THUNDERSTORM
WITH DOWNPOUR
. . ; . . .
SURPRISES CITY
An old fashioned thunder storm
descended " upon Portland Tuesday
(evening- accompanying the .11 of an
inch of rain that fell about the time
residents were sitting down to din
ner. To an Easterner tised to elec
trical drum fire bombardments. It
wasn't much of a show, but there
was enough noise and flash to re
mind Fortlahdera that nature still
has thone tricks In her bag.
Beginning soon after 7 o'clock, most
of the .11 of rain fell In an hour. The
rain was general up and down the (poast
from Tatoosh to "Kureka, Most of the
"Willamette valley and Western Wash
ington had showers which' extended east
ward along Northern Washington ' to
Spokane, that city and Wenatchee each
reporting- .42 of an Inch precipitation
Tuesday. - .
In the 48 hours ending- at 1 8 o'clock
this morning, there had been a total of
'.95 of an inch of rainfall, enough to
materially" cut, down the deficiency of
7.63 inchea on the year's average normal
rainfall..
The cherry crop ha been damaged
,py the rains and the down hay in wind
, rows is suffering. But all . the other
farmers are- happy, for late fruit and
grain are fixing to register bumper crops
as the- result of the additional moisture.
The forecast issued by the weather
bureau Is for showers-Wednesday night.

lines. And that is an out in all freak
boats almost any unusual -. happening
will put them out of the running. Con
ditions have to be made to order for
them. Like men wlfh no reserve force
when under pressure, aren't they?
The Shamrock is a freak boat, and the
Resolute is somewhat of a freak. The
., Resolute is a sweeter looking boat, but
neither is Bhe the kind that a man would
' pick to take to sea In a breeze of wind.
It was different with the cup racers of
other days. The first 'contenders sent
over by the English were seago
ing ! boats. Yawl rigged and straight
stemmed, they were, with good full quar
ters. I have seen them and been" on'
them, manned by those old English fish
ermen of the almost Elizabethan type
going to it in a half gale in the North
sea- . ,.. . ; -
AMERICA IS RECALLED V
And take our first contender, the old
America. I used .to look at her when 1
. wu a boy, and she lying-to.ln a Boston
slip. And I have listened to her sailing
master of the '80s, Bill Held, the oldest
pjlot in the American ports, when he died
a few years ago, listened to him nights
"telling about how she behaved in a gale
of wind off the Newfoundland. She
' was there every -minute of that hard
night, Bill used to say.
' - And as a bov X remember s-etrins. a
' dory with other boys and rowing around
the Puritan as she. lay at anchor in Bos
ton harbor in the late '80s, and she was
a boat that could go to sea, too, and did
.go to sea later when they changed her
o a schooner rhj and made a cruising
yacht of her. In one of her cup races
she ran through, her 40 miles , in what
days, and which has not often, been
beaten smce by yachts under any con
ditions, and never approached in any
' cup race since. "
i IDEAS ARE BORROWED
The Shamrock today embodies Ideas bor
I rowed from us, and the able little Pur
j Itan of the '80s borrowed something from
J the English cutter model. People write
i contemptuously of each other's nations
i when they are at odds; and then later
adopt the idews which formerly they re
viled. There is the tremendous sail plain
of the present day Shamrock.1 American
clipper ships and Gloucester fishing
schooners and, later. American racing
yachts were supposed to have overdone
the" enormous sail equipment . in their
quest for speed. For here is the Sham
rock with the same waterline length as
the Resolute, but .with 20 per centor
what It is exactly more sail plan. And
here she is also with something like a
former American model of hull. How
about the Shamrock with her immense
sails now? And her hull, which suzzesta
the old homely scow hull which we don't
' seem to fancy now? The hull with its
forward end turning almost suddenly to
the stem? and her. stern, which is
chopped across, like a fantall pigeon's,

