cate of members of the New York Yacht club. The syndicate was headed by Henry Walters, erstwhile commodore of the club, with Arthur Curtiss James, Frederick G. Bourne, Cornelius Vanderbilt, George F. Baker, Jr., and J. P. Morgan as the other members. All have flown the senior flag of the club. With the exception of Frederick G. Bourne, the members of the syndi- cate are all alive and deeply inter- ested in the defense of the trophy.
 The cup situation, in so far as the New York Yacht club is concerned, is most unusual this year. The syn dicate that built Resolute is prac- tically the 'cup committee" of the organization. which also is in con- trol of Vanitie. Again, Rear Com modore Nichols, in 1914, was a member of the afterguard on Reso- lute, and probably would be there today had not Vanitie been turned over to the club.
 The ''interlocked directorate" ex- plains why the new sails for Vanitie came from the Herreshoffs' sail-loft and why Rear Commodore Nichols and Captain Robert w. Emmons, 2nd. Of Boston, managing director of Resolute, have been in continual communication throughout the win ter. Each has helped the other place his respective craft in commission. The reason is self-evident. The New York Yacht club is playing no fla vorites in it's defense of the trophy The yachting brains" of the club are not trying to make Resolute beat Vanitie or Nanitie beat Resolute They are out to make either Vanitie or Resolute beat Shamrock ". and with that in mind, they have been working to get as much as possible out of each yacht.

ltie to tighten the craft, it was nat urai that Designer Herreshotf should
 make a few in the Bristol craft. These principally have been cen tered in the racing rig. Changes
 have been made in the tophamper of the craft, on the basis of re- ducing weight above deck, so as to bring the yacht to new line of 1 Notation, in the hope that shorter waterlne will draw more time from opponents. It is said that about 900
 pounds have been removed from the tophamper of the craft. The new
 Resolute mast. with its aluminite gaf, is considered unmatched in
 strength and lightness The changes
 have made Resolute ride a little higher out of the water than in
 1914. In her trials today, she seems
 to have gained by the alterations in running before the wind. .... ~
 In addition to Captain Emmons, there are on board the Bristol yacht Charles Francis Adams, 2nd, of Boston, who holds the wheel; George A. Cormack, secretary of the New York Yacht club, and John Parkin- son. All served as members of the afterguard in 1914. No one has as yet been selected to take the place of Rear Commodore Nichols. Cap tain Christiansen also served on the craft in 1914. .:

YACHTING BRAINS OF AMERICA GIVE
 TESTS ATTENTION

NEW YORK.-The first official activity in connection with the Am erica's Cup races off Sandy Hook, July 15, began recently on Long Island sound, when the prospective cup-defending yachts Resolute and Nanitie met in the opening race of the 1920 elimination series. Six races were held of New Haven, Conn.,, between May 21 and 27, after which the yachts proceeded to Newport for more extended series of races under open sea conditions. The schedule calls for 15 races of Newport, the contests terminating on June 19.
 The contests off New Haven were short practice events, twice around a short course, and did not count materially in the selection of a de- fender. Their chief purpose was to afford the crews practice and to stretch sails and rigging.
 The real trial races are now in progress off. Newport, and at their conclusion the cup committee will announce the defender. These races are flor blood" The friendship that exists between the two crews is forgotten for the time being, each desiring to be the ''cup boat :" Once the defender is decided, the "brains" of the two yachts will again get together to plan the de- fense of the Americas cup
 The regatta committee of the New York Yacht club has full charge of all the trial races. It is made up of H. deB. Parsons, chairman; Jo- serh NJ. Macdonough, and Frederic O. Spedden.
 With both Resolute and Vanitie in the water again, yachtsmen are once more beginning to take an interest in the international series for the classic racing trophy. The race to put Resolute and Vanitie into the water first was watched with inter- est throughout the country. The honors went to Vanitie. Not only was she relaunched a day ahead of Resolute, but she also was under sail "A hours ahead of the Heres hoff designed craft. This, of course. means nothing in the selection of the defender of the cup. Still, the race to put the yachts into commis- sion was interesting, as it showed the keen rivalry that exists be- tween the managing directors of the craft
 Vanitie, designed by William Gardner for Alexander Smith Coch- ran, a member of the New York Yacht club, originally was built by the George Lawley & Son corpora tion, at Neponset, Mass, in 1914. Her general dimensions are 11S feet over all, 75 feet on the water line. 22 feet 6 inches extreme breadth, and draft of about II feet. Since 1916, the craft has been at Robert Jacobs yard, City Island. Last win

