Coombs, manager of the Philadelphia National league club, yesterday re- signed his position as manager of the team. Charles (Gavvy) Cravath, the hard hitting veteran outfielder of the team, succeeds him. Coombs’ gnation comes as a sur- prise to persons in touch with the baseball situation here. Several days ago Coombs sent his wife to their home in Paris, Tex., and told friends he would join her in a few days. Relations between Coombs and Wil- Jiam Baker, president of the club, have been strained for some time. The Phillies had one losing streak in the west of eleven straight games, and the team again is on a losing streak which has reached eleven games. Baker blames the poor playing of the team to Manager Caombs’ poor handling of the players, while Coombs on the other hand, attributes the poor playing to Baker's niggardly policy in running the club and his failure to spend any money to strengthen the team. , Baker, Coombs and Whitted Confer. Yesterday there was a red het con- among Baker, Coombs and Whitted, the captain of the club. Coombs said that he was notified as early as last Monday that his services no longer would be required. There was much bitter feeling among the Philadelphia players when word was received that Coombs would be let out. Several of the players said they would not take the field yester- day, but Coombs prevailed upon them to take a sensible view of the situation and to give Cravath the best that is in i them. “Cravath is my manager as long as " said Baker after vesterday’s game. “There is a man who will be a success. Coombs Blames Baker. “I did-everything that could be done with the material I had at my dis- posal,” said Coombs. “There are weak spots in the club and I made sugges- tions for their strengthening, not one of which was acted upon. 1 have no complaint to make as to Mr. Baker's decision that he wanted another man- ager, but I object to-his- passing the buck to me as the cause of his team’s failure. I have great respect for Cravath’s ability, but I don’t think ne or anyvbody else can win ball games with the material I had. “We were in fine shape at the start of the season, but on our last western trip we spent over $28 just for tape to fix up spike wounds and other injuries. “Now I understand Mr. Baker 1 ruled that the players must buy their own tape. Whitted, Sicking and Meu- sel have been playing games with in- juries that would have kept them on the bench with any other team in the league. We didn’t have substitutes to take their places and I hml no way of getling any new players.’ Baker Accepts Resignation. Baker's letter accepting Coombs’ resignation said: “In accepting your resignation and giving you your release I want to ex- press to you my sincerest regards. 1 regret very much that matters have gone so badly with the club and know vou did all in your power to win.” Coombs, who was one of Connie Mack's principal pitchers when the r good money for 7 and, my, how puff of Camels! bf the tobaccos yet re- able “body.” Camels velation!
