London, March 30. Charles Nicholson. who was selected by Sir Thomas Lipton to design and build Shamrock IV. is one of three brothers who compose one of the oldest and largest firms of yacht builders in Great Britain. The firm was established as long ago as 170, and they have turned out many famous racers.

Latterly, of course, they have been engaged chiefly ta building boats for racing under the European international rule, which produces healthy sea-going vessels. One of the most successful of the firms latest boats Is the Istria, which his met with great success In European waters. Linton Hope, the well known racing yacht architect. In a recent Interview on the prospects of success for the British boat in case a race for the America Cup should be arranged said: The great handicap Is still the passage across the Atlantic. The hull of the racer that has to make this trip can be strengthened by internal struts, which can be removed after the voyage, but the boat cannot be built as light as one that has not to make the passage because she might not be able to stand the atraln of very bad weather.

There are possible ways of doing U. but they Involve risk. Personally, I wouid prepare to take it." Asked as to whether there had been any new discoveries in the science of yacht building since the last race for the America Cup, Mr. Hope replied: There have been several discoveries, but they are all equally available to American builders, and so the Initial advantage still rests with them. Boats of this kind are only built for the special purposes of the Cup, and I do not think there has been any advance in design.

Aluminum was used in one of the other Shamrocks it was in use for racing yachts as long ago aa 1893 and no doubt the newer and better aluminum alloy would be used In building a boat. The great advance has been in the direction of rigging. Strength for strength, wire rigging is much lighter, and blocks of aluminum are a quarter the weight of steel ones. But the Americans have them all. 4 Humpy ITEveea's Protegees Will Tackle IlaryyiHe TMs Week.

L'i l5 CHVTd-CC- New York. March 30. According to Frank Chance, manager of the New York Americana. now has a better baseball team than he had last year, when he finished in third place in tne National leagn with the Chicago Cuba, with whom ha won tho title of peerless leader In this connection Manager -Chance Is quoted as follows hare better material for a winning ball clnb this Spring than that with which 1 landed third place in the National leagne 'sat season. I am not claim, lng a thing, understand, bnt I honestly and firmly believe tbat the Tankeos of 1913 are stronger and faster, everything considered.

than the Cubs of 11113. And that elnb good enough to beat five National league teams. I dont know where were going to finish, but I do know New lorlt has a regular bail clnb, one that looks good enough to me tc win a whole lot of games. have a cracking good ontSeia, will have a capable Infield and our pitchers are tbe best, ss a staff, that I have had in years. That sort of a combination is a bard one to beat.

Tbe trouble with this ball club tbe past couple of years bas been that it bas never taken itself and baseball seriously enough. It pas jnat moved along, working through its schedule without bothering to worry a great deal over -anything that might happen to it. It never seemed to occur to it tliat-onlv a very little application would make a inning club of it. There are all sorts of posaibi'Ities dn this team of mine if they can be brought ont, and Stallings proved a while ago that the thing can be -done. Get the Yankees off to a good start, instill in them a desire to win nnd an honest and whole, souled dislike for losing and you'll males a high class ball club of it.

When the fans in the Bradley county town got thoroughly peeved, tney got after Chestnntt with rocks, sticks a few knives, sad the retreat beat by -Cheatnutt was more hasty than dignified. The above is by way of introduction to story recently published la a Birmlng-sm paper about Chestnutt, so It Is quit easy to guess a bat fans are referred to in the Scott Chestnutt. a minor league umpire, who hopes to graduate some day, was la the Appalachian league awhile last sesson, but this year will hold the Indicator la another clreult. Since he feels assured he won't be back In the Appalachian circuit, he thinks It safe to tell a few experiences he had there. He opened np his stay la one of the Tennessee mill towns end the first day out did not make a hit with the fans.

The next morning, ae he was stroling around the village, he saw a crowd of men and boys throwing rocks at mark. They were quiet and businesslike about it, but now and then one would remark exulting ly. That 110 would have got him. Scott couldnt figure it. eo he asked one of the participants, Sny, friend, what are you doing I Doing said the- man, bsre'y stopping bis hurling for an instant, -why, were practicing for the new umpire.

He's such an all-fired little cuss he's going to be hard to hit. Thus reassured, Chestnutt went hack to his boarding boose for dinner. His landlady cheered him up a Jot. -You certainly remind me of the umpire who was here before. He was such a nice lltte fellow, she said.

A few days ago, while Manager Mack end his bunch were sojourning in New Orleans, Dutch was farmed out to the Beaumont club of the Texas league, nnd left for the city in the Lone Star state, where he is said to hare made a fine showing against the Beaumont players in exhibition The wildness of Bremmerhorff, which was the worst fault to be found with his work in the Appalachian, is said to have been the reason for his release to the Texas league club.

Breminerhoff was the only spitbull. pitcher Manager Macks second string, but the Teutons inability to locate the plate proved his undoing. However, Manager Mack still has a string on Bretnmerhoff, and the wily manager expressed the opinion that after a little more experience in the minors, Bremmerhoff would be ready for another try-out in the big show. In several of the gtmes In the Appalachian league last year, Bremmerhoff gave as many as six or eight bases on Sails and sometimes even morei As a rule, very few hits were mads off the husky Dutchman, for the batters were so afraid of being baned" by the wild curves that they kept far away from the plate, and so were unable to bit very successfully. 0 At Baltimore Philadelphia Nationals.

Since Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian athlete, is to be a member of the squad that Manager "Muggsy McGraw, of the New York Giants, will bring to Knoxville for a game with Maryville college Tuesday afternoon, the following dissertation by a well known sport writer, may be of interest to local fans: Manager McGraw of the New York Giants admits that as a ball player hla Indian Thorpe Is a failure; In fact the rawest recruit ever seen. But he declares be means to -keep him on the team for awhile at least, as aa advertisement If it is the opinion of the leader of the National leagues most powerful club that baseball needs such hippodroraing to draw crowds, then we would like to offer a 'suggestion that seems to us to have the merit of giving everybody in the game a share of the benefit. It is this: Since Thorpe cannot play ball, Mr.

McGraw cannot hope that he will be a great attraction in the National league after one round of the circuit; fans will I not pay to see him the second time. hy not then, when he has served bis I purpose in the National league, pass him on to the American, thence in turn to each class AA league, next to tho single A and on down through the entire classification? By quick shifts the Indian's drawing powers should late in the season be available to pull some struggling class organization out of the financial bole and it might even be that by that time and in such company he would become of real use to his dub on the diamond, as well as at the gate, granting that he has some playing ability.
