TED SULLIVAN
TELLS OF TOUR
Baseball Scout, Well Known Here
Discusses His Experiences

Ted Sullivan, baseball magnate and
scout of former days, who is well
known in the copper country, who
acted as general manager for the
Giants White Sox baseball tour Of the
world, returned home today and after
a weeks visit with his brother, Dennis
Sullivan. will hike away auain to the
south where he will look for promising
players, says the Evening Wisconsin.
When asked what was the most en-
iOyable incident Of the long trip Ted
answered. The best part was getting
back and the Statue of Liberty looked
the best TO me
In speaking Of the trip Mr. Sullivan
said it was glorious event ana added
that he thought the journey viii prove
of great benefit to the United States.
He says in Japan our game has been
adopted as the national pastime and it
is being played ON the lots, ON tn"
school grounds and on the college
campuses. He thinks this will prove
to cement the friendship of these two
countries more than anything else
could.
Financially the tour was n success.
Before the teams departed from our
shores oyer $125,O0O was taken i'm IT
the exhibition games and this more
than paid all the expenses of the trip,
leaving IA slight margin of profit.
Abroad only "A little over $1,000 wGs
taken in, as many of the games, espc-
al,
and i'm Egypt no admission was charg-
ed for the games, while at Rome, Par
is and several other places rain pre-
vented contests. Mr.. Sullivan says
the fans of this country deserve lots Of
credit for turning out to the games
last fall, so that sufficient funds were
raised to make the tour a success.
Everywhere the players Travelled
they were royalty entertained, said Mr..
sullivan. and it was not the sporting
element that entertained the visitors
either it was in an official capacity 1T
every stop. This was lotably SO in
Japan, Australia, Paris and London.
Mr.. Sullivan said the players of both
teams gave social class to the enter
prise and all acted i'm dignitcd man
ner.
Mr.. Sullivan. in talking of the jour-
ney, said he enjoyed the trip over high
waves of the northern Pacific, the pla-
cid and wavelcss journey through the
southern Pacific, through the Indian
ocean. the Red and Arabian seas but
the water OF waters that cnthuscd
them all was the water whose breaking
waves dashed spray on the good ola
shore of the L. :. \.
Ted says he saw the Sphinx and
pyramids in Egypt, the sculptures OF
great men at Naples Rome and Paris,
statues symbolizing the greatness OF
countries. but the statue that aroused
all the Amcricanism in the tourists
was the statue that stands at the por-
tails of Manhattan island, the Statue Of
Liberty.
Mr.. Sullivan tells of one amusing IN
cldent on the trip. At Melbourne
where Duke Denham entertained the
tourists. y. \. Mcbride, Il Michigan
avenue tailor of Chicago, who was
with the tourists, was taken for the
Second Duke of Beauford 10y Lacy
Denham and the joke was kept up for
long time the mistake being discov-
cred only when Mcbride was asked u
tell of his ancestors.

The question of allowing the constitu-

commissioners and the three South
American mediators. The conference
lasted nearly an hour but the talk

1t was also understood no definite

the Americans and that no answer
would be given until after the media

Americans had been heard.

viii Invite Rebels

Washington, May 22.-In circles
close to the Mexican constitutionalists
here it was definitely established today
that within "a hours a renewed invi-
tation would be extended to the con-
stitutionalists to be represented at the
Niagara Falls mediation conference.
Whether General Carranza would ac-
cept the invitation was not known, but
II was positively asserted that should
ne do so, it would be without declar-
in gan armistice or agreeing to check
his campaign against Huerta's forces.
President Wilson discussed with the
cabinet today reports received from
American Commissioners Lamar and
Z Lehman at the Niagara Fall Mexican
mediation conference. Among sub
jects of particular interest to cabinet
members was the report that the Mex
lean constitutionalist leaders had de-
cided to send a representative to Nj
agara Falls.
Further reports Of progress of the
negotiations at Niagara Falls were
received by the president during the
night from the American commission
ers, but nothing was made public re-
garding the nature of the dispatches.
Secretary Bryan, before entering the
cabinet room, said he had hoped that
definite word would be received from
vice Consul Silliman before night.
Last nights announcement that the
dispatch to Niagara Falls of con-
stitutionist representative, presumab-
iy Jose Vasconcelos. had actually
been decided on, was a forerunner of
today's developments. It was made
apparently before General Carranza
had been heard from, but after over
lures to constitutionalist leaders had
been made
According to well defined reports
current here 1t was realized at M
agara Falls soon after the opening OF
the conference and particularly in
view of the unexpected rapid progress
of the constitutionalis, campaign, that
attempts to arrive at a solution o.
the Mexican problem without con
snlting the Carranza faction might
avail little.
The constitutionalists had held
firmly aloof from the mediation ne
gotiation since the withdrawal of the
invitation by the three South Ameri
can envoys.
After the cabinet meeting Secre
tary Bryan would not discuss report
that another invitation is to be sent
to the constitutionalists by the medi
ators to take a formal part in the
