PARTS WITH DELANEY.
Jeffries Clashes With His Chief Trainer
= win Substitute Ryan.

New York, Nov. Tommy Ryan will
probably be installed as chief trainer to
Jim Jeffries. The latter is very sore
about BILLY" Delaney's assertion that
he was not in condition, and when he
returned from Philadelphia today said:
THAT was nice thing for him to say,
wasn't it. I would never have believed
it of him. Why, it looks as if he wanted
to see me licked. Had there been any
ground for such remarks, which he
knows in his heart and soul that there
was not, he ought to have kept it to
himself, as it was merely a professional
secret. When he admitted that it was
so; that he said I was unfit to fight,
was amazed, I said: Billy, do you
mean that? How could you, after the
manner I have treated yOu% He went
away in an angry mood, and that was
the last saw or heard of him since.
well, 1 might as well say right here
that he and Ryan don't pull very we'll
together. He is sore because I engaged
Ryan. Well, what was I to do. Ryan
is a fast. clever fellow, and have
learned a lot from him. II L had taken
Delaney's advice 1 would never have
known as much about the game as
do.
IF Delaney says was not fit he is
telling an untruth. You can galnDle
that if I thought I was wrong I would
not have entered the ring. Well, it is
all over, and l am sorry for Delaney.
He had a good thing and did not know
how to appreciate it. He received 500
a week and got several thousand dollars
from me when I won. l am going to
have talk with my manager, Billy
Brady, and will have more to say on the
subject later in the week"
Ryan, when questioned about the con-
trOversy, said:
Delaney is jealous of me and Jim did
not like it. Jeffries followed my advice
throughout the training, and never con-
suited Delaney. This angered Billy,
and he never spoke a word to any of us
for weeks past. When he says that
Jeffries did not weigh more than 204
pounds he is kidding himself. Jeffries
entered the ring at 215 pounds and when
the battle was over he only tipped the
beam at 206 pounds"
Jeffries and Sharkey are booked to
appear at Roster and Balls this week
under Brady's management.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
Boston Club Prospects For 1900 =
McGraw's Big Saloon interests.

New York, Nov 7.-Murnane does
not believe that the Boston club will
release or trade off any Of its players
this fall except Billy Hamilton and
Martie Bergen; Long, hethinks, Will
not be on the market. The Boston man
takes very little stock in the rumored
change in the official head of the Ma
tiOnal League. AS Murnane is pretty
close to the owners of the Boston club,
and as the Boston club cuts a big hg-
ure in the workings of the league, he
should know what he is talking about.
IN bet a suit of clothes that there
viii be no change in the presidency OF
the league for at least two years, said
AIurnane. When the present agree
ment will be at an end then President
Young may be dropped. If he is I'll
make the prediction that nobody who
has yet been mentioned in connection
with the place Will be his successor L
think President Young will be a league
official just as long as he wants to be.
His successor, if he ever has one, Will
be some one outside of the league
some prominent business man"
do you think the league will be re-
duced to eight clubs?" was asked
Not if the magnates have to pay a
dollar to bring about the reduction, -
was the emphatic reply.
4 know the Boston club will not give
a dollar to buy out any of the clubs
The league may reduce to ten clubs,
likely. If such a move is made I eX
pect the Brooklyn players to be moved
over to New York. If the Baltimore
club is dropped I think NcGraw will go
to the Washington. 1 don't think he
would go to any other city outside of
Baltimore except Washington
''Why nOt2"
"On account of his business in Ba1tf-
more" was the reply. I got it straight
that he is making more money out of
his business than he is playing ball. A
man who ought to know told me that
Robinson and McGraW divided SIC, 900
between them as the profits of their
business for one year. Do you think
he would leave such a good thing2 He
could play in Washington, and still run
his business in Baltimore. 1t is only
an hours run to that city. He could
go to Washington every morning and
get back to Baltimore after the game
every evening"
A few hours after this conversation
McGraw was met. The hustling mana
ger of the BaltimOres was among the
National League people who saw the
house with his partner, Billy Robinson,
and AIeck Smith. Major Fulton, the

FAMOUS OYSTER EATERS.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.1
A young man was sitting on a stool
in an oyster bar last night had just
finished his fourth dozen. He drew a
gratified sigh and looked at the barri-
cade of empty shells with a mixture of
pride and apprehension. Gee Whit"
he exclaimed, that must be pretty near

scornfully and went on washing his
knife. Such a foolish assertion did not
call for a reply. Well said the young
man. a trifle chOpfalIen, its certainly
a right fair snack. What's the most
you ever knew anybody to eat?"
'Straightway, or hearts?' inquired the
opener, with the air of one who weighs
his words. oh, right at one time;
hand running, y know" ''Well, the
most ever opened for anybody myself
was fifteen dozen and a, half, for two
when I was working on Royal street.
One gentleman eat eight dozen and
half and the other gentleman eat seven
dozen" Eight and a half" said the
young man, enviOusly. Holy snakes!
That's 102 OystersI" They was large
oysters, too" continued the opener,

the world. A dozen such oysters is
equal to three dozen small cuIls, and

OBJECTS TO STARTING GATE
"Pittsburg Phil" Threatens to Retire
If Tt is Retained.
LFrom the Globe-Democrat.I

IFrOm the GlObe-DemOcrat1
"Pittsburg Phil' has come out in an
ultimatum. He declares that unless the
starting gate is abandoned in this coun-
try, he will dispose of his turf interests
here and go to England This, he
thinks, viii mean the loss of six or sew
en- books on the eastern circuit and he
seems to think that this possibility will
so work upon the feelings of the Jockey
club that they viii Immediately order
the abandonment of the offending gate.
This, Of course, is all nonsense, but
Smith will not get away from the gate
by fleeing to England. The Jockey club
over there recently announced that
hereafter the starting gate would be
used for all 2-year-Olds, the intention
being that II reasonable success attends
the departure, it will be used next year
for all races for 2 and 3-yedr-OldS, the
next year for 2, and 4-year-olds, and
thereafter in all races. The intention
is to have the gate used only in races in

however, should not feel so unkindly to
the turf of his native land, inaSmuch
as by taking advantage of its POSSIBLE
ties he has acquired fortune which he
could have attained in no other possible
way. The American race tracks have
treated Mr.. Smith well, and because,
during the past year, he has been I'M
lucky in the starts given horses owned
by him or on which he happened to be
betting he should not blame the gate.
There were bad starts before the gate
was heard Of-mOre than there are now
and there are other men who, the sea-
son through, could never get anything
but the worst of it in the matter of a
start; but those things all even them

same as that of another. 1t is super

Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Saved

- Eo Is. FINKEAM No. 80


ttDEAR Mrs. PINKHAM-Words cannot
express my thanks to you for your kind
advice TO me in regard to my health, 1
had been running down in health for
about seven years. I had doctored
with good doctors and taken a great
many patent medicines. My trouble
began when my first child was born.
I had a very hard time and after its
birth would have severe flooding spells.
After my second child 1 had very
good health until last winter when 1
again became pregnant and suffered
very much and miscarried. came
very near dying, and the doctor said 1
must have an operation, which fright
ened me very much, and concluded to
write to you for your advice, and take
your medicine. Was troubled with the
whites, great pain in back and hips,
sometimes when lying down or sitting
was unable to get up. Would have
such pain in groins could hardly walk.
Il can say 1 have never seen any
thing so wonderful as Lydia E. Pink

wonders for me. Hoping that many
of my suffering sisters may be led to
take your medicine from reading this
letter, remain, sincerely yours, Mrs.
