CATTLE EXPORTS
SHOW DECREASE:
Department of Commerce
Makes Statistical
Report

Washington April 20.-The United
States was exporting more than SO times
as much fresh beef and cattle six years
ago as it sends abroad today as shown
by statistics made pubic today by Score
tary Redfield of the department of com
merce
In the first nine months of the present
fiscal year ending March 81 there was ex-
ported only 5479. 43a pounds of fresh beef
and 1888 pounds of cattle, as compared
with 200,069,729 pounds of fresh beef and
726 pounds of cattle in the same
months of 1907. The intervening years
reveal uninterrupted decreases.
Another feature of the report is tha
statement that while the population of the
country has increased IL per cent since
1907, the number of beef cattle had de-
creased 80 per cent; furthermore, 900, 900
head of cattle came into the country in
the first eight months this year, against
only 1850 in 1907.
In the calendar year past the United
States exported 100000 pounds of fresh
beef, while Argentine sent 10000, 900
pounds; Australia. 100000; New Zealand
q, 100000 pounds, and Uruguay q, 200, 900.
To the United Kingdom Argentina sent
100000 pounds, against $4,000 pounds
from this country. The number of beef
cattle in the United States in 1907 was
5150O,0O0; today 1t is 36.000,000.
The United States surpa ssed its rivals
however, In prices obtained, having re-
ceived last year for beef exported an av-
erage of 11.67 cents pound, against 4aS
cents for Argentina, 493 for Australia
and 5.26 for New Zealand beef

Review OF First Week In
Circle OF Major Leagues

New York, April 20.-Reasonably good
baseball weather during the last few
days after an opening period of misti-
ness which caused no less than 20 post
ponements within a week, has acceler-
ated the shaking down" process in the
two major leagues. The clubs arc grad
ually finding their respective levels,
although the results of schedule en-
barrassments are visible in the per-
centage tables These daily computa-
tions can hardly be expected to give a
abilities of the teams until the first
all round series of engagements has
been completed.
The National league list, with Phil
adelphia, New York, Pittsburg and
Chicago showing first division class,
looks the more natural of the two
tables. One of the big features of the
weeks play has been the rise of the
Giants from last place to near the
top of the column. Philadelphia. in the
lead, has had only Brooklyn to con-
tend with and all its games have been
won by one run margins. Pittsburg has
devoted its principal attentions to Gin
cinnati. 1t found the Reds a hard club
to beat, but got away with three COM
pleted games.
Chicago could do no better than
break even with st. Louis, but had the
edge in the series with Pittsburg
The Brooklyns are showing their
usual proeilivity for losing games by a
lsingle run and have been doing little
effective batting. Cincinnatis lost
games have mostly gone by close scores.
The Bostons, while fighting bravely,
seemed outelassed in their recent games
with the Giants. st. Louis still may

be put down as an uncertain quantity
Again the remarkable struggle be-
tween Philadelphia and Boston fea-
turned the week in the American
league. The advantage has been All
with the Mack men. Boston having taken
only one game of the five so far played.
The form shown is just the reverse OF
last years when the Red Sox feat Of
trimming the Athletics in 10 out of =
games proved big factor in the for
mer's success in winning the league
pennant.
The Washingtons breezed through the
week without a defeat and hold tile
undisputed lead in their league. Their
hustling game and the fine work OF
their pitchers proved too much for the
New Yorks. Cleveland is showing al
around strength. The advent of Falz-
enberg in form has given the pitching
staff a substantial strengthening. ST.
Louis and Detroit have both been play
ing uneven ball with the Browns show
ing the better form thus far. Chicago
next to Cleveland has shown best Of
the western teams. New York's lone
victory was scored at the expense or
Boston. Frank Chances cripples far
have found the Washingtons unbeatable
opponents. The infeld problem of this
club still perplexes.
Uncertainties still hover about two
of the most distinguished present day
eXponents of the game-one in each
league. Tyrus Cobb is still a hold -out,
but there have been recent intimations
that the breach between the speedy
player and the Detroit club was in the
way of being healed. The case of Hans
Wagner also excites wide interest Tie
veteran shortstop was back in the
game for one day, but his injury still
bothers him greatly. Should he fail to
round into playing form a gap in the
Pittsburg fnfield would be caused which
that club would hnd 1t hard to fill and
which might materially affect the
teams pennant chances.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb may or may

follows: Atlanta, Birmingham, New

American league prediction follows:

Cobb, the National race win conclude
as follows: New York, Pittsburg,

Brooklyn, Boston and st. Louis. All
of this according 10 Cobb
1t is reported, however, that Cobb
will go to Detroit this week and talk
a little matter over with President

The Commission Settles
Atldntd-Henphlll Case

The commission also reopened the
case of the Atlanta and Columbus clubs
whereby a decision was previously
made by which Columbus paid Atlanta
$500 for the release of Hemphill. The
commission holds that $3.50 of this must
be returned to the Columbus club. The
Columbus club sold Hemphill to the
St Paul club for $3.50 and it was the
difference between this sale and the
amount paid by Columbus that the
commission ruled was due Columbus.
The reason for this, according to the
commission, is that the player was not
in physical condition to play when he
was sold by Atlanta.
