YOUNGSTER HAS ABILITY
BY c. w. SWAN.

Ted Sullivan. team mate of Buck Bar
ton on the champion Pepco ball club last
summer. is much in demand among minor
league managers, especially in the Vir-
ginia League.
Yesterday Owner Bradley, of the Rich
mond club, of the Virginia League, was
in town on business connected with the
release of DOC" Ayers, and mentioned
that he would like to sign Ted Sullivan
There is a future in store for the former
Pepco lad, as he has a world of stuff and
only lacks control, which will surely come
to player Of his ability in time.
Ted is still youngster. being barely
twenty years old. Last season Ted pitched
great ball, and deserved great deal more
credit than was given him. In the inter-
city series Ted made a great showing,
and was lauded TO the skies by the Vir-
ginia papers.
But Ted is more than pitcher. He can
hit, is fast. and is good all-around player.
He has played short and third, and can
hold his own in the 'outfield with any of
them. 1t would not be surprising TO see
him land with fast minor league club
before the season is over, although he
says right now that he will not sign.

up great game, while Buscher is doing
good work in the box. Both boys are
expected to stick.
Andy Walker is another local boy MAX
ing good. The former Independence
Lacquer is playing center field for the
Newport News club, in the Virginia

on the Kendall Green diamond. and
rorking good game should result. This
will be Westerns first appearance on the
