This time last season the Tigers were jn last place, due mostly to the poor work of the pitchers, and it was not until June that the twrrlers came Into their own. This season it la Just the opposite. Nearly all of Jennings' stab artists are In splendid condition and twirl ing grand ball. The work of George Mullln stands out as best He won the first five games with his clever pitching, allowing but twenty hits. Mullln made his professional debut with the Wabash club of the Indiana and Illinois League in 1898. - He con tinued witth the WabaatrTeara In 189. ' During the season of 1900 he played with the South Bend (lad.) Greens, an independent, team. In 1901 he waa a member f the 'Fort Wayne Western Association team." and he participated In forty-four championship games as a pitcher, winning twenty -two. That fall he eigned-wlth both the Detroit and. Brooklyn clubs of the rival rnajcr leagues, bnt flnallr. after much pulling and hauling, landed with Detroit. No pitcher In the business has a wider' curve than Mullln, and few have better judgment and control. He haa vna speed; fields his position well and" is the heaviest hitting pitcher In the country.

There are many women who swear by black as smart wear of a class apart, who are never without a black day gown or evening gown in their wardrobes, who always possess s black hst. who krow the charm of floating black feathers, veils, and scarfs, touches of black velvet or tulle, -the allure of black fox snd Per sian lamb, the quaintness of black enamel, jet and black pearls. Black can be the smartest of the smart, the dowdiest of the dowdy; black can be startllngly unexpected and the most obvious wear in th world. (Umbrellas and galoshes are black!) Black can be wickedness in carnate, eluslvely and obviously; black can be good unenJurably good; but. above all things and beyond all virtues, black can be ladylike. "There are women who look thei' best in black for that reason; they look gentlewomen when they wear It. and not otherwise. I am always a lit tle bit mistrustful of the type that lecka Its best when In sable array," says a writer In The Queen. "It sug gests sn uncomfortable reason for Its not looking so nice In anything else. "Mind. I am not for one moment denying that black Is enormously be coming to those It becomea I do not think, black suits women who are In the least degree Inclined to lack character of appearance, women whom you are apt to overlook In black, whose coloring errs on the side of eolorleasness. who are if anything teo thin and lacking In line which often may be read curves to whom nature haa been a trifle parsimonious perhaps women who are fading or who have never fceen anything ut faded, boiled in aoda women, women with weak tea In their veins, women who call their' sumptuous, damask rose, carnation sisters 'dairymaids' and much unklnder things than that, women who are not of the type that Mr. Hewlett frankly calls 'disastrous to mankind." STINGS. Plague it! ' I f Error-making ia contagious. The outsklrt Is a little fragsly; The knockers are in high clover, . There Is no use getting mad about It. Well, let's see what Greenville's got. The climate is sulphurous Jewn here. Lanham's daring makes htm a val uable man. Anyhow, this is the best town la the league. The Mueictans are playing on a higher key. We take no part in the advocacy of a player-manager. Nothing can exceed Redfern's lib erality in the fourth. The cellar is a mighty good place) for the other fellows. The Musicians will go over to en tertain the Twins to-day. Dingle was one of the most muti- cal of the troupe yesterday. Morris Stewart nas several sting upon which he holds a copyright. The team Is not going at Its beat gait, neither is It playing up to its poa. sibilltles. Charlotte not only took a southerly course, geographically, this week, but pert entaglcally as well. Bobbles in the infield: bobbles in the outfield: bobbles all around us. Is the cause of the downfall. Everything around us is subject to the mutations of time. The percen tage column is not immune. Charlotte missed getting Spring by a halr'sbreadth and it missed a gooJ deal of life and rejuvenation. One of the weaknesses of the week Is traceable to the pitching staff which has been decidedly off color. The account of the thing reads something like Dante's "Inferno" at places and "Paradise Lost" In others. The kindness ot Redfcm In the fifth inning is deserving of universal appre ciation at the hands of local fandom. - There is some Justifiable knocking, hue In most instances, knockers ars the most inconsistent people on earth. The experience of being at the top is so new with the Winston folks that they appear to be unable to get over it. The most serious feature to the whole thing Ilea in the fact that the last chopping time la approaching wlt.i swift pace. When the Jopester on "The Green villa News gets though punning the team this week, the boys will not be recognized. This may be pertinent: Are you all In the salary limits? Speak up in order that we may gt through with the business. There Is always a thing or two to be thankful for. For Instance, this, that the percentage column is not a . bottomless affair. Redfern's greatest reputation came through his wnole-hearteJ hospital ity In handing over games to his op ponents on silver platters. The new Instrument which Man- agei Beusse placed in the left border appears to have awakened the entire aggregation Jown the line. The team ivhirh ft, mannaAma had In mind before tho season open- ed Is not th.e team that Is now play- f lng under the name of Hornet. . . Entirely too many errors were made in the Spartanburg series and entirely too few earned runs. The team la a, ; million miles from Its original gait. '.; An Inadvertent mistake In the prv ' centage column In this paper haa fur- - ' ,' nlshed the only material whjch haa com to the mind of The Winston '' Journal do pester for several days. If the management of the locsl club i wants a manager that can attend his duties from the bench, it's strictly up to it and not to the fana. There aro plenty of successful bench man--? ; agers. The Spartanburg Herald Is good ; enough to say this about aome mein-'t bers of the team: 'v-- "For Charlotte, Brazelle, Shumaker and Brennen were the constellation. ' Their work was claeay. Shumaker, at first, played a great game and se did Brennen. Shortstop. Linneborn and Baird at third made costly errork, ; which lost the game for their team.. Catcher Warner, of the Hornets, la a wonder. He is a left-hander and if you dont thick he can peg swift and sure Just essay to steal seconds. He throws them Ilk a shot out of a can- v non's mouth. He threw Riekard out at first like a flash of lightning. Mora land In left and Sharp la centre were fast on their feet Another BasebaT War? Chicago, May 5.
