St. Louis Errand
Boy Is Now One of
Big League Stars
Clarence Mueller Jumps from
Club House Boy to Star
in Four Years.
BY BILLY EVANS


Fame comes quickly In baseball.
II slips away just as rapidly. For
further information consult Babe
Ruth.
Four years ago Clarence Mueller
was errand boy around the clubhouse
OF the St. Louis Cardinals.
Today no youngster has a brighter
future in baseball than Mueller un-
less a serious injury 70 one OF his
legs plays havoc with his chances.
His job as errand boy aroud the
clubhouse gave the youngster a
chance 70 mingle with the players.
work out with them III morning
practice and before the game
Mueller Is an ambitious youth.
During his kid days Johnny Tobin
OF the ST. Louis Browns was the
youngsters idol lie has observed
the play OF Tobin for years and to-
day he does a great many things on
the ball field after the style Of the
Browns star outfielder.
Mueiler's cleverness in morning
practice caught the eye OF Manager
Branch Hickey. Incidentally Much
Ter informed hickey about that time
that he would like TO get a chance
10 play professional ball.
Hickey signed Mueller 10 a St.
Louis contract last season, but
farmed him out TO the Syracuse club
OF the International League TO gain
experience.
II didn't take Mueller long TO
prove his ability. In the first 20
games he played for Syracuse he
batted 1852. His work caused
Hickey TO recall him. In the Nation
al League in 1921 he played SIS
games and batted 1852.
In a short year Mueller from the
position Of clubhouse boy has jump
ed to a position of prominence in
baseball. He Is generally regarded
as the most likely youngster that
had broken into the National
League In years
In figuring his 1922 chances in the
National League Hickey counted
heavily on Mueller. An injury 10
one of his legs this spring put him
out OF the running. The club ply
stefan has advised that he play no
more ball this season.
Mueller is built on the lines of
Honus Wagner. He Is a left-handed
hitter. but throws right handed, aud
is very fast on the bases.
In one sense Mueller Is one OF the
most peculiar characters the game
has ever produced. Constantly seek
ing to improve his play he goes
about the process in very unusual
manner.
Diagram Plays.
When he makes a mistake on the
ball field. and is corrected by Man
ager Hickey. he diagrams the proper
way TO make the play and then
writes himself a letter in which he
points out the error he made and the
proper manner of completing the
play
In this manner he hopes to so i'm
press on his brain the proper exe--
cutiOn Of the play that when Il
comes up again he will be all set to
handle 1t.
Cardinal players say that Mueller
has a hundred or more diagrams
and explanations Of unusual plays,
which he goes over from time 20
time as IL 'prepping' for a school
examination.

his title would be declared for
feited as far as New York state is
Involved.
In accepting the challenge, Demp-
sew. through his manager. Jack
Kearns. requested that a conference
between the principals be held soon
so that conditions governing the
proposed bout might be considered.

mentioned in the statement issued
by the boxing comm tssion but IL is
understood the managers OF the two

The secretary Of the boxing COM
mission. I'm issuing the formal state
ment. said that II the match did not
appeal TO promoters and there were
no bids FOR such a contest. Demp-
sey. having fulmled his part OF the
contract by accepting the challenge
would remain in possession Of the
title I'm the state Of New York. II,
however. the boxer should refuse
what the boxing commission con-
sidered a reasonable offer, ooth
would lose their status.
Manager Mullins, speaking Tor
wills. said he desired a bout before

would not be interested in a con-
test before next summer.

II would rot consider bidding for

Il is also doubtful whether the
pugilists actually expect to meet in

Dempsey has stated he requires
several building up matches before

such a formidable contender as the
BLACK Panther" He IS understood

what it really means to have
such a voice. After the services
we went down and had a talk

of his voice in ordinary CONVEX
sation are of the deepest bass,
and it is a delight to hear him
talk. He is a friend of nv sor,
