Il was in my senior year at Column
bia when a scout found me UP at Rut-
land, VT, playing shortstop for that
team in the Northern league Davy
Shean was at second. The scout asked
me how / would like to join the ath-
letics, but / told him / did not want
to lose playing for Columbia in my
senior year He said that would be
fixed up all right, and / could travel
under an assumed name.
$50 went to Philadelphia and found
the clubhouse which was on the old
grounds at Columbia avenue. Connie
Mack's office had two rooms, and he
was in the inside office. Tim Murnane
was in the inner office when 1 showed
up.
Connie could look out and spot
did not want Tim to get wise, so he
got out of his chair. ran to the door
and pushed me into the outer office
"As he bumped me out Connie stuck
out his hand and said, How do you do
Mr.. Sullivan? Come right along with
me- He took me down behind the
grand stand and / practiced there for
three days.
THE western trip opened in Chicago,
and / played under the name of Sui
Ivan.
II made the whole trip and went
back to college. got my degree and
then came to the athletics after COM
mencement. / played under my own
name then, of course, but it was funny
in Chicago One writer came out with
a note and said:
1.-THE young fellow now playing un-
der the name of Collins has been in
the American league before, and his
right name is Sullivan. And, that's
how started in the big show"

Over Johnny Mccarthy in Ten Round
Bout at Frisco.

Kansas City. Jan. 11.-Packey Nc
Farland of Chicago. won the decision
over Johnny Mccarthy of San Fran
cisco, in a ten-round bout here last
night.
The Chicago boy led by wide mar
gin every round and left the ring I'M
marked. McCarthy's face was badly
bruised. His nose bled freely from the
third round until the end of the bat
tie Both fighters, and Emmett Mel
lody, referee, bore bloody evidence of
McFarland's singing blows to his OPP
ponent's face.
Mccarthy fought game fight, but
his blows were Intellectual. He played
for Packev's wind and kidneys in
every round. McFarlands dazzling
footwork caused the San Francisco
pugilist to miss at least third of
the blows ne started. When Mccarthy
did land, his punches did not seem to
carry force.

Il have every reason IL believe /
will commence a week in vaudeville

two small boxing bouts, easy ones

as necessary to prove to myself and
my physician that the left hand Is
again all right. If / get along all right
/ will commence seriously to listen to
what Owen Moran has to say. but am
confident that we will not get together
until the first of next May, and very
likely not until next fall. You can
take it from me that Moran gets my
first big date. Not take Nelson on?
Sure. but Nelson would not be a big
opponent. Listen till / tell you some
thing. Nelson is no longer such an al
mighty important scrapper that any
of almost half dozen lightweights I
could name need be at all afraid of
him, and none of them would be If
they know him in action as l do.
Moran will get my first big date.
But listen again when he gets that
date it viii be strictly on my terms.
Do you think if / were in Moran's
shoes and he in mine that he would
let me undertake TO tell him where to
head in on the subjects of dates,
places and the finances? Not for a
