Jimmy Foxx
Report Foxx To Quit Game
BOSTON, March 4 (U. P.).—The Boston Globe said yesterday -that Jimmy Foxx, once one of baseball’s heaviest hitters, is quitting the game for good. Foxx, who played with the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox and now is a member of the Chicago Cubs, made the statement during ‘a ‘stopover here while on a business trip from ‘New York to Portland, Me., the Globe said. He is an oil company salesman.
quit,” Foxx was quoted. “Baseball may not even start this season, let alone finish it. I'm about at the end anyhow and I'd better stop while I have a good job.” Foxx reached his peak with the Athletics when he came within two homers of tying Babe Ruth's alltime home run record of 60 in a single season. During the past few seasons he has been bothered with

After 10 Years| |
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 4.—Can little “Bobby” Coombs, with the Giants
this season, duplicate Ray Starr's]
feat last year with the Reds? Starr, after years in the minors, came back to the big time with
Cincinnati at the age of 35 and
turned in an excellent season, winding up ‘with an earned-run average of 2.66, seventh best in the National circuit. He was one of Deacon Bill McKechnie’s most dependable starters. In similfr fashion, brown-haired Coombs returns to the majors. at

with the Giants, we must admire
the never-say-die spirit which the
pint-sized pitcher displayed during his decade in the minors when he always tried to fit himself for another big-league chance. ' Starred at Jersey City . Coombs, member of a famous baseball family, won his chance at last by virtue of brilliant pitching ‘with Jersey City in 42. He was the most effective flinger in the International league, winding up the season with an earned-run average of 199. The litile workhorse was second in the number of innings pitched, 258. He was second in: the number of completed games, 24. He was third in the number of shutouts, 6. Coombs was heartbroken in 1933 when he failed to stick with the Philadelphia Athletics. In high school and college, the diminutive Maine lad seemed destined to be another major league | star like his uncle, Jack Coombs—a world series pitching hero with the Athletics, and one of Connie Mack’s' memorable mound trio: Bender, Plank and Coombs. Uncle Jack later pitched in ‘a world series for Brooklyn.
Pitched at Duke
Nephew “Bobby”—who was baptized Raymond at Godwin’s Mills, Me,, in 1908—was the son of a semipro ball player, and two other uncles also were semi-pro performers. Bobby took to baseball like an otter to the river. He pitched at Kennebunk (Me.) high school, at Philips Exeter academy, N. H, and at Duke university, where Uncle Jack incidentally has been coaching for the last 15 years. As a high school flinger, Bobby
once struck out 26 of the 27 boys |
who faced him. Despite all these indications of a pitching future, Coombs missed the main line train with the As, and he spent 10 years on minorcircuit mounds with Syracuse, Birmingham, St. Paul, Shreveport and Jersey City. Bobby, a right-hander whose best pitch is a slider, is married and has a 11-year-old son. He will try to carve a starting niche out of the Giants’ mound squad that now includes CLff Melton, Carl Hubbell, Bill Lohrman, Johnny Wittig, Harry Feldman, Ace Adams, Yan Lingle Mungo, Bill Sayles, Kenneth Trinkle and Bill Boiselle.
