Mullins Big League Debut Made 12 Years Ago Today.

George Emmett Mullin, who was once, and that not so very long ago., one of the pitching stars of the Amer ican League. made his debut on the rubber in 8 Detroit uniform twelve years ago today. The twirling re- replace Siever, who was becoming wabbly. and pitched so effectively that the Tigers defeated Cleveland by a score of 2 to 1, Mul1in was born in Toledo in 1880. and played his first ball with St. John's Academy in his native city. He was only seventeen when he became a professional player with wabash in the Indiana State League. Tn 1900 he played with. South Bend. and in 1901 he wore a Fort Wayne uniform. There he was discovered by scouts of both the Ma. tionaI and American leagues, which were not so friendly then as now. Just to be on the safe side, Mu1lin signed with clubs of both leagues, Brooklyn in the National and Detroit in the American. After weighing the pros and cons.t he, decided to cast in his fortunes with the new organization, and on May 4, 1902, appeared on the mound with a Tiger uniform clothing his six feet and half an inch of manly. form The altitudinous twirler made a hit with the Automobile City fans right from the jump. During the vii cissitudes Of the next few years, when Detroit was successiyely under the management of Frank Dwyer, Ed Barrow, R. Lowe and W. R. Armour, Mu1lin pitched good ball, but it was not until Hugh Jennings took charge of the Tigers, and breathed new life into them, that Mul1in in common showed what they could really do. In 1907, when the Tigers won their first American League pennant, Null lin pitched more games than any oth- CT Detroit twir1er, although his per centage of victories was below that, of Donovan, Killian and Siever. The following year, when Detroit again annexed the flag. Mu1lin twirIed fif- ty-five games, and in the subsequent worlds series pitched the only game won by the Tigers from the Cubs. In 1909 Mul1in was at his best, and twirled fifty-two games, with a per- centage of victories of .7s4, far ex- ceeding the percentage of the other Tigers pitchers, Donovan, Summers, KilIian and Wi11ett- In both 1908 and 1909 Muffin pitched more games than any other pitcher of a pennant-win- ming major league club since Clarkson twirled in ffty-two contests for Bos- ton in 1891 and in seventy games for Chicago in 1885. Tn the exciting
