Yesterday George Mullin and Kid

In the meantime they are discussing

Child Wonders Die Hard.
Two more child-wonder pitchers SUI

gamely and submitted only after A
struggle that thrilled the mob as it
used to be thrilled in ancient Rome
when the wild beasts and the glad

big George Mullin, the hero OF the
Tigers 1909 campaign. Lake sent 10
the firing line the much-touted Joe

Moriarty's hot drive through Lord.
The Redsix worried along and tied the
score in the fourth and fifth.
Mcintyre Breaks II Up.
Battling hard, they kept at 1t till

Mcintyre scored. Killifer thumped
over third for triple and Moriarty
scored. II was enough.
