‘FINISH IS DOUBTFUL, BREEZE IS TOO LIGHT Shamrock Jumps Out in ‘Lead at Start but Is Overtaken|: by American Boat SANDY HOOK, July 27.—|* Overcoming a good lead of Sir Thomas Lipton’s sloop secured early in the race, the Resolute was leading when half of the first 15-mile leg had been cov- ered. The wind was then blowing at about five knots and it seemed doubt- Tul if the yachts would be able to finish within the time limit. MROCK LEADS STARTING LINE, (By Associated Press) SANDY HOOK, July 27.—The Sham- rock IV. led the Resolute across the starting line today in the final interna- tional yacht race to settle the destiny of the America’s cup. The official starting time was the same for both boats at 2:17:60, because both had failed to cross within the two- minute handicap imit. Preparing for the first leg, a 15-mile beat to windward from Ambrose’ Chan- nel lightship, south-southwest, to # point of Asbury Park, the sloops stood along southward of the line, then head-} ed for the lightship, reached past the line and coming about, headed for it when the starting signal was sounded. The Resolute came up almost even with the Shamrock at 3:30 and at 4:10 was slightly in the lead. Having cross- ed the Shdmrock’s bow the Resolute came about again on a starboard tack. WEATHER FORECAST Generally fair tonight Wednesday, slightly warmer o night.
