name OF one OF the most able ath-
letes OF that aggregation who is still

Thomas Spallane. now approaching
the three score and ten mark In
years. He lives In the Tenth Ward,

Third and Jackson. In the days he
was cavorting with the Quicksteps
he was an apprentice at the Jackson
and Sharp plant and some times had
difficulty in getting away 10 play ball.
In former years he lived on French
street above Sixth. Tom Spallane Is
still an active man. He used to play
left field for the ouicksteps and was
known popularity as "Guin." like tho
first syllable in guinea This Is just
a matter Of giving an old timer his
