Demand is Decreasing.

A decreased consumption of American
meats in England is reported by United
States Consul Day. at Bradford. England.
"For some time past" says he, there has
been a steady decrease in the British con-
sumption of American meats. that Is. hog
products. while a corresponding or even
greater increase has occurred in the i'm
ports Of Canadian meats, and for the time
being it looks as though our packers were
rapidly losing the English trade. 1t has
previously been pointed out by a corre-
spondent that when the American packers
realize that hog products are produced to
be consumed and not to gamble with, 1t
will be better for the American provision
trade This fact is exemplifed by the
considerable shipments of stale and over
kept meats to this country, which has in
every way helped Canadians to take
firm hold on the market. One of the lead
ing importers says: The Canadian, by his
regular weekly shipments of mild and
well-selected meat, has met the popular
taste of the north of England artisan. and
close observation during the last two years
leads me to think that the business will
be done more largely with Canada and
still less with the United States These
are points which 1t will be well for our
exporters to take into consideration"

The Bureau Athletic Club Opens the
Season.

The Bureau Athletic Club opened its sea-
son yesterday afternoon at I'd street and
Florida avenue, applying coat of white
wash to the Gurley Memorials. one Of the
strongest teams in the Church League. AL
though early In the season it was quite
clear that the aggregation of ball players
collected by the Bureau managers Is to be
reckoned this season among the leading
amateur teams of the District the MEM
bers of the team themselves are quite con-
fident of being among the topnotchers.
Fulcher was in the box for the Bureaus
and pitched mastery game from start to
finish Only two hits were made off him.
not man was passed to first and five men
struck out. The fielding of the Bureau team
was as clean as is usual in the middle of
the season. and not single Guriey man
got as far as second base.
Harring started in to pitch for Gurley
and only one was made off him, but he
gave way to Burlingame in the third, and
it was in this inning the Bureaus won the
game for before the third man was put
out five runs had crossed the plate.
In the sixth inning Pickford took a turn
In the box, and during his stay three more
runs were added to the score, thus making
the score . to 0. The running catches OF
TAYLOR and Wahler. together with the hot
liner handled by Wynkoop, were the star

have attained that stage that they cannot
maintain sufficient speed to outfoot their
opponents.
There Is little doubt that the season o.
1898 will completely outstrip all preceding
records. This has been shown In the
SOUTH where the interest In the sport has
assumed almost phenomenal dimensions.
This is largely due to the fact that bas,
ball has been organized so completely.
Success in base ball would be as impossi-
BILE without organization would be labor.
Yet some decry base ball as a trust, with
cut knowing what they are talking about.
Base ball Is no trust. 1t Is simply an as
ISOLATION of organizations. Each club In
each association Is perfectly independent.
Without any territorial protection clubs
could not possibly exist. When any organ
ization fails to run. it's business in bust
ness-like way trouble Is sure to result.
The National League was in a very bad
way when the American League began
opera tons, and was Ill able to make 4
stand against 1t. With the American
League in the field the National League Is
in a better shape than it has been for
years. With the majors In accord. the mi
rors are sure to be richly benefited. ana
the result is that franchises were never
valuable in base ball as they are today.

INDUSTRIAL DECORATIONS.
Belgium Honors Workmen Who Have
Served Long and Faithfully.

