INJURIES TO RUSSELL AND RAY
SCHALK BLOWS TO SOx
BY Shields

lHluIlGS u EbgBGi NuSSGll oild nay
SchaIk, though the athletes wiz be
but temporarily out of the game,
may have a serious effect on the
chances of the South Siders to fin
ish at the pinnacle of the American
league race.
Russell has a twisted ankle that is
not serious in its physical aspects,
but it may take week for the
leagues leading southpaW to become
strong in the damaged runner. The
White Sox have 16 more games to
play and Russell was counted on to
pitch about five of these and act as
rescuer or relief man in probably as
many more. =
Injured at this time, Russell will
undoubtedly be out of the Washing
ton and Boston series. He was being
figured to pitch today in the opener
against the Nationals and has been
effective all season against the world
champions.
This puts the tWirling burden up
to Faber, williams and Benz or Dam
forth and CicOtte, with WOfgang do
ing the rescue act. None Of these
fellows possess the iron man attTi-
butes Of the left-handed Texan.
Schalk's injury is a split nail on
the index finger of his right hand.
The duration Of his conValescence
has not been determined If the nail
is lost Ray may be out for the re-
mainder of the season. Trainer
Buckner believes Ray will be in
shape within a very few days.
But the little catcher will also be
lost for the two games with Wash
ington and probably for the set with
Boston. He is badly needed in both
engagements, especially with Wash
ington, for Griffith has some speed
merchants that may make trouble
for Jack Lapp's arm.

is claimed that unless provision is
presently made for q freer movement
of Western freight toward the East
the scarcity of supplies east of the
Alleghenies will presently find redec-
ton IN Increases of prices that will
cause 4 huge hubbub
The railroads and the commission
seem about equally anxious to handle
the situation without giving Congress
an excuse to get excited. On neither
side is there any desire that a lot of
new and experimental power shall be
conferred on the commission in the
matter OF regulating physical opera
tion Of the roads.
While it is recognized that this is
likely to come before many years,
there is a general desire that the cX-
pertinent shall not be undertaken in
such abnormal times as the present
when it might add to the difficulties
instead of decreasing them.
