M EMPHIS, Dec. 12.—Jimmy Mullen, the new second saek- 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 since he was old enough to hold a bat, and commenced his profes sional activity on the diamond while In his teens. ifr. Jack Solves the Servant Problem for a Few Minutes IB CAPTAIN IF TURTLES PLATER IF JORDAN TYPE Mullen has had the benefit of hav ing played under two of the most successful managers that handle dubs 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 he 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 ills baseball paraphernalia to another locker, that locker being in 'he clubhouse of the Newark baseball club. He only remained with Newark one reason, 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 • onsistentlv good ball, being accred ited one of the steadiest men in his position in the league. Toronto disposed of Mullen before The summer Of 191 If, and he Joined the Utica. club of 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. He has a thorough knowledge of The game and should certainly be of benefit to Shanley this season and wield a steadying influence over that brilliant but erratic young player. He Is the same type of player as Otto Jordan, who covered second several seasons for the Atlanta club. The effectiveness of this kind of play er is greater than is apparent to the average occupant of the grandstand or bleachers.

Auburn Announces Football Schedule For Season of 1914 Baseball Stars Shine on Gridiron v • *1* ALBURN. ALA., Dec. 12.—The Au burn athletic authorities to-day an nounced the football schedule for 1914. It will be noticed that this schedule is the same as the 1918 schedule, with the exception of the game with Louisiana State Univer sity. The authorities deemed it advisable to drop one S. I. A. A. team, and in asmuch as the L. S. U. game was the poorest game from a financial stand point, it is not to be on the 1914 schedule. Auburn played eight F. 1. A A. teams the past seasron, which is prac tically double the number of S. I. A. A. teams played by the other leading teams of the association. Vanderbilt played only three teams in the South ern Association, namely: Auburn, Tennessee and Sewanee. whereas, University of Georgia only played one-half the number that Auburn did. Georgia played Alabama, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Auburn. •The Auburn schedule, as an nounced for 1914. is as follows: October 3—Montgomery Athletic Club at Auburn. October 10—University of Florida at Jacksonville. October 17—Clemson at Auburn. October 24—A. & M. of Mississippi at Birmingham. October 31—Mercer University (probably) at Auburn. November 7—Georgia Tech at At lanta. November 14 —Vanderbilt at Bir mingham November 21—Georgia at Atlanta. JOHNSON AND WIFE INJURED. ARRAN.

B EFORE the football gab has sifted too far back into the discard for the year, and the sporting columns are given entirely over to alleged boxing and the pros pects for a stone-wall infield for 1914. ij 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 to slip the prac titioner of the gridiron. Most people take it (and with much 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. • • • OUT when it comes to football, we LJ have just had quite a season of illustrations in which baseball training has helped football players in action. There is Bob McWhorter, Georgia's great half-back. Bob played the out field on the Red and Black baseball team, and his unerring Judgment of punts and sure handling of passes bore witness to the value of his ex perience in the outfield. • * • *"P HE most sensational gridiron vic- * tory of the year easily was the unexpected success of the Army over the stronger Navy eleven. That suc cess was due to the forward pass. And the forward pass was operated by a couple of crack baseball play ers. Quarterback Prichard w'ho flipped the oval on the forward passes that brought victory to West Point, played first base on the baseball team last year. # !Ie was noted for his accurate pegging and his passes in the big football game of the year were re markable for their distance and ac curacy, and for the fact that they shot fast and low, like a catcher’$4;eg to second, instead of “rainbowing” in a slow arch that gave the opposition time to get under the ball. • • • VfERRILAT, who caught two of the •*•** passes for touchdowns and dropped another only after a tre mendous leap in the air. played cen- terfleld for the West Point team last year, and his Judgment of fly balls and line drives, together with his speed on the bases, made him a star. The same speed enabled Merrilat to slip away from the Navy grapplers, and the same judgment of a ball sailing through the air enabled him to take two forward passes over his shoulder while racing with the ball, and another that he had to jump for It is one thing to take a punt in the arms, and quite another to pick a hurtling football out of the air with the hands and that is where the baseball training counts. * * • A NOT HER spectacular example was ** to be seen in the person and performance of Sam White, a couple of years ago. Samuel is best remembered as a football star who escorted Princeton to victory by grabbing fumbled foot balls and running away with them. But Friend Samuel, of hateful memory at Vale, first was a baseball player skL Tigertown, and by his own statement it was his training at shortstop—-the practice on fast drives and bad hoppers that stood to him when he saw footballs bouncing er- I ratically about the field. • • • [ F there must be such a thing as * compensation, according to our esteemed and ex-fellow countryman. | Mr. Emerson, we beg to put forward i on the. other hand t*hat. constant con- | tael with Mrs. Mother Earth while ’ playing football ought to add confi dence and daring to a baseball play- • er’s method of “hitting the dirt,” while head-on collisions with plung ing half-backs should breed a certain ! amount of contempt for flying spikes.

