Billy Lane, president of the Salt Lake club, refuses to support the demand of the Los Angeles club for an investi- gation of Eddie Mulligan, the Seal third baseman. has served notice that he will vote in favor of allowing Mulligan to play in this league if the matter comes up be- fore the directors. In a letter to Baseball Commissioner K. M. Landis, Busi- ness Manager Oscar Reichow of the Angels intimates that) Mulligan is no longer a ioyal servant of organized ball.

I consulted the best special- howev ists I could find and they advised ie | to let it go for a time. “At the end of six months they took a cataract from the right eye, but tnstead of helping me, I found} that the operation made me perfectly | blind in that eye. 1 could see out of | it a little before. “You can imagine how I felt. Here I war just getting to the top of the ladder and this thing had to come along. I admit it shook my nerve. BLIND IN ONE “Well, anyhow, we never told any- one that I had any trouble with my right eye. The blind one looked just as good as my left eye “With one eye entirely gone, I lost the championship to Joe Lynch. The night I fought him at Madison | Square Garden the smoke was ter- rifically thick, due to the fact that It was raining and the skylights were closed. The result was, with my tm- paired vision, when I sat in my cor- ner I couldn't see Lynch. “Then I defeated Jimmy Wilde, the flyweight champion, won the British lightweight championship from Jim Higgins and regained my lightweight title from Lynch. “As you know, I finally lost the title to Johnny Buff. I'm not a welcher and it doesn’t make much difference because I was going blind so fast in the other eye that I couldn't have held on to the title much longer at the best. But I don’t believe Buff was even entitied to a draw, much less the decision. Seyen New York papers gave me nine| rounds, Buff three and called three even, THEY CALLED HIM FAKER “Some time before, I don't remem- ber when, I got a wallop in the left eye. It didn’t bother me enough to remember who gave me the crack or when. But that started that eye go- ing bad. I kept getting worse and worse, Russell Will Get Attention Stop “Reb” Russell. ‘That is the word that has gone out to the National league pitch- ers when opposing the Pittsburg club. Last yenr Russell was to the National league what Ruth was once to the American, the demon swatter, feared by every pitcher in the organization. In the last two world series be- tween the Giants and the Yankees McGraw’s pitchers slowed up Ruth to a whisper by working on him carefully. Ruth was fed a diet of slow-ball pitching, When southpaws opposed him a low curve ball on the outside was also found very deceiving. The success the New York pitchers had against Ruth in the world series has caused National league twirlers to opine that the same style will stop Russell, The managers entertain the same view. As a result, Russell will prob- ably get more than his share of slow-ball pitching. ‘The fast ball will be the exception. It remains to be seen if that style will break down Russell.
