tire eleven similarly. with perfect sup
port.
The showing OF the big Detroiter
against the Chicago clubs OF late has
won him an enviable reputation here.

Chicago fans are unable to under
stand how Mullin can fail to set re-
markable record this season. His
speed yesterday was terrific and the
Sox were unable to do more than
guess at the direction which his curve
ball was going to take. Most OF the
time he had them SO badly fooled that
they were hitting at balls that jumped
out of their reach.