In order to encourage workingmen to
faithful and continued service in the same
establishment, the Belgian government has
instituted a system of industrial decora-
lions carrying certain honors and privi-
leges 1t is prescribed that persons selected
for decoration must first have been in the
continued employment of one firm or fac
tory for a period of not less than twenty
five years. and, second, the candidate must
be recommended to the government by his
employer for faithful application and Serv-
ice during that period.
United States Consul Mentally, at Liege,
Belgium. who reports this matter to the
State Department, says in part:
This governmental recognition Of con-
tinued and faithful service is securing a
system of labor usefulness to the mand-
factories that Is far-reaching in its infiu-
ence. The Industrial decoration Is consid-
cred by the workingmen as signal dis
tinction of merit that is worth striving
for, and the evidence of its value to them
can be noticed in every workshop of any
note throughout the province of Liege. 1t
Is not an uncommon sight to see three
generations working side by side. While
the personnel of large manufacturing insti-
buttons is made up of men of all ages,
many of the trusty ones still maintain
their usefulness at eighty years of age.
whether on account of striving for this
decoration or that it is the natural dis
position Of the laboring men in this dis
trict. an atmosphere of contentment
reigns throughout the workshops even
though wages are mere pittance COM
pared to the wages paid American en-
ployes. The wages seen SUFFICIENT, how
ever. to satisfy the modest wants of the
workmen, and that they make the most
Of their environments Is plainly evidenced
by the happiness of their everyday lives.
Strikes are not prevalent in Liege. This
condition OF labor and this tranquility is
said to be due to the encouragement Of
the government In reward1ug long and
faithful servieo.s

HITS AT BALK RULE
BELIEVES CHAMPIONS WILL BE

Grimshaw Likely to Replace La Chance
at First-Moneymaking Intercity
Series-Spit Ball Spreading.
BY j. G. MORSE.

BOSTON, April There are now three
stages in the work of ;he major league
base ball clubs-the first in the south, get
ting into shape, the second, the games
just preceding the championship race, in
which some of the teams. St Louis ana
Philadelphia. have intercijy games for the
local championship Owing to the failure
of the owner OF the New York Nationals
to bring himself to a position to realize
that such series in New York wouli
work great good for the game. there are
no games in New York city. but the day
is not so far off when the two clubs OF
that city will get together President
Brush of the Nationals was quick to see
how emphatic was the demand the
part of the public for a series between
his club and the American League cham
pions last fall but he was too late in his
response. He offered to play in the spring,
but his offer was net accepted. and then
he turned down a proposition from the
New York Americans which was eninently
the proposition to accept. Five cities now
have both National and American League
teams. There is bitter feeling in Chicago
between the owners of the two clubs there,
but this may pass away in the fall. 1t
has teeu the practice in Chicago to play
a series in the fail and the failure to
have such a series means just 50 much
money out for the owners and the players
of both teams. 1t is petty, to say the
least
Formerly the interest in these local
games was greater by far in Philadelphia
than in any other city. and the old state
OF things now bids fair to be renewed,
owing to the fact that the Phillies have
been decidedly strengthened, and are now
In condition to give the American Lea
guers a good. hard battle 1t will add

If it can make the better showing of the
two clubs in the series to be played, and
with anything like fair weather the turn
outs at these games are sure to be very
good indeed.
In St Louis it will be most interesting
to remark the showing of the colts of the
st. Louis Americans. for a decided change

Play Against Southern Teams.

Not few have been the defeats of ma
jor leaguers at the hands of their oppo-
nents of southern leagues. and the rooters
the major leaguers try to win. They do, all
the same. only they are not playing the
game they will play so soon as the cham
pionship season opens. In the preliminary
games the major league pitchers are most
cautious not to extend themselves. They
restrict their delivery. and the opposing
batsmen have a far better chance to meet
the balls than the major leaguers. against
whom the local pitchers spare no effort.
Some OF the clubs who make the best
showing against the major leaguers in the
spring find it a difficult matter to hold
their own in their own league Montgom-
cry looked very good to the critics
year ago, but was not in the race for fist
place.
The foul strike rule gives the minors
splendid opportunity to meet the maj rs
on even terms. This rule is a great re-
Queer of run-getting. 1t can be safely said
that never in the history OF the game will
runs be so decidedly at premium as they
will be in the season of 1905. Few used
the spit ball last season. 1t will be the
aim of every pitcher to use it in the COM
ing campaign. McGraw is credited with
saying he is not afraid of it, and he seems
to laugh at it, but there is no ground given
to him to make fun of It. 1t is here and
here to stay. In forthcoming practice
games it will be used. and it will be in
teresting to mark the result. Jack" Ches-
bro Is a better authority on the matter of
the use of this ball than McGraw, and the
great New York pitcher says he will be
more effective with 1t this year than he
was last. So will Dineen and others. The
less the run-getting the better the chance
