tho Tigers aro only ono-halt n game

AMERICAN-MADE RACING SHELLS
EQUAL OF ENGLISH, SAYS EXPERT
Harry Lnucr, for SJ successive ears
steward nt tho Philadelphia Barge Club,
is ot tho opinion that American racing
shell buildern have advanced to such a
degree that thoy outdistance their great
est rivals, tho Ungllsli mokeis.
"I well remember," lemnrked Mr.
Laucr, "when a boat club was consldoied
blessed If it could get a foreign boat.
Thero wos such a liking for the work
of tho Britons that the Yankee hardly x
Isted. It Is different nowadajs, and tho
builders of Now York havo brought the
American product up to Its ilnest develop
ment. "Theio is a young man now building
boats In New York who. is sure to bo
heard from In tho next few ears. Ho
Is a gruduato of tho Ward factory, and is
turning out lacing shells that excel oven
those of tho big tirm. I hopo to see tho
day when only American-built boats will
bo on tho racks at tho various clubs. And
I bellevo this day is not far distant."
Steward Laucr Is an expert on things
nautical, having served two terms In tho
American Navy. Ills study of the. ad
vancement In tho warship sounds like a
story from tho fairy book.
"About 20 years ago a sailor abonrd 1
United States warship had to be an expert
In many more branches than today. Ho
was required to know nil the ropes, sails
nnd stays. Today the Jackie goes in for
mechanics. He Is cither an engineer,
electrician.' pipe fitter or gunner, while in
my day he had to be un expert ropemnn
as well. Then we had smooth boro guns
of comparatively low power. Six pounders,
etc. Today guns carry 20 miles and more
Oh! yes, theso aro great das with aero
planes, wireless and many of other w m
derful things filling land nnd sea.
Thero is a racing shell nt tho Phlladel
phle Bargo Club which bears out Steward
Lauer's contention that the Yankee prod
uct Is tho best In tha world. The shell is
tho property ot a Philadelphia banker,
and Is a' double self baler of unusual
beauty. The boat is unlike the others
with their stjle ot bulkheads.
How many oarsmen who take their
place In the shell know that tho outrig
gers havo been carefully planned so that
tho oars pass at the handle with from a
quarter to a half Inch play? Oarsmen
would he tn a sorry fix If they attempted
to row with outriggers at the tamo height.

BOW RUDDERS FOR
MAY BE
In the neai fiiluie moloibonts nnd cvtn
the big stonmihlps may bo rigged with a
bow ruddet. This Is no Idle dream. The
plan Is n practical one, and will be of
gieat value to vessels In nut row water
ways. A ship In un emergency could be
tttrntd In close quarters nnd bo as effec
tive ns the stern rudder Is now. The bow
rudder Is so built In the ship thut It can
be drawn back out of tho way when not
in use.
At various times nearly every one has
found tho matter of steeling In naiiow
waters a most difficult problem. With
the bow rudder all troubles In this lino
vanish. An experimented conducted re
cently proved the etllcacy of the scheme.
An oar placed at tho bow of a launch
under way caused tho vessel to bo steered
to port or stnrlionid at the will of the
manipulator. Tho Idea Is not n now one,
but lma never been tried out aboard big
ships.

Yacht Club, says: "It takes as much
water to raise the Dora J I as It does
a canal boat It takes less water to lower
the canal boat than it docs tho smnller
vessel."
