May 21.—A cablegram L juM raealyod Iwtra by » Thomas Upton from the New York Yacht flub definitely accepted 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.” BOXING News of the Ring Game SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT The Judge Gets an Earful of Suffragette Doings CoDjrrlfht, 1913, International News Service* By Tad I VNEJ-t-'VN^AT 00 G Ger fou. this l case - I’M A 1 W76K pR»cet> I-AsaJMER-.'VO'J c SH-E -U-L.

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. BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip Cincinnati would like to trade Suggs ‘ ■ - dn- Cincii and Egan for Sweeney, says nail paper. Of course.

Ty Cobb Q) O Has Another Big Day © © Pulls Everything T on Calendar 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 ious to buzz around in the benzine 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.
