MULLIN MEN
SOME BALL PLAYERS

The Mullin baseball team played
the Market Street Shoe Men yester-
day afternoon, on the Washington
Heights Ball grounds. Mullin win
ming, IL to 4.
Had Connie Mack only known such
stars were loose, he certainly would
have been on the Job. and several Of
the boys would have been missing
from their regular positions on Sat
urday.
AS this game was to decide the
championship OF the Market street
stores, il created great interest The
battery for the shoe men was excep-
tionally strong and had such excel
lent support that the Mullin team
scored only II runs.
The phenomenal catch by Anderson
Of a long drive by Long and the tri-
pie play by Anderson, Grady and
Hansen for the Shoe Men, were the
features OF the game.
The Mullln team had a battery Of
/ the first quality and with the same
( class Of players covering the infeld,
1 the Shoe Men we're not able to score
a run after the third inning. The
four runs allowed up to that time
we're handed to them. as souvenirs.
Cats, the expert stick artist for

tied with a home run.
Brown. Cats and Hopes caused
some excitement by a snappy double
play, and these three are anxiousiy
looking for mail from the big league
managers, offering them positions for
next season.
Notes of Interest
Long is there when it comes to TAX
ing them from the stick, but you want
to stick TO the hat business, Johnny.
La Barre has an idea he can pitch
but the performance he gave during
the first Ave innings, would suggest 2
demonstration Of how TO DO the tur'
key trot
Brown at short played grea
game He has the nerve. and moth
ing comes too hot for him.
Hopes, as first baseman. was there
with the goods. They could not misi
the pillow he used for a glove.
Baldwin can pitch, all right, but h'
ougth to pitch quoits, not baseballs.
Hansen had better stay at the shoe
game. he will make more money.
Short told somebody he was a bal
player. Wonder who told him?
When you put Cats on second, tina
settles it. He gets them to the hom'
plate every time. Oh, you kitten.
II Boyd keeps it up he will be {
player As a sure batter he is there
Walls says the weather was too
cool He can play ball when the SUI
is hot. A poor excuse is better thai
I none.
Shuster as run producer is there
II can steal base and hits the bal
every time.
Grady was the msinstay for tn
Shoe Men. He knows what TO do whel
the ball comes his way.
