RUSSELL'S COMEBACK
IS HELPING PIRATES
TO MOVE UP IN RA CE
'Fermer Chicago Pitcher, in Clean-up Position, Has Been
, Hitting Ball Savagely in Series With Giants Has
I Had Peculiar Career in Baseball Rettig Flivvers
fiTJER nUSBHLL could always hit. I htiTc known him te go up In a pinch
JtV and clout the lioi-Kehldc when the best hlttcrq en the club were fulling.
I cannot understand why the White Sex gave him his walking papers." One
of the ecribes traveling with the Cubs was discussing with the writer the new
National League sensation, Hiwell A. llusell, one of the beit pitchers In the
American League several yenrs age and new making n brilliant comeback with
1 the Pirates.
"If I remember tightly, Riisell wn used te run for some one en the
team whenever there was need for speed en the bases. Come te think of It,
he was the fastest man en the White Sex team," continued the cribe.
"All of n sudden his arm went bad nnd the White Sex gave him his
ncomlltIen.il release. Te all intents and purposes Itusvell's career as n big
league player was ever. He could barely lob the ball up te the plate. He had
none of the old -time speed that made him a terror te batters in the American
League, while his curve ball was virtually nil. He was deemed as a pitcher
and Ceml-key knew It.
"The strange part of It nil is the fact that lteb 'Jgurrd that, while his
pitching days were ever, he could still swat the ball. He remained out of the
game for some time, nnd after playing around with several let teams found
he could hit all kinds of pitching and cover no end of ground In the outfield.
"After tejing around with the independents, Russell asked Jee Cantllllen,
of Minneapolis, for a chance te show what he had left. The veteran told Rcb
te get into the outfield and chae the pellets during practice. Several times
he gave the former twlrler n chance te hit the Ball. What he did with tha
herschlde became n matter of general talk.
"Shortly after that he was given a chance In the outfield and made geed
from the start. His terrific hitting and ability te snare flies, no matter where
they were hit, made him a valuable addition te the association team. Trem a
has-been' he seen developed Inte one of the hardest hitters In the league and
ne of the most brillian outer gardeners. His future was assured.
(ft AST year he proved te the eerli as has Jee Weed, of Cleveland,
Mj that e pitcher can hit by smacking all kinds of hurling in the
aisocialien, tchere they have a number of veterans, icith Ms of cun
ning, for an average of ,3ti8. Bill McKcchnie, note the manager of
the Pirates, played en the same team with Russell and kntte his
tcerth."
Savage Hitting Has Helped Pirates
WHEN the former Pirate was called te assist Gibsen with the Pirates thla
year he mere than once asked that Russell bs brought te the team. Until
Olbbie resigned the last day of June Russell was often thought of, but nerer
considered as being geed eneugn for the team.
Last week McKechnle completed the deal that brought the former pitcher
te the Pirates and since '.bat time he has been little short of a .enBatlen.
last Wednesday Russell started his major-league career ever again by banging
ut'a triple which scored a couple of runs.
Thursday he was out of the line-up, and en Friday It rained. Saturday
he hit New Yerk pitching for n home run and two tingles. Bunday he had a
homer and a single nnd yesterday a pair of singles. In ether werda, ha has
hit safely te date In every game played with the Buca, getting two homers, a
trlple nnd five singles. This might be considered te be a brilliant debut after
an absence of two years from the smart set.
Russell's home-run hitting Is net entirely unexpected. Last year with
Minneapolis he had thirty-three circuit clouts, which Is considered Babe-Ruth
bitting in the American Association. In addition, h had thlrty-flve doubles
and eighteen triples.
v With Russell In the line-up as clean-up man the Pirates are strengthened
considerably. New Yerk scribes are giving "Reh" the major part of the
credit for the three straight victories scored ever their favorites in the present
erles, Net only is he hitting the ball with all the vigor of a Slsler or a Oebb,
but he Is also hitting It as timely aB any of the best swatters In either league.
If he continues Pittsburgh is certain te get up higher in the race.
The Pirates were In second place the first week in June and dropped during
the next three wet'ks te sixth. Today they are In fifth, just nine and a half
gacWtback of first place. With the fact In their memories that the Giants
captured the championship when tbey (the Pirates) had an eight-game lead
late In August of last year, the rehabilitated Bucs might even yet get up far
neugh in the race te be considered serious contenders.
McKECWSlE, the Pirate manager, is net through ly any means.
Last year tcith Minneapolis he hit the old apple for an average
of ,S28, playintj third base as cell ci he dtd xrhen he started many
years age, McKechnie is a former WMinsburg High Scheel star and
has spent most of nil life in and around Pittsburgh, where he is im
mensely popular icith the fans.
Dark Day for All Getham
JESS AND VIRGIL BARNES, brothers by relationship and pitchers by
profession, proved easy for the Pirates In the third game of the series.
Russell and his mates hammered the pair for a total of sixteen hits In seven
Innings and added another pair off Jonnard In the last two frames.
Seven successive bits were med off the jeunger Barnes meaning Virgil
In the sixth inning, when the Hues made a quintet of markers. The elder
BarneB lest much of his effectiveness after the second Inning, when he was
hit in the groin by a line drive from tin- bludgeon of Hamilton.
The veteran Pittsburgh pitcher held the Giants ut bay throughout the
game, being particularly effective after the first inning Three of the seven
hits made off his delivery were garnered by Youth Cunnlnghum, who is work
ing In center in place of Casey Stengel. In addition, Hamilton had a pair of
singles thnt figured In the run-getting for the Pirates.
The victory brought the Cards, who defeated the Dodgers, when Sheidell
turned In his thirteenth triumph of the ttasun, te within a little eier a bulf
game from the pace-setting Giants. The St. Leulsans made but nine hits off
a quartet of Brooklyn pitchers, but each safety counted Schultz made a
home run that helped considerably In the triumph

