SOME DEEP-DYED
VILLAIN DID THIS

A peck of trouble befell Mrs. F.
l.. Roberts, E127 Sinto av.. yester-
day afternoon. She had planned a
lawn social for her friends, and was
to provide an ice cream lunch on
the side. But when she went to
look for the ice cream, which was
nicely slowed in the freezer with
sailed ice and the other things nee
essary to make 1t real cold and
delicious, she couldn't find it. Some
one had stolen freezer, ice cream
and all. She reported the matter
to the police.

of her forepart, was generally known
as the Snubnosed ship, or 'Snubby for

consequently, she carried her bows

the merits OF the dark blue oarsmen
than ITO those Of the boat they raced
in. DR.. Ware made one more attempt
at a similar design, but this was un-
and we have now reverted
to boats of from G2 to SO feet long
over all, with q fair allowance OF
length in the bows. The boat In which

year was considerably shorter than
that of their opponents. She was built
bluff on purpose, but she, too. had
the demerit of carrying her bows low
in the water. To allow for the great
length Of their slides, and the con-
sequent necessity ef placing the

"rhe idea of B. a. Jessup the holder
of several championship singles, to
put seats outside the boat altogether,
or oyer the water, to permit an extra
leverage Of about two feet, gained
between the rowlock and the handle,
naturally involves the placingi Of the
stretcher outside the boat" says r.
C Lehman, the noted English rowing
| expert and Il former coach of the Har-
ward crew. The first question which
1 suggests Itself to nc IS how is the
! stretcher to be made strong enough?
There Is no way known to me by
/ which it can be done.
Again. there is no amount OF sta
| bility which | have seen in a racing
1 boat which will prevent it rolling to
| a certain extent occasionally during
practice. What theory Of stability has
Mr.. Jessup got which will prevent his
| craft from so rolling as to immense the
! bow side ana the stroke side in the
water alternately-seats, stretchers
ana all? He says that his boat is to be
fused only in still water, but you can't
/ have one boat for smooth and another
/ for rough water. On the Putney-to-
/ Niortlake course you may have the
4 first part. from Putney toglIammer-
/ smith, absolutely smooth, and then
when you have rounded the bend, you
may strike a head wind which vii
/ raise a stormy sea against you. Are
you to leap ont of the boat at Ham
mersmith and leap into another tt
row the rest of the course?
II have another objection to Mr.
i Jessup's plan. That is in the trcmen
dous length required for the oars.
/ do not believe there is any human
power which could WELD the oars re
/ CURED for the boat. If. as Mr. Jessul
i proposes, you put an extra Leverage
of two feet on 'Ac oars, you viii thel
increase their inboard measurement
from feet 5 inches, which is abou
