box, next a trial in the outheld at
Minneapolis a year ago, and up
to this week head of the Ameri-
can association batters-such is
the eventful career of Elwell A.
"Reb" Russell. former White Sox
pitcher and now stellar outhelder
for the Millers.
The story of his rise to fame,
with its subsequent loss and re-
covery, dates back to 1919.
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 Amer
leans Comiskey offered him a
three year contract at the outset
because of his belief in the left
handlers ability. He was then %

during the 1917 world series be-
tween the Chicago White Sox and
the New York Giants.
In 1918 he lost his effectiveness
and in the following year was re-
leased outright
After making an unavailing at
tempt to come back" for the In
dianapolis American association
team at the beginning of the 1920
season. and after other minor
league teams turned him down,
Russell went to work in a garage
in indianapolis.
During the second road trip of
the Minneapolis nine that year,
Manager Joe Cantillon was in des-
perate straits when his team land

broken his leg. Friends of Can

| In the first game with Minne-
apolis, Russell gave signs of prom
Use, getting two hits. one of which
helped win the game. He played
in every one of the remaining SIS
games of the season and finished
with an average of 500, four
points higher than the recognized
league leader.
As one of the. regulars this year.
Russell leads the league in batting
with an average between 1915 and
1885. and is running a neck-and-
neck race with Brief of Kansas
City for home run honors.
Russell was born March II,
1889, at Albany, Miss. Although
a big man, weighing more than
100 pounds, he is one of the fast
est men in the league, which is
responsible for stretching so many
of his hits.

CHARTERED IN 4
MATTRESS PLANT
State Department Refuses to
Authorize Sufficient Sum
to Lease New Quarters,
1t Is Claimed.
(By The Associated PressJ

Buenos Aires, Aug. 1.--Retusal
of the state department at WASH
ington to authorize sufficient
funds to lease new embassy head
quarters suitable to the dignity OF
the United States, in the opinion
Of Frederic Jesup Stimson, re-
Gently retired ambassador has
forced the American embassy tc
take quarters in a building whose
ground floor Is occupied by
mattress factory, a carpenter shop
and ladies' tailoring establish
ment.
The embassy was obliged to give
up the building which has been
the office of American diplomatic
Representatives for the past twelve
Years, owing to the desire Of the
owner to occupy it himself. This
was a two-story residence OF pleas
ing exterior, facing the plaza San
Martin and although far from pre-
tentious, as compared with the le-
cations of most other countries
was well arranged. well appointed
and entirely occupied by the en-
bassy. 1t was obtained when rents
in Buenos Aires were comparative
ly low, for $50 pesos a month, OF
little over $500 and this figure
on account of the friendship of the
owner for Ambassador Stimson
was not raised when rents went uI
during the war.
When it became necessary re-
Gently to give the place up, neith-
er Mr.. Stimson nor Francis White
now charge d'affaires, could find
a building comparable to it fol
less than 1880 pesos a month. The
state department set a limit OF
$50 pesos and now strangers look
ing for the American embassy find
a building on a side street, whose
shabby entrance Is thanked on one
side by window exhibit OF gaudy
colored mattresses and on the oth'
or by ladies' dress forms.
One ascends to the embassy
headquarters by dark spira
staircase, set in well, to q small,
'salaP or waiting room. which In
winter is heated by an oil stove
There are ten other rooms which
visitors agree are shahbily decor
ated and, with the exception Of
two with fireplaces, they have ne
heating apparatus.
Recently there was a fire In thu
carpenters shop, Had the fire de
stroyed the building complete
archives dating from the days o
Caesar Augustus Rodney. first
American minister to Argentina
century ago, would probabl1
have been lost.
Only one other nation has al
embassy in Argentina and that il
Spain, which will soon house 1T
ambassador in q palace costini
nearly two million pesos. TIL
Chilean legation already has
yeritable palace, while the Colon
bia legation boasts of two preten
tious buildings, one as the minis
ters' residence and the other TO
the legation offices, connected b.
beautiful garden. France has ;
legation which cost 100000 pesos
The present embassy of the United
states sits in the shadow of {
building across the street, twice al
big and handsomely appointed, oc
cupied by the legation of Cuba.
