ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 15.-"What
am I offered, gentlemen?
George Lennon, owner of the ST.
Paul club, Is the auctioneer.
He has something many major
league managers want In Pitcher
Martin o"Toole and Catcher Kelly. He
says he isn't anxious to sell, so the

Charley Comiskey started 1t with

Charlie Murphy has offered $4,000

minor league players.
O'Toole IL strikeout pitcher. He
caused IL Milwaukee players to whin,

noon. He did the trick In seven In
nings, easing on In the last two.
His performance equals RUDE Wad'

with IA strikeouts until O'Toole per
formed.
But O'Toole has another claim 10

Back from the hospital list yester-

The crowd was bit doubtful regard
ing the advisability of poknng Mullin
into so important a series, but the
genial II. Jennings knew what he was
doing as he usually does.
II would be untrue TO assert that
Mullin was there with everything he
ever had in his life. He merely pitch
ed well within himself at all stages,
obviously bent on finishing his game
at steady, even clip. His curve was
fine and he had jump on his faS
one that obviously had the Athletics
all at sea. He was the same accur-
ate, diligent fielder and he treated
the crowd TO swell exhibition Of
which would have been
crowned with shutout but for low

Aside from the captain, who was
hampered by sore finger. the Tigers
played like fends behind George.
