SHAMROCK w TO BE
LIMITED IN TOWING
New York Yacht Club Will Not
Recede from Position Taken
Several Years Ago.

Resolute is the name that has been
| chosen for the yacht being built by the
/ Herreshoffs at Bristol, r. l., as can
didats for the defence Of the America s
! Cup. and hitherto known as the flag
officers boat
This announcement was made at the
New York Yacht Club yesterday by
! George A. Cormack. the secretary, VINO
is also the secretary OF the syndicate
that Is furnishing the funds to build
and race the yacht.
The members of the syndicate are
former Commodores Henry Walters.
Arthur Curtiss James. Frederick G..
Bourne and Cornelius Vanderbilt. and
Vice Commodore George F. Baker and
Rear Commodore J. P. Morgan. Work
on the yacht is so far advanced that 1t
is expected she will be launched on
April II.
Yachtsmen who heard of the nane
selected for the new yacht last night
were pleased and thought 1t an appro-
DTldtS one. - iiriiipNi Va N-'~ <>'
York Yacht Club said:
II regard the name Resolute as
good strong one, that means something,
and feel that all yachtsmen will ap-
prove Of It. The fact that there was
another Resolute in the old days does
not matter. She was fine racing
schooner and prize winner, too
The names Of all the sloops that have
defended the Americas Cup since 1881
were the Puritan, the Mayfiower the
Volunteer. the Vigilant, the Defender,
the Columbia and the Reliance.
Others that were built for the pur-
pose OF defending the cup, but were not
selected. included the Priscilla, the
Jubilee, the Pilgrim, the Colonia, the
Constitution and the independence.
The 2esolute and the Defiance, the
sloop being built for the Pynchon-
Clark syndicate, are the new names,
while the Yacht being built for A. s.
Cochran will be christened in a few
days.
The preliminary report Of the Amer
ica's Cup committee was also issued
yesterday by Mr.. Cormack. II em
braces all the correspondence that
passed between the New York Yacht
Club and the Royal Ulster Yacht Club
concerning the negotiations leading UP
to the latest challenge of Sir Thomas
Upton and subsequent thereto. There
are fifty letters nd forty-four cable
dispatches included in the report, to-
gether with an appendix containing
correspondence relating TO the chal-
lenge OF 1907 and TO the question Of
towing the challenging yacht.
From the tone OF this latter corre-
spondence it seems that the New York
Yacht Club has no intention OF receding
from it's position taken in former years.
In a letter to RI. l.. Garrett. secretary
of the subcommittee on challenge OF
the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, dated
May 10, 1913, Mr.. Cormack writes.

which our present committee is acting.

Rockefeller Institute An
nOunces Specific After
Long Experiments.
READY TO TREAT
CASES AT HOSPITAL
Bellevue Also Reports Develop
ment of Remedy for Other
Phases of Disease.

After three years Of experiment and
observation specific serum for the
treatment Of lobar pneumonia cases
has been offered to the public by the
Rockefeller Institute Of Medical Re-
search. With the offer is the state
ment that the results indicate the eff
cheney Of the discovery in lowering the
mortality from this disease.
Although the result of working on
independent lines, an announcement
also came yesterday from Bellevue
Hospital that pneumonia serum de-
yeloped In its la laboratories was recently
used successfully upon DR.. p. NJ. How
ard, a staff physician Of that institu-
ton. It's efficacy was marked, and DR..
Howard, whose condition was critical,
is now in the convalescent stage.
In neither statement is there a hint
Of the Importance to the medical world
of the establishment Of this new spe-
cifc remedy. Like the diphtheria anti
toxin and the typhoid fever serum, the
anti -pneumococcus serum. as it is SCI
entifically known. was subjected to the
most painstaking scrutiny and made TO
prove it's worth before the cure" was
admitted to be fact.
The news from the Rockefeller In
stitute came in the following form,
sent to physicians OF standing in the
city:
Acute Lobar Pneumonia.-The Hos
pital Of the Rockefeller Institute is
now prepared 10 treat patients suffer
ing from acute lobar pneumonia with
specific anti-pneumococcus sera. The
results so far obtained indicate that
the proper use of this method is
efficient In lowering the mortality from
this disease.
In order TO make this method Of
treatment effective it is necessary that
in each case the type OF pneumococcus
causing the infection be determined be-
fore treatment Is commenced. In most
cases it is now possible TO do this
within a few hours after the patient
comes under observation, but the
method is still complicated. Moreover,
the supply Of serum is limited. and for
this reason It is considered advisable
that for the present the efforts Of this
institution be confined TO the treatment
Of patients admitted to the hospital.
'It is desired. however, to make the
treatment available for as large a num-
Der of patients as possible during the
present season. and our ambulance will
be sent promptly for any patients suf-
fering from this disease whom you may
desire TO have admitted
The detailed work OF evolving the
serum out of the many experimental
cultures was under the direction of DR..
Rufus Cole, medical director Of the In
stitute. For the last three years pa
tents suffering from lobar and plural
pneumonia have been subjected 10 OBJ
servation. The first difficulty was In
the isolation OF the pneumonia germ.
and when that was accomplished it was
found that, like some other infectious
diseases, the germ was varied in sew
eral strains"

Luck This Time
in Even Numbers

In the selection of the names Resolute
and Defiance. for two OF the yachts being
built as candidates for the defence OF the
Americas Cup. the adherence to the
eight letter designation Is again marked.
This was the case in the successful Cup
defenders Of past years. including the Re-
lance, the Columbia, the Defender and
the yigilant.
Yachtsmen as a rule are inclined to
laugh at the superstition Of luck In eight

remains that Of the twelve defending
yachts q majority have borne names con-
talning eight letters.
