TOM RUSSELL DAY
IS SUGGESTED BY
LEXINGTON PAPER
Lexington Herald Fays High Tribute
To Uaysvlle San Who Revived
Blue Grass League and Ask
Him To Stay on Job.
The Lexington Herald Wednesday
says editorially:
Tom Russell, of Maysvllle, did moro
than any other man did or probably
could havo done to revive the Interest
In central Kentucky In baseball and
toward the organization of the Blue
Grass League which appeared this
year rejuvenated as If monkey glands
had been transplanted into an almost
lifeless corpse. Now he saws he Is go
ing to resign. Mr. Russell gives a
number, of substantial reasons for re
signing. Ot cour:e he has other things
which require time.
Nobody who knows the genial chief
tain of the Blue Grass League, how
ever, falls to recognize how much ho
Is willing to do to keep baseball alive
in tho Blue Grass. The chances are
that If President Russell had received
the proper cooperation from the fans'
of the Blue Grass for whom he did so
much in not only fostering, but form
ing a Blue Grass Lei gue, he would be
willing to stick to his task. By the mon
In authority, only complaints are
heard. If Tom Russell know that there
was an overwhelming desire on the
part of the baseball fans of central
Kentucky for him to remain at tho
helm In the Blue Grass league, he
might be persuaded to.
At least some effort ought to bo
made to keep l.'.m at the post. He Is
qualified and Lie U a live wire.
A "Tom Russell Day" ought to be
declared In every town in the circuit
In recognition of his service in form
ing t'j Blue Grass League this year
and to demonstrate the demand of the
fans of the towns having teams now in
the race for the pennant for him to
keep at his job whether he wants to
or not
