 BIG MAN IN SULLIVAN
Father of Athletics Has Done Much
 for Young Boys and Girls.


 They have yet to write "30'' on the last copy of James E. Sullivan. No man dies and enters oblivion whose. obsequies draw forth the sobbing null titudes that followed the Father of Athletics" to his grave No man ends all in death whose heritage means the health and honor of the American boy and girl. Jim" Sullivan has just be- gun to live.
 Death often discloses genius not un- derstood in life. It has unfolded here an apostle. Wherever on earth a child bends to his task with more nerve and Sinew, he will reflect the mission of Sullivan. Wherever the aim is bet ter men and women and the goal is soundness in mnid and body, the in- spiration is the paternal shade of Sullivan-Sullivan's legacy to man kind.
 James E. Sullivan died in harness with his shoulder against the athletic wheel he constructed. Staggered by the horrors of war his idealistic mind could not conceive possible Sullivan grew restless. And his anxiety and grief grew lest the worlds champion ships in San Francisco next year be injured, and he died with that anx- iety, born of his devotion of his life long friend Dr. Frederic J. V. Skiff, the venerable director-in- chief of the Panama-Pacific International Exposi- tion, who had rejoiced in his triumphs on the field and. later, in the forum of athletic leadership, as he would a fa- vorite son.
 Sullivan had arranged with his zeal for world tests in physical perfection an extraordinary series of events at the exposition. and had been able to focus the eye of the athletic world on those championships. As. director of athletics of the Panama-Pacific expo sition he visited Europe recently and wrung from the International Olympic committee the right to confer the Olympic medals on the San Francisco winners of blue ribbon events on track and field. His joy was unbounded when he returned to New York to find the exposition lists crowded with entrants. He brought with him the entries of Europe's foremost perform CTS, and satisfied himself that his big gest work in athletics was done. The 1915 games, entries, events, prizes and assurances of new records, outstrip the biggest Olympiad
 Sullivan aimed to again show the way to Europe in new athletic achievements. He has succeeded His tion; his last wishes will be religious ly respected. The exposition will open on date and all of the international events-more numerous and rich in medals and honor than in any Olym- piad-win be run off on the dates lASQ Oy od1l1NoJl. ctl1o IiAclI 1l1o AiAc1 achievement for athletics may have a memorial to live while man survives, the Panama-Pacif1c Exposition pro- poses monument in an eastern city which will symbolize what Sullivan | did for humanity and morals.
