War UpSefS Plans for
Americas Cup Races

to hold the feet intact until after the
race for the Aston Cup.
Two squadron runs-to Nlneystu
Haven and back from Newport-hso 70
be cut out. The prizes for these runs
were to have been the cups onered py
Commodore Dallas y. Pratt and py
Vice Commodore George F. Baker, Jr'
The club may decide TO race Tor tnese
trophies later in the season.
Tventy-eight yachts took part IN the
FIRST SQUADRON run from Glen Cove TO
Smithtown Bay, thirty in the run to
New London and twenty-eight from
there TO Newport The Aston Cup race
had fourteen entries two less than
last year-and the Kings Cup race,
which had to be called off on account OF
Englands declaration. Of war with Ger
many. had nine cntrics-one more than
last year.
The contests between the Cup de-
fence yachts Resolute and Nanitle,
which sailed in racing instead Of cruis-
ing trim, for special prizes offered by
the club, excited a great deal OF IN
terest The Resolute proved the win
ner Of all three squadron runs and also
of the Aston Cup, specially offered by
Captain Vincent Aston, for the Cup de-
tenders. In the first run the flag Of
ficers'" yacht won by 1906 from the
Vanitie; in the second she won by $3.50
and in the third by 2:ll. In the Aston
Gun race she was the winner by 5;l9.
All these wins are by corrected time.
An analysis of the performance OF
these two yachts on the cruise shows
that they both sailed l67 miles on the
four racing days. The Resolute's
elapsed time for that distance was "a
hours SO minutes 40 seconds, and that
of the Vanitie % hours l6 minutes %
seconds, so that, boat for boat, leaving
out all questions of time allowance, the
Resolute covered the distance 10 min
utcs 43 seconds faster than the Vanitie.
There is no doubt but what the Nani-
tie had improved since her early races
on the Sound and off Sandy Hook, but
she had not so far been able to defeat
the Resolute in light weather. Her
owner believes, and so does her de
signer, that in strong breeze, with
some sea on and a good thrash to wind
ward, the Vanitie will be able to save
her time allowance and beat the Her
reshoff boat. That remains TO be seen,
however. and il may be many day be-
fore these two fine sloops come to-
gether again in a race.
The owners of the Defiance, which
dropped out of the racing just before
the cruise, still believe that their yacht
can defeat both the others when she is
pus in proper trim, as to sail plan and
weights. They look upon the war as
sort of blessing in disguise, for it will
give them an opportunity to put the
Defiance in shape to race when the war
is over

FOOTBALL CODE
LOOKS THE SAME
Changes Made by the
Rules Committee Now
Out in Guide.
CHAINS ARE PLACED
UPON HEAD COACH
Running of Team from the Side
lines Will Be a Difficult
Task This Year.

The Spalding book of football rules
for 1914, that har6inger Of fall with
its bracing weather and gridiron strug-
giles. is out. No radical changes nave
been made since last year. II was the
consensus of the rules committee that
the game had prospered under the
code adopted the year previous, ana
such changes as were recommended
and made are of corrective nature.
OF chief Importance is the ordnance
which strips from the head coach, or
others. the privilege of walking up
and down the side lines during a game.
This will in great measure eliminate
the evil of side line coaching, which
for so many years has been in evil
dence in all games, and more espe-
cially in the big games. To be sure,
there was a rule which prohibited
coaching from the lines, but this was
honored more in the breach than in the
observance. II was said of one or two
teams last season that the coaches
PLAYED" quarterback throughout every
important game. Chained" TO the
bench, as he now is, the coach Will have
TO send in a substitute if necessity de-
mands the transmission Of an lmpor-
tsnt message.
Several rules nave Deen ameHueu 70
work for the reformation Of actual
play. Encrosching upon the neutral
zone, rule which was violated
throughout the country, and by Har-
ward especially, is forbidden. Many
teams which used formations calling
for shifts, moved in front Of, rather
than behind, the ball. 1t was charged
that this practice led to much unneces-
ssry roughness and worked to engen-
der bitter feeling among the players.
Change in Forward Pass.
The rules governing uncompleted
forward passes have been changed
somewhat. The deliberate grounding
of forward pass TO prevent probable
interception is punishable by loss
OF ten yards from the point at which
the ball was put into play. II the
offence occurs on the fourth down,
the ball goes to the opponents at a
point ten yards in back of where 1t
WAS put in play. The rule permitting
a team mailing a pass which was un-
complete TO bring the ball back win

Further than this, one of the

So called Black sma1 tweed. In the

have a large weed which has small
red flowers later in the year, common
ly called smartweed. The difficulty
with this is that it contains an oil in
considerable quantity which, when
mixed with the oil in the pepper

for this reason that the patches must
be plowed up every two or three
years and started anew. as we'll as for

year, or an average of "a pounds dur
ing three-year period. At 81. II per
pound, the average price of mint for
the past ten years, the income per
acre is SOL %.
"When mint is grown on muck
soil the ground is plowed in autumn
and thoroughly narrowed in the
spring as early as possible. After
narrowing the field is marked with
burrows about three feet apart and
five inches deep. Workmen carry in
sacks the root stocks which have been
produced from the planting of the
previous year. These root stocks are
dug as early in the spring as possible
and are about one-fourth of an inch
in diameter and from one to three
feet in length. They are put in the
furrow lengthwise to form a contin-
uous line and are covered with a
movement of the feet as the workmen
walk astride of the row. The plant
ing is usually done in April or early
May though successful crop can be
obtained from planting about the 1st
of June. II conditions of soil and
weather are favorable the new plants
begin to appear about two weeks from
the time Of planting.
"Cultivation with horses begins a
short time after the appearance of
the plants above the surface and con-
tinues every week until the runners
begin to form, usually in July.
CuItivators with many fine teeth are
best and workmen may follow the
cultivator to remove weeds from
the plants in the row. Weeds that
appear after cultivation has stopped
should be pulled by hand. In good
soils root stocks which begin to be
thrown out in July frequently cover
the ground in August. Three OF four
crops may be produced from a single
planting. Most growers plant in au-
tumn after each crop is harvested so
that root stocks that have been pro-
duced in the summer may be turned
under to form new growth the follow
ing year. AS the root stocks cover
