Fife's seen my designer In over three weeks. W9 AFTER COLUMBIA HAD LEFT HER MOORINGS TO GO TO THE STARTING TOINT FOR TIIE FIRST OF THE ATTEMPTS AT RACING WITH SHAMROCK, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BOAT LAY TOO DEEPLY IN THE WATER, AND WAS NOT IN TIIE TRIM REQUIRED BY TIIE AGREEMENT WITH SHAMROCK. THIS WAS OWING TO TIIE AMOUNT OF HAMPER ABOARD, SO IT WAS DECIDED TO GET RID OF A BIG, EXTRA IRON SPINNAKER BOOM THAT LAY ON TIIE DECK. THERE WAS NOT TIME TO TRANSFER TIIE THING TO A TENDER, SO CAPTAIN BARR HAD ALL THE LIFE-PRESERVERS ABOARD STRAPPED TO THE SPAR, WHICH WAS THROWN OVERBOARD. TIIE TENDER ST.

Well, then we suffw beosus Mr. Fife Is unable to be about and direct these matters that none of the others of our party are skilled In. Is she on her true water line the line she was designed to sail on? We are not sure.

Her designer would know; but he bas not seen bis bout since she was first measured. He Is sic and unable to leave his room. We do not know whether Shamrock bas ever In these waters sailed on her true water line. She Is certainly not now sailing on the same water line as when she sailed In the Solent. The ballast put In the yacht to-day was put In on Mr.

Fife's advice. Has It been so placed as to aerve the exact purpose he Intended? We do not know to a certainty. He is sick and we have done the best we know how. It is a most serious handicap for us to be deprived of his personal direction and advice." Measurer John Hyslop announced at the j.

Pittse ftiuo. ROW AMONG SPIRITUALISTS. Edward K. Earle of San Francisco Accused of Fraud. CHICAGO, October 18.

A question of the genuineness of the practice of one of the leading spiritualists of California produced a lively SHAMROCK'S OWNER ALTERS THE J3y Captain Hnnk Hnff. NEW YORK, October 18. Shamrock's managers are either having trouble getting their boat In proper trim or they are afraid she will not be able to carry her enormous sail spread comfortably If there Is a strong breeze for to-day's race, for they put more than a ton and a half of lead in her as she lay In Erie Basin yesterday morning. While this is not a large amount of lead, It was sufficient to put the yacht down In the water a few Inches and 'increased her water line length 1.26 feet. This lead will be placed as low In the bold of the boat as it Is possible to get it, several feet below the water line, and when the yacht lists over under the force of the wind, will form a leverage that will add greatly to her stability.

Just why Shamrock received this extra amount of lead Is hard for all outsiders to tell, as she bas always seemed to carry her sail fully as well, if not better, than Columbia. It Is more than probable, however, that the lead was put In to alter her trim, that is, to tip her by the head or stern. If the yacht bas a tendency to steer hard the weight would be put aft to make her steer easier, and if she Is Inclined to fall off easily, or carry a lee helm, the weight, If placed forward, would remedy this to a certain extent SPORTS ooooooooooooo oooooooooo THIRD RACE or leeward, and bark, the start to be made 11 o'clock, as usual. The ballast put aboard Shamrock last eight consists of pigs of lead weighing about twenty-five pounds each, made handy ra shape to stow between the frames of the yacht, down as low as possible, where they will do the most good. Most of this weight was put aft, judging from the appearance of the yaoht to-day, for she seemed to trim more by the stern than before.

It was learned to-day that the cause ot the accident to the topmast was not the parting of the shroud at the "nip," as was generally supposed. The mast Itself broke first, not being able to stand the strain brought upon it by the wrenching swing of the great club-topsail spars when the yacht plunged Into the head seas. One of the shrouds broke, It Is said, when the wreckage went down to leeward. Columbia's men had a day of rest. A number ot Sir Thomas Llpton's guests sailed to-day tor Europe on the White Star steamship Oceanic.

Lord and Lady Carlta Btresford were the last to go aboard the liner. The othjr guests of Sir Thomas who Salle on the Ooeanlo were the Hon. Cecil Brown-low, Halnford Burdette, Hie Right Hon. Arnold Morley, M. Fan Morley, Mr.

Earl of San Francisco had been placed on the programme for demonstrations Friday evening, and Delegat Young from California objected, saying that Mr.

Enrle had been convicted of fraud and expelled by the State association, and that It Earle were allowed to demonstrate he would take the next train for California. Other delegate came to the defense ot Mr. Earle, saying that the line between truth and falsehood in spiritualistic matters was so dim-, cult to discern that they would like to see the charges against the San Franciscan proved before lie was'thrown out of the convention. The debate waxed warm before President Harrlsoa D. llartett could explain that Mr.

DOCTOR SAYRE ENCOURAGED The Champion to Have a Physician at His Headquarters From Now On. By W. W. AniiBhton. Special Dispatch to "The NEW YORK, October 18.

W. manager of Jim Jeffries, has his mind that the training a champion pugilist is not unless It includes a physician. A. Brady, made up staff of complete Brady has arranged with Dr. H.

W. Fralienthal, assistant to Dr. Sayre, to remain at the camp at Allenhurst during the balance of Jeffries' training. The doctor left for the scene of bis labors last night. Dr.

