by other twirlers-if it is-unless

be a successful pitcher. If l have

Boston Red Sox are a wonde fui
collection of baseball players. who
know how to play on the diamond

railroads presented the greatest.
Mr.. Russell recited as his personal
experience that several times when

towns, the trains which should have
carried him there left ahead of time
so that he would miss them and
thereby fail to keep his engagement.
1t was before the days of automobiles
and the speakers finally had to re-
sort to horse and buggy.
Mr.. Russell spoke in the highest
terms of the Wisconsin railroad and
warehouse commission, La Toilette
product, which he says has done ex-
cellent work in the equalization of
railroad rates. Before the commits
sion was formed" said Mr.. Russell.
