Russell, the famed alleged $4,000
lemon, pitched the best ball twirled
against the Tigers by any left-hander
this year, held the Tigers to seven
hits In the seven and two-third In
nings that the game had left 10 run,
and looked as II he was worth the
money which wasn't paid for his re-
lease.
This statement Ia made In view OF
the generally known but frequently
ignored fact that the $4,000 wasn't
In real money but was largely COM
prised of Pitchers Dygert and Wick
ers. and q choice bunch OF red, white
and blue trading stamps.

freak of the day was the weather
The game started In boiling heat and
bright sunshine. In the fourth inning
q thunderstorm approached Rain
began TO fall just as the Tiges, one
run to the good, were retiring the
Athletics for the inning that means

open stands scurried for shelter.
Everybody thought play would be

And then, all Of q sudden the rain
stopped and the sun came out again
