treacherous ''hoOdoo turn" He fell from

rivals flew past him, one by one, and
missed his head by several inches
Il was a day full Of sprints by the
different riders, and desperate attempts
by WalthOur and Bedei to put them
selves on even terms with the leaders.
All attempts, however. We're unsuccess-

settled down to a mOnotOnOus speed
that carried them farther and farther

plain everything in the letters.
1T is true that Senator Brown was to
have met me in this city this week. He
was my personal counsel, but our meet
ing was not necessarily a business one
We We're old friends and our meeting
would have been n social one.
IF I had realized the feeling Of Mrs

perate. l am sure 1 could have induced
him to marry her and give her and her
children his name. Mrs. Bradley did not

him that I would close with the company

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE greatest baseball
surprise Of the year came to light at the
American League meeting at the Audi

Charles A. Comiskey. Of the world s
champion White Sox, and President Ban
B. Johnson. OF the American League.

as a thunderbolt out Of a clear sky, after
the principals had been sworn enemies

arrive until after the members had been
in session for some time. and then he

JOhnsOn's Salary Increased.
Just before the meeting adjourned the
league voted to increase President John
sons salary from $4,000 year TO $1,000.
This fact alone shows better than any
thing else what the league thinks OF its
president Johnsons term viii last until
1910 The league was shown TO be in re-
markably prosperous condition, and every
club made money last year
None Of the expected trades was
brought about to-day. and the two ex-
mana gers-Jimmy Collins. Of Boston. and
Jake Stahl, of Washington-are still on
the market.
Several clubs want Collins. but they are
all bit frightened by the fact that
Jimmy is said to have another year on
contract with the Boston club. which
calls for salary Of $500 a year.
The bidding for Jake Stahl appears TO
have narrowed down TO Detroit and
Cleveland. The Tigers are said 20 have
offered to trade Matty Mcintyre for

in the market with an offer Of Buelow.
