hiibtion season.
Reports from every club Indicate

SULLIVAN CHOSEN LEADER
OF CHICAGO WHITE S0X.
Popular Catcher Of American League
Team Selected as Manager to
Succeed Jones.

Catcher William J., better known as
Billy" Sullivan, will command the
Chicago White Sox of the American
league, succeeding Fielder Jones, ac
cording to an announcement made
the other day by Charles A. Comis-
notification of the appointment was
no surprise to the catcher, because
he has been acting manager Of the
SoX regular squad on the spring
training trip and knew that he would
succeed Fielder Jones If the latter
would not return to the team. Jones
wrote to President Comiskey a few
days ago his final refusal to play ball
this year.
Il thought that there might be a
chance for Jones II return to the
team" said Comiskey. but when |
received his final word | notified Sui.
livan that he would be manager this
year"
Sullivan is a native Of Wisconsin
and his earthly career began in the
town of Oakland in that state on Feb.
list. 1875. His family moved TO Fort
Atkinson. and while attending the
high school there Sully started his
development as a diamond star as a
member of the school nine. His de
sire was to shine as an iniielder, and
he PLAYED shortstop until an accident
left his team without a catcher one
day. Without any previous expert.
ence Sullivan was put in to catch, and
found it was his natural position.
His work behind the bat for that
high school team attracted the atten.
ton of the local town teams man
ager. and he was made its regular
catcher. Afterward he caught for the
Independent team in Edgewater. Wis.
Up to 1897 Sullivan was unheard Of
but in that year Joe Cantillon, now
manager OF the Washington team.
the Noungster for the Dubuque
club, of which Joe then was manager.
Cantillon did not keep Sullivan long
for in the following year. 1898. he
was drafted to the Columbus club of
the then Western league, and when
franchise was transferred to
Rapids Sullivan went along
with it. Al the close of the following
year sullivan was sold to the Boston
club Of the National league. He
a few games there in the fall
Of 1899, and was with that team dur
ing 1900. When the war broke out
between the National and American
leagues in 1901 Sullivan was one Of
the first men Comiskey went after.
He o only secured his services. but
won his loyalty and all offers. how
tempting, were turned down dur
ing the war period.
Since he became a major Lacquer
Sullivan has caught a total of $50
and IN the last five seasons he
has caught sos games. an average OF
more than 100 a season. When he
a member OF the Boston Ma.
tionals in the fall Of 1899 he caught
70 games before the seasons finish
His record since then follows.

Held in San Francisco Dur.

Local architects are preparing 10 en-
tertain A number of their fellow work
ers from the principal coast cities.
The visitors will be here for the pur-
pose of attending and taking part in
the first annual meeting and exhibition
of the Architectural League of the Pa
ciic Coast. which will be held here
from October 1e to 81
The exhibition. which is TO be free
10 the public. will be held in the Mo-
nsdnock building under the direction
of the Architectural Club of San Fran
cisco. This is the first exhibition of
the kind given in San Francisco in the
last I'VE years. and il promises TO be
one of unusual merit. Not only viii the
best work of local men be shown. but
architects from all over the United
States and Europe have sent drawings.
models and pieces of their handiwork
fer display.
Already some extremely beautiful
water color dra wings of artistic build
ings have been received. while it is
thought from the rate at which entries
are being made that the display OF
stained glass, sculpture, pottery and
pictorial tile, architectural designs in
bronze and plaster and other exhibits
Of the allied arts will be very large.

provides a night and day watchmsn to
patrol the terrace. The monthly cost
of this is charged against the owners
of the lots; that is each lot pays one
fortieth of the total monthly expense.
There are 40 shares of stock in the
Presidio Terrace association, one for

holders request it to be done No resi-
dence costing less tnan $1,000 can be
built in the Preside terrace, nor can
any fiat, apartment, hotel, store, pub
ic or private stable, school, church or
laundry, or, in fact, any structure of
a character which may be injurious or
obnoxious to the other owners or
residents, be built. If purchaser
should attempt TO construct any build
ing, except a family residence. he would
not forfeit his lot, but he would be en-
Joined by law. and he would also be
liable to heavy DANA ges. The condi-
tions in the deeds to Presidio terrace
property are by no means prohibitfve

tion to the residents of the terrace

GRADING OPERATIONS IN
SUNSET DISTRICT ACTIVE
Sterling Realty Company Inter-
ests Land Owners in Plan

Through the energetic efforts Of
DR.. f. ID. Ledermsn, president of the
Sterling realty company, grading op-
erstions on a large scale have begun
in the Sunset district in the section
bounded by II and X streets and
Twentieth and Twenty fifth avenues,
about Is blocks in all. These blocks
are owned by different parties. The
Sterling realty company has succeeded
in having the various owners COM
bine and improve their holdings.
Heretofore the improvements in the
outlying districts have been done a
block az time. The laying out OF a
large district with improved streets
and level. graded lots will greatly help
TO bring back a great many people
who are now living across the bay and
down the peninsula. With II street
opened ,Ip to the beach it Will not be
long before the Sunset district will be
entirely built UP.
The magnitude of the operations
herein mentioned demonstrates that
the large property owners of the Sun
set have great faith in the future
of that district. Investors are taking
advantage OF the Improvements under
way. Some of the large owners who
have co-operated with the Sterling
realty company in these grading oper-
stions are John Nightingale. ]. Wells