" Vhailey Robertsen, the "perfect game" pitcher, had much the better of
a hurling duel with Beb Shawkej, although he allowed one mere hit than the
TCtcran. Six and five hits were registered b. the two teams. Shawkey was In
rare form In all but the sixth lnnlns, when the Set hunched four of their fhe
hits for victory. A triple by Mulligan, singles bv Heeper and Cellins nnd a
triple by Ames Strunk, who is taking en u new lease en life, spelled three
runs, enough te win.

AS IN most ul its games tnis season tlie ISrewns rallied te victory, storing

men en bases and was netcr In danger after the fourth frame. In addition te
Willinms, Johnny Tobin hit a circuit Miiash.
While St. Leuis was going wild nnd New Yerk bemoaning its fate, this
City of Brotherly Leve was much affected by reverses suffered by the Phils
and the A's. There was one consolation In the rout of the Wllhelniites. Cliff

According te a number of old-timers, this Is a major league record for
circuit swatting. Neither Ruth, Hornsby nor Cravath has reached this
mark. The homer yesterday was Lee'H thirteenth of the season, which pluces
him but four behind Cy Williams, who hit his seventeenth in the sixth Inning.
"Butch" Henllne also made a homer, his coming In the ninth, following

The championship of Whitemersli

doubt. J. Weed Piatt and Nerman II,
Maxwell hnc battered their way
through the tournament, Maxwell get
ting Inte the final by eliminating thnt
steady golfing paiagen, Leu Demlng.
J But the final match still hangs in nbey-

IcIeux glnnees off the principals.

a while. However, his period of absti

classic Platt-MnxwcU duel will be ex
hibited te the gaping Valley fans.
Maxwell himself Is net in any tee
geed condition, though his golf In the
last few weeks has been sensational.
At the Green Valley tournament his
first thirty-six holes were run off with
the skill of n master. Then he was se
fatigued that he had te withdraw,
though he appeared te be a certain
winner.

