TED SULLIVAN PLANS
SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR

Ted Sullivan, one Of the deans Of
.he transforming game. intends 10 take
a couple Of all-star clubs to South
America during the winter Of l9lf-lo.
Sullivan was advance agent for Charles
A. Comiskey in arranging the tour
around the world of the White Sox and
Giants in 19l3-14. Sullivan, who WAS
in this city yesterday, will attend the
minor leagues meeting next week in
New Orleans. He will then sail to
South America to map out a route
for his proposed major league invasion.
Il am sure" said Sullivan. that our
national game can be made as popular
in South America as it has become IN
Cuba and Australia. 1t is the plan to
take the best players of the two major
leagues, so that the southern heml-
sphere may see the best that is in our
summer sport"
The idea OF a tour of South America
originated in the minds Of Charles A.
Comiskey and John J. McGraw during
the world trip of the White Sox and
Giants. The scheme was abandoned
temporarily, because of the outbreak
of the European war. The fact that
Sullivan is a warm friend Of Comls-
kew would make it appear that the
Old Roman has hand in the proposed
exhibition junket through the Latin
Americas.

illness. Mr.. Herrmann's statement says
in part:
This request on the part OF MI
Fultz, In my judgment, is wholly un-

creates a false impression in the minds
of the baseball public, to wit: That
they may be given to understand that
the practice now Is that players In
jured in the service Of club. after a
certain period, may be suspended with
out CONDENSATION. This is not fact,
and the commission has at all times
ruled that a player must be compen-
stated when injured in the service OF
club. regardless of the length Of the
period of his injury, or else be gwen
his release after a certain PERIOD
