FIFE TAKES A LONG. SHOT
Designer of Shamrock III, Will
Shorten Her Fin Keel to
:ss-. Twenty Feet. ss.:. .:. : :. .:Sz3.-.

Although the most strict precautions are
taken to prevent information regarding
the design Of the new cup challenger from
becoming public. it is learned from a re-
liable source that Designer Fife has taken
a most desperate chance in introducing
q revolutionary. feature in the building Of
Shamrock III. If successful at all, it will
add fifteen seconds to the yachts speed
every time it goes about.
The fin keel Of the present challenger is
to be only 20 feet long, whereas 35 feet
has heretofore been considered the short
est possible length of keel. This means
the boat must be perfectly designed in
order to balance the 1870 feet of hull on
this short mass of metal. Mr.. Fife con-
siders Columbia's success to have been
due to this perfect balance. If Shamrock
III. proves to be equally we'll proportioned,
it's remarkably short keel will enable. it tic
spin like a top every time it goes about
This new feature is considered by com
petent judges to be the boldests sort of ar
experiment. but certain to provided a mar
velously fast boat if it will sail at all.

IN THE PRIZE RING

The question of what constitutes the
difference between a public and private
sparring exhibition was argued at Boston
yesterday in connection with test case
in the East Boston court, and while the

exhibitions was an attempt to evade the
law, the court was forced, in the absence
of damaging evidence, to discharge the
