National Commission Puts Blame for
Big liosg in Receipts on
Federal League
In his annual report to the clubs of
Ihe National and American Leagues Au
gust Herrmann, chairman of the Na
tional Commission, admits that the ac
tivity of the Federal iieague last season
caused in a large measure a depreciation
in baseball. Of course, Mr. Herrmann
eays that industrial and commercial
complications which followed the Euro
pean war affected the patronage
throughout the country, but it was the
[Federal League that dealt the hardest
tilow.
Notwithstanding the business depres
sion and the operation of a rival league,
the amount paid to minor leagues for
jilayers drafted or purchased was prac
tically as much as in former years.
The minor leagues benefited to the
nmount of $90,200 on account of draft
ing of players by the major leagues,
uud $141,050.64 was paid out for the
(purchase of the release of players in all
leagues.
The total receipts of the Commission
last year were $69,664.45, and the dis
bursements were $68,178.08. Most of
this was used for salaries, the umpires
getting the biggest share. The report
also shows that the Commission twice
came to the aid of the International
League. The first loan was $3,000 and
the second time the minors borrowed
$2,500.
HARVARD'S PAYING SPORTS
Football in 1913 Shows Profit of
Nearly
Cambridge, Mass., March 3. It cost
Harvard about $2 00 per man to develop
the football team of eighteen men who
assisted Charley Brickley to score five
field goals against Yale "in the stadium
in 1913. This report of the Harvard
•Athletic Association for the year ending
Hulv 31, 1914, showed that football
receipts amounted to $94,494.97 and
expenses to $34,511. The receipts fell
$20,000 below that of the previous
year, which Graduate Treasurer Moore
says was due to the weak schedule and
?>ad weather.
Varsity baseball, track and tennis
courts showed a fair profit. The $60,-
000 profits from football went to sup
port a variety of minor sports. The re
ceipts accruing from all sports was
$143,065.51. aud the expenses $136,-
902.93, leaving a profit of about $6.-
162.88. The amount on hand in July,
11914, was $36,650.06.

Quicksilver
The ore from which quicksilver is
obtained is a brilliant red rock known
as cinnabar. When of high purity it
is actually vermilion in color. (Jinna
bar is the original source of the pig
ment known commercially as vermil
ion. It is a compound of sulphur and
quicksilver, and in order to separate
the latter from the sulphur the rock is
roasted. Passing off in tho form of a
gas, the mercury is afterward con
densed and flows out in a fine stream,
like a continuous pencil of molten sil
ver. Like gold and silver, mercury is
occasionally found in a native or pure
state. Sometimes the miner's pick
penetrates a cavity that contains a
cupful or more of the elusive and beau
tiful fluid. Miners suffer much from
the poisonous effects of the quicksilver
fumes. Extreme cleanliness is the best
safeguard for workers in this danger
ous occupation.

"That's nice," prompted the prou *

her, dear?"
"Oh," replied the cherub, "when
Catherines naughty I punish her! "
