John 1.. Sullivan, who died at his home in Arlington, Mass., on Satur- day, was sixty years old. He was born in Boston, October 15th, 1858. In 1880 he gained fame in sporting circles when he knocked out George Rocke in two rounds. He followed this by a knockout of J. Donaldson in ten rounds. Sullivan met and van- guished Paddy Ryan in 1886 in three rounds in Sin Pranciscé. In July of the same year he won from Jake Kilrain at Richburg in a 75-round battle. Ia 1892 he met Jim Cor- bett in New Orleans and lost in 21 rounds. Sullivan stood for the best in sport- ing ethics: He was a clean fighter and showed true sportsmanship in all battles in which he figured, and was the idol of fight fans for years. For a long time after he had stopped professional fighting, Salli- van was in constant demand for ex- hibitions, and appeared in vaudeville at various times. He had travelled extensively and his name was known throughout: the sporting world. Sullivan was one of the. mpst pic- turesque fighters in the hiftory of pugilism. His death ig the third of importance to take pléce in pugilis- tic circles. within a short time, Les Darcy and Bob Fitzsimmons, the best boxers ever sent to this country from Australia, died recently within a short time of each other. First American Champion. Sullivan was the first of the Am- erican world's heavyweight cham- pions, taking his title through a vie- tory over Kilrain, winning a belt em- blematic of the championship. Sul- livan added to his popularity after winning the title by making a tour of the country, meeting all-comers and guaranteeing to defeat them. Sullivan's iron constitution = was undermined while he was at his best as a pugilist through his addiction to liquor. He 'stopped the habit years ago and has since been a foremost antagonist of alcohol. .' Sullivan was married twice, his second wife being taken in Boston, February 8, 1910. She was Miss Kate "Harkins, of 'Roxbury, Mass., a sweetheart of his youth. His first wife was: Miss Annie Bates, of Cen- treville, R.I. He obtained a divorce from her in Chicago, charging deser- tion, They had lived together only eighteen months of the twenty-six years they had been married. Sullivan's claim to a world's championship always has been a subject of much dispute, but heé gain- ed general recognition by his defeat of Kilrain after first winning decis- ively over Paddy Ryn, who claimed the American championship. When Corbett defeated Sullivan the title was still in some dispute, but Sulli- van's claim to having held the world's championship was strengthened when Bob Fitzsimmons was acclaimed champion; with no Sisputes, when he won from Corbett.

ALEXANDER BEST PITCHER ------ Johnson Second' a Cicotte Third in The RR aking pitchers for their effectiveness is fair enough. it does pot belittle the petforin- ances or the big winning * pitcher, though' be had allowed! opponents many Tuns. It does help thie pitcher who has lost many games through fielding bubbles' behind him. here, were just fifteen pitchers out 'of the hundred odd hurlers in the majors dast season who allowed less than two runs per nine innings pitch~ ed, and naturally enough they were for the most part outstanding stars, But thongh the fairness of rank- ing pitchers for their effectiveness in one seasgn is appreciated; it is after all the pitcher who can do the most work and turn in' the most victories with consistent regularity = who is most. valuable to suy ball club. The more a pitcher works the greater will be his victories and losses. But it is for such pitchers that the managers are 'constantly hunting. 'Phe star hurlers of the big leagues runtber perhaps twenty or more. But the outstanding niné #elected here are far and above rivals in consist- ency. Grover Cleveland Alexander, through his wonderful pitching last season and for several seasons prior to that, stands out as the greatest of them =il. He turned in thirty vic- tories last season and "was strikeout king of the lot. He is placed at the head of the list. Walter Johnson, playing with a fosing club, worked like a Turk last year. He has done the same in yéars gone gy. He is still a great pitcher regardles of his losses. He is rank- ed second. Eddie Cicotte, the: won- derful comeback, is rapked "third. Cicotte, apparently, has just found his "true level as a pitcher. ¥ Babe Ruth stands fourth in the es. timation of this writer. His classifi- cation will not be agreed 'upon by more than one in twenty fans, if hy that many. Another left-hander, Ferdie Schupp, is placed fifth among the great pitchers. Schupp has risem jto fame in two short seasons. Sixth on the list comes Jim Bagby, 6f the Indians, with Cary Mays, of Boston, seventh; Jim Vaughn, of the Cubs, eighth, and Fred Toney, of the Reds, ninth. rtm hs i i BASEBALL WILL tvk , More Than $100,000 To The Red Cross Fund. More than $100,000 probably will be turned over to thé American Red Cross by the two major leagues this season if plans are carried out, Pres- League has announgéd. ed to increase the & st of all Admis- sions five to ten cents and turn over to the Red Cross the difference be- tween the regular fee plus war tax and the increased admission price. Club owners in both leagues favor the proposal and all that remains is official sanction by' Washington offi- cials, Mr. Johnson stated. "Under this plan," he said, "blea- chet seats wofild cdst 80 cents, pavi- lion, 55 cents; grand stand, 80 cents, dnd boxes, $1.10. Thus on each tic- t there would bé two or three foams left over after we paid the war This would be turned over to thé Red Cross, and the total for the season, based on last season's figures, would amount to mere than $100, 000. . "The plan is now being consider 'jed by the Internal Revenue Depart- ment and I uhdersiand has met with their approval." "= Irwin For President. Arthur Irwin claims to have the support of the majority of the clubs of the International League for the presidency of . that organization. There's one thing certain if Mr. Irwin is elected he'll be able to hold his own in baseball debates with Ban Johnson, Governor Tenor, or a other of the celebrities.

According to Cobb, he would rather hit against any other pitcher in the league than Faber, Lieut, O'Hara Lecturing.

The Boston National League Base- ball Club has announced that it will not sanction the playing on the team of any members now in the army or navy who might succeed in obtain- ing furloughs. "The owners of the Braves," the announcement says, '"'believe that baseball has its place today, as ever, and that the public needs and desires that relaxation found in clean sport, but they do not believe that the strength of our fighting forces should be permitted to be weakened one iota because of haseball."
