where markets can be found.
The opening of Canada to our
truckers and Gamers means great
deal to all of us. Here is sum-
mary of the lines of industry in
Louisiana that will be immensely
benefited by the removal or de-
crease of duties on most articles of
commerce between the United
States and Canada:
The manufacture of cotton seed
oil is Louisiana's third largest in
dustry, her annual output exceed
ing $l3,000,000. Louisiana also
ranks third among the States pro-
ducing cotton seed oil. Thus she
will be among the foremost to
profit by Canada's entire abolition
of the present tax of III per cent
on this oil. The United States al
ready sells Canada Sill 400 OF
cotton seed oil, although the duty
which these exports confront totals
100000.
Louisiana's present and pros
pective interest as swine produc-
ing State is well known. Under
the proposed reciprocity, Canada
will reduce her rate on bacon, hams,
salt pork, and lard 10y three-eights,
or from &c per pound to l 4c. In
other words she will remit $780,
600 of the $505,000 which she
taxed our hog products last year.
These products sold to Canada
were valued at 5000, 900, which
shows the strength of the Cana
dian demand for them. Louisi-
ana will benefit by the increased
Canadian trade in hog products
which will follow the reduction i'll
the Dominion's rates.
Fresh fruits and vegetables will
enter Canada free of duty under
the pending arrangement Last
wear Canada collected over half a
million dollars on the 81, l36, SOC
of fresh fruits and vegetables sold
her by the United States. Her
reluctant concession of free orchard
and garden produce will open q
fine export market for Louisiana's
celebrated early berries and melons
as we'll as for her early potatoes
sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
The. removal of all Canadian
duties on canned oysters, one OF
the largest products of Louisiana
requires no comment.
| 1t is proposed to allow fish Of
all kinds to enter the United States
free of duty. For climatic ano
other well known reasons fish is al
important food staple in Louisi
ana, and the latter will benefit whei
fish shall become less expensive
We levy almost $500,0G0 duty OF
the $4,000, 900 of fish which we ar,
forced by our home demand to i'm
port from Canada, and the amour
of the duty is of course added t
the price paid by the consumer.
Under the agreement live ami
mails will be exempted from dut
on entering this country, and meat
will be taxed at much lower rate
than at present-changes whic
will tend to reduce the cost Q
meat to our citizens.
By the reciprocity plan, grain q
all kinds will be admitted into tn
United States without duty, Will
our tariff rates on hoar and lik
products will be decreased. Thi
will ultimately keep down the cos
of -four to the American consumer
it is therefore of especial interes
to States, which. like Louisiana

HEAD Of AMATEURS
TO RESIGN OFFICE
F. w. BoIgiano,' President
Baseball Commission, Will
Retire in February.

F. w. Bolgiano president of the ANA
teIr Baseball Commission of this city,
and one of the three members of the
board of arbitration of the commission,
will tender his resignation to the COM
mission in the meeting to be held the
first week in February.
When the amateur baseball champion
ship was at a fever heat last summer,
President. Bolgiano intimated that his
resignation would be rendered at the
close of the season. Consideration has
been given the matter during the win
ter months. and President Bolgiano
says that he is through with baseball
for good, and will not be enticed into
The game again.
While the commission has known for
some time that this step would be taken
by BolgianO, nothing has been done
with regard TO the selection of a new
president. A dislnterested party who
has no connection with any team in
the many leagues will be selected TO
take charge of the commission. COM
unatiOn of circumstances last season,
coupled. with the severe illness of his
son, somewhat impaired the health of
Bolgiano, and he felt that what had
and was transpiring could not bear
repetition for him ;1r another season.
Mr.. Bolgiano has been prominently
identified with amateur baseball for the
past three seasons, and has put the
game on high plane here,H as his un-
firing efforts made it possible for the
intercity series with Philadelphia and
Kew York last season.
In connection with the meeting in
February, Presideat Bolgiano said that
he expected several important changes
to be made in the constitution of the
commission with relation to the signing
Of players for the different teams. He
also said that the commission would
take radical steps in regard to the per-
sonneI Of the teams. and that transfers
OF players would be done at headquar-
terE.
1t is expected that all nine of the
leagues under the commission would be
represented during the coming season,
and that there would be one or two
other leagues entering. Nine leagues
placed themselves in line last season,
and while the possibility of a seml-pro-
fesSional league is not out of the realm
of possibility for this year, 1t may go
far toward solving the differences which
were so apparent last season among the
amateurs.

January %. although one of it's MEM
bers, B. c. Taliaferro, is entered and
will play with C. L. Watson, Of New
York, for the Knickerbocker Club, of

Preparations are now under way for
the annual chess tourney, which will
start the latter part of this month. A
prize in the shape Of a beautiful cup

and the entries show that competition
will be keen.
The club is making elaborate prepara-
tions for the turnament of the South
ern Whist Association, which will be
held at the Arlington Hotel on May q
and 30. The officers are planning to
make this years meet the biggest af-
fair of its kind ever held in Washing
ton. The entries will be more numef-
GUS and the prizes more liberal than
ever before.
The principal matches for the men
will be for the Association Trophy
whose possession the Washington Club
now has. II is necessary that two more
legs be obtained on the cup before per-
manent ownership rests in this city

tween the annual matches, and the club
here has twice been called upon this
season to defend its right to IT and

TOME TRACK MEET
TOBE DISCONTINUED
Popular Outdoor Games
Will Not Be Held
This Year.

