Child Wonders Die Hard.
Two more child-wonder pitchers suf-
fered a clawing. though both died
gamely and submitted only after
struggle that thrilled the mob as IL
used to be thrilled In ancient Rome
when the wild beasts and the glad
iators settled their little rows.
There Is something poetic in the
way Jennings and Lake are picking
their pitchers In this series. Yester-
day each came across with speed
wonder in the first. Jennings chose
big George Mullin, the hero OF the
Tigers 1909 campaign. Lake sent 70

Wood, and Joe was strictly up 10 the
specifications published in this page
during the winter, when Edgar VIII

the speediest pitcher he had ever seen.
The pair whiZzed the ball in like can

came all the way home with the run
that broke the tie.
Then the Boston gang blew up. Lord
made mess OF Moriarty's drive and
Mcintyre scored. killifer thumped
over third for triple and Moriarty
scored. II was enough.
Our Kid Southpaw, Too.
The speed wonders having had their

After noting that his slow curve was

ON IL as a standard. IL was a peculiar
contrast, but the speed fell down

The Tiges started hitting in the
