Casual Comments
 on Yesterdays Game
It was an easy victory!

It was an easy victory!
 
 The kindly errors of the Billkens--errors of omission and commission and other wise-boosted the Baronial score.
 Recruit Buscher of Montgomery got another chance in the box yesterday; the result was 15 bingles for the heavy hitting Barons.
 However, the support Buscher received from his teammates was dIscouraging. The Billikens were listless in their play ing!
 From the exchanges it is gathered that the scribes in other Southern league cities believe Birmingham to have very medio- ere aggregation of ball tossers. The question now occurs that if the Barons kens?
 Barring a little wildness late in the game Arthur Johnson, the elongated local twirler. pitched a masterly game.
 After looking over the entire lot of pitchers that Molesworth has in his stable Johnson appears to have an easy chance to win regular berth in the Baronal camp.
 Speaking of Covington brings to mind that he is just about the niftest first bagger that has cavorted at Redwood in a decade.

will be under the heaviest outlay since as sole owner 1t will require close to s2Oo,o0o to pay for the building, fitting out and sailing the Vanitie now rapidly near ing completion at Neponset. Six present and past flag officers of the New York Yacht club have given an unlimited order to the designer, builder and manager of the Resolute, the Bristol production. and will proba bly, be called upon to contribute between $95, 900 and S400OO each by the time the season is finished. This syndicate is composed of Vice Commodore Frederick G. Bourne, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Arthur Curtis James, and former Vice Commo dore Henry Walters. It is estimated that S2O0,000 will be required to build, outfit and campaign the Resolute during June, July and August. Of the 15 yachtsmen who combined to built the Defiance at Bath at an estimated expense of $10o, GOO eight are from Boston. six from New York and one from Philadelphia. The syndicate is composed of F. c. Fletcher, E. s. Webster. Eliot Wadsworth, Charles Hayden, r. E. eabody, J. c. Cobb, Oli yer Ames and Henry Taggard of Boston; George M. Pynchon, George Lauder, George D. Barron, James B. Ford, E. Trowbridge Hall and Thomas c. Dun- ham of New York and E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia.
 The exact sums paid to the Herresshoff company for the last five cup yachts, ln- cluding the Constitution, have never been revealed. but other builders believe that they know them approximately. From such data it is estimated that the con tract for the Resolute with two masts, two or three sets of sails, minor spars and rigging complete, called for close to $150000. It is thought that s75,O0 will be necessary for her upkeep during the pre- liminary season from May 1 to August 22 The contract price for the Vanitie IS placed at about S1O0.0 GOO, and it is expect ed that with her professional crew, and large tender, NIr. Cochran will have spent another S100000 by the time that the com mittee on challenge of the New York Yacht club renders it's decision as to which yacht shall be intrusted the de- fense of the silver tankard.
 As the Defiance is of composite built, with steel frames and a double wooden skin, it is estimated that her building cost will be considerably less than either of the two bronze yachts, probably in the neighborhood of s40,000 just before launching. Her masts and spars will | cost S10,oO0 her sails slo,0o0, blocks s3O0t
 and rigging 5000, with s6OO0 more for in 1 cidentals, or a total cost of s70,o0o AS l the yachts of several of the syndicate are to be used as tenders. the cost of running the Defiance for the three months is placed at s30.000, or $100000 for the season,

REMARKABLE RECORD HAS
 BEEN MADE BY HENRY FORD

More than a half million motorcars built and sold is the history of the Ford company since it's inception in 1908. It is truly remarkable record. It speaks well of the worth of the name of Ford on an automobile
 The Ford company Is at the present time building automobiles at the rate of 1000 per day and will continue at this rate for the remainder of the year. And the sale of the sturdy little machine keeps up in proportion to the output.
 Is 1t to be wondered that Henry Ford the inventor and manufacturer of the car that bears his name is able to divide $10, 100000 year with his employees and to pay the most lowly employe in his man. moth shops s5 per diem of hours dur ation? And the shops of MT. Ford em- ploy upwards of 26,0O0 men and women.

New York, April 25.-some idea of the amount of money involved in the defense of the America cup in the coming in- ternational yacht regatta off Sandy Hook in September may be gained from the as sertion recently made by an authority who stated that % American yachtsmen will spend more than half a million dol lars this summer in defending the trophy.

The good that MT. Ford does with his accrued wealth is returned to him by the healthful advertising he receives; the pub lie naturally feels that a man of the char acter of MT. Ford could not conscienti- ously build an inferior automobile and therefore they buy the little Fords as fast as they are manufactured-not only in this country but in all parts of the world. The fame of Henry Ford and his auotmobile is worldwide. His machines are to be found in the interior of dark est Africa; in the valleys of the Andes, in Ceylon, on the Isle of Jolo, the Philippines, and in all the out of the way places of the world.
 Americans should feel proud of MT. Ford. He has done something to impress upon the world the superiority of the American workman and American invent iyeness.

TO SAVE EYES Is the Object of This Free Prescription Try it if Your Eyes Give
 You Trouble.

Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor allment, but none for their eye trou- oies- They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would, anyway, charge them a heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or 10 the five and Ien-cent store, and oftentlmes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here is a simple prescription that every one should use:
 grains Optona q tableD
 2 ounces water
 Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes the inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by its mse. Many re- ports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after a few weeks use. It is good for the eyes and con- tains no ingredient which would in- jure the most sensitive eyes of an fn- fant or the aged. Lee & Osgood CT any druggist can fill this prescription promptly Try it and know for once what real eye comfort Is.