PORT DEPOSIT. Nd, Jan. 16.-It has
been decided by the authorities of the
Tome School for Boys to discontinue
the annual meet, which has been held
for the last seven years the second
week in May.
The annual track meet has grown to
such an extent and assumed such large
proportions that the authorities of the
school felt that 1t was impossible TO con-
tinue the meet and at the same time do
Justice to the extensive schedule of ath-
letics which has been planned this year
for the school.
Instead OF the meet that has been held
there will be scholastic track meets with
Hill School and Lawrenceville, and
some of the other large schools OF the
country.
The abandonment of the May meet
will be very much felt in Baltimore.
PhiladeIphia, and Washington, as a
number of the schools always sent
teams to Port Deposit. 1t was also the
occasion of widespread interest to n1any
persons who are not athletes.

hARQUETTELEAGU
MAY GET GROUNDS
Proposition for Obtaining
Suitable Playing Field Up
for Consideration.

Capt. c. z. Edwards, of the District
National Guard. and president of the
Marquette League of the amateur base
ball leagues, today sent out notice of
meeting to be held Friday night, at
which a reorganization of the league
would be made.
What will be done in the matter of
grounds for the league this coming sea-
son is matter of conjecture, as Rhode
Island avenue has been run through the
playing field. No new grounds have as
yet been selected, and it is more than
likely that a committee will be appoint
ed to obtain a suitable playing field for
the league
1t is understood that the full strength
of the league will be represented at the
meeting, and assurance has been given
that each team will be in line at the be-
ginning of the season.

Golfers Association
In France Unlikely

NEW YORK, Jan. 1h-The news OF
the probable formation Of a French
golf association, which comes via Lon
don, must be taken with a pinch OF
salt.
While the sport is growing among
that nation, mercurial French temper
ament is so little suited to 1t that
generation at least must pass before
It can gain much foothold there.
The French championship is usually
dominated by foreigners. The pro-
moters of the association are talking
of Joining hands with the United
States Golf Association, which item
seems to be as much of joke as that
preceding it, However, 1t cannot he
forgotten that France, in the days OF
the American revolution. Joined hands
with the colonies against England.
The political principle then at issue
taxation without representatton-was
not so very different from that under
living the golf struggle.

truth that never since boxing came into
existence has there been such a bunch
Of Queensberry goats as are now ap-
pearing nightly in the clubs of this city
and vicinity.
Boxers Violate Rules.
TN the olden days of the game, young
boxers were taught how to box in order
to avoid foul work. Judging from the
tactics of some of the modern crop of
boxers, their Queensberry education is
confined principally to instruction in
the fine points of violating every known
rule Of the game inside limit of rounds.
If bouts went twenty rounds in this
city, no doubt the goats would in
crease their foul work to meet the re-
quirements of the case.
II call these boys goats advisedly,
for nearly every one that I have seen
is an adept at butting. Whenever one
of these Angoras gets close enough to
an opponent he deftly butts him under
the chine or eye with his skull, and the
damage thus inflicted is far greater than
would result from a score of blows with
the glove. If the boxer who butts sue

does not miss any chance to use his
head to aggravate the wound. If 1t were
not for the general butting of contest
ants, cuts and blood would be much less
in evidence, and a sport that is much
less trying on opponents than several I
could name would not get its unde-
served reputation for brutality.
Victims Also Butt.
"I recently saw a bout in which one
of the contestants did little else in the
ten rounds. AS soon as the bell sent
the boys together for a round. this chap
would put down his head, rush like a
goat, grab his opponent about the neck

Some Bali Yard

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 15.-According
to G. H. Crane, of Baltimore, head
representative of Kraus & Co., of
Baltimore, Md, who is calling on
jobbers he,e, several New York
capitalists have a huge plan on
foot to convert the roof of the
mammoth new Pennsylvania de-
pot in New York city into a
baseball park.
This depot is located at the corner
of Thirty-third street and Seventh
avenue, and occupies three
squares in one direction and two
in another. 1t is located in the
center of the city, and the pro-
moters believe would make the
best ball park in the country.
Mr.. Crane states it is the plan of
the promoters to have both the
National and American Leagues
use the park. In the fall the
park would be used for football,
and in winter for winter sports.
The people would be taken up in
elevators, and in case of FIRE
would be gotten out by the way
of chutes.
Mr.. Crane states it will take an
enormous amount of money, but
the capitalists are willing to
overcome all obstacles and intend
to take the matter up with the
Pennsylvania authorities the
coming week.