His record-breaking feat of going
ever the Gulph Mills course In i in
dicated that he was at the top of his
game. That was an eighteen-hele test,
and at the short distance Nerman is
almost unbeatable by the amateurs of
Philadelphia. But thirty-six In a day
steps him. ne showed this again In
the St. Martins Cup battle, when,
after turning In the low medal for the
qualifying round, he went utterly te
pieces and was eliminated.
A battle between Piatt and Maxwell
erer their home links should be one
well worth watching. Beth men knew
every angle of the course, its water,
traps and pimples, and, better yet,
knew hew te negotiate them in classic
style.

old and rickety te swing the niblick.
The Best Amateur
Philadelphia need net bow her head
when the amateur class of the country
Is reckoned up. In this district are a
splendid group of playera, but we
haven't the best of them all located
here.
Almest every professional agrees that
the finest amateur player this country
has produced is twenty-year-old Bebby
Jenes. Bebby finished only a step be
hind Gene Sarazen in the national open,
and with a bit of luck or n bit mere
control of his temper might have wen

Italian-American new wears be becom
ingly. Jenes is letter-perfect In form. Ne
Dlaver. amateur or professional, cun
teach him anything in the mntter of
stvle. He draws the head of his club
all the way back, but se perfect Is the
"groove" of his swing that it Is very,
vi ry beldem that his drive is wild. Be
sides that, his short game is all that
can be desired end his putting something
that mere than duffers dream about.
His single flaw in the pat has been
a temper that has net alwujs been
under control. There was excuse In
plentv for that. He is jeung nnd im-mess-iennble
and jeutli never 1ms thit
severe control of nerve foiee that comes
with the jeiirs. But Bebbv is arriving
at the age of discretion.

G RAT'S FCRRY, always boasting of

Fer a number et years the names of

First there was Bill Hamilton, wel

new there is Wally Hinckle, welter

JUDGE LANDIS Is In for a srrap In the West. Ills effort te oust ,
William Klepper, owner of the Portland Club, lias met with oppesl- '
tlen. J. Cal Ening, the Oakland owner, Is going te take It te court If
necessary. Ewlng contends that Landls cannot legally ferce a man te
turn his business ever te anetlier. '
Ferm Versus Natural Style t
rpiIK "fermlst" in sports is like the language purist. Although Impressive,;
J- he Is net always the most ferceiui. ,
The vernacular very often is mere fitting and forceful than pure English
and the athlete who fellows form frequently Is beaten by the unorthodox ptr-i
former.
Brookes, the Australian, was probably the most noted unorthodox tennli
players and also one of the best the game has ever produced ; Tendler, a south
paw, 1b a near champion ; Greb, a titleheldcr, Is known ns a clown boxer becauM
he falls te fellow accepted style; Mays Is a great pitcher and he throws an ,
underhand ball. Examples can be found in every sport. '
And then there is Hoever, who doesn't knew anything about style and yet
is a world's champion sculler. Hoever cares nothing for form. He gets In his
shell and just rows, and what Is mere wins !
An English critic said, after the Diamond Sculls, that Hoever wen In spite a
of his style nnd net because of It. Here Is a paragraph from the criticism :
"A greater contrast te orthodox methods than Mr. Hoever's has never bn'
seen In a winner of the Diamonds. The American must be extraordinarily strong
and has no doubt developed by continuous prnctlec different muscles from tbeie
In common use. Ne ordinary human arms could withstand the finish he prefers." .
Hoever uses his natural Btyle. An effort te fellow form probably would,
ruin him. ' '
Other things being equal, the athlete with the form should win, but 'hv
doesn't always. t '
WILLIE HOPPE has come out of retirement arid will make another
bid for the 18.2 balk-line championship. Unless Willie has gene
back considerably, his bid will be a strong one.
