Upton S New Boat
Seventy-F ooter

NEW YORK. March 7.-Commo-
dore D, p. Pratt, Of the New York
Yacht club, today issued a call for a
special meeting Of the members to
consider the challenge Of the Royal
Ulster Yacht club for next Wednesday
evening.
A cahlegram from London today
said that the boat with which Sir
Thomas Upton wanted to race was
one seventy feet on the water line.
That fs twenty feet shorter thar the
limitations according to the deed of
gift and nearly twenty feet shorter
than the Reliance. Sir Thomas can
bring a seventy ~footer If he wishes,
but that will not preclude the New
York Yacht club from naming a nine
ty-footer as a defender, and unless the
challenger and challenged can agree
mutually on measurements and time
allowance based on those measure
ments the two yachts will race boat
for boat without any time allowance.
and the first boat home will win the
race. This manifestly would put the
smaller craft al a great disadvantage,
and il is not thought likely that the
chaIiengers have any such idea in
making the challenge

Yellow Jackets begin work on their
baseball schedule tomorrow. with the
first game of the season against the
Capital City Leaguers OF Ashland.
1t is hard TO tell just who will start

HazeIett will probably do the receiv-
ing Gale last years catcher, sus-
tanned a fractured elbow yesterday.

some time,
Brown and Ferguson will do the
twiriing, Bane and perhaps Hollo-

second base. Three or four may be
given shortstop part of the game.
They are Eggleston, Blanton and Mid

third A number are working for the
outfield positions, but two of last
years outfielders will certainly take
their old positions. They are Lips
comb and Tatem. The third fielder is
unknown on account of the number
of candidates.

That che motor car has been great
factor in the tremendous prosperity
which tho entire country and es-
pecially the farmers is enjoying to-
day is the opinion expressed by ]. II.
Simms. OF the Eastern Motor Sales
company. He gives some entirely new
ideas on the subject. which are of I'M
usual interest, because of the agita-
ton that the motor car is largely a
luxury.
Take for instance the hard work
ing city man." said Mr. Simms, and
just for the sake of argument we will
say that the motor car is only d means
of enjoyment and luxury. Ii is so at
tractive for him and he is certain to
want one, and this very fact has
causeed much greater ambition in
many man, and in simply work
ing tn get to the better things of life,
included in which are the automobile,
he has what we might call found him
self and made a far greater success
IN life than IL he had not been spurred
on by this incentive.
In numerous cases small business
amen have mortgaged their homes TO
go into business and then have awak-
ened TO the realization of their debt
and buckled down and made good
firmly believe that thu desire TO own
a. motor car is in a great number OF
cases greater than the desire TO own
a home. And when a man wants any
thing so badly he is going to be more
industrious and work much harder
to get IT,"
And the country man has been
also awakened tn the realization of
the splendid advantages of living on
the farm, He has been made salts
fed, and the farmers life today is
recognized everywhere as that OF a
real business man and not simply as
n rustic And In using. the motor car
the farmer has also come to realize
the value of other advantages which
are possible
There is no doubt but that the
motor Wr has done lots TO make the
farmer the big man that he is to-
day. 1t has made him realize that
his position is one of great favor, and
he has worked harder and more con-
tentedly simply because he knew
