LEFTY RUSSELL
ILBESENTTO
(TLmiTEJM
IEFTY RUSSELL, the man
who cost Connie Mack $12,-
000. a good thousand round
iron men more than Marquard
brought and the record price up to
the time of the O’Toole deal, will
probably join the Atlanta. team
within a tew days Connie Mack
has promised the man to Manager
Hemphill and will soon be able to
deliver. All that stands in the way
now is a mere matter of waivers.
Russell ought to be a real, won
der with the Crackers. He is a typ
ical wild southpaw, but he “has
more” than perhaps any other
pitcher in baseball. Connie Mack
has no notion of turning him loose,
but he believes that a season of
coaching under Hemphill will
steady him down. He put the
thing up to “Hemp.” and the local
manager agreed to take him and
work with him
Mack got Russell fr-mt Baltimore.
In a recent magazine article Mack
apologized for paying as much as
he did for the man, but said that
he saw him pitch two such marvel
lous games that he couldn’t resist
the temptation.

Johnsons sparring partners are Mar

of the week. Johnson looks tit. al

that he will win.
Tommy Ryan. Flynn's trainer, ar

FINAL DECREE
f ■
Nashville, tenn„ May 27.
Although Attorney General
Anderson had attached his
signature to an agreed decree that
would have vacated the receiver
ship of the Nashville baseball club
and modify the former decree of
Chancellor Allison so as to permit
the club to play week-day games
only. Chancellor Allison this morn
ing overruled the application for
the modified order in the case and
instead put down a decree that
more fully defined the position of
the court in holding that the club
had forfeited all of Its rights, pow
ers and privileges in playing Sun
day ball in Nashville.
Immediately following the action
of the court, the baseball associa
tion directors held a hurried con
sultation and placed themselves in
the hands of President Kavanaugh
communicating with that official
and informing him that the club
was still outlawed by the chancel
lor.
It was thought that a new char
ter would be applied for to operate
under a different organization, but
pending the action of the president
of the Southern league, no further
steps will be taken. It is believed
the franchise will go to Little
Rock.
Both New Orleans and Nashville
are here ready for the series sched
uled beginning with today, but in
view of tlie deal handed out by
Chancellor Allison, no preparations
are being made for the games.
President Kavanaugh, following
the decision of Chancellor. Allison
in the baseball club ease this morn
ing, wired Dan E. McGugin. attor
ney, politician and Vanderbilt foot
ball coach, to take over the club,
and McGugin will probably do this
by consent of the court
1 Kavanaugh acted, he says, to pre
vent other cities from buying the
1 franchise.
If McGugin gets the court's con
sent. he will continue the sched
ule, without Sunday playing.

Ad Wolgast Made Mistake in
Getting Into Harness Too Soon
By W. W. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.—A1l
that Willie Ritchie, the San
Francisco lightweight pos
sesses in the way of prestige is due,
directly or indirectly, to Champion
Ad Wolgast. It was through Wol
gast being taken down with appen
dicitis that Ritchie was sent for in
a hurry to box Freddie Welsh at
Los Angeles. Prior to that time
Willie was a plain, ordinary four
round specialist at the Friday night
shows in this city.
As Molgast's understudy, he per
formed so well against Welsh that
his star began to ascend. He went
East and commanded matches. He
did so well that he came to be
looked upon as a good, serviceable
lightweight.
There is scarcely any need to re
call how Ritchie acquitted himself
in his recent short bout with Wol
gast. He did so extremely well
that those who witnessed the bout
considered Wolgast a lucky boy to
escape with his laurels intact.
When anything sensational like
that occurs, people at a distance are
Inclined to give full weight to the
glowing accounts that emanate
from the seat of the disturbance.
Allowance is made for a very com

dency to exaggerate the merits of

particularly the hope of witness

pion of the world had a remark
ably close call.
The thing to be avoided is the
making of a wrong analysis of
Wolgast’s showing —that Is. so far
as it appears to indicate or sug
gest a permanent loss of fighting
strength or talent. Wolgast was
evidently distressed after a seem
ingly light bumping match with
Ritchie, so much so that the
chances are his work during the re
mainder of the bout was influenced.
Wolgast said that the wrench re
vived an old injury to his back,
sustained in a contest some years
ago
A great many when they heard
this murmured “that's all fiddle
sticks!" The operation he under
went has left a weak spot and
that is why he hurt himself when
he slid up on Ritchie's shoulders.
A year ago he would not have
minded a little bump like that.
His ruggedness is impaired and his
championship days are over.
Ad still insists, however, that it
was his back that w as twisted, and
says there w-as nothing at any stage
of the contest to remind him that
he had ever been knifed for appen
dicitis.
It may be as he says, and in any
case there is no harm in waiting
for further light on the subject, if
it was merely a twist of the back
that Wolgast suffered from, he
would soon be in harness again.
If it was some physical flaw trace
able to the operation, we can ex
pect to hear of some of his ring
contracts being canceled.
Whatever it was, it must be said
that Wolgast was ill-advised in
getting back into harness so soon.
