Text | Tony Mullane, the eccentric pitcher of the Cincinnati Club, is an Erie boy. When a lad he would run away from home and play ball. He wouldn’t learn a trade. He imagined that he was cut out for a ball player and he undoubtedly was. He filled the box in several amateur games at Erie, and then became discontented because no pay was attached. He drifted with the tie to Bradford and did effective work for the local club. Then he went to Youngstown, and next turned up in Oil City, and later in Franklin. Hecker, who is a Venango county boy, got him into the Louisvilles, and he has since been a member of the American Association. When on dress parade Tony delights in loud ties, and frock coat and a high silk hat. |
