HOLD MULLANE WAS FASTEST
Former Cincinnati Pitcher Compared
With Amos Rusie and Walter
johnson as Speediest HurIer.

During recent argument between
Cincinnati baseball fans the question
arose as to the speediest pitcher. The
name of Tony Mullane was connected
with that of Amos Rusie and Walter
Johnson. John b. Connolly, one of the
oldest fans, declared that Tony Null
lane was the speediest pitcher the
game ever developed.
UnquestiOnubly, the Oldtlmers say,
Mullane had great speed in his earlier
years. II would be difficult however,
to make the admirers of Rusie's time
believe iIulane pitched speedier ball
Than their idol.
