MY HUSBAND WAS MISTAKEN I DON'T need By X-Leaguer. M EMPHIS, -iDec. 12.—Jimmy Mullen, the new second sack* er secured by Finn, and who will be appointed captain of the club the passing of Bill Abstein making such an appointment necessary—has had quite a varied career in baseball. While Mullen Is comparatively young in years, he has been playing ball sfnce he was old enough to hold a bat. and commenced his profes sional activity on the diamond while in his teens. Mullen has had the benefit of hav ing played under two of the most i successful managers that handle clubs in the American League to day. Mullen first attracted attention as a substitute on Connie Mack’s Ath letic team. This was in 1904. and lie put in the most of his time on the diamond that season as an under study to Danny Murphy at second base, although he also played other positions on the team. While Mullen fielded well enough for the Athletics, he did not hit as well as Connie Mack requires, and he was turned over to the Washing ton team. Plays Under Jennings. Mullen left the Washington team in the middle of the season and joined the Baltimore club, which was under the management of Hugh Jen nings. He remained with the Balti more team until 1908, when he again moved his baseball paraphernalia to another locker, that locker being in fhe clubhouse of the Newark baseball club. He only- remained with Newark one season, when he again hit the trail. This time his destination was Toron to. of the same league as the two cit ies in which he had previously played, namely, Baltimore and Newark. He* remained in the Canuck city for three consecutive seasons, and played consistently good ball, being accred ited one of the steadiest men in his position in the league. Toronto disposed of Mullen before the summer of 1912, and he joined the rtica club cf the New York State League. His work was quite a fac tor in landing a pennant for that city in one of the closest races that ever occurred in the New York State League, the last game of the season deciding the winner. Mullen Valuable Player. While Mullen never leads any leagues in hitting nor winds up a season with anything remarkable in the way of a fielding average, he is what is known as a valuable ball player and his worth is more appre ciated by the ball players than by the spectators. i" MlSS'JS JACK \ WEu YOU (?.

Dec. 12. - Following his knock-out win over “Wildcat" Ferns in two rounds here Wednesday night, Mike Gibbons stated his morning that lie would renew his efforts to drag Packe\ McFarland into fhe ring with him. Gibbons ss being touted here a* do greatest welterweight in years, and there are many here who would back him against even George Chip. Gib bons. however, wants to get McFar land into the ling with him. Packe.v s recent refusal to make weight for Britton proves that the •is a lightweight n*> more Mike. Then* is little doubt among fans that a bout between Gibbons and Packe.v would draw a banner house. It is also likely tha- Promoter Tor- torich will make a stab at landing the choice card.

Mike simply smiled. “Wildcat" Ferns is a much dis heartened fighter. He does not know ■ t : r ail happened, and is siiri- i>!v pleading v p , TortnF-.'h to giv him a return fight with Gibbon-- Ferns says he was led to believe that Gibbons lacked a punch, and there fore failed to guard himself properly. All he a*ks» for i. a chance to te- dc in himself. B\ (). B. Keeler. B EFORE the football gab lias sifted too far back into the discard for the year, and the spurting columns are given entirely over to alleged boxing and the pros pects for a stone-wall infield for 1914. it appears to us a good time to say a few words about the relation of foot ball and baseball: that is, the occa sional aid that training in the sum mer sport is able t » slip the prac titioner of tlje grid.run. Most people take it (and with mu. it reason) that the two great American games are so unlike each other that proficiency in one can have no bear ing- on the other And that’s pretty nearly the case, so far as football training helping a baseball player is concerned. OFT when it comes t<» football w» ** have jits' had quite a . o of illustrations in vvbi« ii baseball training has helped football players in action. There Is Bob McWhorter.
