MULLIN HAD REASON
 FOR CHANGING PACE

Here Is story from Detroit which Is given for what 1t is worth:
 Catcher Charles Schmidt has let out the secret of what late last season. changed his battery partner George Mullin, from the slowest worked in the league to one of the fastest. When Mullin had been having 8 particularly bad slump he one day said to Schmidt:
 "'Charley, what do you think of my luck in pitching?'
 "'George. I will tell you why you can't win Schmidt said. When you go into the box the infield gets set, and you don't pitch until they relax. Then you ditch, and they are not set for a ball if it is hit their way, and that Is why so many go by that would be fielded if you would pitch quicker.
 "T asked him to try 1t the next time, and he said he would. He beat Boston 2 to l, and pitched the game in one hour and thirty-two minutes York in one hour and twenty-eight minutes He was the most tickled fel- low I ever saw. and he finished out the a third better by pitching fast.
 "I want to make a prediction s .has MulIin will be one of the winning pitchers in 190e.'"
 This Is a new one. Among men well versed In the finer points Of inside baseball the theory has always been that the slower pitcher worked me that Is easily explained The SLOW pitcher will make the man at bat so nervous and bleery-eyei that he can not hit up to his true form And' re- gardIess of what Schmidt may say, that's an established fact, too.

nit . remarkable team by. any means. but It contained such sterling players a Edwards, Hnebrand. Reiter. Bert" Wheeler, Hutchinson, Palmer and Poe. the two last named being remarkably fleet but light pair of ends.
 Howard Henry played on only one team that was victor over Yale. This was his senior year, the young giant. John Dewitt, being captain of the elev- on. N was the individual prowess and skill of the Tiger leader that won for the Orange and Black within less than two minutes of the end of play. The score was a tie and Princeton in a hopeless position to score a touchdown. From the forty-yard line Dewitt kick od a wonderful goal from field. giving his team victory by score of II to 6. On this winning team were Dewitt Cooney, Rolon Miller. Kafer, Hart. Da- vis and Henry. Henry and Davis were the ends, and Princeton never had Q better pair. Their work was the won der of the year. excelling that of any pair or individual in the country. Both physical requisite for the position. and exceptionally sure tackles. Both men rank as the best ends the game ever produced. With tradition and prestige as powerful stimulus. a thorough knowledge of the science of the game, experience in the skill of coaching. ability to conceive new cre- ations and the confidence of Prince- tons army of undergraduates and alumni. Henry, King and Booth appear to be a triumvirate that will lead old Nassau out of her football uncertainty.

Three speed marvels of the horse world are to meet in triangular race predict that the event will probably l result in the breaking of the worlds record of HI flat for six furlongs. The three horses which have been
 Burns Handicap at Oakland and the Speed Handicap at Los Angeles; Jack Atkin. son of Sain, which recently covered six furlongs in 1:11 1-5 with of many a great race and holder of the worlds sevenfurlong record of 1:22 flat.
 Dissatisfaction over the running of the Speed Handicap in which Jack At kin, the odds-on favorite, was left at the post, has brought about the three cornered match. Only two conditions are made necessary to insure the race. These are that the track must be fast and the weather good overhead.
 Such good judges of horses as s: c. Hildreth. Henry Mcdaniel F. A For sythe. Tho H; Williams, R. L. and others believe that this race will prove the greatest ever seen on any racetrack in America.
 King James, 4-year-old son of Plaud- it. -Unsightly. ran wonderful race when he picked up 124 pounds and an- nexed the Burns Handicap from De- rante, a horse which the wisest handi- cappers believed could not lose with such a pull in the weights packing IA pounds. It was only a head verdict, but 1t was sufficient. Shortly there after King James, after being shipped back to Los Angeles, met and defeated Maltbie and others and carried 129 pounds through the mud. When 1t was announced that King James had been assigned 142 pounds in the Speed Han dicap horsemen laughed and said 1t was impossible for him to give away such weight to all except Jack Atkin. The latter was asked to pack 14S pounds, but he had a years advantage in age over the Hildreth horse.
 The result of that race, in which King James was returned the winner. has caused more talk than any event since the Worlds Fair Derby was won
 by Boundless after nearly two hours delay at the post. Jack Atkin practi- cally was left at the post. He had no chance from where he got away and yet he finished a closeup sixth. King James trailed his field for five fur longs and then, when called upon sh owed a flash of speed that was amaz-
 ing and which carried him from fifth | to first place an easy winner by two | lengths over the game sprinter ] Roseben. Roseben's weight was 139 | pounds and he had only a head to spare ] over Magazine.

