NEVER INTENDED A CHANGE, DECLARES TOM LIPTON LONDON, April 17—Regarding the statements that in the event the 23-metre Shamrock proved faster than the challenger, Sham- rock IV. in the trials, he would sk the New York t Club to be allowed to substitute the boat in the race for the America’s Cup, Sir Thomas Lipton declared to the Associated Press here: “| have never dreamed of sug- gesting such a course. | am fully aware that having challenged with the Shamrock IV. | cannot race any other boat against the Ameri- can defending yacht without issu- ing another challenge in accord- ance with the rules covering the contest.” ‘The Shamrock IV. may have to give six minutes time allowance to the American defender in the coming America’s Cup races. This is only an estimate, but it is one’ that was hazarded yesterday by Col. Duncan b. D. Neill, Who will act a8 Sir Thomas Lipton’s personal representative in the cup matters and who arrived from Eagland yesterday on the steam- ship Adriatic to remain until after the contests in July, Charles E. Nicholson, Shamrock’s designer and builder, admitted when he was in this country last winter that Shamrock would have to give either the Resolute or Vanitie a han- dicap of several minutes over the thirty-mile course, and expressed confidence she wpuld be able to do it It is kdown he designed her at the top of the measurement class for, 7-feet waterline buats, figuring her to run away from the American yachts, which measure: well below the top. Resolute is almost at the bottom, of the class, and the Vanitie to rate much lower, with the c! being made in her, than she the trial races in 1914, Their measurements have been kept as have the Shamrock’s, and com- parative computation can only based on what is known of the lines and spar lengths of all but undoubtedly the handicap in coming contests will be the largest in any cup races ever held, and in- stead of the defender giving time, as was the case in the last races eeven- teen years ago, the shoe will the other foot.
