SHAMROCK SAIL BILLOWS DOWN, ENDING CONTEST (Continued on Page Two) Shamrock V, the British challenger, three quarters of an hour after the start. Footing it along on even terms with Enterprise, the defender, Shamrock lost her mainsail, which billowed down, half on her deck and half in the water. She immediately lost way and came about. It at first | appeared that a block, which holds the big wing to the masthead, had | carried away. The main halyard, | which holds the big wing to the | masthead had parted. Enterprise started to come around Luc- | will begin the | association | on | lly and is| until | An official announcement from the committee boat said that the Sham- rock had parted her main halyard. The committee said it could not be determined immediately whether the challenger would be able to race to- morrow. No Immediate Repairs There appeared to be no chance of affecting immediate repairs on the Shamrock. Most of the spectator fleet, which had continued with the Enterpr | came racing back as the | headed for home and Shamrock joined the mournful procession back to New- port. The Enterprise continued course, almost alone, and by almost lost in the haze. Up to the time of the mishap, Shamrock had given the best per- formance of the series and had shown every indication of making a real battle of today's contest. She had all the better of the start, | going across almost bow to bow with the defender, but in the wind- ward berth, which gave her a large | advantage. | To this slight margin she had | clung with grim determination until the accident to her rigging. The Enterprise was creeping up, how- | ever, and it appeared only a matter of minutes and miles until she would take command. | It was not believed the accident to Shamrock was serious enough to require extensive repairs, but with | today's race gone she had a stagger- ing margin to overcome. Enter- prise would need only one more vic- | tory after today to clinch the cup. ‘Tries Chase at First After a conference with Sir { Thomas on the deck of the nearby | Erin, Skipper Ned Heard of the | Shamrock turned his boat and set out after the distant Enterprise. | She was making such slow pro- | gress under only her headsails that | she soon gave up the futile chase |and was taken under tow by a | small power boat. At the start the positions of Mon- | day's race were reversed. Then it was the Enterprise that took the weather berth shortly after the start |and the Shamrock that vainly at- | tempted to maneuver herself out of | the defender's lee. Today ter- | prise had the role of the mouse and | Commodore Harold §. Vanderbilt al- | most immediately made an attempt |to escape. He sent his boat over on the port tack two minutes after the start but the Shamrock quickly fol- lowed, and retained her advantage With a 15 knot breeze and Sham- rock giving the American boat a battle from the start, it appeared as though the most exciting race of the series was in prospect. The contest is decided with the first boat to win four races and with | two already won, the Enterprise was in a position to take chances that the Shamrock could hardly afford (o wager. Then came the accident A brisk breeze of about 15 miles an hour was blowing out of the southwest at 9 a. m., E. S. T., giv- | ing prospect for an exciting race. | The two racing yachts headed out | for the starting line under tow shortly before 9. Sea Much Rougher The surface of the sea was much | rougher than on the two previous |racing days, which was in favor of | Enterprise as she has shown a dispo- | sition to ride the seas much better {than Shamrock. The latter threw |spray in a gentle swell Monday, dip- | ping her bow deeply into the water. The general direction of the wind ’mude it possible to send the racing | vachts over the windward leg of the pen ocean course first, with a run | back to the starting line in front of the wind. Today's course was as the first day's, a windward-leeward 15 ‘mlln leg each way. Enterprise broke out her big | mainsail while en route to the start- ing line. | The spectator fleet continued to dwindle, the pleasure craft following he racers out to sea today being far below the number that watched the first race last Saturday. Visibility was much better for the start today than for either of the | previous racing days. | Possible Showers Forecast | The forecast for the day was over- ast skies and local showers with a | fresh south or southwesterly wind. Shamrock did not break out her sails on the tow out to the starting line. Her high mast bare, she rolled and pitched in the uneasy sea. The Enterprise, with her mainsail up, went along much more smoothly under tow. The smaller of the spetcator fleet also made heavy weather of the go- ing, dromising several cases of sea- | sickness for those not used to the roll and pitch of the open sea. he waves were flecked with white her now, The lively breeze is suited to show Enterprise’s best sailing points. Shamrock V has not negotiated the here to the tisfaction of her sailing master and the change in trim may help her today All hands on the cup yachts ten- ders were astir early, happy in the outlook for a real contest. Dec were sanded and then sails were chosen and bent on. The Enter- prise and Shamrock soon were ready to slip their moorings and head away for the starting line, nine miles seutheast of Brenton Reef light ship. when the mishap to Shamrock oc- curred, but then turned back on the | course, apparently determined to | rail out the race and claim the vic- | tory. | in Dragging Sail | The tug Susan A. Moran, carry- | ing the race committee, steamed over to the disabled Shamrock did the Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton’s steam yacht. The challenger's crew, however, hauled in their big sail elone and then Captain Ned Heard turned his boat back toward the starting line, running ahead of the wind in only her top sails. The rest of the big spectator fleet gtayed close by for a few minutes then sct off after the Enter- prise, footing jt away jor the 15- mile mark. Sir Thomas' Shamrock IV won the first race in 1920 under almast iden- tical conditions as those which over- came his vessel today. In that race, which was held off Sandy Hook, Resolute's throat hal- vard parted and Shamrock IV sailed out the race, as was her privilege, and was declared the winner. She also won the second race, but then Resolute won three in a row and kept the cup. The series that year was best three out of five. Hau! and | were made to head The day was bright and