GEORGE MULLIN
Still IN FORM
RECORD OF TIGERS STAR HEAv-
Err HAS NOT SUFFERED
BADLY DESPITE HIS RE-
CENT SEVERE REvERsEs.

Is George Mullin slipping? You
hear the fans ask that question every
day. Mullin seems to be holding his
end of the battle, even though he
has fallen down i'm few games late
~.
For several seasons Mullin has been
the strong horse" of the Tigers.
During the season of 1909 he took part
lin 40 games. winning 30 and losing
s. lie was taken out OF two and
finished one. His percentage of vic
tories was 1874.
This year, the season being a lit
tie more than half over, he has won
10 and lost 6, making his percent
age .6S4. Figuring last years per-
Torrance down to a half season TO
line up with tho 1910 record, he
would have won IA and lost at the
present time. Therefore, he IS one
victory and two defeats behind the
mark of 1909.
The Tigers have been scoring 4.6
runs per game this year while they
got 422 last, making il easier for a
pitcher now than ever before. OF
course, that fact should be taken
into consideration i'm summing up
Mullins effectiveness to date. There
certainly can be no fault found with
him for he is 151 points ahead of
his club.
The Tigers pitching trouble seems
TO rest chiefly with the other MEM
bers of the squad. Bill Donovan, in
recent games, has done well. but he
came around very slowly this sea-
son. Donovan's efforts are even more
than could be expected reasonably
from a man of his years, especially i'm
view of the fact that he never was
much more than once-a- week
pitcher.
There is some hope for improve
ment in Willett, as he pitched grand
ball in the last two games. Com
petent critics say that Willett has
as much stuff" as anyone when he
possesses control.
stroud took a good start, early I'm
the year. but weakened. Killlan
pitched few good games and some
very bad ones. Summers has been
of color Works has looked mighty
good some times and bad on, other
occasions. Pernoll has been of little
use TO the club save to throw TO bat
ters
That's the pitching situation I'm a
nutshell. Doping the Fingers is about
the most difficult thing i'm following the
work of ball club.

BASEBALL FANS PREFER
new men TO DISCARDS

In its effort to build up a ball team
by securing young blood any club will
have the unanimous support of its pa
irons I'm view of the fact that the
system OF taking the discards from 9TH
or teams, and that at fancy figures,
has always proven a failure, any sort
Of a change i'm the methods of trying
TO strengthen would be popular But
there are several Instances where BAH
teams have been developed in COM
paratively short time by the acquisi
ton of youngsters, and this has done
much 90 make this method Of improv-
ing conditions considered the proper
one to pursue.
1t will be a whole lot better TO go
along a couple OF seasons down in the
race If the public can see that two or
three players are in the meantime be-
ing developed into stars than to have
the patrons watch a lot of players
who once had ability dcteriorate and
the team showing nothing better than
an inclination to be last.
What is more. the salaries paid these
players who at one time or another
We're entitled to top figures greatly
exceed those which youngster who
is trying to make his mark would ex-
pect.
once a player received a big salary
and remains in fast company he win
not stand for a reduction. What T.
more, the club which secures such a
player does not dare to cut his pay
for fear that he will grow disgruntlcd
and not deliver his best work. In this
way the salary list has been kept up
TO a high figure without the result
being obtained.
Then, too, there is a whole lot Of
difference I'm the spirit OF the player
who knows he has seen his best days
and the fellow who is trying to make
a reputation for himself. 1t is tho lat
ter who will make a winning team, for
the former does not care to take long
chances, being satisfied to go along
and hold his own.

HORSE RACING HAS LOST
POPULARITY IN AMERICA


1t Is Indicative Of the present state
OF racing In the United States to in
spect the decline I'm returns from the
greatest stakes of the American turf
I'm the short space of four years.
The Saratogas Great Republic Stakes
was run for the last time i'm 1907.
1t was founded on the lines of the
English ten thousand Founders"
when w. c. Whitney was directing
affairs at Saratoga and was of the
original gross value of $4,000. net
ting Delhi and Sysonby $41,465 I'm
1904 and 1905 respectively The an
nual champion is another of the great
events OF four years ago that has
passed under the pressure of adverse
conditions. So far the Futurity has
held it's own better than any of the
other great races of 1907 and, unless
tires from racing, will probably con-
tinue to do so. The Coney Island
Jockey club Stakes is the race found
cd to take the place of the Ameri-
can Derby and for two years did so
partially, but is far from 1t now.
Saratoga's Hopeful Stakes, like the
Futurity. has kept its value well and
may return nearly as much next
month as it did last year. The Bel
mont Stakes and the Lawrence Real
ization have fallen off sadly and it
may be that neither will be run again.
The ten biggest racing events in
America produced $196,S7O for own
ers in 1907 and. with several not yet
run and perforce estimated, cannot
produce much over $4,000 in 1910.

GRIFFITH HAS NEW SCHEME.
Would Let Critics Do the Coaching
in One of the Games

| Clarke Griffith has a new idea, and
ii looms up as rich and jovial. the
Little Fox, sometime Jared by the
criticisms which have been freely
showcred upon the Red coaching and
base running, is figuring on giving the
captious critics a chance to show just
how much they know or don't know
about handling this portion of the
game.
Along in September, If the stand
ing of the clubs should then be so
established that single game won't
cut any ice, Grif may put uniforms
on the critics, and allow them to di-
rect the coaching of base runners for
one afternoon. The Reds will be un-
! der orders to obey, unqucstionably, any
commands from the new coaches and
great fun is anticipated. Griff opines
that the critics coaching will result
i'm about nine double plays being
pulled upon the base runners, but this
remains to be seen.
If such an affair could be arranged
IL would be a crackerjack boX-ofiice
card, and would show the high -browed
writer's, once and for all, just how
hard IL Is to run Il team upon the field
and get away with 1t.

When the reporter questioned the
pedestrians concerning the S25,00O

ent skepticism by a refusal to go into
details as to who was to give them
