SENSATIONAL PITCHER HAS “GONE BACK”

At present it looks as if Lefty Russell's days as a pitcher are over. The youngster whom Connie Mack bought from the Orioles has a bad arm, and doctors say the cords are knotted. Russell caught cold in his salary arm

in the spring practice and hasn’t been able to use it to good advantage since. Mack still is paying Russell’s salary in the hope that some day Lefty will be able to take his turn on the motind.

“Lefty" Russell.
