Thomas Upton from the New

his* challenge for ;
for the America’,
delighted upon re
yacht race in 1914
cup. Upton was
ept-
eipt of the
ance of his challenge.
The race will be sailed In Septem
ber. 1914. The New .Yorkers will dic
tate the rules as to measurements,
time allowances and racing rules.
Upton will at once got into com
munication with the beat boat build
ers in England.
Sir Thomas considers that the
conditions of acceptance of his chal
lenge by the New York Yacht flub
are a gr^at victory for him. He says
they will enable him to build a good,
seaworthy boat.
It is still a question whether Sir
Thomas will be allowed to tow his
yacht across the Atlantic.
Asked whether he thought the de
fenders would meet him with a big
ger boat than the challenger, Sir
Thomas replied:
‘That does not give me the least
worry. They have always treated me
in the most generous and sportsman
like spirit.”
The New York Yacht Club’s ac
ceptance of the challenge says:
"The races are to be sailed as you
suggested, under our present rules of
measurement, time allowance and
racing rules, it being understood that
the rule requiring a yacht to rate at
fb<- highest limit of her class in cer
tain cases shall not apply' to this
match.”

Opposite Third National Bank.
Bv "Chief” Meyers
(Star catcher of the Giants and one
of the greatest hitter6 in the
National League.)
B ATTING ability is tbo high art
of baseball. True skill with the
Ptick hides many a minor fault.
Brilliancy in all other lines pales into
nothingness if not backed by at least I
average hitting power.
"Can he hit?” is the universal ques
tion which greets the announcement
of every new arrival to the game. The
three magic words embody the chief j
concern of scout, manager and pub
lic.
There is a so-called axiom in our
profession that "hatters are born, not j
made.” I disagree with such logic.
There is the same opportunity for im- |
provement in batting as in fielding
or base running. The sphere may be
just a trifle more limited because phy
sical equipment enters more strongly
into the calculations.
Not every one, of course, no mat
ter how studious, may become a Ty
Cobb or a Bonus Wagner. And 1t 1s
a mighty good thing for tfcic pitch
ers and catchers that this is ro. Few
athletes have the lightning speed of
Cobh, which enables him to heat
plenty of infield raps which would
be easy outs against average runners.
Few again have the muscular power
of Wagner, which enables him to
drive the ball with rifle-like velocity.
Nevertheless, serious study and
painstaking practice will go a long
way toward overcoming the majority
of physical handicaps.
.300 Notch Real Feat.
When one stops to consider condi
tions, a .300 batting average strikes
home as real achievement. It means
hitting safely three times in every
ten chances. The batsmen. singie- <
handed, must fight an army of obsta- j
elcs In the first place he has a per
fectly round stick with which to pro
pel a perfectly round ball thrown
from a distance of 65 feet with all
the force of human power.
He lias approximately half a second
from the time the ball leaves the
pitcher’s fingers until it is up to him.
In that half second he must swing his
bat so that the curved surfaces of
the two objects (bat and ball) meet
fairly in the middle of their respec
tive lines of flight. If he hits the least
fraction of an inch under the hall it
means a fly of some sort—either foul
or fair.
Now there are nine agile and active
opponents so distributed throughout
the playing field that any sort of
high fly means certain retirement.
If the batter hits a fractional inch
over the ball bo sends it down to
the ground, where the speed is
checked, and where it is generally
quite easy for one of the inflelders
to Intercept it.
Add to these complications a skilled
pitcher who can make the hall vary
many ways in its flight to the plate,
and that little half second of grace
dwindles almost into nothingness. The
wonder then is that so many reach
the select class.
Swing of Natural Hitter.
Still there are certain principles
of batting science that will help to
overcome these obstacles. The most
important, to my mind, is that of
meeting the ball in front of the body.
This is no more than the swing of
the player who is termed the natural
hitter. Zimmerman. Wagner. Lajole,
Doyle and Cobb all employ the style.
Some of them may do it ail un
consciously. I know I did for sev
eral years before 1 joined the Giants.
I always hit the ball very hard. Me*
Graw pointed out to me the reason.
He drills and drills this idea into his
men morning, noon and night. Mc-
Gravv has developed a number of
high'diMis hitters from average ma
terial.
A1 Brldwell is a player that I would
term a "made” hitter. In a pinch he
was one of our most trusty batsmen,
for be was sure to play every shade
in bis own favor Brldwell became
j proficient by learning to meet the
ball in front of himself.
Here arc some of the advantages
of this style of swing. More power
I is behind the thrust, for the entire
we ight of the body is called into play
in reaching forward to meet the ball.
It is naturally the very steadiest pos^
sible attitude, for it does not handi
cap the eye. The line of vision does
not change, as would be the case if
one let the hall come up even to the
plate. It will be readily appreciated
that a style which permits the most
advantageous use of such an impor
tant factor as eyesight is one of un
usual merit.

