RUSSELL OF WHITE SOx WAS LUCKY TO GAIN
 CHANCE IN BIC LEAGUE

Chicago, May 14-Ofttimes the career of a budding baseball player hangs by a. thread
 One little turn of the wheel may send him back to oblivion or into the calcium of fame. Albert (Lefty) Rus sell of the White Sox. is a case iii point Today he looks like one Of the real finds among southpaws in recent years-he is certain or a thorough trial in The face of fire. Yet he came mighty near being shipped back to the bushes.
 Russell, who is called Tex or Reb.. because he came from Bonham in the Lone Star state, has had exactly one year of professional baseball experi- ence He wound up the season at Fort Worth in 1912, but was only there one month The rest of the year he played on the Bonham squad of the he was a eemi-pro, content to make his $1O or $15 per week.
 While in Texas several scouts heard of this big fellow who seemed to have lots of control but little besides that and a fast ball. Comiskey happened to get hold of him, and Tex reported for his tryout at Paso Robles late in February. It was his first trip out of Texas and he contracted la grippe on the tourney He was under the doc tors care for nearly a week at the training camp.
 This wasn't an especially good start for a green hand. Callahan and G1ea- son looked him over carefully and dis covered his curve was of the round house character-the kind that big league batters literally eat up. So Gleason set about to teach him the

difficult hook curve. Much to his sur prise Reb picked it up in single day. He was able to get a terrific break to the ball with the oyer-arm motion, but couldn't control it-as was nat uraI.
 Russell was shipped along with the Yannigan crowd and had exactly two trials in the month of travelling. The first was against a team at Redlands, Cal, and he won that game, striking out sixteen men. But he looked aw- fully green then, didn't field his posi- ton especially well and didn't use the hook at all. He depended entirely on his speed.
 In the meantime negotiations were under way to have him sent back to the minors when, by chance. Acting Manager Gleason of the Yannigans sent him against the San Francisco team. Reb shut out the Seals and held them down to five hits He had the hook working wonderfully well and showed big improvement in fielding the job.
 Gleason immediately wired on to Cal Iahan to withdraw waivers on the youngster: He seems to have the making of great pitcher,'' Gleason said.
 |, A couple of weeks ago Russell was given his first trial in the major leagues, working the last three inn ings against C1eve1andS The first man to face him was Lajoie. This was enough to scare any kid to death, but Russell was equal to the occasion. In short, he whiffed five men in three rounds, including Joe Jackson
 The following week he was sent in against Detroit to start the game. He lost by hard 1uck-but held the hard hitting squad to five hits He was cool, deliberate and worked like a vet eran Then St. Louis faced him and were held to two hits, losing without a chance in the world against the big fellow.
 Critics unite in claiming Russell looks like wonderful beginner. He has the build and endurance of Ed Walsh. He is confident one has to marvel at him. He has absolutely no bad habits. Tn fact, the only eri- ticisn that can be found with him is his greenness. But thatl1 soon wear off

NEW LONDON WINS
 II INNING GAME
Dick Tuckey and Reiger Have
 Great Pitchers Battle

New London, May 14-Gene McCanr brought his scrappy clan to town yes terday and they gave the Planters @ hard flight before they Succum bed tt by to 2. The New London team has been on the road for six days SC the return home was the signal for a fine outpouring of fans. The local papers have been boosting the Bridge port team for several days and the see fast game. They were not dis appointed. The teams went at ii hammer and tongs and 1t was toss up until the final out.
 Dick Tuckey, who has been taking rest because of a sore arm, made his first appearance on the mound in almost a week. He showed a great improvement over his previous efforts and would have won ordinary game. Although tapped for Il hits Tuclzey was good with men on bases and in spite of the roofing of the home crowd remained steady i'm times of danger. Dick famed eight and did not issue any passes.
 Reiger, who pitched for New Lon don and New Britain in the old Con nectfcut League days, was dn rare form for the Planters. The Mechan- fcs could get to him for only five hits but they made the most Of those. Jake Bou1tes and Bog Stow hit for doubles and Bingo Wallace grabbed a couple of singles. Dusty Phillips got the other safety.
 New London took the lead by get ting one in the first, but the Mechan- ics tied them in the fourth. In their half the Planters scored again and the Mechanics made it to in the sew enth. The home fans were pulling hard for a victory, but neither team could score in the eighth or ninth, so extra rounds were required. In the 11th Jake Boultes cracked Reiger for a. two bagger but was nabbed off sec oTld by g. quick throw from the pitch CT.
 In the final half of the 11th Tuclzey weakened and Briggs, Rock and Os- trfch singled, putting the winning run across NeaIon, Rock and Ostrich hit Tuckey hard. The same teams play sured.
 The score:
