Sheridan, a member of the police department detective force, died from pleuro-pneumonia in St, Vincent's hospital last night. The new was a shock to his many friends as reports from the hospital the last two days indicated that he was show- ing improvement. While Sheridan was often referred to as without a peer in all-around abllity on track and fleid, he would always reiterate that Jim Thorpe, the Sac and Fox Indian, was even greater. Sheridan held this titie for versatility two years, in 1905 and 1907, beating the best athletes of this city. However, Sheridgan was always at his best in throwing the discus. He held the discus record ecleven years. Sheridan first set the record figures of 120 feet, 7 3-4 inches in 1901, and zradually increased the distance until he attained 141 feet 43 inches in 1911. He saw the honor pass to Jim Duncan, who is now with the Amer- ican engineers in France, with a toss of 145 feet 9 1-2 inches. Throughout Sheridan's athletic career he was a member of the Irish- American Athletic Club, to which or- ganization he brought much honor and championships galore. He was one of the biggest scorers for the United States in the Olympic games in St. Louis, Athens and T.ondon. He also held the national discus cham- pionship four years and at present is in the record book for heaving the discus, Greek style, a distance of 116 feet 7 1-2 inches. SHEA WINS ON POINTS.
