Many Stories in Circulation About
 New Deals in the Game.
 New York, Oct 1S-Thfs is the sea son of the year when the base ball canard fourishes and multiplies Stories that would make Munchausen ill with envy are unfolded on the slightest provocat ton, and the most amazing feature is that they are swal- lowed with apparent relish by persons who should know that ssfakes" are in digestible.
 New York seems to De the develop ing ground for roorbaeks at present and the main object of the Notifications seems to be to create the impression that an American league team will be located in this city.
 It is a fact known to scores of base ball promoters that there is not with in reasonable strikingl distance of the base ball public plot of ground avail able for a ball field. The only terri tory in this city are the Polo grounds and Manhattan field, both of which are controlled by Andrew Freedman, president of the National league club. Unless he were to lease one of these grounds to the new league there is ab- solutely no chance for a rival club be tween the Battery ands Harlem.
 If the American league promoters are venturesome enough to place a team in the Bronx or in Jersey, there is none to say them nay.
 Use of the name of Senator Sullivan in connection with a new league scheme was decidedly unfortunate for the inventors of the latest romance. as he would hardly countenance a plan which would work injury, to a fellow Tammanyite.
 The location of a diamond at Fifty ninth street and the North river, was also an awkward blunder. as real es- tate at that point is so valuable a ball club could not shoulder the expenses In addition there is not room for . ball field at the point mentioned.
 From Philadelphia comes an engag- ing yarn of the combination of the two leagues to the chagrin of the players. A. J. Reach is said to be the origina- tor of the plan, which means the con-

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. Ic8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn :, says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, l can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I. was for a long time bothered with persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ,ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there'is on the market.
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young,r rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases Of the skin. Doan's Ointment IS a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

WITH THE WRESTLERS.

Leo Pardello Wins $50 by Staying Eff
 teen Minutes With Harvey Parker.
 The bout between Harvey Parker, the Brockton wrestler, and Leo Par dello, the Italian champion, attracted very large crowd to Miners Bowery theater last night. It was the second meeting between the two rivals this week and the contest caused a good deal of interest. On Monday night Pardello met Parker at Graeco-Roman style and gave great deal of trouble to Harvey. Last night Parker tack led the Italian under catch-as-catch- can rules and the match was livelier. Pardello was not in the best of shape and outweighed Parker by at least 50 pounds. Despite this fact Parker was not in any way timid and went after Pardello as though he was in his class. The usual preliminary tactics and holds were indulged in for the first two minutes. Pardello placed all his weight against Parker and showed him against the scenery. Parker in order to avoid being injured fell on the mat. Pardello bounced upon him., but he did not succeed in getting a grasp on Parker. The Brockton man was on the alert and kept Pardello in check by locking both arms around his neck and forming a double Nelson. Par dello was strong and broke the hold by Jumping forward. At the tenth minute Parker was on the aggressive Pardello was seemingly winded and played for time. Harvey, however, kept working all the time. At the thirteenth minute he caught Pardello by the right leg and worked this mem- Der toward Pardellos back. He kept Leo in this position for several sec onds and forced his opponent to one side. Just when it seemed as if Par- ker would throw Pardeilo the Italian wriggled out of the hold Parker la- bored desperately during the final two minutes, but his efforts were futile According to previous contract Par dello was the winner as he had rel mained the specified time, fifteen mini 'utes. He received $50 for his yic+ tory. Parkers opponent in the after noon was James Wenig, a rugged man with little science, He was not a bit afraid and cut out the pace He man. aged to, get a half Nelson at one stage of the bout, but did not know enough to take advantage of his hold. Par ker when he got down to business cas- fly asserted his superiority and pinned Wenigs both shoulders to the mat ih 8 minutes and P seconds.

" --7 CARROLL SWINGS ON BURKE.
The Doughty Manager Fires Broad side That Must lift Hard.

