I ONDON, May 21.—A cablegram
Just received here by Sir
Thomas Upton from the New
York Yacht Club definitely accepted
his challenge for a yacht race in 1914
for the America’s cup. Upton was
delighted upon receipt of the accept
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 get into com
munication with the beat boat build
ers in England.
Sir Thomas considers that t he
conditions of acceptance of his chal
lenge by the New York Yacht Club
are a great 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
‘lie rule requiring a yacht to rate at
the highest limit of her class in cer
tain cases shall not apply to this
match.” 1

Not every one, of course, no mat
ter how studious, may become a Ty
Cobb or a Hon us Wagner. And It is
a* mighty good thing for the pitch
ers and catchers tlint this Is so. Few
athletes have the lightning speed of
Cobb, which enables him to beat
plenty of infield nips 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

cles. In the first place he has a per
fectly round Htick with which to pro
pel a perfectly round ball thrown
from a distance of 05 feet with all
the force of human power.
He has 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 f«o that the curved surfaces ol
the two objects (bat and hall) 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 hall he pends 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 ball 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 m> 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, Lajoie,
Doyle and Cobb all employ the style.
Some of them may do it all un
consciously. I know 1 did for sev
eral year.- before I joined the Giants.

I was one of our most trusty batsmen,
for he was sure to play every -hade
in his own favor. Bridwell became
proficient by Earning to meet the
I ball in front of himself.
Here are some of the advantages
of this style of swing. More power
is behind the thrust, for the entire
weight of the body is called into play
cast-off.

Y 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 home
in the pinch, scoring three runs, in
cluding the winning tallv, in the tenth
inning. And, besides, he made four
sensational catches in center field.

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 th6 Dodgers that they
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
Ebbetts. of the club: “Don’t let them
do it; it’s bad luck.” Connie always
has blamed automobiles for the long
losing streak encountered by the
Athletics at the. beginning of last
season.

With the money won in the world’s

bought autos, and Connie has often
declared that the boys were so anx

baseball.

The Phillies hammered Fromme

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.
The Tech athletes who returned from
the S. I. A. A. meet at New Orleans
say that if Joe Logan had not fallen on
the last hurdle In the 1 20-yard race
he would easily have established a new
Southern record for that event. The
man who passed Joe when he fell beat
the old mark by 4-5 of a second, and
Logan was six feet ahead of him when
he hit tho last hurdle.

Although the bases were full with no

Monday, G. M. C. could not score, and
the game was won by Riverside 3 to 0.
Williamson, Riverside’s all-prep pitch

who called was Mrs. H. E. Goddard,
living .it North Decatur. R. F. D.
No. 4. She said: "I got some
Quaker Extract for my indigestion
and 1 know it will show good re
sults. but the most important is the
case of our little girl, Lola May.
who is three years old. For months
she had been complaining with her
stomach. She had severe pains,
and was restless, fretful and nerv
ous We gave her what was recom
mended, but she wasn't benefited.
When we got the Quaker Extract
we decided to give her some also,
as it is for worms as well as stom
ach and indigestion. After taking
one-half bottle of Quaker Extract
the girl expelled nearly a handful
of small stomach worms. She is
feeling better and is gradually gain
ing health. Quaker is sure enough
a mighty good medicine."
The Health Teacher * says any
case of worms of any kind can be
permanently cured by Quaker Ex
tract. for it contains in its formula
an herb that is powerful, though
absolutely harmless to even an in

If there is a remedy “just as good,"

Quaker is not full of minerals,
