Do keep Altrock OF the field and they

Now that he Is eligible once more,
Altrock may soon be seen In the box
for the Climbers. The veteran has been
training hard since New Year and Ii
IN good shape. Furthermore, he has
been pestering his manager with re-
quests to be used in a regular game and
the Old Fox will probably use him
against some of the Western clubs in
Washington.

CATCHERSDREADED
PITCHER RUSSELL

Now that everybody around the coun-
try is discussing the life and battles OF
Reb Russell. recruit Sox pitcher. here
is little fodder TO the fire.
Reb didn't get a fair shake when he
was pitching for the Bonham squad, OF
the Texas Oklahoma League. last sea-
son. This may seem radiCal-not to
say revolutionary-stat The rea-
son Russell was held in the back ground

scout. who was down in Texas looking
over available material last summer.
1t seems that Bonham had n colleC-
ton of semi-dub catChers. They did

dreaded 10 work behind the plate when
Reb was pitching. Russell had as much
smoke on the ball then as he has now
(which is saying a whole lott. Reb has
tendency to fool batters by pitching
low. making them break close to the
ground.
OF course. this made it hard for mex
perienced catChers to hold him. They
would be charged up with lots Of

bases. Then Lapp was hit by a pitched
oaIl,. forcing the first run across. An
infield out let the other one in. When
ever the game Is even between these
two teams, the Mackmen get the
breaks and frequently they are
enough to win. as Yesterday shows.
Largely because tie pitchers failed
to hold them closely to frs base, che
Climbers stole four sacks in that second
game. This Is a fault with most young
pitchers and with a number of veterans.
The catchers are usually blamed by the
fans for not getting the runners. but
usually II Is the fault of the pitchers.
Both Schang and Laop can peg to bases
on a line and yet they were made 10
look foolish b. the bush pitchers.

the Griffmen will leave this city at
$50 o'clock for the Capital. IL they fail
to get that train. they will leave At

in order at the Florida avenue baliwick
Thursday and Manager Griffith ex-
poets his stickwork to improve from
then on. Lack of practice more than
anything else has brought OF the hit-

passed balls and errors. not to mention
getting the pellet on their bare hands
now and then.
So they started panning him.
"Oh. that big stiff hasn't anything,
they would argue when the manager
suggested that Russell pitch that day.
The real reason was they had the day
lights scared out of them
The result was Russell didn't work
many Games-not nearly as many as he
deserved to pitch. The big fellow had
more stuff-twice as much-as any other
twirler in the league. He practically
had the opposition beaten the moment
he stepped into the box. His control
was perfect Dust as II is today. and
his slow ball was an added baffer.
Now he is working with real Catchers.
He seems like another Ed Walsh in
strength and endurance. Comiskey
could afford to keep him just for relief
work. even II he didn't intend to have
him work every fourth day or so. be-
cause his wonderful control. speed. and
courage make him a dangerous man to
go in during a pinch.

You may not
care how long it
takes to get a
suit of clothes il
it's right when

you get it; the trouble is,
the suit you wait two
weeks for isn't any more
likely to be right than the
one you buy ready and
wear home; or get the
next day. Then there do
come times, occasionally,
when you need a suit or
overcoat quickly; time-sav-
ing is important then.
This advantage in time
required is only one of the
reasons for buying ready
clothes instead OF made-to-
measure; another advantage
is that for SIS you'll get as
good value as the average
made-to-measure at $40 or
more. Thereasons for buy
ing ours, of all the ready
clothes you could buy, are
