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.

But Georgia will lie very strong I in the box next year, despite the l"ss of Brannen and Thompson. Rig Reddlngfield. the dark horse of the Tech series will be back, and he should make one of the best pitchers in the South next year.

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.

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 mon human error, namely, a ten dency to exaggerate the merits of the under dog. In a fight crowd particularly the hope of witness ing the unexpected sways the emo tions. and to attach wrong values is akin to traveling the lines of least resistance.

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.
