Says MuIlane Had More
Speed Than W. johnson

Did Tony Mullane have more speed
than Amos Rusie and Walter johnson!
Was the Apollo of the Cincinnati Club
the fastest pitcher of all time? So thinks
a good old fan. one who watched the
Reds of 1863, and watched them come
and go ever since. Says the fan: I've
looked at them all. and I shall always
think that Tony Mullane had more speed
than Rusie ever showed"
Unquestionab bly,, Mullane had great
speed in his earlier years, and ranked
well up with the fastest men of Hurting
Hill. It will be hard, however. to con-
vince most fans OF Rusie's day that
Tony, or any other pitcher, had the can
'nonball force that Rusie used to WELD.
Name ten fastest pitchers" and Null
lane would be among the ten; name the
two fastest, and Rusie and johnson
would get the call: name one alone and
the debate as to the relative supremacy
of Rusie and Johnson would begin all
over.

Coach McCaffrey's scrappy little team
gave its heavy opponents all they were
looking for throughout the entire game.
Both teams goal-shooting was poor, as
they missed many easy shots from the

A spirit almost OF reverence pre-

and the noise in the dimly lighted
vault broke the spell of silence.
Cruel facts regarding the value of
the old structure were brazenly dis
cussed in the precincts of the stage.
The paint was off the walls. Some
OF the chairs were perilous perches.
Carpets were ragged.
Then the party went to the side

tioneer.
Fifty thousand dollars" said a
man in the crowd.
"And five more" was the immedi-
ate retort.
BY comparatively small bids the
sum offered grew until S69, 900 was
reached. At that figure bidding hung
fire.
"Sixty-nine- half" said q bidder,
and at that price the old theater was
sold.
Charles c. Knapp, acting as agent
for the Empire Circuit Company, was
the purchaser.
Several prominent citizens ia
years ago today met at the Tunni-
