Field Glasses
Needed by Men
In y. S. Navy

In the lockers of every clubhouse at
the racetracks, and stored away with
the togs of every racegoer, there is apt
to be found pair of good field glasses
which right now can be OF great SER
vice to Americas fighting men. The
navy is in urgent need Of binoculars,
spyglasses and telescopes. More "eyes"
are needed on shipboard than ever be-
fore to maintain the constant and eff
fcient lookout for the submarine.
Sextants and thermometers are also
States drew it's supply Of these articles
from foreign countries. This stock is
no longer to be had. The new methods
of naval warfare make the need of
glasses more essential than ever be-
fore. Through the papers of the coun-
try an appeal was made several weeks
ago, and this resulted in the receipt Of
over six thousand glasses of various
kinds. This number is insufficient.
The navy needs many thousands
more. So the appeal is repeated to
lovers of the sport Of kings and to
their patriotism to furnish more "eyes
tor the navy" AS the government can
not under the law accept services Or
material Wlthou. making some pay
ment, one dollar will be paid for
each article accepted, which sum will
constitute the rental price or, in the
event of loss, the purchase price of
the glasses.
All articles should be securely
tagged, giving the name and address
of the donor, and forwarded by mail
or express to Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, care
OF Naval Observatory, Washington, so
that they may be acknowledged
Those not suitable for naval use
will be returned to the sender Those
accepted will be keyed, so that the
name and address Of the donor will be
permanently recorded at the Navy De-
partment. and every effort will be made
to return them, with added historic
interest, at the termination of the war.
1t is, of course, impossible to guarantee
them against damage or loss.

Larry Chappe|le,
$4,000 Beauty
A Big Failure

Since his departure from the Mil
waukee Club, which sent him to the
White Sox for the reported sum of
$4,000, Larry Chappelle has been a
dismal failure. The Columbus Club
has Chappelle slated for the Pacific
Coast next season, but the big French
man Will refuse to make the trip.
President A. f. Timmc of the Mil
waukec Club is of the opinion that a
man Of Chappclle's type is a detri-
ment to any club. When asked for his
reasons for Larry's continual failure,
Owner Timme said:
Prosperity has kept Chappelle from
climbing to the top. He was fortunate
to acquire large sum of money, and
thereby be relieved of any worry for
the future. He inherited 600 acres of
the richest soil somewhere in Illinois
from his grandfather, who died several
years ago"
Apparently other association mag
mates are fully aware now of Larry's
falllngs and arc not eager to acquire
his services.
The realization that he has a com
Portable residence on Easy Street has
made Chappelle an INDECENT player. ac-
cordlng to President Timme. He does
not possess any true spirit, but merely
IS contented to hang on" and receive
his monthly stipend
although Of military age, it is doubt
full if Chappclle will be accepted for
service. The case of blood poisoning
which he contracted immediately after
joining the White Sox has had an
after-efect, and this may earn for the
Frenchman discharge on physical
disability. according to Timme.
