Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBErr

Owning a baseball club is a lot of sport-but it's a rather expensive one.' commented Charlie Weeghman, who re- gently resigned the presidency of the Cubs
 q would like to have remained as an active executive in the game. but my other business affairs would not per- init it." he added. Conditions in the restaurant business have made it abso- lutely necessary for me to give my time henceforths to the management of my restaurants"
 Weeghman, although no longer an of- ficer of the Cubs, is still a large stock holder-probably to the extent of $500, eco.
 How much did your venture intosbase- ball cost you?' Weeghman was asked
 That's a question that I can't answer with any degree of definiteness," replied Weeghman. "I have been in the game for five years and have spent a big sum of money in travelling expenses and incidentals. But-never in all that time have I drawn out dollar from the treasury of either of my clubs. As presi- dent of the Chicago Feds and later of the Chicago Cubs, I had a right to ask for reimbursement for travelling expenses. But I alwayS. paid the personal bills out or my own pOChet. During the liVe yearsNI traleved considerably and guess the average annual expenditure was in the neighborhood of &0,000 or $12,0O0.
 My venture into baseball was really brought about by Jim Gilmore. We were playing game of golf one day in Chi cago and Jim told me he had become in- terested in the Federal league and want ed me to join with him. Jim said if put up s26,oo0 I would get a large inter- est in the Chicago Feds and that he didiTEth think that it would be necessary for me to advance any more money.
 Ever since the Federal league quit operations, many different stories have been published as to just how much money my venture cost me. I have seen some articles which said that lost half million dollars in real cash. Others have ranged the amount down to s250 GOO. Now I'll give you the inside story:
 My connection with the Chicago Feds cost me exactly S60,000 dead loss, exclu- sive of what paid out of my own pocket for my personal travelling expenses. Of course, I had a big sum of money in- vested in the ball park in Chicago, but

said the lake division, composed of Ohio. Kentucky and Indiana, had reached total of 729,S23 members.
 The Pennsylvania-Delaw division late today had enrolled 225,345 members with many chapters to be heard~from. The Pacific division, including Cali fornia. Arizona and Nevada, had regis tered 100000 up to noon today. Re- ports%tonight from other divisions showed: Northwestern division: Oregon, Washington and Idaho, 120, 900, with re- suits in Idaho unreported. Southern di- vision. Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Tennessee 129, ,393. Mountain division: Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico, 43,S41. From the central division, which included Michi- gan, Illinois. Iowa and Wisconsin, came the report that every one of the 39.000 persons in Webster county, Iowa, had registered by night Monday, the first day of the campaign.
 On the eve of his departure for Eu- rope Henry F. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross war council, tonight issued the following statement to the Ameri- can people:
 T am sailing tomorrow for Europe at the request of the President to rep resent the American Red Cross, and as I leave I have a supreme confidence that the spirit of mercy and human sympa- thy which the people of the world have ascribed to the American people will shine forth when the world once more learns of their devotion to Red Cross ideals. Enrollmen in the Red Cross by every man, woman and child will mean more to-the world today than ever be- fore.
 Millions of pleading, wistful faces are turned toward us today, and only by answering that mute appeal by uni- versal enrolment in the Red Cross can we show our sympathy and our vote for a kindlier, gentler world in the days to come"

that was not loss. In fact, it perhaps will result in making big money for me. The price of real estate all through the Northsde of Chicago where the park Is located is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it wouldn't be surprising if the ball park valuation within the next two or three years would be at least triple that which I paid for it.
 ''It may seem strange to some for me to say it, but the fact is I was a whole lot happier in my Federal league con nections than with the National. AL though I realized few months after l became identified with the Federal league that it was losing proposition, didn' t worry much about it. In fact, it ap- pealed to me as fun. There was gen uine feeling of comradeship among the Fed owners and all of the boys were good losers. Most of the men involved in the Federal league went into base ball not with the idea of making money, but merely to have a little sport out of it. All of us knew that we were due 1 to suffer some big losses, but I guess most of us figured that the sport we got out of it more than recomQensed us. And it did"

The scissors shell has an opening in
the casing through which the cutting
arms project. They are slightly re.

mounted on steel studs in such a man

at the base Of the shell.
The fuse Is made in the ordinary
way, and behind 1t is chamber for

and they cut through any object with

You hang an immense four-cosner-

a pulley, turn a handle, and drop the
net into the sea. After time, which
may vary according to the mood you
