FOUR STAR PLAYERS NOT FOR SALE.

If wise fan you would be, make a
couple of mental reservations and grin
broadly when you hear report of the
sale of Walter Johnson, Ty Cobb, Gro
yer Alexander or George Sisler.
The idea comes from report that
Washington waseabout to sell Johnson.
Fact is, these four men are unbuy-
able. Even at the present monumental
prices for good ball players, practically
all figures would be too small to re-
move one of these men from the club
with which he is affiliated.
This is not alone on account of their
wonderful playing, but more, perhaps,
on account of their drawing power.
Cobb's Drawing Power.
When Detroit is playing anywhere
around the circuit the fan goes primar-
lily to see Cobb in action, secondly to
see the game. In Detroit Cobb's draw
ing power is inestimable. For that rea-
son Cobb probably will never be put
on the market, even though he should
slip badly, for so long as he is able to
put on a uniform and appear on the
field he will be drawing card.
The same holds with Johnson, Alex
ander and Sisler.

Washington is poor drawing club,
but receipts are boosted about 100 per
cent when Johnson is slated to pitch.
1t is not likely Johnson would be sold
when he draws as much as the rest OF
the club combined.
other Stars.
There have been few in baseball In
this category. Mathewson was one. AS
long as Matty could toe the slab there
was no chance of his being sold at any
figure.
The status of the club makes great
deal of difference in cases of this kind.
For instance, Speaker was sold by the
Boston Red Sox. While Speaker was
undoubtedly the star of the club, there
were several others not far behind him
and the club could afford to take a
chance on selling him for the price
paid and depend on other stars to
make the fans forget.
The breaking up of the Athletics was
another example. Never a popular
team, Mack found his attendance slip
ping to a point where he could better
afford to dispense with his high-sal-
aried players and build up a new or
ganiZation.

ENTER GOLD FINGERS
Russell of Yankees Victim of a
New AiIment.
Exposes Bare Hand to Hard-Hit Ball
and Contracts Frigidity of Digets-
Numbness Forces Him
From Mound

Don't use your meat hand to stop
hard-hit balls that are batted back at
you. If you do you may put an end
to your pitching career.
This is the advice Allan Russell,
Yankee spitbaner, has to offer brother
members of the pitching fraternity,
and it is well worth consideration.
Early last spring Russell reached
for hard-hit ball through the box
with his nude fiipper. He got his
hand on the ball and succeeded in
retarding its progress. but immedi-
ately afterwards he suffered a sharp
pain in the first two digits of his,
pitching hook. which was followed by
numbness. Then his hand grew cold
and he had to retire from the game.
Since that time Russell has suffered
with new ailment-that of cold fin
gers. 1t only comes upon him at in
tervals, but at such times he is I'M
able to grip the ball, and therefore
unable to control it, so he often has
to leave the mound.
Sore arms, due to a cold, are COM
mon with pitchers. The sprained
tendon, wrenched shoulder and the
unexplainable loss of speed and con-
troll at intervals is also common. But
cold fingers and a numb pitching hand
Is new ailment.
One day at Chicago Bill Donovan
sent Russell to the mound to hurl
against the White Sox. 1t was no.
ticed that before delivering the ball
the Yankee pitcher rubbed his fingers,
just as any player may do in unusu-
ally cold weather. Questioned after
the game, Russell explained that the
index and second fingers of his pitch
ing hand had grown numb and cold,
and at the time, several hours after
the game, the fingers were still chilled.
When Bill Donovan heard of Rus
sells trouble he decided to send him
to a specialist, and as soon as the
Yanks returned to New York the spit
baller was carted off to sawbones
for an examination. The surgeon,
after examining the hand and question:
ing Russell, decided that circulation
in the hand was impaired because of
an internal bruiSe, and started treat
ment which he believes will eventually
bring relief by eliminating the cause.
