SHENANDOAH A

ON Sept. 8, 1926, the navy dirigi-
~ BILE Shenandoah, pride of the
country's air fleet, was ripped apart
by a thunder storm on its way to
GAINESVILLE, o., and crashed to the
ground near Caldwell, o., killing
fourteen officers and men, includ-
ing her captain, Lieutenant Com
mander Zachary Lansdowne.
The Shenandoah was the third
dirigible belonging to the govern
ment which met with disaster. The
first was the Roma, which crashed
near Hampton Roads in 1922 with a
loss of thirty-four lives; the other,
the zR-2, formerly the British R-38,
caught fire over Hull, England, in
1921 and killed sixteen American
navy men and forty English men,
bers of the crew.
The Shenandoah was the first
rigid aifship built in the United
States. Her construction, though
all American, was modelled after the
German Zeppelin Lac.
The Shenandoah was neither built
nor equipped for commercial work,
but was intended rather as an ex-
pertinent.
Experts declare that the navigat-
ing officer of the Shenandoah evil

its last trip.
Today. a commercial company
would be compelled by insurance
concerns to provide thorough
weather reports to its pilots and
thus enable airships to get away
from severe storms.

Max SChmeling Says Athletic
Body CoddIed Sbarkey

New York, June IS (UP)-Before
s4linc for Germany last night
aboard the s. s. Bremen, Max
Schmeling. heavyweight champion,
laid responsibility for the current
epidemic of fights which end in
fouls squarely at the door of the
New York State Athletic commits
sion
when a commission protects a
fighter as Jack Sharkey was pro-
tected, when It fails to punish him
in any way after he has hit foul
when it makes it possible for him
10 fight again for the world cham
pionship within three months, is It
any wonder there are SO many
fouls" asked Schmeling,
Il bet YOU" and here the serio1s
young German leaned over and
tapped me on his knee to emphasize
his point. Il bet you, that if Shar-
key had been punished for foulins
me as another fighter not under the
commissions protection would sure
~ have been punished, there would
have been no foul in the Godfrey
Camera fight at Philadelphia last
Monday"
Schmeling said ne was planning
10 return to meet Sharkey in a re-
turn bout in September. He said It
with a touch of bitterness in his
usually good natured, modulated
voice. for he feels sincerely that he
has been forced unwarrantedly into
this sudden defense of the heavy
weight title.
If I mad the misfortune TO foul

demanded Max. Would they have

New York, June 23-The victory
fleet of British yachts in British va
ters in 1851, brought forth several
developments.
The now memorable race estab-
lished the international race for
Americas cup, which has caused
the expenditure of millions Of dol
lars. But more important, it also
gave birth to a new era. in design
ing ships, both in commercial and
pleasure craft.
Designers dropped the habit of
producing vessels with blunt lines.
and carried them to heightened
lines, such as We're used on the
schooner America. This same prin-
ciple. with few variations. has been
carried into the production Of mod
ern yachts.
Four yachts have been built this
year to defend the cup against Sir
Lipton's challenge, and the difference
of the designs is small.
Yankee, a creation Of Frank c.
Paine, carries out the principle of a
moderate reverse curve upward from
the heel of the stern post to the va
terline at the bow.
The Weetamoe. planned by Clinton
II. Crane, is almost straight from the
heel to the fore-end Of the water
line. W. Startling Burgess in the En-
terprise has developed a boat with a
slight curve on the bottom sweeping
into a convex curve and then con-
cave at the waterlino.
The Whirlwind, a yacht by L.
Francis Hereschoff, is somewhat of
the character OF the former defend
er Resolute. She has a moderate
rake TO her lines. while her keel is
fairly straight and almost parallel to
the waterline.
In Shamrock V Charles T. Mich
olson. designer, has attempted 10
develop a boat to perform best in
light and moderate weather. Her
lines are closest in resemblance to
the Enterprise. and from present
indications it will not be unlikely to
have these two matched for the final
New Britain herald., 1930-06-28
to have overlooked what the fight

to have overlooked what the fight
ers think.
It is idle to say facetiously that
fighters cannot think, for if they
could not they never could stage
these histrionic fouls which are
rapidly driving the boxing game 10
a possibly well-warranted end.
Max SchmeIing, at any rate, has
some thoughts on the subject.
The public complains" said the
German. and they are right. But
whose fault is it, after all. The
public elects the officials who ap-
point the boxing commission. Then
the commission deliberately protects
fighter as they have Sharkey.
IF the commission had made an
example of Sharkey as they would
have done in the case of many
others, it would have had a great
and beneficial effect in ending this
business of fouling. But they pun
ished him not at all What must
other fighters think ?'
Schmeling proposed drastic pun
ishment for the fighter committing
the foul, loss of his purse, loss Of
his license for six T,cnths, perhaps.
But as to requiring bcXer who has
been hit low TO continue, Max would
not agree to that.
IF it is just a little low blow, a
blow that does not really hurt, a
blow on the leg (such as Phil Scott
received), then the fighter should
go on. If he is a real man, he Will
do So" SchmelIng said.
But when blow is struck below
the protector, a man is incapacitat-
ed. Rules are rules, you cannot
force a man disabled by such a blow
to fight when he cannot even stanI
Personally, l cannot understand
Why and how a trained boxer, with
such experience as the top-uotch
fighters have could possibly Strike
such blow as Sharkey landed on
NE. 1t is impossible for me to conf
prehend how he could do i.
IF there were one rule-one
very strict rule-for all, I 90 not
think you would see so many fouls.
But when commission plays favor
ties and protects fighter, then the
commission must accept the conse-
qUences of such an action
