SOME one KIDS
SPORTING EDIT.
Stars and Stripes, A. E. F.
Paper. Has Story Of Rus
sell Being Wounded.

Baltimore. July n. = Evidently
someone put one over on the SPORT
ing editor of the Stars and Stripes,
for the last edition of the paper
which chronicles the doings of our
boys 'over there" had the following
writeup:
All baseball fans remember Lefty
Russell. who twirled for the New
York Yanks several years ago. Well,
Lefty Is hors de combat Just now
as a result of getting beaned by a
German bullet while taking part in
an American attack in Lorraine re-
Gently. He was going over the top
at the time.
With his head copiously bandaged,
Lefty Is confined to one of the Red
Cross hospitals in the Paris area.
He is able to be about, however, and
is anxiously awaiting the time when
he win be reported At for another
front-line crack at the Hun.
Russell twirled with success for
the Yanks three years ago, but a
broken arm put him out of commits
sion for several months. Two years
ago he was transferred to the New
ark team. where he played first base
until he enlisted about eight months
ago.
Another former Yankee player,
Bill Rafter. who covered an out
field position two years ago. is over
here doing his bit. Billy IL driving
an ambulance in the Toul sector and
will have many interesting yarns to
spill when he gets back home.
Harry Courtney. with the Newark
Feds for two seasons, Is an ambu-
lance and canton driver for the Red
Cross. When in Paris he twirls for
the Red Cross team.
Cranston. who acted as understudy
for Stuffy McInnes with Connie
Mack's club Is a member of an en-
gineering regiment company and is
right up In the thick of the fray.
Soon an all-star nine will be In
the making over here.
Possibly somebody Is impersonat-
ing Lefty over on the other side.
Lefty was not a Yankee, but he was
sold to Connie Mack of the Athletics
by Manager Dunn of the Birds. Rus
sell is at present on the base ball
team of Sparrows Point.

Juarez. Mex, July 21.-The $780,
900 racing plant which was built
here nine years ago by Matt ].
winn. Of Louisville, KY. and sew
eral other influential American turf
men, is now simply a monument to
an at-one-time successful sporting
enterprise. Although the big plant

day celebrations. the entire infield

borers. who now use the big pumps
that supplied the stables and other
with water in former
years simply to irrigate the soil
they till.
When the Mexican revolution
started racing was interrupted and
finally abandoned on account Of the
inability OF the track patrons and
ethers interested to obtain pass
ports from the American side.

1t was easily evident yesterday that
nothing official would develop in the
league prior to the separate meeting
of the American and National League
directors. President johnson at
tempted to force a decision among the
directors on the advisability of i'm
mediately terminating the season but
conflicting opinions make 1t obvious
that no more than an unofficial dis
agreement could be reached through
the telegraph wires.
In consequence of the hopes that
the baseball world have in this con-
ference of Baker and Crowder today
the eyes of sportdom will now be
turned towards Washington instead of
Cley yelan1. If a favorable decision
is made there will be nothing to the
meeting at the Hollender Hotel In the
sixth city as the issue will be decided.
Should this conference go against the
league. Cleveland will first know of
the disbandment of the American
League. No doubt the Scott Perry
case which has caused a little war
between the National and American
leagues will come up for hearing at
