I want to cite some references in my article. (I used \cite{}.) However, it turns out some bold words instead of citation numbers are produced. Here is my code: 

\usepackage{url}
\renewcommand{\UrlFont}{\small\tt}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{ {images/} }
\usetikzlibrary{automata,arrows,positioning,calc}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{setspace}



\section{Data}
The data were collected from ITTF \cite{ITTF}.

\begin{thebibliography}{1}

\bibitem{J}
McGarry, T., and Franks, I.M., 
A stochastic approach to predicting competition squash match-play,
\emph{Journal of Sport Sciences}, 1994, 12, 573-584. 

\bibitem{l}
Lames, M.
\emph{Leistungsdiagnostik durch Computersimulation. [Performance diagnosis by computer simulation]}.
Frankfurt/Main: Harri Deutsch, 1991, pp. 7-257. 

\bibitem{ITTF}
International Table Tennis Federation.

\end{thebibliography}

    Hi, welcome to TeX.SX! Can you turn your snippet into a complete example, so that we can copy-paste and compile it without changing anything? (I don't mean your entire document, but add the documentclass and whatever you need from the preamble, if anything, a document environment and a \cite command or two -- it should be a minimal example.) When I add your code snippet in a minimal example of my own it works as expected, so there's something going on that you're not showing us. – Torbjørn T. Nov 30 '16 at 03:46
  • OP, it looks like you have two accounts. You should get them merged, or log in with the original one, in order to be able to edit your own posts and also interact with the site correctly (make comments down here, accept answers, earn rep and so on and so forth) – Au101 Nov 30 '16 at 03:54
  • The cause is that you've added the biblatex package, which you're not actually using. Remove \usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}, delete the .aux file, and run pdflatex again. – Torbjørn T. Nov 30 '16 at 04:00
  • You have two userid with the same nickname "Jessie T", maybe you have used "sign in" instead of "log in" to enter here the second time. The Stack Exchange staff can merge them together for you. – CarLaTeX Nov 30 '16 at 04:03

Since you appear to be building the bibliography entirely by hand, there's no point in loading the biblatex package. Instead, you should load a citation management package, such as cite, that generates numerical citation call-outs. (If you don't want to load the cite package, you could load the natbib package with the option numbers; however, you'll also have to provide a dummy \bibliographystyle instruction.) If such a citation management package is loaded, you'll be able to generate multiple citation call-outs -- sorted and compressed, if applicable -- with a single \cite command.
