Coombs could never pitch another game. Connie outlined a scouting trip, when the big pitcher asked permission to let a certain trainer take charge of his case, uonnio consented and tho almost unknown performed a miraculous cure.

Never since has Coombs been troubled with tho arm that was pronounced glass and lie is today the "Iron Man."

Tho world's championship baseball series of 1911 a closed book. It dwells now in the public mind tho sport-loving public, that is-t as an interesting epoch of ancient history. Fundom lives in the present; never upon the past. Even to the analytic mind the carnage nd glory of lust fall must have faded long ago. Memory is revived here only to' throw additional Hirht nnnii nno feuture of th nnst ebissle.

That feature embraces the chubby, big bat that robbed McGraw of the world's championship pennant. Tho bat belonged to Prank Baker, third baseman of ibe Athletics. lie garnered two home runs In the series, the first of "Hube" Marqilard the second of the master of all pitchers, Christy Mathewson. Philadelphia could never have won either game without Baker's pinch home runs. Hud the two games in question fallen to the lot of Xew fork the Polo Grounders would have taken tho series by four games to two, tho margin by which Connie Mack's wonderful team triumphed.

Now, about tho well-oiled bat of Baker. A dozen different stories have been told as to how lie came into possession of it. Here is the true story, told, we sincerely believe, for the llrst time. The existence of the famous stick of Becond-growth ash is due to the good fellowship that obtains in professional baseball as in other walks of llfo. The' bat was made especially for George Simmons, the Rochester recruit of the Yankees, dho has done considerable infield subbing for Harry Wolverton this spring.

An admirer of this Brooklyn lad a couple of years ago, while Simmons was a member of Hughle Jennings' Tigers, turned the stick with his own hands and presented it to the consistent minor league slugger. Simmons never had a great amount of luck witb the cudgel. It was a trifle short and top-heavy for him. He gave it a thorough trial, then discarded It. He kept it only because It had been a present to him.

Owen Bush, tho clever little short-atop of the Tigers, borrowed Simmons' bat one day after he had broken his own favorite shlllaleh. As a result ho had a very favorable and profitable afternoon. With the innate superstition of ballplayers in general, he fell in love with the stick. He wanted to buy it, but Simmons wouldn't sell. Finally Simmons was turned back to the Eastern League by Detroit.

Bush begged so hard for his favorite weapon that Simmons finally made a present of It to the mldcet shortstonper. For a time Bush prospered in his now mace. Only a fair hitter, he began to climb up to the .300 notch. He had many extra base hits in his collection of swats. But after a counle of months he foil away in form.

He stuck to the bat until It was apparent that something was radically wrong with his form. Mentors advised him that the bat was too heavy and clumsy for such a little fellow. Bush found a new stick. More than a vear later the Athletics were In Detroit for a very important series. Prior to the game the third sacker of the Athletics borrowed Bush's dis carded bludgeon for batting practice.

He was so wen pioasea wun its swing ana balance that he approached Ownle on the matter of a Bush had no particular use for the club'. Besides, he Is a generous little chap. "If the stick is any good to you, Frank, he said, "why, go ahead ana take it. It's yours. Only don't tell 6Immons.

He gave It to 'mat atternoon tne world champions turned the tables on the Tigers. Baker led the onslaught against Mullln, Donovan nnd Summers. He had four hits In five times to the plate, the collection Including a homer and two doubles. Baker has never since let that good stick out of Ms sight. It Is said that he slept with it during tho world's series last fall.
