RESOLUTE STILL CHOICE
Remains / to 2 Favorite Over
Shamrock as Races Renewed To-
day-Both Yachts Repaired.

SANDY HOOK, N. J., July IL
Resolute and Shamrock ", repairs
made, went into their race today for
the Americas cup in prime condition.
The American boat remains a 1-to-2
favorite.
The victory of Shamrock w in the
first race Thursday might have been
a defeat or no race at all for all its
effect on the odds that were being
offered last night in betting circles.
Instead of the break in the odds
that normally would have followed
the initial triumph of the challeng-
ing yacht there was no deviation
from the steady sentiment in favor
of Resolute.
Wall street betting commissioners
reported a perceptible increase in
the number of wagers on the yacht
races. although even with the IN
crease the total sum wagered IS
more than 100000 below that OF
1903.
Whereas Thursdays race was over
a windward and leeward course-ff-
teen-mile beat down the Jersey shore
and return-today's contest will be
over a triangular course. ten miles
to a leg.
The Shamrock needs two more wins
to take the cup, while the Resolute
must score three times to retain it.
There will be another race Tuesday.
and after that, if more than three are
necessary contests will be held daily.
After remeasuring the Shamrock
sails it was announced that the Res
olute's time allowance will stand at
6 minutes 40 seconds.
