MULLEN TO THE NATIONAL.
Popular western League Official
Joins HeydIer's STAFF.

JOINS HeydIer'S staff.
John Mullen. who was considered
the cream of Tip O'NeilIs umpiring
staff during the season just closed
has been added to the National
league Empirical staff Mullen re-
ports to President Heydler today
aud Will be assigned to some game,
where he will start his labors to-
morrow and continue until the sea
sons end.
Mullen was undoubtedly the best
umpire who worked in the Western
league this season. He started his
western league career in Topeka,
and naturally the local fans will take
considerable interest in his future
work. Mullen was fair umpire
whatever else is said of him. At
times during the season, close plays
may have come up, on which Mullen
appeared to be giving the locals the
worst of it. but no one ever ques-
toned his honesty. He is I'M
doubted1y the most impartial official
ever seen in Topeka.
Mullen lives in Pittsburg, Pa. and
has been umpiring for the past five
years. He started in independent
ball, and then went to the z. O. NJ
league and from there to the New
York State league, where President
Tiperino discovered him. Mullen will
make a favorable i'm
preston on President Heydler. and
is likely member for the big league
next season. If calling decisions as
he sees them is any recommendation,
Mullen will make good in a walk.
