A Sullivan is going TO play for the
White Sox once more. This news is
like a sweet breath Of the past TO
old Chicago fans who sigh for the
days whel the great Billy Sullivan
wore the mask and shin guards be-
hind the home plate in the Windy
City.
This second Sullivan is a son Of
Old Bill, the -non-cusslng backstop.
Joe Sullivan quit baseball some 10
years ago, after serving as the prem
Ter backstop Of the American league
for over a decade. He vas the sec
ond half OF that all-star battery OF
Walsh and Sullivan. There was no
ore who could handle the speedy
slants OF Big Ed Walsh like Billy
The senior Sullivan was q great
character. He had an ideal tempera-
ment and was never known to use
profanity. II is said that on several
occasions when he was provoked TO
anger that would have set any other
biting holes in the bench, Billy salts
fled himself with the feeble e~jacula-
ton of: holy cow!"
Billy eventually became manager
of the Sox and then went to De-
troit as coach for pitchers. The
youngster plays second base. Joe's
decision TO forego a catcher's career
came ore day when he lifted his dads
enarled and battered hand, and said:
IF that's what a fellow gets catch
ing-me for second base"
Joe hits 400 or so on the school
team. weighs $50 pounds, stands five
feet seven inches and bats right
handed. The boys say Of him that
he never let's a tumble get away but
will chase the erring ball all the way
to the fence If he hobbies it.

FOR RUN HERE
Junior College Makes
ReF,y For Relay
Race March Is

The preparations for the Browns
vile junior college invitation relay
games have hit their full stride and
with just twelve days left before the
big event things are beginning to
take a real form. The invitations
have been sen to every school in
the Valley and nine schools have al
ready entered teams. With Pad
docks appearance assured and a real
interest among the Valley schools
being manifested March 18th bids
fair to being a gala day for Valley
track.
Out at the Brownsville athletic
stadium a crew Of men are working
overtime 70 put the track in readi-
ness. The 440 track should be well
on the road TO completion by the end
OF the week and the hundred yard
straightaway, being prepared espe-
cially for Paddock's exhibition, with
the finish line directly in front Of
the grandstand is already in fair
condition.
The tickets are being printed and
will be on sale beginning Tuesday
morning. The great amount OF en-
thusiasm with which the coming
event has been greeted has brought
70 light the real interest that ex-
lists in this great sport. Il would
be hard to imagine an afternoon
more replete with thrills for the
sport lover than the program 70 Be
offered. A four hundred and forty
yard relay and a mile relay between
the fastest school teams in the en-
tire Valley, a hundred yard dash By
the fastest human in the world, and
on top of all this an interesting
hour Of discussion on track and the
Olympic games by Paddock, who did
his share 10 make it possible for
the American team to bring home
victory at the last Olympics. Pad
dock also holds the official worlds
record for the dash events His
time Of nine and one half seconds
in the century is some stepping and
will probably stand as the record
distance for some time TO come.
Paddock is now just twenty-six years
of age and is in training TO compete
in the coming Olympic games which
ere 10 be held in Holland. Besides
his accomplishments in track Pad
dock has distinguished himself in
various other fields. He has starred
in several movies during the past
few years and you can pick up most
any magazine and read an article
from the pen of this illustrious
young gentleman.
The Brownsville track aspirants
are working hard daily under the
direction Of coach Rubarth and are
preparing 20 give the realiw teams
from the resi- Of the Valley some
fast competition in these events.
Individual medals are to be award
ed the winners in each Of the RELAYS
and they are to be Of a quality that
the boys can be proud Of. The four
members of the first place teams will
receive gold medals, the second
place winners will receive sterling
silver medals, and the third fastest
teams will be given bronze medals.
The real purpose of the relay
games is TO stimulate interest IN the
county track meets that will core
just eight days later. The teams
entered should benefit greatly bv
the instruction that they will re-
ceive from Paddock. Paddock Is a
real sportsman and that
comes IN contact with him departs
with q greater vision and apprecia-
tion Of amateur athletics.
