made of. Hugh Duffy, manager
of the White Sox, had his share
of arguments with Mullen. Duffy
confessed he lost every one, yet
admits he once got laugh out of
the wrangle, even though on the
wrong end of the decision.
Late in the season Chicago was
playing at st. Lofts. The score
stood 2 to l in favor of the
Browns. Near the close of the
game the Sox filled the bases with
two out. The next batter hit a
line drive over third. Three run
ners scored and the batter pulled
lip at second, when to Duffy's dis
may Mullen called the hit a foul.
The ball evidently struck close
to the foul line, some 20 feet back
of third base. Duffy rushed to
where he believed the ball struck