Bv Willie Ritchie. S AN FRANOTSCO, Dec. 12.—After witnessing a few of the four- round fights. I simply could not resist the temptation to get back into the game. I fought against It and tried my best; but the feeling wrb there, and that settled ft. Besides, my friends kept coming to me and telling me how foolish I was to quit Just when I had a chance to go to the front. They refused to give me g rest. Finally I went to my boss and threw up my job. He. was sorry to let me go. and. in fact, he offered me a nice raise if I would stick with the auto mobile business. I told him plainly that I wanted to be a fighter; that 1 had had some experience and that I Intended to try again. One-Round Hogan was the big star then. He had the reputation of be ing a whlrlwlni and a knocker out. They were boosting him to the skies. He was getting the big money and beating all comers. They 'touted him I as a champion and he was swelling I around the town as the whole show. ! Nobody could touch him. but I made (up. my mind to take-a chance I „?vow. f had seen Hogan fight several I of hts battles, and I came to the con- j elusion that I could beat him. I fig- l ured it out in my mind that he was Just made to order for me. The fans laughed at me and said that I was crazy, but thif did not change my opinion. T wanted 'Hogan, that was all, so I started put to issue a few challenges for a four-round fight. Passed Up by Hogan. I was a full-fledged lightweight by this time, strong and healthy and full of pep. Maybe 1 looked too strong for Hogan, for he passed me up. 1 kept after him, but he only laughed at me and told me to go and get a reputation. He said that he was the big noise in the four-round game and that he would not have anything to do with dubs like me. Abe Label was also a star then, and the fans thought pretty well of him. One of the four-round promoters of fered me a match with Abe, and I just jumped at it. I think that I would have taken a chance against Wolgast, and he was the champion then. Label was a hard hitter and knew more about the game than 1 did. The fans told me that I was foolish to go on with him. that he wbuld beat me up and send me back to work, snd that I would be through with th6 game for keeps. But nothing could stop me. I signed up for the match and worked hard to get into shape on about four days’ notice. I took something like $50 for my end. All l wanted was expense money and experience. It was a tough old battle, snd I non the decision on points Yes, 1 did run into a few of Label’s right- hand jolts to the jaw, and they sure did shake me up. But 1 knew that 1 must win. so I kept right on after him and boxed as cleverly as I could. I guess that my condition counted, as j I had a nice lead at the end of the fourth round Label aet up a cry for a return match, claiming that he was out of condition. The fans seemed to like the idea, .so I came right back the next Friday night and gave Abe an other trimming. I had him all the way this time. The confidence was there, and I was sure of my condi tion. His blows did not seem to both er me at all and the’victory was a soft one. The next in line was Charley Reilly, the boy who gave me my first beat - ing. He wanted a match, and I Just Jumped at the chance. Here was m> opportunity to wipe out the old defeat and square myself wdth my friends. I took on Reilly two weeks after I beat Label the second time. Well, this was sure one speedy miil. Reilly had all his cleverness with him and he stepped around and gave me a boxing lesson for two rounds They were writing their own tickets on him to win. But he began to tire in the third, and here 1 put in my best licks. I Just rushed and slammed away, for I was in grand shape- I hammered him ail over the ring in the last round and got the decision. I guess mv condition did it. McCarthy Proves a Tartar. I feli that I was really on my feet again and that l was good erjough for any of them. I began a regular course of training and kept’ on the sharp lookout for matches. The game looked better to me than it ever looked be fore. Johnny McCarthy had Just returned from Kansas City, where he fought Paokey McFarland a ten-round draw I was not considered in his class, but l went after him all the same, and finally got the match. Harry Foley, v ho is now managing me, was then looking after the affair* of McCarthy. We knew each other, all right; but from the way that P’o ley kept sizing me up I realized that he’ did not think much of me as a fighter. He thought that, he had the makings of a champion in McCarthy. That bricklayer gave me some battle. I have to admit this. We went four rounds to a draw', and we kept at it hammer and tongs every inch of the w’av. He was rough and strong, and he to.«sed me all around the ring. I could not box him at all, and when we did get in close he had the better of the mixups, for 4hat sort of going was just what he liked After that battle I gave Reilly an other chance, and again won the de cision. Then I started after Mc Carthy once more, hoping to do bet ter with him: but our second meet ing resulted in a draw. It was al most the same old thing over again. He wa» too rough and too strong for me, and I did not seem to be able to hit him hard enough to make him slow' down. ‘THE OLD RELIABLE” DON 'T BE TORTURED > K'Tema van hr lnstmntlj reliored *uri perma- i nently cured.
