Comiskey Sells His Interest in
Chicago Club.
Griffith "and Callahan Part Own
ers of White Stockings.
TWO STAR TWIIILERS
fchoivs Policy of the New Amer
. . ican League . .
Hare Managers 'Who Are
financially Interested.. .
Chicago, April 10. When Charley Co
miskey returned from St. Louis he hai
two partners associated with him in the
ownership of the white stockings. These
men are Clark O. Griffith and James J.
Callahan, the two star twirlei"s Who let
Jim Hart's National League aggregation
to accept ' berths with the 'Amtricaa
Ltaguf.
This is the magnet which drew Griffith
to the new organization and prompted
Callahan to turn djwn alt overtures
from Hart even when asked to name
his own terms. It expluina the air of
tranquillity v ith whichCallahan viewed
the Bkuation after breaking with the
National League and while still unsign
ed with Comiskey.
During the past month Callahan has
been fledged to the American League
but no written contract existed. He had
not signed with Comiskey, and the hitch
which the public did not know wa3
w hat share of the club Griffith and Cal
lahan should buy and what they should
ray for it.
SHARE REMAINS A SECRET.
It has been known to a limited few
tnat Griffith and Callahan were negoti
ating a small loan to put with their own
ravings to make this investment, but
unless the parties to the agreement see
tit to make public the share and the
fi mount it bids fair" to remain a secret.
That Comi?kf y should make a trip to
St. Louis for just one game and that an
exhibition might seem reasonable to
sme. but it covered a pretext. Comis
key reached St. Louis Saturday after
noon, while the team did not arrive un
til Sunday morning. Callahan was al
ready at the mound city when "Coramy"
arrived, and the inference Is obvious, al
though telegraphic reports assert Calla
han did not si,"ii until last night. Tha;
was the mere formality by which Grif
lith and Callahan became partners.
The move is an important one and
binds the players strongly to Ban John
son's organization. It shows strongly
the policy of the American League, to
hive managers who are Interested fin
ancially. Duffy at Milwaukee, McGraw
at Bal.imore. McAleer at Cleveland,
btailinas at Detroit and Connie Mack
at Philadelphia are examples.
CONCESSION BY COMISKEY.
These who know Comiskey will real
ize what a concession he has made, even
if the interest be a small one, for he is
a Chicago man and proud to the limit
of his club. On the other hand, he is
a man independently wealthy, and feels
Inclined to rest from the constant ha
rassing oversight of his men.
Comiskey would prefer not to travel
with the team, and perhaps thinks the
compensation would equal the conces
sion he has made in admitting to part-r.ership-
Callahan and Griffith, two of
the brainest players in the country.
The success Griffith has experienced
with the team at Kxcelsior Springs pre
sages success as a manager. Callahan.
Tt, ulthnugh a young man. will help him
materially, for the two are the best of
friend, wnrt anv stories of jealousy wnieti
Iliav tsve been circuiy ted fire unfounded.
Griffith saw the opening, believed a eiub
to oi.pose the National league in Chicago
would pny and wanted Callahan to share
his prosperity. Comiskey was willing to
eU an interest, even where he thought he
bud a money-maker, lo secure the two
players. At the same time the situation
relieves Jim Hart of any blame for not
securing Callahan, who saw a better
tperS"T.
Grinith has loner been an admirer of
Comiskey. He played with him on the St.
laouis team in ltd. For several years he
was the mainstay of the Orphans in the
pitching department until Callahan joined
the team in iv'T. and at once took a front
rank among National league twirlers.
Griffith and Callahan received S.1,t for
their services last season. Their actual
piary This year is probably about the
same. Their profits in the club are prob
lematical, but they are willing to take the
chances.
CALLAHAN PRATSKS HART.
Callahan has no personal differences
with Hurt, but Griffith and the National
l"f xue magnate have had wordy inter
views through the newspapers in which
unpleasant things ire said, and the lit
tle dark-haired pitcher wuuld probably
take u sweet revenge in managing a suc
cessful club as & rival to the remnants.
The details o the deal will ba awaited
with interest.
St. I-ouls. April 10. JImmv Callahan,
who has been closeted with Cotniskev
most of the time while here, signed a con
tract after another Interview In which
C'lffith was Included. Callahan, although
pledged to play with the American league
for some time, has ben fioldiifg back for
better terms. It is almost certain he and
Grifr.th received some emolument in addi
tion to their regular salary. Callahan
said today after signing h:3 contracts:
"Yes. I have signed with Comiskey. and
I regard it for my own best good. At the
same time I have no feeling against Mr.
liart. 'What would be tlie sense in mv
roasting him Just because I am plaving
In a rival league. He has alwavs treated
me fairly, and I wish to say that muen
lit his favor. I never named terms to
1dm. because I knew I would go to the
American league."

