The Coney Island ferry boat Taurus,

ly Shamrock ~ was a dowd among
yachts compared to the graceful but

sweep around the lightship. On the

ShanlrOck Wins With
Ne,UIy Designed Sail

The "Shamrock puller" won the
second yacht race for Sir Thomas
Upton and may give him the
Americas Cup. 1t was invented
by Captain Charles Nicholson, de-
signer of the challenger, and was
used for the first time in yester-
days race. The "Shamrock
puller" is small triangular iib-
sail setting close down the mast
and running from the stem of the
bowsprit to point just below
the foot of the topmast, just fill
ing in the space between the big
flying jib and the mast.
Designer Nicholson declared
early in the race that he would
not name the new sail until to-
day, but when Shamrock passed
the finish line we'll ahead of the
defender, he said cts the Sham
rock puller.' -"
New-York tribune., 1920-07-21

that part of the time it seemed merely
a drifting contest Rounding the first
stake, there was beat west by north
and here both yachts were all but be-
calmed. But always after the first
few miles Shamrock Nv led.
On the attendant boats the opinion
was almost unanimous that there would
be no race, but the amazement grew
that the Shamrock should lead in that
light wind and that quiet sea. The
breeze fseshened slightly as the green
boat worked up to the second stake
and those who had gone below to loll
came up and began to take interest
in the yachts again.
Starting on the third and last leg
the blunt nose of Shamrock was push
ing through the quiet seas more than
8 mile ahead of the defender. Even
then the suggestion that the challenger
might win race aroused derision. There
was an almost imperceptible quicken
ing of the breeze. 1t probably blew
about five miles an hour and Shamrock
hoisted more canvas and started to
reach for the~nnish mark with the out
line of the dainty defender growing
DINNER and DINNER in the distance.
From the bridge of the destroyer
Semmes Captain Gully" Norton an
nounced that the Shamrock certainly
would finish within her time. Then the
interest quickened. Made blase by the
first fluky win and the second fluky fu-
tility, the watchers on the Semmes had
begun to think lightly of the sport.
that this might be the turning point,
the second victory of Sir Thomas Lip
ton is his game struggle for the cup:
1t, was drawing near to the climax OF
the sea fight that had been going on
since the America had Brought home
that hundred guinea cup from British
waters.

the Scottish peer: "Sir Thomas Upton

ter of an hour delay in the start as
the yachts jockeyed around in barely
enough wind to keep their sails filled.
On the starting signal the Shamrock
passed around the stake boat in the
lead. 1t was slow business and Reso-
lutte followed within the minute. The
green sloop seemed to founder, while
the white boat glided gracefully. Sails
broke out on Shamrock w and trouble
broke simultaneously.
While the graceful white sloop
heeled until her bronze belly showed
as she glided past the fat-nosed green
hulk, Shamrock presented ludicrous
| figure when the balloon went UP like a
twisted rag and her fiat prov, with the
sawed off railroad tie jutting out from
it, began to ship water in the ground
swells. 1t was no race; it was fasco.
1t was as though Captain Burton, chal-
longing his i'll luck. had been beaten at
| the start.
Then the crew in whites rolled up
the useless canvas as it Topped to the
deck and in what seemed utter des-
peration Shamrock ~ ran out long
spinnaker. In the light breeze that
would not fill it this canvas futtered
into the water. The graceful Resolute
glided by like a pretty young thing,
woman tangled up in tawdry draperies,
! but Resolute passed to the leeward.
Later in the day one of the hackers
of the American boat suggested that
this might have been supersea
courtesy upon the part of Captain
Charles Francis Adams in a desire to
give an adversary for whom he felt
sort of pity some advantage or some
chance. If Resolute gave Shamrock
any courtesy or consideration all those
on board had plenty Of cause to regret
it later.
When the ridiculous spinnaker came
down, Shamrock was sailing under little
canvas, the captain and the crew seem
ing to be utterly baffled by their i'll
luck. Then came the triangular piece
Of canvas forward, while the yachting
experts raked their memories to find q
name for it. A sort of new kind OF
balloon jib--no, reaching jib. No
everybody was wrong, it was a fiddler's
jib, something that had never been
tried in a big race before. The de-
signer of the Shamrocks announced
that it was to go down under the name
of "Shamrock's puller"
1t did pull Shamrock 1t pulled he,
right out of the trough of despondency
