telephoning his engine started by
itself. Such contrariness Is al

MULL|n LEADS
LEAGUE AND CLUB
Many Honors Are Falling To Big
George, the Bearcat of the
Tiger Twirlers.

Honors are falling fast on the head
OF G. Mullin, Tiger pitcher. George IL
going after the statistics with a ven
geance this season. Both in the box
and at bat he is setting records which
must cause the thrills OF envy to
glide rapidly up and down the spines
OF all other handlers OF the sphere.
When one looks at the pitching
tables. 10 there is the name of Mullin
leading OF. George has won three
games and lost none, which Is better.
than the best performance OF any
other American league twirler.
In batting George has also set .
commanding record. He has been
technically at bat nine times In his
three games, and has made Ave hits,
OF which two were doubles, this CIV.
Ing him grand average OF .555. which
Is high for the American league. Craw.
ford is second at .42s, Cobb third at
1896. and Jones fourth at 1852. Other
Tigers are batting as follows: Willet
and Lively, 1888; Stanage, 269; Gain
or .259; LATTE, $50; Delahanty, 1911:
Moriarty, It's; Lathers, .166; Bush,
115; Works, 900.
In batting. fielding, extra-base hit
ting and run-getting, the Tigers oc-
cupy similar positions In regard to the
league race as that Of games won and

N ALEER MAY TIE
GAN TO WALKER
Famous Pitcher Can't Seem To &c,
Started and Isn't Observing
Training Regime.

WASHINGTON April 24.-There is
one player on the Washington base
ball club likely to enjoy other scenery
before the 1911 season comes TO a
close, and unless this man shows
something In the twirling line right
soon Manager Jim will start talking
trade with some Of the other Ameri-
can league managers.
Dixie Walker is the athlete referred
to, and only the greatest reversal OF
form will save his bacon.
Down In Atlanta, Walker was joke
In comparison with the other pitchers.
Every single practice game In which
he twirled he was bumped hard, de-
spite tho fact that he was apparently
trying TO win.
Walker Is the real disappointment
this season. Manager Jim overlooked
the big fellows eccentricities and
shortcomings last year, hoping that
as the twirler gained experience he
would settle down.
Up to date, Walker has not settled
down, and It Is a well-known fact that
Manager Jim's patience is almost ex'
hausted.
The truth about Walker Is that he
10 not taking the proper care OF him
self. He does not observe strict train
ing rules and his work shows II.
The Birmingham lad has been plain
ly told that from now on he will have
to turn over q new leaf.

HEDGES READY TO
DEAL WITH NAV|N
Says He'll Trade Anything On His
Club, But Fails To Appeal TO
Detroit Magnate.

President Robert Lee Hedges, OF
the St Louis Browns and President
Frank J. Navin, OF the Detroit Tigers,
held a short conference this morning
In the latter's office, the subject being
an exchange Of players, sought by the
visiting magnate. The conference
ended without anything definite being
accomplished In fact, there seems
but a scant possibility of anything OF
the sort
The Detroit club hangs onto It's

league, and tighter" said President
Hedges. In reviewing the conditions.

haps, IL the club here hadn't been win
ming so many ball games. | might find
! things easier. IL Is a lot more diff
cult to talk trade with a winning club.
than a loser"
Though neither OF the magnates
would admit IL, II is believed that the
only basis to which Detroit would con-
sent to negotiations was on Pitcher
Bailey, OF the Browns.
Hedges was particularly interested
In Pitcher Works, Outfelder Smaller
and Infielder Ness, Of the Tigers. On
all OF these players he waived claim
earlier in the year. Now his one
method of securing them would be
by the purchase route, unless he de-
cides to trade Bailey
A year ago Detroit offered Mr..
Hedges a deal of Schmidt for Bailey.
This was refused and was not again
brought up, as the st. Louis magnate
believes his team in good shape be-
hind the bat with Clarke, Stephens
and Kritchell.
