RUSSELL A H0LO-0UT
ATHLETICS YOUNG PITCHER
REFUSES MACK'S CONTRACT.
When Paper Is rendered to $4,000
Beauty He Refuses to Afix
His Signature.
'ial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 4.-The To-
cal base ball world has been set agog
anew by a persistent rumor to the effect
that Lefty Russell, the famous twelve
thousand-dollar beauty whom Manager
Dunn sent to Connie Mack. was holding
out for more money in the American
League Whether or not such is the case
it is a fact that the local boy refused to
afix his signature to a contract to pitch
for the Athletics next year when the OPP
portunity was afforded last Saturday.
Lefty went to Philadelphia to pitch his
first big league game and before the con-
test Connie Mack came up to him with
a contract, asking him to sign it. Rus
sell glanced over the paper. taking in all
the details, and then shook his head.
1t is reported that the cause for his
refusal to sign the paper was the fact
that the contract called for a salary Of
only 2.1GO a year. If such Is the case it
is no wonder that the clever young
southpaw turned up his nose at the offer.
While none of the salaries paid to the
local players are ever made public, un-
less by the consent of the players them
selves, it is we'll known fact that Man.
ager Dunn is one of the most generous
Of managers, and it is highly probable
that Lefty Russell tucked that amount at
least away during the past year when he
twirled for the Orioles.
When seen last night Lefty refused to
discuss the matter other than to state that
ne had not signed the contract and had no
intention of doing so until next spring.
Russell refused to disclose the salary
which Connie Mack had offered him. and
would neither confirm nor deny the story
One thing is certain. If Connie Mack
has offered Lefty the salary that rumor
places 1t at he is making big mistake.
AT the game last Saturday were 1900
that places the number of these drawn
by the announcement that Lefty was u
pitch at 5000 Right there Mack had
enough money to pay Lefty's salary for
one year. Russell is very quick bright
young fellow. and in addition to that he
is Independent. If Connie Mack doesn't
offer him what he wants it is probable
that he would cut loose from base ball II
he refuses to sign up after he has been
sold TO the Athletics he will, according
to the rules of organized base ball, be
blacklisted.
Russell will remain in this city this
winter and engage in some sort of work
TO keep from being idle. He intends to
see the worlds championship series in
Philadelphia and Chicago, and it is very
probable that Connie Mack, after seeing
how determined Lefty is. may make him
a more lucrative offer, which will be &C.
cepted on the spot.
Russell said last night: 81 talked for
some time with Connie Mack before the
game Saturday. He wants me to sign up
this fall so that he can use me in the
exhibition games next spring. The Atll-
ietic manager said that he wants TO get
q line on my general work before he
makes me a permanent offer, and as
show him what / can do my salary will
increase.
