New York.—The human elements will piny an Important part In the coming iwellmlnary und International races for the America’* cup. Thi* is indented by the care with which owners of chal lenging and defending yachts have se lected their skippers and the latter, the crews for the greatest yachting event of a decade. It has been said that a racing yacht can develop *0 many peculiarities and whim* that the sailor Is convinced tha« 111 a craft of this type there is an over lapping of the animate and inanimate. Whether the owners subserbe to this t>el!ef or not the fact remains that those directing the sailing tactics and the handling of the helm are men fitted by yenrs of experience for the task of ob taining maximum speed from their craft. The present alignment, which so far as known will be permanent, calls for an even division of honors between amateur and professional ranks of skip pers. Tli# amateurs are represented b> Charles Adame, second, who *lll sail the Resolute, and W. P. Burton, who will be at the wheel of Shamrock IV. Mr. Adams will face during the forty odd preliminary races, at least two pro fessional helmsmen, for the Defiance will .be sailed during many of these races by Captain S. B. Howell, while the Cochran boat will be in rharge of Captain William S. Dennis. It Is considered likely that should the Defiance be selected to defend the cup next September Captain Howell will be at the wheel.

The Combacks Defeated in Twrfth Inning In Opening Ball Gare of Season Here Yesterday; God Game Manager B.outhers’ Aggregation of Youngsters sere Cer tainly a Surprise to Many an Augusta Fan. Excellent Game Played By Both Teams; Today’s GameYill Go a Long Ways Toward Decidng Who is the Stronst. Augusta was defeated in yesterday's game by the Columbia boys—but it took twelve innings to do it —and this would not have happened but for a wild pitch, which brought in the two runs that won the game. Manager Brouthers' aggregation of youngsters was certainly a surprise to many an Augusta fan. The majority believed that such a nice crowd of youngster* could not be "sewed” to gether in so short a space of time. Augusta received her lead In the fifth Inning when Centerfielder Boyd made a hit which landed between short and left field. This brought In Man ager Brouthers, who was on third, and Catcher Fuesse, who was on sec ond. Boyd misjudged where the ball hit and after touching first kept rfkht on, thinking that he could make it a two-bagger, but he realized his mis take tf >o late and was tagged when returning to first, retiring the side. This gave Augusta a lead of two runs and the distinction of making the first run in the opening game. Costly Error. Ashby’s drop of a beautiful fly which came buzzing around his zone was the beginning of the trouble In the sixth, this giving the Comers a chance to get two men on bases, who were brought in one at a time by Hol land and Ezell, respectively. This still left two men on bases (who brought in the runs). They were given a chance to steal the home sack when Braun’s safety brought in Ezell. Gardi ner's repeater brought In Holland. This made the score 4 to 2 in their favor. Augusta tied the score in the sev enth, making it 4 and 4. when Pitcher Neyenhouse knocked in two men and landed safe on first. Defeated in Twelfth. Things went along pretty smoothly until the twelfth inning, when Braun snapped out a two-base hit, bringing in a "Comer.” Gardiner followed, landing safe on first and bringing in another run, making the score 6 to 4 for the Comers. Manager Brouthers stated, when on his way to the park this afternoon, that "Harby" got the first, but it w his turn this afternoon, and from the looks of the game yesterday it will he pretty hard to tell who will do so. In other words, the two games scheduled for this afternoon and tomorrow are certainly going to bring out some fine Says That In Spite of Orgcized Ball People , The FederalsYre And the Federals Will 2 New York.—What a ferocious, can nibalistic crowd of persons those Fed eral Leaguers are—if you care to take the word of Organised Baseball and its staunchest subsidized friends for it. Prexy Jimmy Gilmore and all his lieutenants ought to be tharown Into Jail, starved into a pitflful condition and then chopped into little hits of rieces, according to the views of some of those mentioned above. It's rather laughable—and disgust ing—the methods being used by some persons to heckle the Federals. The Federals, taking it from the O. B. peopl), are composed of Joke ball players. Joke magnates, and Joke bankrolls The latest method of attacking the Feds is to rise up and shriek "Shame, Shame," at the Feds because they are threatening to do Just exactly what the Organized Baseball people have done—sing up men who are under contract.
