at the time the road was sold 1t was in

vent it the road was sold to Hill. He
stated that at the time there was a
great deal of adverse criticism by the Of

 BALL FIGHT
American Association Threatens to Go It Alone Against National
 and American.

Chicago, Oct 1S.-The National and American leagues are likely to have a big quarrel on their hands this winter, as the American association, the big gest of the minor leagues, is up in arms and threatening to withdraw from the national agreement.
 The club owners of that league say they are getting no benefits from the alliance, and, in fact, are tied hand foot by being connected with organ- iZed baseball. Chicago will be most vitally interested in the scrap if it comes off, for it is the plan of the as sociation to put ball team ill Chi cago, with grounds on the north side.
 NJ. E. Cantillon, owner of the Min neapolis franchise of the American association. was outspoken in his de- nunciation of the conditions which he claims pin his league down to mere serfdom.
 I've are under protection now which does not protect" said MT Can tllon. Under the present conditions it is absolutely impossible for q team in our league to know where it stands in regard to the makeup of a team until the major league mag mates are ready to hand us their dis carded players

POLO
HARTFORD CLAIMS
 BOBBY HART NOW
First Rusher That Waterbury Was
 After May Be Won By Starkie.

Hartford, Oct 1S.-Bobbie Hart, who is to play second rush on the Hartford roller polo team, has such broad shoulders that when he enters narrow doorway he is obliged to go in sideways, like sea crab walks. When Crowdis, the old Princeton center, was studying at the Hartford Theological seminary here, his shoul- ders were the broadest of anything seen on the street, and when he looked into a store window no one else could see anything. Hart is said to be as broad as Crowds and he is the biggest rusher in the business. There are some heavy center men in the roller polo game, but there is no one on the rush line that can compare with him.
 Regarding the line-ups of the va rious teams, Manager Starkie said yesterday that he did not think that any of the teams were finally deter mined upon. He said good many men were engaged, but he didn't think any of the teams was com plete. He thought it would be an- other week before he would be fully settled upon his lineup. The car penters will probably start to-day to build the bleachers at Capitol park. The new maple floor does not need any repairing. Smoking will not be allowed, as the lady patrons object to it and it interferes with the work of the players.

We went to bullight and wished we had stayed away. It is quite as unpleasant as people say, and the cruelty to the horses turns one sick. If 1t was merely an affair between the men. who are undoubtedly very skill full. and the bull. which is probably so mad with rage as to be past feeling much pain. one could shrug ones shoul- ders at the queer game and find some excuse. but for the torture of those poor old blindfOldcd screws there can be no shadow of palliatiOn. After three bulls had been killed We had seen more than enough. especially as the horses in the third encounter had al- ready been badly gored in the second, and the third bull was not killed neat ly, but ran about believing for awhile with the espada's sword sticking out of his BlackwOod's Maga- zine.

TEXAS GOING IN FOR PEANUTS.

Peanut vines are acknowledged to
 be one of the richest and best forages
 known, while the nuts are good
 flesh producers. Hogs are very fond of them. and the change in the ap-
 pearance of a drove of hogs after
 having pastured in a peanut patch
 for a few days is remarkable The
 demand for these nuts as a commer- cial product is growing rapidly. Some Texas counties are already produce ing good sized crops. For instance,
 Harrison county farmers seem to have gone into peanut raising on a large scale. The crop last year in this country was 5000 bushels. but this year there will be fully 10000 bush els raised in this country. This is due to the fact that there is large candy factory here, which uses all and more peanuts than are raised in the country. and has put in a large steam thrasher to take care of this years crop. Kaufman, Jones. Red River. Rains. Panola and several other counties are also deeply inter ested ia this product and are pro- dueing considerable quantities In one or two counties associations have been formed for the purpose of pro- noting the growth of the nut. and in a few towns branch houses os manu-I facturers have been established for the purpose of buying for their use the crop of the surrounding country In many communities peanut thrash CTS have been bought By the use cE th@e uzEhi1es the york oF pre- Pzrfng the nuts for market is done and eco7oziezlly and the of the crop Is made easy .DzlIzs NswE