smiling, the sun rising like a copper disc nd quickly burning away a few clouds that scudded in on the west- y breeze. After colors were made the vachting fleet, preparations away for the tarting line. The pleasant day th contrasted so sharply with the heavy foggy weather of yesterday brought out a large crowd on the excursion on | steame: “It looks like we are going to have a smart day for a bit of brush,” said r Thoma; “and maybe my Shamrock will yet show what is in her. She is a better boat than she has shown here.” Harold Vanderbilt, skipper of tha cup defender made his weather oh- servations from the deck of th» yacht Vara. As usual he had no comment to make on the coming contest. Fhe Shamrock was first to reach the starting line. She set her main- sail, jib and stay sail and went cruising about the committee boat. She did not seem comfortable in the sea that was running, dipping her prow into the waves, a fault that seemed certain to handicap her in the race. Enterprise reached the starting line still wearing only her main sail. Holsts Course Signal The race committee hoisted the course signal at 10:15, instructing | the boats to sail the first 15 mile legt west southwest, or almost di- rectly into the wind. If the wind does not change in the meantime, this would give them a fast run home ahead of the breeze for the |last 15 miles of the race. | With the start of the race, sched- uled for 10:40, but a few minutes away, both Enterprise and challen- ger were jockeying about the start- an advantageous position. along her lee rail. Enterprise kept her head up, seeming to have greater buoyancy | forward. The ten minute warning signal was sounded at 10:30 by the steam whistle of the committee tug boat. The five minute preparatory signal was sounded at 10:35. Both Start For Line Both Enterprisc and Shamroc came down on the starting lin more than a minute before the siz nal sounded at 10:40 and it appear- ed that one or both might cross it prematurely and have to go back Both skippers had gauged the time to a nicety and although bot had to round down the line a con- siderable distance, the helm of each went over almost simultancously with the starting whistle and thoy crossed the line bow to bow. Shamrock's skipper outfoxed Com modore Vanderbilt, noted for his starts, and for the first time since the series opened the green sloop was in the weather berth and foot- ing along as fast as the Amcrican defender. Both boats were carrying topsails, jibs and staysails went over the line for the beat to windward. At 10:52 the Shamrock, for a rea- son that was not evident, went over on her port tack and was quickly followed by Enterprise. Helps Defender The maneuver seemed to be juct to Vanderbilt's liking as the Ente \prise started footing rlong fast than the challenger. At 11 o'clock the initial advantage of Shamrock was largely overcoms, as Vanderbilt worked the white bo up to weather of the Shamrock, ani about two boat lengths back, too close for Shamrock to cross his bow. Enterprise continued smoothly on her way after the mishap to Sham- rock had eliminated the British challenger for the day. Vanderbjlt took in one of his head sails, but the big white sloop con- tinued to foam along, spray flying over her from stem to stern and giving the commodore a good drenching at the wheel. Enterprise rounded the half way at 12:45:15. It had taken her two hcurs, 14 minutes and 15 seconds to complete the fifteen mile wind- ward leg. She had ahead of her a 15 mile run back to the starting line in front of the wind. The Enterprise broke out as they rounded the turn, icus to take of sail she apparently anx- dvantage of every inch could safely carry and Yacht Too Heavy Newport, R. I, Sept. a fat old man on Msa the latter probably will win. There you have the story on Enterprise's two victories over Shamrock V, Sir Thomas Lipton's fifth challenger for the America's cup, and there also is the reason virtually everyone who knows anything about racing yachts expects Enterprise to take her third victory today. It is simply that Sir Thomas' green-hulled challenger is carrying too much weight. Her wooden ma is shorter than that of Enterprise, but it weighs a ton and a quarter more-than the towering hollow metal spar of Harold Vanderbilt's de- fender. The Vanderbilt sloop carries a hol- low boom, larger as dimensions go, but it weighs 1200 pounds less than Shamrock’s. Shamrock was built to Lloyd's scantlings and as a capable cruising craft ,for she had to cross the ocean on her own bottom and under her own sail to meet the con- ditions of the contest. Her interior fittings, berths, galley and other crew equipment, weighed 7,500 pounds. Material Removed All that material was removed after her arrival in these waters and she was allowed to take aboard bal- last to correspond, but that ballast must be carried in-board, whereas Enterprise’s designer was in a posi- tion to place that tonnage some te feet lower, on the defender's keel where it is far more efficient in maintaining the stability of a sailing craft. What wonder that Shamrock's crew were discouraged as they pre- pared the old Irish sportsman’s fifth hope of recovering the famous trophy for the starting line toda They were hoping that a good brisk breeze might favor the green sloop, but those who terprise run away from Weetamoe, the unsuc- cessful Morgan-Nichols candidate for the defense, in a good blow, be- lieved it a forlorn hope. Must Win Four Races To lift the cup, Shamrock V must take four out of five races and Enterprise needs only two more vic- tories to retain for America the world's sailing championship. Sham- rock’s crew and her afterguard, al- though none wish their names in the public prints, now admit t conditions prevailing on the ocean cup course are not those under which Shamrock established a repu- tation for fast sailing on the other side of theAtlantic. Over there the breeze was steady and dependable and the sea smooth. nine miles off Brenton Reef lightship are disturbed by all manner of tidal currents and ground swells, and the wind frequently is fluky and not to be depended on to blow from any one quarter of the compass. The unruly sea and the ground swell has proved unpleasant to Shamrock. Her bow has not lifted to the heave of the sea, but has dived through it, and when a boat does that she loses way. Compliment Vanderbilt The crew of Shamrock have many complimentary things to say for Harold S. Vanderbilt, the defender's skipper. For Monday's race, one of the afterguard said: “He is a good sport.
