(By Wagner.)

Harvey Russell left for his home in Marshall Va, yesterday. The crack backstop hasn't seen his folks since last February. At that time he left home to join the New York Ameri- cans at their camp in Athens, Ga. then journeyed north with the squad. When the team reached New York, Russell was sent here. It was his first season in league ball. He was part of a crack battery of an lnde- pendent club in Hampton, Va, last season. Scout Arthur Irwin of the Yankees was tipped off and after looking Russell over. signed him. The fans are hoping Bridgeport can get Russell next season.
 Foot RueIl's regular first name is Ulrick. He formerly played football at Notre Dame University in Indiana and such experts as Leo McElroy, who attended the university at the time, say Foot could buck the line. He made a great football slide at the island Sunday when he ducked into the home plate in the sixth inning.
 Benny Kauff departed yesterday after buying supply of fine cut to last him on his journey. He stopped off at New York and went to see Manager Hal Chase of the Yankees.

 Darby 'O'Brien, last year with Hartford, saved the day for the Bos- ton Red Sox yesterday. After Cicotte had been knocked out of the box in the eighth, O'Brien went in and blank ed the Senator's O'Brien was farm ed out to Denver this season after being taken to Califorian by Boston. He proved to be the leading twirler of the Western league with record of 24 victories and five defeats.
 Mutt Waters, who won the game for Springfield Sunday, finished the season. with a batting average of .f94. That shows the folly of getting up. Waters had no more license to make two hits than Dixie Walker we uld have to make five home runs in one game. If Gibbs had better control he wouldn't have wasted so many balls on Waters and then it wouldn't have been necessary for him toSstick 'em right in the groove.
 Owner Clarkin of Hartford will realize a nice piece of change from the sale of High, Hickey and Rehg. High goes to the Giants, Hickey to Cleveland ana Reng 10 the Boston Red Sox. It is said that Clarkin re- ceived about $3,000 for the three men.
 The Philadelphia Nationals have released Catcher Jack. Kleinow and Pitcher Bob Ewing. The latter is a veteran pitcher who has done good work but with their fine staff of youngsters. Philadelphia didn't need Ewing. He was a high salaried man and his contract provided that he couldn't be farmed out so the Phillies let him go

them in Richmond on Oct H. | A Philadelphia pitcher says that to l the unusual success of Marty O'Toole
 in his first chances in the big league | is due the revival of the use of the
 splitter in the National League. This style of delivery was almost extinct 1 in the National League until O'Toole' s wonderful rise, and even some suc- cessful spitball pitchers who had aban- | doned this style of twirling are re- turning to the splitter. l Twirlers who gradually dropped the
 spitball entirely after the sudden de- cline of Jack Chesbro would probably | never have returned to the spitball had it not been for O'Toole's success, | he says.
 | Eddie Stack of the Phillies and | George Chalmers had practically given up the splitter until O'Toole became l famous. Both men took it up again, and Stacks effectiveness at present is | due to the spitball
 | Other Philly players are taking up l this style of delivery, which means l that Manager Dooin is going to have plenty of trouble behind the bat next summer.
 Toots Shultz is said to be using the l splitter almost entirely, while young Hall, the Phillies' recruit from the coast, is practicing with it daily on ] the PhiIlies' ground while the team is on the road. If the Cubs beat out the Giants for the National League pennant Chance declares he will play in the world series against the Athletics Accord ing to word from Chicago, Chance de- clares he is in good physical shape again and would play the bag rather than intrust it to youngster.
 
 Manager Clarke of the Pirates is of the opinion that Claude Hendrix will develop into a star next season. Clarke says Hendrix has advanced faster this year than any of his other young pitchers.
 Youth met age when Old Cy Young and Christy Mathewsen contested mound honors in that second Giant Boston session. yesterday, and as usual. youth won. With eight runs against Old Cy, he retired in the third inning. Matty, himself. was pulled out after he had won the game. The Giants need his arm and want to save it.
 Three times Old Cy looked idly on while the Giants made home runs off his delivery.
