HERMANN SEES
BRIGHT OUTLOOK
CHAIRMAN OF NATIONAL BASE
BALL COMMISSION. THINKS
1912 WILL BE THE BAN
NER YEAR.

If 1912 doesn't prove baseballs ban
ner year, | shall be disappointed. says
August Hermann, chairman OF the
National Commission.
Baseball has not reached its full de-
velopment, not by great deal No
man can say what its limitations are.
do not think the prediction Of y. G..
Spalding. that baseball will one day
be the worlds sport, is too rosy, al
though this Is long way off.
The new agreement of the major
and minor leagues has brought about
a more harmonious understanding that
cannot help improve the game.
This agreement has improved the
position of the player, the man who
plays the game and this means i'm
proved playing. This means, in turn,
a more thoroughly satisfied public, and
never forget it is the public really
makes the national game.
One sign of the times is the splen-
did new fields and the housing ac-
commodation for patrons, in major
league cities. Rome, when spectacles
were the life of the people never
dreamed of such places Her games
and gladiatorial contests were staged
in less pretentions enclosures than the
new homes of many clubs.

eress Of the game. Thousands who
remained away rather than submit to
discomfort and dirt will attend the
game regularly. Everything that can
be done TO make surroundings attrac-
tive to men and women. has been pro-
vided and the modern ball park is as
comfortable as a theater.
The calibre of young players who
have come into the major leagues this
year is. seemingly, large. and the races
season were dangerous have been
strengthened in their weak points and
anticipate a red hot struggle until
the final day.
Last year was disastrous for several
minor leagues. due chiefly TO the feel
ing Of prosperity aud the desire TO
forget salary limits. Managers learn
cd a valuable if costly lesson and this
season will avoid the errors which
made trouble. With good weather
the minors should be as prosperous,
in comparison. as the major leagues.
| shall be very much surprised If
any National or American league club
n. axes n runaway race In fact, each
league is more evenly balanced than
ever before and that any one of four
or five teams is apt to win the pennant
in either league.

COUNCIL is PEaPLExEp.
Unable to Ascertain What Liquor Ii.
censes TO Reject.

The Laurium council Is sorely per
picked There were presented at last
evenings meeting twenty-nine appli-
cations for liquor licenses. five more
applications than the number of sa-
looms In operation last year. In the
light OF the recent ruling Of the SUI
preme court Of the state to the effect
that all cities and villages must get
down TO basis of one saloon for ev-
cry five hundred inhabitants. only
eighteen applications may be granted,
1t is believed that the council is
anxious To conform to the provisions
of the Warner Champion law as inter-
rreted by the highest tribunal of the
state which would entitle the village
TO eighteen saloons and it does not
seem possible that the five new IL
censes desired may be granted this
year. II the number Of saloons is to be
reduced TO eighteen, il will be impos-
sible to grant licenses TO six of those
in business last year. Sixteen of the
present saloon keepers were in bust
ness when the Warner Champion act
went into effect in 1909 and are there
fore entitled to new licenses, provid-
ed their bondsmen meet with the
councils approval. But in selecting the
two saloonists to whom licenses may
be issued to make up the eighteen.
some difficulty is being experienced.
SO much time was devoted TO the
consideration of this question in exc
cutive session last evening, that it was
deemed wise to defer the making of
appointments for the ensuing year no
decision was reached at last evening $
meeting relative to the saloon licenses
and the meeting was adjourned until
Thursday afternoon at l o'clock.

BEEF TO Bring
HIGHER PRICES
WHOLESALE PRICES ALREADY
ADVANCED THOUGH RE-
TAIL MARKET HAS NOT
BEEN HIT.

Higher prices for beef are predicted
by the wholesalers for the very near
future. The advance is already noted
ia the Chicago markets, and while SO
far IL has not affected the local retail
market, IL present conditions continue
it is likely to do so i'm very short
time
The shortage of cattle, especially
prime beef steers is given as the rea-
son for the advance. The winter has
been a severe one and the farmers and
cattlemen have found 1t almost as
profitable to sell their corn as To feed
il to the cattle. This and the fact that
the floods in the middle west and the
poor roads are making 1t difficult for
cattlemen to bring their stock to the
markets, have combined to reduce the
supply considerably, according 10 a
well known wholesale man who dis
cussed the situation yesterday. AS an
illustration. il might be cited that last
Friday only 40.700 cattle entered the
Chicago stockyards. compared with
4S.493 one year ago. Last Fridays
total was the smallest since December.
1910
The effect of this shortage ON the
market was to cause the ruling quota
tions TO advance sharply on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, to about So
cents per pound for prime cattle on the
hoof. When the cost OF dressing the
cattle is taken into consideration. in
addition to the transportation costs,
Il can readily be seen that the price
per pound reaches dangerously near
the present retail prices and that an
advance may come.
Another feature which has bearing
ON the situation is the passing of lent
ana the Jewish Passover, with the con-
sequent increase which. according 20
those familiar with the trade amounts
To- considerable.
The consumers are themselves
largely to blame for the shortage Of
meat, according TO the wholesaler
here quoted. The demand for the
ohoicer cuts of beef greatly exceeds in
proportion the demand for the cheaper
cuts. and as the packer naturally ca
ters to the consumer. there is more
waste now than In the bygonc days.
Another factor which contributes
even more to the high cost of meat is
found i'm the demand for veal. II the
public would refrain entirely from eat
ing veal for a period of six months,
the price of meat would drop several
cents, according to the wholesaler.
Calves would then be allowed to grow
to maturity. increasing the present
supply many times. But as long as
the public must have the tender veal
outlet and the choicest cuts of meat,