 If it was necessary to change Q pitcher at a critical moment before the desired substitute had chance to warm up. Cantillon and Lake would invariably go the the, limit by .,s sending to throw the regulation five balls al- lowed, while the man he really in tended to finish the game was warm ing up out in center field or back of the grand stand.
 On several occasions last season Cantillon would send as many as four pitchers on the rubber to the regula- wanted to finish the game was warm =
 This was done against Boston one day with disastrous results. Tame against Boston, but because of an er- TOT. a hit and pass had filled the bases. Cantillon wanted Johnson to finish the game. but as the undoing of Tannehiu came about so quickly that up. Hughes. Smith. Gates and Keeiey were sent in to pitch the i've balls the clubhouse Finally Umpire Con- nelly Insisted that the game proceed. and Johnson started to pitch. He was not limbered up properly, ~Iwever. | and the first ball he pitched Doc Ges- sler hit to right centre for three bases, | driving In three runs.

Much Interest in Great Match
 Race Between Best Of Sprinters

of the race that he immediately issued a challenge to s. c. Hildreth agreeing to race his horse against King James a side bet of s5Oo0. As match races are not permitted, the association. hear ing of the challenge, offered to add $1,500 to a Sweepstakes in the event that Roseben, the big train, was made the third starter Owner Johnson was communicated with. After giving his permission to race Roseben the match was made and the date set. As Jack Atkin and Roseben are not good mud runners and King James is bear in the sticky or soft footing, it was agreed that conditions must call for a fast track or no race.
 Roseben. is so well known all over the country that he needs no introduc- tion: Eastern horsemen are near the truth when they say there never was a horse like him. The year he hung up the worlds record of 1:22 for seven furlongs. in 1906. he was in class by himself. He was so fast that oth- CT, horses considered fast were lost when tbey met him. He was nicknam- ed the big train" because of his size and speed. He ran six furlongs at Bel mont Park in 1905 in 1:11 2-5 with 147 the sensations of the American turf. At that time he beat the worlds record hung up by Dick Welles at Washing ton Park. which was 1:11 4-5. and " llCI was lte HISl IlOI oc lO uil lHIcC- quarters in less than 1-12.
 
 Davey Johnson Is blamed for having taken the sped out of Roseben in his attempts to make the big fellow go a mile or more. He was so confident in Rosebens ability to go farther than six or seven furlongs that he started him often in stakes at a greater dis tance and Roseben was beaten. This. with his sickness. which nearly killed him broke the bif sprinters heart, horsemen say. and he has never been the same horse since However. in the Speed Handicap last Monday he showed to good advantage and caused his old admirers to believe that he had re- gained his youth.
 In the three-cornered race March 3 the horses will carry ten pounds below the scale. Jack Atkin will have up tn e heaviest impost of 109 pounds, Rose- ben will be next with 106 and King James will have 105 up. One of the features and objects in bringing these three together Is to take a crack at the | record of 1:11 flat. held by Chapultepec and made over the same course. The day Jack Atkin ran six furlongs in Ill 1-5 with 40 pounds up he was eased up at the end with two lengths tC spare. Figuring on that race 1t is be. | lieved that he will beat 1:l1 with 10! up if forced to do his best all the way