yy COBB had another one of his
“bad” days yesterday. He didn’t
do a blooming thing against
the Athletics—outside of getting two
doubles and a triple in three trips to
the plate, stealing second and nqme
in the pinch, scoring three runs, in
cluding the winning tally, in the tenth
inning. And, besides, he made four
sensational catches in center field.
m m m
A great ninth inning rally won for
the Naps over the Senators yesterday,
after they seemed hopelessly beaten.
The Naps used eighteen players, in
cluding five pitchers.
* * *
The Cardinals practically bunted
Christy Mathewson out of the box
yesterday and won from the Giants
8 to 0. The St. Louis boys made seven
bunts in two innings, throwing the
Giant infield up in the air and scor
ing four runs.
* • *
Hans Wagner played against the
Dodgers yesterday. Of course he won.
Hans walked to the plate with the
bases full and delivered a swat that
cleared them.

The defeat of the Dodgers yester
day and the victory of the Phillies
widened the gap between first and
second place in the old league.

Claiming that the Senators violated
the league rule of having 26 players
on its roster. President Johnson yes
terday ordered that one of the play
ers be chased off the bench and out
of his uniform. ‘‘Nick’’ Altrock, the
veteran pitcher and club comedian,
was the chased person.

Brooklyn fans are so delighted with
the showing of the Dodgers that thev
have started a popular subscription
to buy Jack Daubert, captain and first
baseman, an automobile.
* * •
When Connie Mack, manager of the
Athletics, heard about the Daubert
auto fund, he at once wired President j
Ebbetts. of the club: "Don’t let them i
do it; it’s bad luck.” Connie always
has blamed automobiles for the long
losing streak encountered by th.
Athletics at the beginning of last
season.
* * *
With the money won in the world’s
series in 1911, the Quakertown boys
bought autos, and Connie has often
declared that the boys were so anx

buggies that they forgot all about
baseball.

The Phillies hammered Fromme
from the box in the third inning of
the game against the Reds yesterday.
Packard, who took up the pitching
chores, held the Quakertown boys in
check, but they already had amassed
enough runs to insure victory.

The Red Sox are slowly but surely
creeping along. They have jumped
into fifth place and are now only 26
points behind the Athletics. A week
ago the difference was nearly 45
points.
PREP LEAGUE NOTES
The Tech athletes who returned from
the S. A. A. meet at New Orleans
say that if Jr.e Logan had not fallen on
the last hurdle in the 1 20-yard race
lie would easily have established a new
Southern record for that event. The
man who passed .Joe when he •fell beat
the old mark by 1-5 of a second, and
Logan was six feet ahead of him when
he hit the last hurdle.
* * *
Although the bases were full with no
outs in the ninth inning of a game
Monday, G. M. C. could not score, and
the game was won by Riverside 3 to 0.
Williamson, Riverside’s all-prep pitch
er, gave up only three hits and fanned
19 batters.
* * *
The Southern prep season is fast
nearing a close, and Riverside has yet
to meet its first defeat this year. The
team has the remarkable record of
winning nineteen straight games.

The University of Florida had a hard

When we got the Quaker Extract
we decided to give her some also,
as it is for worms as well as stom

the girl expelled nearly a handful
of small stomach worms. She is
feeling better and is gradually gain

a mighty good medicine.”
