STANLEY Is LIKELY TO

BY RALPH l.. YONKER.

Detroit observers OF George Mullin
are inclined 80 believe that the big
pitcher is gone as a big Lacquer. Ills
work both with Detroit and In the two
games h. has worked for Washington
would seem to indicate that.
Mulin realized last winter that ii
was up to him TO show everything he
had this year If he hoped 10 stay IN
the big show. He went south early
with the Tiger youngsters and worked
hard to get into shape. He pitched n
few good games that went against
the Tigers, pitched some more that
he deserved To lose, and then was sold
Ito the Washington club for 81. 500.
In the two starts he has made with
the Nationals he has been pounded
hard, both the Maps and the Athletics
getting to him.
Washington writer's believe that
Mullins strenuous fiesh-reducing cam
.paign this spring has SO weakened
him that nc cannot go the full route.
lie pitches good ball for few innings,
and then blows.
Where Washington and Detroit OBJ
servers differ, however. is in that the
WashngtonianS believe that Mullin
will come back just as soon as he gets
chance to gain little strength.
They think tina, there is nothing at all
wrong with Mullins arm. but that he
simply lacks physical stamina.
Unless George reverses his form and
pitches "a few good games for the Ma
tiopals, even the Washington boosters
will have TO admit that he looks like
a Roner.
With better care of himself during
his latter years. Mulin might still be
one of the Tigers star hurlers. But
IN spite OF the fact that he has cut
himself of from several good years
pay from the Detroit club. he has
record that he can be proud OF. There
is many a young pitcher starting out
now who has as his ambition career
Ike that OF Mullin, who was with one
club IL years and helped win three
American league pennants.
Harry Snanley, the Tigers Hank
Perry Of 1913. is on the verge OF los
ing his job at Memphis. where he has
been playing second base since re-
leased from the Tigers.
III Harry Is sent down still farther
than the Turtles, IL Is likely that he
will either quit baseball at once or
stick u out until college opens In the
full, at which time he will enter Wash
fngtOn university, In st. Louis, Mo-.
and finish his course I'm dentistry.
Better good dentist than a bad
ball player" Is the pretty sensible
way that Stanley has figured the mat
ter of life's work out according 10
opinions he expressed this spring.
Stanley is OF the proud. ambitious
type or player who wants TO be at the
top or out OF the game II would grind
him hard to have to go. still lower
I, than Glass b. It was bitter blow
to him when he was released from the
Tigers. and IL is probable that another
release would hurt so much that n
would affect his playing.
The Memphis club expects a fast
college player TO report In a few davs.
II which time either Bill Abstein the
veteran first sacker. or Stanley will
go. The odds favor Shanley's leaving.
Stanley has shown some nashy
fielding at Memphis, but has also made
some costly boots and has hit poorly