Vv HAT IS SHAMROCK'S HOPE
The freak bull and - the exaggerated
sail plan Is she depending upon any
special chance to win? Has she figured
tt. out that three chances out of five off
Sandy Hook conditions in the summer
time will fit In with her peculiar con
struction? I am not a yachting- expert,
and will leave the question to men who
have made yachting a life study.
I have never, as I say, seen the Sham
rock under sail, even ; and I only eaw
the Resolute once, and then as she was
sailing. Into Marblehead harbor about
.six years ago In ; a light air. She did
move slickly through thewater. O, but
she did ! Bat all" the other yachting
sharks say that the 1 Shamrock slips
smoothly through j the water Mso.
r The Resolute - comes nearer than her
rival to being a normal model of a boat.
meaning by that that she looks as if
she embodied more of the all-round qual
ities of the good old-fashioned vessel
which could take- the sea and hold it.
And whether she sails on a perfectly
even keel or with a wet rail, she can
move along. Whether the Shamrock
can out her shoulders tinder and shove
them rapidly through the water with
out buckling up her spars in a little
breeze, is what I would like to know.
There are vessels which sail their best
standing straight up comparatively
their best, I mean and there are those
whjch never show their quality till they
get down to their; bearings. i
SHAMROCK tdOKS WEAK .
Both boats could soon be battered to
pieces in a real breeze and long before
they had reached' the 1 battered stage
their spars Would be over the side
that Is with any rag of canvas on at all ;
but of the two, J the Shamrock would
probably give In the sooner- Her" hull
to but a skeleton thing of light steel
frames and girders. Wood battens of
about the thickness of three surr coats
of paint are tacked onto these frames
to keep the ocean from flowing in. Her
deck is laid with more thin battens.
Men Who have .walked on her deck; tell
me that you have to walk on your toes
like a cat on it, or It will bounce up
and down like a ' hoop skirt ; and any
poor man who falls from more than
10 feet aloft will go through that deck
and keep going till he hits her keeL
That limbernese, by the -way. should
help the Shamrock's sailing with other
things, the force and direction of the
wind, and so forth, to her liking. Any
sail driver out of Gloucester and I
cite them because coming home from
the banks is. with them, one sail carry
ing passage after another any of them
will, tell you that a fisherman never
sails so fast as when she has been so
loosened up by continued driving. .
When they get! so they crawl under
your feet as you walk the deck In a
breeze, that's when they're going, boy I
PERSOJTKEIr WILL COU3TT
The personnel of the skippers and
nothing of the Shamrock's crew except
Ahat I have een t6ld the skipper is aft
amateur which, generally speaking, is
against him. It is an axiom that native
intelligence being the same, the man who
does a thing for a living will beat the
man who does it for recreation. But
as it happens, the Resolute's skipper is
an. amateur, too, as are the leaders of
his crew, so I hear, which evens it up.
Yachting sharks who know our fellows
say they are as good as any amateurs
anywhere ; which is good news. But
a lot of us are hoping that this Inter
national race is not going to .develop
into a nice little pleasant Harvard boat
race sort of thing. Some fine husky
eights have foregathered on the Thames,
but everybody who follows rowing knows
that hardly . a year when up at Pough
keepsie . there was one at - least vone
eigjit who could not beat the heads off
the pair or them; but those ha read
only about the - Thames race did 'not
know that. ; i
' I sort of wish' that Shamrock boat
had come over with a 'professional skip
per. Discourage the prbfessional and you
discourage a great artist, and discourage
the great artist and national standards
recede. Ever stop to think that nearly
all our best : college coaches, baseball
or football, rowing Or track, are old
professional athletes? And that If we
lead ; the world in the Olympic games
this year it probably will be because of
the Mike Murphys and the Jack Moak
leys and the Pooch Donovans who taught
at colleges, , but j were - not taught in
them. v - j
However, if the Adams boys deliver
the goods, we don't care whether- they
are amateurs or professionals. We will
look them over and tell what we saw.

LA FOLLETTE'S FRIENDS
THREATEir AJf OTHER BREAK
By George R. Holmes
Carmen's Han, Chicago, July 14. (L
K. S.) Warning that the Committee of
43 will pull away from the new third
party if labor's radical platform is
adopted by the coalition convention, was
issued here this afternoon by three
prominent leaders in the 48 movement
Amos Pinchot, George L. Record and
Gllson Gardner.
In a signed statement after the meet
ing of the : platform committee they
charged that labor was forming a "class
conscious party," to which Senator La
Fallette could not adhere.
The statement said:?
"The negotiations j between the plat
form sub-committee :of your convention
and a similar committee of the labor
party have reached a stage where we
feel that the members of both conven
tions and the public generally are en
titled to a full and frank statement of
the inside facts. - ! , . r
"The underlying cause of the differ
ences is that the labor party representa
tives think that the jnew party should be
a 'class conscious, radical party, stand
ing upon the principles of British guild
Socialism expressed in trade union lan
guage.' t I.."-.
"We believe that the new party should
have a short, definite platform, aimed at
the destruction of eebnomic privilege and
the winning back of the historic po
litical liberties lost during the war. . .
"We of feped the substance of our St.
Louis platform. j ' ;
"A form of platform drawn by friends
of Senator La Follette now here, was
also presented to the conference commit
tee, with the assurance that the sen
ator would be willing to accept our Joint
nomination on this platform. '
PLATFORM IS IGNORED . - . .
"We agreed to accept the- - platform
and the labor party representatives re
fused flatly to accept it. Senator La
Follette's friends then informed us that,
in their Judgment, the senator would not
be willing to become the candidate of
the new party. 1 ; : j
"The situation, therefore. Is this : If
the platform submitted by i Senator La
Follette s friends is , adopted - we can
probably have him as our-candidate. If
the Labor party platform la adopted the
senator will not run as our candidate.
and in our Judgment no other public
man having any considerable following
can be induced to take the nomination.
"In that event the new party will
enter the field with a Socialist platform,
headed by a radical labor leader. Such
a .campaign, in our Judgment, would be
a contest between the candidate of the
new party and Eugene Debs, tot the
negligible Socialist vote of the country.
"We are unable to join, a new party
established upon such lines.
"One hope still remains. If the Labor
party convention Will -accept' the plat
form submittexi oy senator La toilette s
friends, a genuine new party can be
brought' into being, which can have the
senator as " its candidate and unite be
hind him, and such a party will be wel
comed by the millions of American cit-
tsens who are utterly weary of the sham
battles between the I two parties, waged
only for the privilege of representing in
our - government the great financial in
terests which exploit our people with
their business monopolies. :
