BASEBALL IS LOSING

fort, While Bleaehers Are
Comparatively Empty.

When proposals are heard In the ma.
jor leagues now and then to reduce
the proportion of bleacher capacity
they are accompanied usually with the
explanation that the increased cost of
major league baseball requires II. But
now we hear a proposal from q veteran
minor league magnate that b~leachers
be abolished entirely, and 1t cannot be
exactly due to the increased cost of
minor league baseball, since the pre-.
sumption Is that various economical
measures have been inaugurnted, In.
Guiding reduced player and salary lin
its.
1t brings up the question: Are the
sun gods dying out In baseball? This
minor league magnate AYERS that they
are. and 1t might seem that conditions
In the majors give Endorsement to his
view. II has been noted that In ma.
jor league cities where the bulk of
the attendance was In the bleachcrs
In seasons past the sun seats today are
distressingly bare. Even on big days
the fans will flock to the g-andstand
and overflow 1t to discomfort, while
the bleachers present wide expanses
Of empty seats.
But we do not think II follows that
the fan who used to sit in the bleach.
ers has deserted the national game.
Rather he Is giving himself the priv.
ilege In baseball as he Is In general
living conditions of something better.
He can afford 1t and he will have what
he can afford. Perhaps then. In these
days of big money for everybody and
even hod carriers making So n day,
the uncomfortable blcachors are taboo.
They are passing, to become only n
memory of the days when the world
wasn't as good n place to live in as
1t Is now-and the former ~bleachcrite
Is becoming n grnndstand aristocrat.
And yet. the bleachers were no hard.
ship In the days when many of us
were young. We took n pride In sit.
ting nowhere else-that the grand
stand occupants were people who didn't
really know and love baseball. but Just
idlers drifting to n ball game out Of
curiosity or to kill time.
In those days, though, the bleachers
were the "close up" In baseball. Now
they give nothing but a sort of birds
eye view. and that may be a contribu-
ting factor. The fan wants to be near
the diamond. When they moved the
bleachers back and swung the grand
stands around the base lines he nat.
urally drifted to the grandstands-as
soon as he found the price.
A few years ago we would have said
that gaps In the bleachers meant de.
cline in real baseball interest, but now
we have a new viewpoint and refuse to
fret when we see the sun seats empty.
Hail the slogan Of the New Era: A
grandstand seat for every fan, and
enough money for every fan so that he
can afford 1t.

say about umpires. Among his OBJ

what ought to happen on certain stu

BRITISH VOLUNTEER FOR NEW ARMY UNIT
Recruiting Officers Receive Much
 Encouragement

London, April 4.--Thousands of the British army who recently became so war weary that they openly threat ened mutiny unless they were soon discharged have turned about face and are volunteering for the New army, according to the militarys au- thorities, who assert that they are satisfied that there will be little diff culty in securing the 100000 men who will do Great Britain's share in safe guarding the peace the Allies have won.
 The causes said to have sent the men focking back to the colors are the unexpectedly large war bonus of fered to men who take on" and the acute industrial situation. The first factor has been of prime importance in the case of boys from IS to 21 who have been two or more years already in the army and who have no trade to fall back upon in civilian life In the New army they will be fed, clothed and sheltered and draw a minimum of about five dollars Q week aS pocket money. They have quietly awakened to the realization that there is no such prospect awaiting them on a return to 'ciVies.
 
 main part in the decision of the older men. In the first rush for dem obili zation no man was permitted to go who had not a definite offer of em- p1oyment. The government did all in it's power to make certain that such offers were bona-fide, but in spite of every precaution thousands of men got their release on bogus papers. These men soon found themselves in an unenviable position. They could not get work and they faced some 1 very uncomfortable inquiries if they l applied for the out-of-work pay pro- vided for those who are idle through no fault of their own. The recruiting l sergeant was an easy road out of 1 their troubles and that astute indi- l vidual who draws a bonus for each 1 recruit was not blind to his oppor- l tunities.
 l A third factor of minor but real 1 importance is the fact that numb bers 1 of men who have been home on lib l eral leave since the armistice was 1 signed have discovered that they are 1 not nearly so happy out of khaki as 1 they imagined they would be- They frankly admit that they miss the com panionship of the army, the lack Ot responsibility and the easy hours Now that the war Is over the army is resting on its laurels and in the great camps around England "worll' is confined to one hours parade a day with football games, paper chases and other sports to fill in the remainder of the time.

 The army authorities have not SC far made public, any figures on re. cruiting, but some indication is of fered by the experience of two bat talions In one of the largest camps in the south of England. In one unit

IRISH POLICE JOIN UNION.

Dublin, April 4.-Six hundred men of the Dublin metropolitan police force have joined the British National Union of Police and Prison Officials The force altogether numbers about 1,200. '> Following the London police strike they obtained recently various concessions. Though equally under the control of the government, the Dublin police are less like a military force than the Royal Irish constabu- lary on which the maintenance of public order throughout the country depends and the constabulary are so far unaffected by trades unionisn1.

INFLAMMATION LAND CONGESTION

Begy's Mustarine contains true vel low mustard and where inflammation or congestion is indicated it more than takes the place of the good old fashioned plaster or liniment of days gone by. It cannot blister and there are no disagreeable fumes to irritate the nose and eyes.
 Just rub it on-that's all. Use it to stop headache, backache, earache and neuralgia. Rub it on those tor tured rheumatic joints for blessed re- lief-no local application can take its place.
 Always in the yellow box. Be sure to