Fralienthal wilt give speclflo attention to Jeffries' stralntd left arm, and In addition will advise with the trainers from time to time in order that Jeffries may receive whatever medical treatment may be considered neoessary in order to send him Into the ring In the best possible condition. Jeffries will remain under the physician's care up to the night of the championship contest. Brady advances as his mail reason for introducing this novelty into training methods his belief that a pugilist preparing for a match should have a medical man at his elbow at all times. When the contest In view is a championship affair Involving thousands of dollars, to say nothing the 1 JEFFRIES' ADM COMING BOB IINFftllAI Pn VAI UNEQUALED VALUES FOR RUSTY 6010 Tine The Stanch Red Dog Ran in Good Form Yesterday. CONTROLLER WAS RUNNER-UP Two Stakes Will Be Run by Union and San Mateo Coursing Associations.

Rusty Gold, that good old dog comparatively who has been "on the turf" almost steadily for the past two years, annexed another stake to his string of winnings at Union Park yesterday. Rusty found little difficulty In disposing of bis opponents until the final course, when he met the runner-up, Controller. The red dog scored a good lead on Controller and held first place, scoring many points to his credit until the hare had reached the far eastern escape. Then Coi.troller took possession of the game and led Rusty in almost a straight run oown the fence to the lower escape, where Kusty got in for few oolnts. He fell away suddenly and Controller then led hlmrweil to.

the southeast i i escape, wnere me naro wiaucu ui mnn evening. It was a great day for the short-enders. In the first round not less than nine of the dogs that figured on the short end in the betting won the flags that made happy the "pikers," who always play, as a rule, the underdog. In the second round, consisting of twelve courses, seven of the favorites fell down, and again there was great rejoicing among the short-end players. With the exception, ot one or two courses, the favorites won all courses from the third round up to the final.

In support of bis contention, Brady argues that bad there been a doctor at the training quarters on that day last week when Roebcr temporarily disabled the champion by burling a medicine ball at him, Jeffries would have received such prompt advice and treat-meet thut there would have been no ooca-rion to request a postponement of the fight. Jeffries came to town again to-day to bavo his Injury attended to by Dr. Sayre, The lutter expressed himself aa surprised at the improved condition of affairs.

After steaming and massaging the arm. Or. Sayre declared bis belief that Jeffries would be in proper shape to box Sharltey on November 3d. Jeffries himself Is much more cheerful over the outlook. He said that, barring a slight stiffness in the elbow joint, there was nothing about the arm now to remind him of the accident.

He Is perfectly satis-fled that the added week will give him ample time to have his famous left in serviceable shape and perfect his condition generally. A question that is being discussed with much animation Just now is bow will the setback experienced by Jeffries affect the betting on the tight? As I intimated some days ago, there wai a number of persons who suspected that Jeffries' injury was not genuine and that the report of the accident had been trumped up by certain parties, who hoped to reap a harvest backing Jeffries, If they were not compelled to give too liberal odds. This view of the matter bas been dissipated almost entirely since Dr. Sayre reported on Jeffries' condition. Now the curious want to know how the champion's patched-up arm will hold out In a fight such as Sharkey is almost sure to'compel tho champion to be a party to.

In the natural order of things. Jeffries would have been the favorite In the coming mill. It Is more than probable he will be the favorite even now, but it is sate to say that the wrenaa he received at bis quarters when practicing with Roeber will cause wagering to be light until close up to tho date of the contest. Many of those who pin their falti to Jeffries will wait until late in the day bore making bets. Some of those who at first intended backing him will not bet on the fight at all.

They are fearful that the crippled left will not be anything like "as good as new" when the champion toes the scratoii, end that a whirl or two at close quarters with the powerful sailor may leave Jeffries' favorite arm in a more dilapidated condi tion tnan it was a day or two ago. Much praise is bestowed on Sharkey for agreeing so readily to a week's postponement and waiving the forfeit. As reason for nis magnanimity Tom said to-day: "I'm Ing to defeat the big fellow and I can afford to be generous. 1 dan't want his $2,500 and I don't want to beat a crippled man. I said long ago that I'd be champion of the world in 1900, atid I'll make it good.

After I've earned the title, I wouldn't like some one to say that my opponent wasn't at his best." Sharkey has done very little work since Saturday last and will not resume his full routine of training for several days yet. Jeffries for the next few days will favor road work. He will begin sparring with Tommy Ryan just as soon as Dr. Fralienthal considers the injured arm sufficiently recovered. Brooklyn Defeats Philadelphia.

FOR THE NEWS OF THE YACHT RACE WATCH the flags on "The Examiner" building to-day! As on all previous occasions, they will furnish the earliest and most reliable news of the great yacht race between Columbia and Shamrock.

"The Examiner" lyts an unequaled bulletin service and has made every possible effort to have information of the progress of the boats presented to the public as rapidly as It can be written after It bas been flashed across the continent on special wire. "Old Glory" will flutter from "The Examiner" flag pole at all times during the race, but there will be smaller flags to show whether the American or foreign yacht is ahead. Wfhen Columbia shows her heels to the challenger a small American flag will be raised on the halliards.
