HEAVY TASK
FACES RESOLUTE.
In order to escape defeat Resolute
today faced the task of winning three
straight races from her sturdy masted
and heavily sailed rival.
Today's weather forecast, indicating
gentle, shifting winds, mostly from the
south, was as favorable to Shamrock as
ii was to the defender.
Needless to say, Skipper William P.

him in every race so far were today as
sured that no changes are TO be made
throughout the remainder OF the series.
