If I deny that am candidate for president of the league no one will be- live me sincere. If 1 affirm it, l will be deceiving myself. In fact, if 1 say anything it will only tend to empha- size this annual rumor to fact. So there you are.
 George Sfallings, part owndr of the Detroit club of the American league last year. has sold out his interests to James Burns, who is the president of the club. President Ban Johnson ad- mitted yesterday that the transaction had taken place, but did not have any reason to assign for the deal. Stallings has not been in sympathy with the head of the league and there has been more or less friction among the officers of the Detroit club, it is said, and the retirement of Stallings is regarded as the direct outcome of his opposition to the other magnates
 Jersey City and Newark, according to report, are to be represented in the Eastern league next year. Tn Jersey City a syndicate, it is said, is being formed to purchase the franchise of the Montreal club. Tn Newark, report says, a company which was organized recently has boeght the franchise of the Brooklyn club. No grounds have been decided upon for the team, but it is probable that Weidenmayers park will be selected. Walter Dobbins will ook after the interests of the new club and manage the team.

 President Hurley believes that Ho- mer Shoot may jump. He said that while in New York he became con- vinced that Shoot intended to join some club next season that played in one of the major leagues.

FAST WORK BY cREsCEUs.
Trots Mile in 2:051a in Strong Wind
 at MinneapoliS.


 Minneapolis, Nov 1.-The great stall lion Cresceus, handicapped by a strong wind which blew directly down the stretch, made a gallant but unsuc- ceSSful effort to lower his worlds rec ord at Minnehaha park yesterday. He succeeded, however. in breaking the state record by 11a seconds and the track record by 334 seconds. The time was 2:051l.
 Cresceus received two preliminary warming up miles before his owner George Ketcham, brought him out for this trial against time. Ketcham nod ded for the word on the third score and the great horse, trotting strong against the wind, reached the first quarter. in 31a4 seconds.
 Along the back stretch the wind was in his favor and he made the half in 1:O112, little faster than a two minute gait for the second quarter. He came almost as fast around the lower turn and into the stretch, reaching the three-quarter pole in 1:321a. On the stretch the full force of the wind struck him and the game horse falter- ed perceptibly, but steadied and came on strong, flashing under the wire in 2:0515
 The last quarter was made in B seconds, much the slowest of the mile ketcham said after the trial that he was satisfied that Cresceus would have lowered the record had the day been calm. The previous state record was POT, made by Nancy Hanks in 1893 at Hamline, and the best former track record 2:O9A, made by Fantasy in a race With Directum in 1895

 Mrs. A. ".

The first dose set the machinery of life to work, and can say never took any medicine that gave such immediate relief and set me gaining, for which I am truly thankful"

People talk of being all run down, overworked, out ofsorts generally.
 Nine times out of ten it is the blood that is out of order. The blood is the life of the system, you know. lift becomes thin or lacking in strength the sys- tenn naturally suffers and with Ia weakened system disease finds an easy mark.
 Burdock Blood Bitters is one ofnature's remedies. A purely vegetable compound. It is a blood maker; 1t strengthens and builds up the system; drives out the disease by removing the cause.

 The circuit formed last night is compact one and every man will be as- sured of his salary. There will be no long distance jumps and every team will be able to get home at night af- ter the game, unless perhaps some of the teams out of Waterbury, Just watch this league make things hum in polo. We only wish we had Brock ton down here near us because we consider her pretty good sporting town.

Ed Atherton says in response 10 Dan McLeod's challenge: What does this Scotchman mean, anyhow! fumed Atherton. as he threw his hat on a desk. Here I get a message telling me to come on to Buffalo, that he is here prepared to sign articles to throw me five times in an hour. thought he surely meant it this time when I read his ferocious bunch of buster, but I guess it's all bluff, pure and simple. He throw me five times i'll an hour? Why. the fellow is talk ing through his hat. He must be get ting an awfully swelled head on him. Why isn't he here to arrange a match if he is on the level? This is the sec ond trip I have made to Buffalo to meet him, and he disappointed me both times. He said the other day that he beat me in the lawsuit. That was as true as most of his other state ments. and it was absolutely false. l was given a verdict of S20 by the jury. Of course that wasn't as much as l sued for. but the fact that l got the verdict shows that he didn't beat me. I will leave $10O here and l will Wres- tie Mcleod at any time he is ready within ten days or two weeks"

JOE HUMPHREYS STABBED.

JOE4
 A scientific argument over the merits of puSilistic champions led to q com bat of fists. and finally, it is alleged, involved the use of q knife aboard q New Haven and Hartford train going to New York Wednesday night.

They we're talking about the merits oT Vafl- ous champions, and had arrived ar discussion of Walcott, the negro cham pion. Giles, who was seated directly behind the party. interrupted several times, but no notice was taken os him. At Mott Haven the stranger made fOrcible objection to the conversation, and standing mp struck Humphreys vicious blow on the jaw. The official announcer sent two blows back and was getting the better of the argument when, he alleges, Giles stabbed him in the right arm, cutting the muscles near the elbow The train was de- layed at Mott Haven station and Po- 1iceman Lowry arrested Giles. After making a charge and having his wound dressed Humphreys continued his journey to Manhattan. Magistrate Teller held Giles in the sum of $1.000 for trial.