New York. April 10 So much fault
tJta been found, with the changes in thi?
baseball rules made by the National
&gue that it -will not be at ail surpris
ing if the magnates are compelled to
cut out the obnoxious points before the
championship season begins.
The American League, the Eastern
League and nearly all of the leading col
lege teams have refused to accept the
changes, and will play under the rules
that prevailed last year.
The two clauses that have caused no
end of unfavorable criticism ara those
relating- to foul balls and batsmen hit
by pitched balls. Rule 14 has been
amended as follows:
"A strike is a foul hit ball not caught
on the fly, unless two strikes have al
ready been called."

feature with baseball in New York will

Boston Manager Makes Restitution
to Yale For His Refusal.
Fortress Monroe, Va., April 10. Man
ager Selee. of the Boston league club was
here today and had a talk with Manager
Eliason of the Yale university team. The
Yale men fully appreciate Selee's posi
tion in the misunderstanding relative to
the game arranged for Hampton, but
canceled, and were highly delighted when
Selee said he would play the Tales In New
Haven Wednesday. April 17. the only open
date on the Boston schedule prior to the
opening of the sea-son, subject to the rati
fication of President Soden of the Boston
club.
Selee said he thought Mr. Soden would
interpose no objection, as the Yale men
played the game in Baltimore in good
faith. The Yale men also have a girna
with New York this week, and are a bit
apprehensive that President Freeoman
may scale the game, but it is thought he
will not go that far uion knowledge of
the true inwardness of the case.
Iee Demontreville,- the young infielder
who has been practicing with the Bos
tons, has been signed' for the Syracuse
club. Catcher Clarke, now of the Wash
ington?, wired Manager Selee the other
day asking if he were a member of the
Boston club. Selee referred the matter
to Boston, who instructed the manager
to Inform Clarke he had been released.
MURPHY WILL TRY PAST MILE
Thinks He Can Ride the Distance in
, Fifty Seconds.
New York, April 10. Charles M. Mur
phy, the cyclist who rode a mile in 0:57 4-5
behind 'a car pulled by a locomotive, says
he will outdo that feat this season.
Murphy proposes to ritle behind a special
ly constructed automobile. - .and he ex
pects to cover the mile in 0:50.
An automobile maker is now construct
ing a machine which- will travel the mile
in 0:50 on a level stretch of road. The
machine will be 35 horsepower and the
general plan will be like that of the fa
mous Vanderbilt "white ghost."
The auto is built very low and will have
wind shields at the rear extending to the
ground. A course suitable for the speed
test against time has been selected on
I,ong Island. Just as soon a.s the ma
chine is built It will be brought there and
Murphy will begin training back of it.
Murphy says he would like to ride
across the narrow footpath which is be
ing constructed on the Kast river bridge,
but it is hardly probable that the police
would permit such a foolhardy feat.
STUART TO BID.
Will Try to Secure Jeffries-Ruhlin
Eight For Carson City.
New York, April 10. There is much
speculation among sporting men just now
as to the location of the battleground
where the championship battle between
"Gus" Puhlin and James J. Jeffries will
be fought.
"Han" Stuart, the f.trht promoter, who
managed the Corbett-Fitzstmmons cham
pionship affair at Carson City success
fully, will arrive in town tomorrow. He
has sent word forward that he will be a
bidder for the big mill.
The Twentieth Century and National
Athletic clubs of San Francisco are also
anxious to secure the bout, but as Jef
fries and Ruhlin have now agreed to
fight before the club offering the best in
ducements, the highest bidder will be the
successful one. no matter where the offor
comes from. One thing is certain, though,
and that is 'Frisco and, possibly, (.'arson
City, are the only two places where a
fight of such importance could be pulled
of successfully. That is shown conclu
sively by the failure of the attempt in

camp last night. He came in from Cali
fornia, where he has been playing all win
ter, and says he has feigned a contract

the local physician, billiard expert and
baseball player, signed a contract Satur
day to pitch for the Boston team of the
American league. Parker, who did good
work for Minneapolis last summer, looks
and feels well, but, although sure that
the American will prosper, does not hes
itate to give frank opinions on some of
his associates' doings.
"I do not blame Roger Denzer for
jumping his contract with Comiskey,"
said the doctor. "Do you know w:hat
Roger got from Commy? One hundred
and sixty dollars a month far the last
two yeais, five months in the year, or
rather less than $10 a week fo- the
twelve months he had to live each year.
"Why, New York will pay Rodge more
money than he ever saw and he won't
have to work as hard."
Promising Colt Dies.

ling colt, own brother to the Kentucky
Derby winner. Lieutenant Gibson by G.

cer has already reported for duty and is

Grlnnell 13, M. S. U. 4.
Columbia, Mo., April 10. The first
game of the season by the Missouri uni
versity baseball team was played here
Tuesday afternoon with Grinnell college,
of Iowa. Missouri made a rather poor
showing, the score at the close standing
13 to 4 in favor of Iowa. The battery
work of the visitors was far superior and
this was largely the cause of their vic
tory. The star players for Missouri were
Coe at second base and Broadhead at
third, both putting out ten men within
six innings. Marsh, catcher, and Clark,
pitcher, of the Iowa team made a fine
record. A big crowd was there and the
gate receipts were so large as to make
the financial outlook for the season very
encouraging.
Pirates in Demand.
Pittsburg, April 10. If the Pittsburg
club had won the championship last year
it could not be more in demand a3 an
exhibition attraction than it ia now.
President Dreyfus3, who has on file a
large bunch of applications from all

