July 13.—The schedule for the international yacht races for the Americas cup between the Re*oldte and Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock IV has !>een definitely arranged hv the regatta committee of the New York Yacht cluo. The series will continue until one of the yachts has won three races and the lomnittee has set five dates on which the races are to be sailed, in case additional races should be necessary for any cause, dates will be set later, providing for their sailing. WINDWARD AND LEEWARD COURSE. The first race of the series off Sandy Hook will be ended Thur-ie.v and will be over a windward and leeward course of thirty miles. The second race will be sailed Saturday and the third nest Tuesday. f more than three races are necessary to decide the issue the yachts will meet on Jnlv 22 and 24. Beginning with the first race, every ether one sailed will be to windward mid'Yeturn over : course of thirty miles, fifteen miles to a leg. The second and fifth races (if a fifth is necessary) will be sailed over a triangular course ten in'les to a leg. or a total <>f thirty miles.

The defender Resolute was taken to drydock today to have her under sides polished once again before the first of the races is sailed oa Thursday. A coating of oil that gathered on the Resolute s hull despite precautions taken by her skipper in having her enveloped In a canvas covering, was the cause for her sudden removal from Sandy Hook. The defender may remain in drydock until late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. Again, she may b ? towed back here for another spin over the cup course. The Shamrock rolled lazily at her mooring in the Horseshoe cove early tojglay,.ready for a spin off the Hook SuuIny weather prevailed and there was a Bight breeze outside.
Lipton Receives Many Alleged Charms as Big Yacht Race Draws Near
NEW YORK, July 13.—As the day for the international cup race approaches Sir Thomas Lipton, owner of the challenger Bhamrock receives a morning mail that ever grows In size and originality. A sheaf of missive in a recent mail came to the grand old yachtsman's hand from a dozen states invoking blessings and good fortune on the baronet’s effort to take the cup across the Atlantic. A New England weli-wisher enclosed a well-worn dime on which were the letters “It J. R.’’ and said: “I never saw an Englishman I could like, but I admire a good sport, regardless." Another sent a weather-beaten playing card —the seven of hearts—which he picked up on a Flanders battiefleld. "We won a battle shortly after I found this, and I'm the seventh son of our family. Carry it for luck, but I want it back when you’ve won the cup.’’ The folds of a dozen letters from interested colleens held pressed shamrocks and one enclosed in a heart-shaped pendant came from a ’’cop.” Kearns of good and bad verse, a piece of the America, the boat that lifted the cup back in 1851; a half dozen reminders that “there's many a slip ’twixt the cup aud the lip’’ were part of the novel assortment. The baronet reads and enjoys them all. and was very earnest In his assurance that all would be answered.
Big League Stuff
Eddie Collins slammed out a homer In the ninth Inning at Philadelphia and enabled the White Sox to win. It was the only run of the game. Fred Toney wild-pitched the Cardinals into third place at St. Louis and tossed Giant hopes into the grandstand in one grand heave. With the bases full in the eleventh frame Fillingim of the Braves forced home Pittsburg's winning run by walking Bigbee. Ray Fisher held the Phillies to five hits and the Reds won in ten Innings despite a crippled infield. The Brooklyn steamroller flattened the Cubs twice.

PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—Lew Tendler of this city defeated Willie Jackson of New York in a fast eight-round bout last night. Jackson had the better of the first round and the second and fourth were about even. Tendler took the others by a wide margin. In the fifth he opened gashes over both of Jackson's eyes and from that point to the finish he had things his own way.

NEW YORK, July 13.—Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier may settle their argument about the world's heavyweight title In New York before the snow files. From the grave, where it was thought to have been consigned when the Frenchman jumped behind the Cochrane contract, the premier bout of a decade has been resurrected by one Tex Kickard Since Carpentier first voted in favor of meeting tho champion, Rickard has been thought to have something up his sleeve. His characteristic aversion to talking until he has something to say made him a mystery man In a little drama that was known to be going ou behind the curtains. Rickard opened bis sleeve a bit today and let It bo known that he has secured a ten-year lease on Madison Square Garden, that he Is going to increase Its capacity to 20.000, making some Improvements and go after the Dempsey-Cnrpentler fight.

“AY/HAT are the reasons for the W advance in gasoline prices?” was asked by the President of a large daily newspaper. Continuing, the gentleman said: ‘1 can conceive how the cost of a manufactured article might increase as much as 50 to 100 percent because of the increased cost of raw materials, labor, etc.; but it has always seemed to me that the price of a product taken from the pound at a comparatively low cost should not be affected to any marked degree.” This constitutes a fair question, and we are glad of an opportunity to answer it frankly. Gasoline is refined from crude petroleum by a lengthy and expensive process, and is, in the truest sense, a manufactured article. Time, labor, and heavy investments enter into the manufacture of gasoline from the crude, and each of these necessarily affect the price. The cost of crude is a dominant factor in fixing the price of gasoline. The extraordinary demand for petroleum products, plus the abnormal increases in the cost of labor, machinery, and money necessary for drilling and equipping oil wells, have combined to force upwards the price of crude oil F. 0. B. Whiting from $1.54 to $4.30 per barrel in four years, nearly 180 percent \ For the same period the selling price of gasoline has increased but 44 percent Since the Armistice was signed, the production of automobiles, tractors, trucks, and other power using machinery, has created a demand for gasoline far in excess of normal. Gasoline reserves have been reduced to an alarming extent, and the bidding for crude oil on the part of refiners generally, has forced prices upward. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) having practically no wells of its own is obliged to go into the open market and compete with other refiners for the crude oil it requires. Because of its acknowledged superior efficiency in manufacturing, the Standard C il Company these conditions has been able to exert a marked deterrent pressure upon the upward sweep of the gasoline market Standard 03 Company ( Indiana) 910 So.

INDIANS STILL *} DISPLAY PUNCH WITH MEN ON Overworked Pitching Staff Being Carried Through by Timely Hitting. MILWAUKEE, July 13.—Jack Hendricks’ Indians are getting by with an overworked pitching staff by the opportune hitting of the Hoosier*. With only four twirlers to go on the Tribe is up against the odds, but despite this fact the club is proving it* ability to squeeze through somehow, aud in the fourth game of the series with the Brewers this afternoon the Hendricksmen seemed as confident as usual. Paul Jones was slated to take the mound. He twirled In Kansas City Saturday, but seemed to be ready again today and felt that he could pull through with another victory if given a few runs. In the contest yesterday the Indian? handed the Brewers a 7 to 3 tritaming and thereby reached the .500 mark. From now on victories will mean something, and the Iloosiers seem determined t keep on spilling the western clubs. The Indians were outhit yesterday, but that didn t mean anything. They had Caret on the mound and what safeties the Brewers obtained he kept fairly well scattered. McWheeney opened in the box for Milwaukee and went like a blazing house until the fifth, when the Tribe chased over four runs. Trentman took un the box work for tin- locals after the fifth, hut the lloofciers were out to win decisively and me, snaked him for two markers in the sixth and one in the seventh.
