With their captain and star player

jury, the Burroughs representative
basketball team nevertheless put up
game against the Detroits In the
Light Guard armory last evening
which slammed them as well worthy OF

defeated by a score of 81 to -, the
Burroughs were always dangerous ana

The Burroughs bunch made the vet

their foul shooter was in far better

ball on Lundy virtually on every occa

This was in bringing the ball up the

! Lane hit the ball on the first jump
a couple OF passes followed and Walk
er dropped field goal from dimcull

later. Freeman secured a field goal.
Another foul was successfully nego'

ought to be very reasonable deal for
the Detroit baseball club. With a

won just half his games. With team

Wv arisen between George Mullin
and the Detroit Baseball club over
the 1908 contract which the player has
refused to sign?
THE This is the ques-
MULLIN ton which all the
/ CASE. fans were asking as
as Mullin S
statement OF the case. published IN
! the Times last edition OF yesterday,
made its appearance.
1t Is not a matter OF salary; on this
point both Mullin and Navin nave ex-
pressed themselves fatty. Their state
ments in this line have also preciudeo
any possible disagreement over a
| bonus. THE NATURAL fNFERENCE
OF AN ANTLBOOZE CLAUSE Is IN.
CORRECT, statement which the
writer can make on his own authority
and from absolute knowledge.
But what is IL?
Certainly there must be some con-
siderable difficulty which has never be-
fore been limited at and the mere ex-
istence OF which may go to explain
MANY matters heretofore difficult TO
understand. Perhaps President Ma
wins attempt to solve this mysterious
difficulty may, II successful, prove
mutual boon to Mullin and the club.
Internationally such is the belief oil
the local magnate. II Mr.. Nayin can,
bv any contract stipulation restore
Mullin to the place he ought to occupy
as a baseball pitcher. the local rams
will next fall be as proud OF dig
George as they are now OF Wild Bill
Donovan, Ed Killian or any local pitch
er of history.
MULLIN OUGHT TO BE THE
BEST WINNING PITCHER IN THE
AMERICAN LEAGUE. His natural
physical equipment Is superb. There
Is no twirler who can field his position
with greater skill or help his side
more at the bat. He has speed oil
the dazzling sort and his curve ball Is
a beauty bright. The games he pitches
once in a while when he happens to
be somewhere near right, show what
he might do a season long. A willing
worker. a man with an iron constita-
ton second to none in popularity
among his teammates, game as they
make them--there's nothing to II.
Mullin ought to lead them all.

liberateness in pitching. This was Civ

ONE OF MOST READABLE.

The Tallahassee True Democrat came
to US last week bearing the valedictory
Of John G.. Collins, former editor and
proprietor, who has sold the plant to-
gether with the good will TO Milton A;
Smith who has assumed the editorial
management Of the paper, and will con-
duct It's affairs in the future. The re-
tirement Of Mr.. Collins was necessita-
ted by impaired health resulting from
a severe attack Of Ia grippe year ago.
John Collins made The True Democrat
one of the most readable Of Florida 9
many excellent weekly papers, and built
I'D a business which Is q most prohta-
Die one. We honestly regret his en-
forced retirement from the profession IN
which he has attained marked success,
and sincerely hope that his health viii
be speedily restored. We1are not ac-
quainted with his successor, but we take

turned the editorship of that erstwhile

a delight in the days before bis health
failed him. We believe health will re-
turn to him some day, and we prOphesy
that he will again be displaying that
vigorous contempt he holds for hypOc-

REGRETS AND WELCOME.

John G. Collins, so long publisher of
the Tallahassee True Democrat, an
nounces his retirement from journalism
on account Of bad health. He has sold
his printing plant to Milton A. Smith,
who will continue the publication OF the
paper. Ii is with mneh regret that we
part with friend Collins as a co-wOrker
in the journalistic field. He acquired his
knowledge Of the profession from the
greatest Journalist Florida possessed for
many years, Chas. e. Dyke, deceased.
We believe Mr.. Collins Is the last one Of
the old Tallahassee guard TO retire, ex-
cept C. A. Choate. Mr.. Collins has the
best wishes of the Metropolis for sue
cess in whatever he may in the future
undertake. Jacksonville Metropolis.
