SALE OF REB RUSSELL ADDS ANOTHER CHAPTER TO INTERESTING CAREER MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 81. —By The Associated Press—Pur- chase of Elwell A. ‘Reb’ Russell by the Pittsburgh National league club from the Minneapolis Ameriean as- sociation team recalls the interesting baseball career of the slugging Miller outfielder who in ten years rose to a major league star as a pitcher, pitched a world’s series, then after a reversal of form, became one of the hardest hitting players in the American association. His major league date from 1912 until 1919, when he was with the Chicago Ameridans, and for a time the White Sox leading pitcher. In his first year with the Sox, he won 22 games, losing but 16. The height of his career came in 1917 when he pitched in the world’s serles between the White Sox and the New York Giants. ‘The story of his rise to fame dates back ten years to 1913. ~ His ball playing began at Benham in northern Texas, in that year. Ho finished a sensational year with the Fort Worth club and was pur- ased by Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago team. The erstwhile ouchpaw pitching luminary was:23 s old then. Russell started out Uke a whirl- wind, experiencing an envious first year in the major leagues for a “push leaguer.” He continued with the White Sox until 1919, when he was released because of his inef- fectiveness. A trick of fate was responsible for his acquisition by the local team. During a road trip of the Minne- apolis aggregation, Manager Joe Cantillon was in desperate straits when he arrived in Indianapolis to play, because of the incapacttation of Rondeau, the veteran outfielder. ‘A player suggested he got ‘Heb’ Russell to fill in, it being explained that the former pitcher was working |, in a garage there after unavailing attempts to ‘come back” as a hurler for the Indianapolis team. Cantillon’s judgment in taking him was rewarded, for from the first day on, he has been the hardest hitter of the Millers, He has averaged more than .350'in batting every sea- son with the locals, His prowess as a home run hitter is known throtigh- out the baseball world. When he do- parted to Pittsburgh he nad'to his credit 17 home runs thus far this season. Russell ts not a youngster in the game, He was born March 13, 18) at Albany, Miss. Of big stature, weighing close to 200 pounds, he is nevertheless, one of the fastest men on bases In the league. peta me at the Smoke House. Meet By far the most perfect running form of the afternoon was displayed in the winning of the 2:28 trot by Ted- ay Jr., owned by D. L. McDonald. Re- maining in third position during the first three-fourths miie in both heats, he extended himself for the last quar- ter, and swept under the wire a winner by several lengths. Ruby H. owned by William Aldrich was second. Bill Nevitt Jr., of the stables of Jack Mc- Keown finished a poor third. A bad break near the finish deprived W. W. T., the fourth entry of first place in the second heat. He finished a poor fourth in both heats. Time 2:35. Excitement reigned in all three beats of the 240 trot, in which four fast thoroughbreds were entered, The race proper was won by Bert Coty, owned by A. McCouch, with Clara J. of the stables of William Aldrich, but one head behind in the final heat. B. H.

Time 57 seconds, Denny Moore, owned by C. E. Daw- fon, swept under the wire a winner in the one-fourth mile free-for-all. Al- though handicapped by an almost hopeless start, Peggy May, of the rac- ing stables of West McDowell, finished a close second, and would undoubtedly ‘have won, had the start been even./ Trixie, the other entry, bred by J. Mc-| Keown, was third with plenty to spare. Time 25 seconds. The last race, of one-half mile thor- eughbred event was won by King, owned by C. E. Dawson with First of May, by K. W.