S1uC Ahdt ~ N7e AAAI AAAAAs Once more does Mr Carroll reply to MT Burke and once more does he hurl back the taunt that he is craWler. His language to-day is. pretty plain and will be read with interest by the friends of both managers. The fol lowing is the latest epistle:
 To the Sporting Editor of Democrat:
 MT Burke's sea of personalities will readily explain to the sports his em- barrassment ill being confronted with a bona fide challenge supported by deposit of $1O0. Now, as to collec- @tions to induce principals to meet, l have been connected with sporting en- terprises throughout New England for the past eleven years, and I have nev- CT heard of one of those collections you mention. The show you have reference to was loser to the tune of $40. All was paid and promptly. The Jack O'Brien vs Jack Daily bout last spring was a $500 loser and that was paid, Not a very bad name for. a workman? At the time 1 was talk ing to you I told you I had no wrest- 1ers, but perhaps I might find you someone that would match with your unknown. You asked how long it would be. I told you perhaps week or ten days. I did not find anyone, so consequently let the matter drop. Now, if you call that crawling, then you will need a little personal exper- fence to change your mind, which it is very evident you are badly in need of. Now, Mir Burke, if you are on the lev el, which is taken for granted, you can meet me at the Democrat office Satur- day evening at s D. m. and let the sporting public decide if you are is suing hot air challenges to draw trade to the bar, or whether you have a real live wrestler that you want to match. Just word in conclusion: If real, bona fide challenge supported by S100, throws you into mysteries, as your last evenings letter proved. then can read fly imagine what the result would be if you were compelled to put up $25O or more. I thing R. N. Blakeslee has not horses enough to draw you up to make the deposit. However, do not swell up and forget that $10O is at the Democrat office asking you to put up or tip your hat.

 Boston, Oct 1S.4George Godfrey. the rolored heavyweight pugilist, familiar ly known to ring followers as "Old Chocolate" died at his residence in Revere at noon yesterday.

About II o'clock yesterday, when told that he had but few more hours to live, he asked to be removed from his bed and stood on his feet once more before he passed away. His re- quest was granted and with one mighty effort he stood erect and then fell on the bed unconscious, dying a few minutes later. Death was due to drOpsy and a complication of diseases, from which he had been confined to his bed during the past four months. Godfrey was 49 years of age and up to the time he was taken sick he was man of powerful build. In his prime he was considered to be one of the foremost pugilists in the heavyweight ranks. winning many hard battles. 1t had always been his life's ambition to meet and defeat John l.. Sullivan. who was in his prime when Godfrey was fighting. The latter repeatedly cha1- lenged Sullivan, but the s'BOston Boy' refused to meet him on the grounds that he drew the color line. Few box CTS lived more regular life than God frey. Up to the time he was confined to his bed by sickness he kept him. self in fine physical condition. He never dissipated and was thrifty and shrewd business man. He had large family, but it is said he managed to accumulate fortune of $25.000. He made his home in Boston and vicinity for the most part of his life. and owned considerable real estate. He retired from thezring about six years ago, but in 1896 he fought draw with Nick Burley at Music hall, this city.

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.

''The blow which brought the Wal eott-Carter contest to an abrupt close was of exactly the same character as that with which Fitzsimmons defeated Corbett in their memorable battle at Carson. It was a right hand blow with slight upward tendency to the pit of the stomach" remarks an en- thusiastic contemporary. It was q Solar plexus blow all right. but Fitz- simmons delivered his with the left instead of the right.

two clubs ill Philadelphia and Chicago, and the placing of American league clubs in New York and St Louis. Nc Aleer is said to be already making up the St Louis team and should the pres -ent agreement be accepted the entire Boston American league club will be transferred to New York, leaving the triuInyirate in sole possession of the base ball situation in Boston.
 Those who will suffer by the adoption of the plan will be the players, as i'll the agreement the American league consents to pay the National league a certain sum or a percentage of the yearly receipts for each star that has been induced to leave the older organ ization. The players will then be re- leased and will be handed contract a refusal to sign the player will be all lowed to 'ssift," as neither league will handle him under the agreement. 1n- cluded in the number who will suffer will be the members of the Phillies who have signed or agreed to; sign with the American league, for next year.
 Only Lajoie will escape it. His sal ary of $5,000 has already been depos- ited in a bank, an action upon which Larry insisted before signing his coT- tract for next year. Larry's contract is for one year and not for two, as stated heretofore.
 That would be a charming arrange ment for Boston and. the. American league, but it has not yet been ratified and its chances of success are slender.

Cambridge, Oct 1S.-Harvard, in her daily football practice on Soldiers Hh-d, yesterday afternoon, tried for nation plays for the first time this season. The coaches tried ito put some life and snap into the varsity, but the response was not very encour- aging. The backs were all slow and the line could not be depended upon. The second rushed the ball for thirty yards, bucking the line steadily, and would probably have scored touch down had not time been called.