ule w hich covers all of the Pirates' loose
time in April. On April 10 and 11 the

can league club, and took his departure
for St. Louis, where he will Join the

the best for hi3 services.
Bobby Dobbs Defeated.
Memphis, Tenn., April 10. In the
twenty round tight between Bob Long,
of Chicago, and Bobby Dobbs, of
Memphis, tonight, the Chicago man
gained the decision after sixteen rounds
of very ordinary fighting, Dobbs' seconds
throwing up the sponge, claiming their
man had broken an arm. Dobbs out
pointed his opponent in almost every
round and did most of the leading but
Long had a big advantage in weight and
would probably have been given the de
cision had the fight gone the limit.
McFarland Goes Home.
Philadelphia, April 10. Catcher Eddie
McFarland has reserted the Philadel
phia National League club. He packed
his trunk yesterday afternoon and left
last evening for his home in Cleveland.

A Kansas City merchant backed the
expedition into Brazil to locate a rubber
grant, which it was proposed to obtain
from the Brazilian government. Nearly
a year after it had left the last point
of civilization, way up the Zingu river,
Frank Greenfield, a brother of the ex
plorer, who had accompanied the party
far into Brazil, came home to organize
a relief expedition to go In search of the
four Americans composing the expedi
tion. He secured aid from this and the
Brazilian governments and went into
the interior of Brazil, finally reporting
having learned from the savage natives
of the country that the four men had
been massacred. This was insufficient
proof of death to warrant the payment
of the policyy, but the lodge has been
convinced of the young man's death and
has ordered the J2.000 paid.
DRUGGISTS' OCCUPATION" TAX.
Wellington Adopts Novel Scheme to
Enrich Its Treasury.
Wellington, April 10. The city council
ftas struck a way of raising revenue,
which, if It works, will produce plenty
of money. An ordinance was passed
which strikes those who sell liquor un
der the law. It levies an occupation tax
of J1.200 a year upon druggists who hold
permits under the state laws to sell in
toxicating liquors. This license must be
paid semi-annually, $600 in advance.
Each day the druggist engages in busi
ness in violation of this ordinance, is a
separate offense for which the fine is
made $100. The druggists, it is under
stood, will fight the ordinance.

against the Santa Fe for alleged failure
to transport eighty-eight head of cattle
to the Kansas City market, October 2,
1900, in time to catch the morning mar
ket, thereby causing the plaintiff to lose
$1125 in falling prices and poor condition
of cattle by reason of lack of feed and
water. Plaintiff claims that defendant
held stock in cars six hours after time
for shipment, and further delayed the
train by reason of defective cars and
over worked train crew until they did
not arrive on the market until 2 p. m.
the next, day, when they should have
arrived in time for the early morning
market, thereby causing a loss to the
plaintiff as above stated. '

"Wichita. April 10. D. "W. Blaine of

10.000 harvest hands to take care of the
small grain in the wheat belt in June.
They will ask a rate of 1 cent per

mate of 10,000 hands is made from a can

NEW MOVE IN CARTER CASE.
Newspapers to Bo Sued For Libel in
Order to Bring Out Testimony.
Leavenworth, April 10. John H. At
wood, attorney for Oberlin M. Carter,
said this afternoon that he had caused
suit for libel to be brought against the
Chicago Journal, and that, in the near
future, suit would be brought against
the New York Tribune. The Journal and
the Tribune printed a story to the effect
that Carter's alleged stealings have been
located. He said that tha purpose was
to force these papers to produce testi
mony In their own defense, Which Carter
would find valuable in his efforts to se
cure a rehearing and civil trial. He said
that when the suits come to trial the pa
pers will have the opportunity to intro
duce civilian witnesses, who were not
brought into the Savannah trial, and by
their testimony it is hoped to prove
Carter's innocence.
"We have been waiting for an oppor
tunity of this kind for a long time."
said Atwood, "and it was for this pur
pose that we tried to bring about the
trial in Savannah."
The only embarrassment will be that
Carter will not be abie to attend the
trials in Chicago or New York.

The diseases most feared are those wiricli axe
inherited handed down from generation to gen
eration, and family to family. By far the most
destructive of these is Cancer, which tads the
greatest number of its victims among- the children
and Efrand-cbiMren of those whose blood was tarn ted
with this dreadful malady. You may carry this poison in the blood for years, but
as the vital powers' begin to wane a slk-ht bnnse or cut, wart or mole, sore or
pimple may develop into Cancer. From "middle life to old age is the time when
the slumbering poison is most apt to break oat, a sore or ulcer often degenerating
into Cancer, and Tumors become more progressive and ulcerate through the skin,
the sharp, shooting pains causing the most intense suffering.
The Cancer patient naturally grows despondent as one after another the usubL
remedies fail, and the sore shows no sign of healrng. The impurities that have,
been accumulating in the system, perhaps for generations, cannot be eliminated nor
the poisoned blood made pure by salves, washes and plasters. The proper treatment
is to purify and build up the blood, remove the cause, when the sore or ulcer heals.
