New YORK. Aug. 1.-The New York
Star will tomorrow publish a story in
which it claims to have proof that A. G.
Spalding of the Chicago base ball club is a
large stOckholder in the Detroit club and
manipulated the sale of the famous "big

is probably the intention of
the Chicago people, the Star

Chicago has palled from the continued sue
cesses of the club. and Mr.. Spalding desires
