NEW RUBBER AND

New rubber and leather camp bags
which may be easily made at home for
the camper, hunter, or auto tourist are
described by Il. NJ. Forburgh in the cur
rent issue of Hunter-Trader- Trapper,
published at Columbus. Ohio
The leather bag lis convenient for
carrying luggage from one point to
another, even when the luggage is al
ready in a contsiner of some kind. like
tin can, box, roll. and SO on. be-
cause the rope run through the top
of the bag makes a ine handle by
which to carry it, says Mr.. Forbush
The weight of the bag is not an extra
burden. The bag with the large tin

INDUSTRIAL LIST
ON OLD FOOTING

New York, Sept, with its mind
relieved about the labor situation
Wall street has got back to the same
exuberant mood that II was in n
month and half ago. The main thing
about the market position which has
not been properly appreciated is that
there WAS no real distribution OF stock
during the boom OF June and July.
When the railway brotherhood
launched their revolutionary demands,
the inside pools were caught just as
badly prepared as were the outside pub
lie The POOLS stood aside and let the
selling movement take its course. But
they did not hold their stocks and
their resources were unimpaired.
Just as soon AZ the clouds lifted
they were able to take hold again and
in the last two weeks have done such
quick work that they have put large
part Of the industrial list back on equal
footing with and in many cases con-
siderably higher than the best prices
OF July.
1t has probably been one of the
worst lessons bear party has ever re-
ceived. The profits made on the short
side In the August break have been
turned to severe losses. Those who re-
fused to abandon their confidence in

NO PROFITEERING
IN WORLDS SERIES
"Players Will Obtain Lions
Share Of Receipts" Says
Garry Hermann.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 22.--According to
President Hermann of the Cincinnati
Reds. nine games for the worlds cham
pionship will benefit the players more
than their employers. In fact. Herr
mann declares that under certain cir
cumstances his club may Nlose money
He explains the situation in this man
ner:
Prom a ticket costing $500 the dis
tribution Is as follows: Sixty cents
goes to the Government as the war tax !;
10 per cent of the remaining IS goes
to the National Commission. leaving
$40. Sixty per cent of this amount
goes to the ball players. which leaves
sf1e. Fifty per cent. OF this amount
goes to the other clubs in the two
leagues for division, leaving exactly
$1.0S to be divided equally between the
two pennant winning clubs. 1t will be
seen that the share of the Cincinnati
club from the highest priced seat on the
grounds Is only 81 cents, or less than
the war tax. That doesn't look as II the
club was profiteering.
1--WE have already receYed more than
100000 applications for seats. and we
cannot accommodate at the park more
than $4,000 people at the outside. With
this tremendous interest, 1t seemed best
to us to give the players who brought
the pennant here as much reward as
possible. and It Is mainly for them that
the prices have been fixed at the figures
announced. They will be the ones to
reap the largest percentage of the re-
ceipts from the series.
The Cincinnati club will get Just 8
per cent of the receipts from the first
five games and only 22 per cent. from
the receipts Of any subsequent games.
We are building extra boxes and
bleacher seats at an expense of about
$4,000 and our return from the sale of
these seats will not begin to pay for
their erection.
I'VE are doing this in order that as
many fans as possible may see the
games, and we are not doing il for
profit, but at an actual loss to the club.
when we have taken in 100000 at
the gate the Cincinnati club will re-
ceive for its share of that amount just
$4,000"