tier, MT. Cochran gave the yacht to
 the cup committee of the New York
 Yacht club, and the committee. in
 turn, placed Vanitie in the hands of Rear Commodore George Nichols, one of the best amateur sailors in the country.
 Throughout the winter, Rear Commodore Nichols experimented with the vessel. In the trial races of 1914, Vanitie had to allow Reso- lute time. The junior flag officer of the New York club tried to find a method of eliminating the handi- cap. With this idea in view changes were made in the rig and the centerboard and the yacht gen. erally frightened. Naturally, there has been considerable secrecy re- garding the changes. Whether Rear Commodore Nichols has gained his point will not be known until the defending yachts are officially mea- sured.
 The changes in Vanitie were made at Robert Jacobs yard. It is said that Sterling Burgess. Boston yachtsman, a member of the after guard of the Gardner boat, prin- cipally is responsible for the chang es. One is a new hollow topmast. The yacht also has new hollow spruce spreaders, about 35 feet from tip to tip. These changes have been made to tighten the craft.
 Regardless of the fact that it had been frequently reported that Vani- ties stem was to be shortened ma terlally and that her rail, which is really the continuation of her sides above the deck. was to be removed. these changes have not been made. The rail has been cut away, iron, about wo-thirds way aft, so as to enable the decks to clear them selves of seas that may come aboard. more rapidly than if the waters had to get away through the small scup- pers. The angle at which the cen- terboard of Nanitie extends has been altered so as to throw the weight forward. This is hoped to increase her windward qualities = *~.. .... " Nanitie is being raced by Rear Commodore Nichols In addition to the flag officer and Mir. Burgess. there are on the quarterback in the majority of the races C. J. Nourse and C. Sherman Hoyt. Both are well-known New York yachtsmen, the former being prominent in the weekly racing of the Seawanhaka- Corinthian Yacht club of Oyster bay, and the latter interested in yachting for years
 G. A. Gautesen is the professional skipper of Vanitie. In former races for the Americas cup, the profes- sional skipper has been the all-im- portant parsonage on board cup yacht. That is not so today. Both Shamrock W and the American de- fender will be sailed by amateurs. Still, the professional skipper plays an important part on a cup boat, and although he is not as we'll known as some of the other paid racing men, Captain Gautesen is an excel lent sailor, who has had many years of experience on board racing yachts.
 This is not the first time that Captain Gautesen has shipped on Vamte. Back in 1915, when Com modore Cornelius Vanderbilt had the yacht under charter, he was her first mate At that time, Vanitie was commanded by Captain Chris Christensen, Commodore Wander

THE MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL
Observation-Disclosures

When school started the prospects
for a good football team were eX-
tremely gloomy Practically the en-
tire team that played the majority
Of the games last season was gradua-
ted last June Those who have
watched the development of the
team during the last two weeks are
confident that Mineral Point will nUu
only have a team that will do credit
to the high school and the city, baL
will win the majority OF the games.
Competition for places on the
team is very keen and no individual
is sure of a secure berth. In all
probability the team will be directed
by either John O'Neil or Irwin White
at quarterback. The other back
field men will no doubt be Harris
Walker and Charles HutchisOn. For
the end positions there is keen COM
petition among Roy Davies, Robert
Stair and ElVie Polkinghorn. The
OdOre Hankins is practically assured
Of the position as center of the team
but is steadily crowded by George
Greenwood. Paul Graber and Percy
Phillips have shown the best talent
at guard and Bernard Graber and
Howard PenhallegOn are showing
good form in the tackle positions.
There are a number of other men
who are displaying good football tai
ent and may secure a position on tn7
first squad Among these are John
Davisson and Edgar Winn.
Coach Anderson, who is an old
football player and coach, has been
centralizing his efforts in teaching
the men signals. the rudiments IN
tackling, interference, blocking, and
clipping. Some time has been gwen
to scrimmage.
The first scheduled game will /be
played with Belmont at Belmont on
October 1st.
Miss Goodrich is planning to ges
into the debate work at an early
date. She will conduct a class sor
those interested in debate work.
One period each week will be giVe>=

bate.

Sour Soil and Its Remedy

The results of over 200 acidity
tests on soils in Iowa county show
that about IS per cent are sour in
degrees ranging from slight to verJ
strong. Upland acid soils are gener-
ally due to the teaching away OF
available lime, while low marsy son
becomes acid due to to the decOm-
position of organic matter. SoEs,
soil whether it be upland or lowlanu
is injurious because all plants neeu
lime for proper growth, some moTe
than others, and the available lime
in an acid soil is very low. The lime
requirement for best growth varies
with most all crops. The one which
requires an abundance and which
farmers are experiencing the great
est trouble with is alfalfa, it being
very sensitive to acid conditions.
1t is a waste of time, labor and seeo
to SOW it unless you know that con-
ditions for it's growth are favorable.
If you are plannig to set in a patch
Of alfalfa next year, start now and
have your soil tested. Write to you>
County Agent at Dodgeville and ASH
him to visit your place. If your soil
is acid, an application of from two
to four tons of ground limestone per
acre will neutralize the acid presen,
and supply available lime for the
crop. Ground limestone may be
bought in carload lots, or, since lime
rock is abundant in this county, 1t
may be cheaper to do your own
crushing. If you don't think that
lining pays, ask Harker Brothers
| just west of Dodgeville.
