RECRUIT RUSSELL
 TWIRLS FINE BALL
 FOR YANKEE TEAM

New York. Sept. 18-A11en Russell, lately of the Richmond Club of the International league. stood the Chi cago White Sox on their heads at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon and the Tanks won their second straight game from Rowland's tribe by 3 to 2.
 Russell, a brother to Lefty Rus sell, who cost Connie Mack $11, 900 and then failed to make good, held, the White Sox to half dozen bing1es and wound up the pastime in a blaze of glory by flaming both J. Collins and Eddie Collins with a player perched on second and another on first in the ninth inning.
 Russell showed that he has all the earmarks Of a first class big league hurIer by the able maner in which he handled himself in the pfnches. The youngster became a trife un- steady in the final round, and for a few minutes it appeared as if he was going to '-blow'' the game.
 One big inning again spelled vic tory for the Tanks. The sox got away to onte run lead and enjoyed this advantage until the fourth, when the Tanks fell upon Scott and pasted him for enough runs to win the game.

 Chicago Is Defeated

Chicago, Sept. 18-The Robins, taking a, decisive lead in the third tworound of yesterdays struggle. won, Ito 5 Smith lasted until the eighth, when two hits and a costly boot by O'Mara and a wild throw by Getz gave the Cubs two markers with two men on and only a base hit required to tie up the game. Fucker was called and stopped the Cubs with his slow ball. Lavender was knocked all over the lot in the third. The Robins punched five hits and, assisted by a, walk, a boot and a passed ball, gathered five counts.
 The pastime of umpire-baiting was pushed aggressiHe1y. Byron was in suited for his opinions strikes, and Orth was hooted for ten minutes for decisions on the bags. McLarry, rest ing on the bench was chased to the shower Zimmerman, who was sus- pended for three days for a clash with Umpire Eason,f was informed today by President Tener that the suspen- sion would be indefinite.

Say Crawford Would Break Record If He
 Played in Philadelphia

< s.If Sam Crawford played with the Phillies he'd smash all existing re- cords for home runs per season. as serts an enthusiastic supporter of Wa hoo.
 Crawford is a terrific hitter, but most of the right fields/in the Ameri- can league are very deep and it's a difficult trick to put the ball over the outfielders head. But the. right field in the Phillies park is the shortest in the country and I'd like to make a bet that Crawford, playing seventy seven. games per year on, that field would put the ball over the fence at least fifty times
 Wei, now, if the Tigers and Phillies should mix it up in the world series old Wahoo would have a chance to demonstrate.

Two i'm portant shifts were made in the first team Last years freshman centre, ! Wiggfn, was in the middle of the line, while Parson, a, varsity tackle last year, was in his regular place on the left wing. Parsons return to his po- sition caused the coaches Sto send Dad4 nun, heavy player from Tufts Col 1ege, back to the second Varsity line up <
 Percy Haughton prevailed upon Leo Leary to come out to help coach the ends but Leary, who has produced so many good ends during the past six years for Harvard, said his pres ence had no significance, as he will be unable to be a regular staff coach this fall

 Harvard is evidently going to play more open game this year. Joe Pipa1. coach at. Occidental college. Cal ifornia, coached the Crimson squad in passing yesterday Although Harvard has not made a speciality of foFward passing the Cambridge boysH have been able to put them over when necessary.

PUZZLES
 DETROIT LETTERS AND BOSTON GAINS

Boston, Sept. 18.-The Red Sox ec- centric south paw. Dutch" Leonard, essaye1 the role of Tiger tanner yester- day afternoon with unqualified sue cess. While the Swz were banishing Bill James with their seven runs in the first four innings of the game Leonard had the fiery Tigers eating out of his hand and behaving with the same doci1ity the Red Sox did Thurs dav during the advent of the slow ball pitcher Dauss-
 Up to the ninth inning a dinky bunt scratch hit by Witt in the fifth was the only safety registered by Detroit The Sox finally won, ' to 2, the Tigers runs coming just at the end of the bat tie, when Leonard hit Witt, who scanl- pered around the circuit ahead of ''Ty'' Cobb. who pounded the ball into the right field bleachers for a home run.
 This c1out of '"Ty's'' was the third that ever has been driven into that section of field, Cobb making sim liar wallop in 1912 shortly after Fen way Park was opened. and Ruth of the Red -Sox producing a like home run a few weeks ago. A crowd of more than 10000 trooped to the park.
 Yesterday afternoon when Cobb came on to the field a few of the rooters began to f'boo'' him, but iIn- mediately the other thousands began to clap their hands. and Cobb doffed his cap.~ All through the. game the impartial element among the fans drowned any attempt to ride" Cobb, who had little to do, and was never in real evidence until his home run at the very end of the matinee Hughey Jennings looked over Bill James and Coveleskie before the game, and final 1y chose the former. Bill, however, had little with which to bother the Red Sox, and was wild besides.
