"Reb" Russell.

Russell, former White Sox pitcher and
now stellar outfelder for the Millers.
The story Of his rise to fame, with
its subsequent loss and recovery, dates
back to 1912.
Starting his professional career at
Bonham, in northern Texas, that year,
RusselPs stay in the minors was brief
to the utmost. Finishing the year with
Fort Worth, the southpaw sensation
was bought by the Chicago Americans.
ComiSkey offered him a three-year con-
tract at the outset because of his be-
lief in the left-hander's ability. He
was then twenty-three years old.
Reb got into the limelight at once,
pitching the White Sox to % VIC
tories, while losing but 16 games in
his first year. He continued with the
Sox until 1919, the climax of his career
coming during the 1917 world series
between the Chicago White Sox and
the New York Giants.
In 1913 he lost his effectiveness and
in the following year was released
outright. After making an unavail-
ing attempt to "come back" for the
indianapolis American association
team at the beginning Of the 1920 sea-
son, and after other minor league
teams turned him down, Russell went
to work in a garage In Indianapolis.

which blows the year around, because
they swim, skate. ski, float and fly
and do everything else that a real live
American girl is supposed to do, the
those of any other section of rhe

holds. All these advantages obviate
the use of rouge, powder, the lipstick
and paint, too, they declare.
Miss Jordan lives in Everett, Wash,
on the eastern shore Of Puget sound.
She was the only one of the three

Williams conceived a monopoly on all
the city's evening papers which
brought all the other boys into his en-
ploy and made money for him. Later
he branched out and worked in a news
paper press room. He worked up to
pressman, position he was holding
when he enlisted in the Third En-
gineers for the war.
Forced to quit school while in the
fourth grade, Williams obtained good
education on the streets and by night
study. AT twenty-one years old he
was president of the Fargo Trades
and Labor assembly, a post he re-
signed to enlist. He went into the
army as a private and came out with
the same rank. He was the first state
adjutant of the American Legion de-
partment
