NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD
BASEBALL HARD Times
National Commission Puts Blame for
Big Loss in Receipts on
Federal League

In his annual report to the clubs of
The National and American Leagues Au-
gust Hermann, chairman of the Ma
tional Commission, admits that the ac-
tivity of the Federal League last season
caused in large measure depreciation
in baseball. Of course, Mr.. Hermann
says 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
blow.
Notwithstanding the business depres-
sion and the operation of a rival league,
the amount paid to minor leagues for
players drafted or purchased was prac-
tically as much as in former years.
The minor leagues benefited to the
amount of 500, 200 on account of draft
ing of players by the major leagues,
and $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, 9,664.45, and the dis
bursements were $6S,17S.0S. 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 $4,000 and
the second time the minors borrowed
$4,000.

Quicksilver

The ore from which quicksilver is
obtained is brilliant red rock known
as cinnabar. When of high purity it
is actually vefmilion in color. CHINA
bar is the original source of the pig
ment known commercially as vermil-
ion. 1t is compound of sulphur and
quicksilver, and in order to separate
the latter from the sulphur the rock is
roasted. Passing off in the form of
gas, the mercury is afterward con
densed and flows out in fine stream,
like continuous pencil of molten sill
yer. Like gold and silver, mercury is
occasionally found in native or pure
state. Sometimes the miners 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
Gus occupation.
