I venture to say that the proportion of amokers in the city high schools is much greater than it is in the country high schools, “The city high school athlete is generally used up before he comes to college. Very few of the ath. letes in country schools take part in more than one or two branches ot athletic sport and they do not enter these with the same vigor and intensity that the city boy does, Look at the star of the aver age city school, for instance, , He is generally a member of the football jand basket ball teams during the jfall term. The next term he goes jout for track and baseball and re- votes bis spare time to swimming and tennis, It is no wonder that a boy who has trained for these vart- od sports with the vigor and in- tensity that the average member of @ big city high school team does is about done up when he reaches the university, As a general rule the prep school star does not live up to bin reputation after he comes to college. “Training is a dangerous thing in the hands of a novice, The great- emt fault with the average high has won honors in ome of the big|school atiilete 1s the fact that he motts.

In hie first three or four attempts as a big leaguer, Coombs got along none too He lacked control and when he did get the ball over, he had to ease up and was hit hard, Mack thought of trying to make a epit ball pitcher out of Coombs, but John did not take kindly to the delivery. Mack was in thet hrees of recon struction, and thought Coombs might make an outfielder. He had showed much hitting ability during the few games he pitched, He was used in right field and started at a strong clip. Fortunately for both Mack and Coombs his batting aver age diminished surprisingly.
