In America's Cup Bacisi
By JACK V. FOX
United Press International
Newport, R.I.-frPD-The ele
gant white sloop which will
try to beat back England's
16th attempt to take the tro
phy of world yachting su
premacy finished practice to
day on a final note of luxu
rious preparedness.
The 11-mancrew of Colum
bia, defender of the Amer
ca's cup won 107 years ago,
will wear long underwear of
cashmere if weather is chilly
when the first race is run
against Britain's Scepter Saturday.
Newport, R. I.-UPD-The men
who sail them, as much as
the trim ships themselves, will
win or lose when Britain's
Sceptre meets America's Co
lumbia for the world's sail
boating championship.
For yachting, even more
than horseracing, is far more
than a test of the pure speed
of two thoroughbreds.
It is a test of cunning and
lore and sheer nerve and, in
the 107 years since the United
States grabbed and held the
America's Cup, the mettle of
men has more often proved
vital than that of hull and
sail.
The races beginning Satur
day prove the point poignant
ly. At the helm of Columbia
will be 63-year-old Cornelius
Shields, veteran yachtsman
and investment banker from
Larchmont,' N.Y. Shields has
been' warned by his doctors
he undertakes the excitement
of the races at the risk of his
life.
Had Heart Attack
Shields suffered a heart at
tack two years ago and gave
up boating.. But he was lured
back to the Columbia, and the
moment he came aboard it
became the aggressive, win
ning ship its owners and de
signers had expected.
Now "Corney" Shields has
decided to take the wheel
against Sceptre.
That could make the differ
ence. A comparison of the
boats tells why. At 70 feet,
Sceptre is. only three inches
longer than Columbia" Their
weight and sail yardage is
about the same. Both are built
for, heavy seas.
Their encounter may hinge
on getting across the starting
line first, of jockeying into a
position where one "shadows"
the other from the wind, of
getting the last puff of motion
from the breeze.
An indication of how far
these racing men bone up
can be gathered from the fact
both sides have assembled
data on the late September
weather off Newport cover
ing the last 20 years. They
found the winds there aver
aged 17.2 miles an hour.
Have H-Man Crews
Helmsman of the Sceptre
is Lt. Cmdr. Graham Mann,
34, a sailor from the Royal
Navy and a good friend of
Britain's Prince Philip. Her
professional skipper is cagey
Stanley Bishop whose father
In Shamrock and grandfather
in Valkyrie raced in vain
for the cup.
Her navigator is Joe
Brooks, a Navy submarine of
ficer who lost both feet while
swimming as a frogman in
mining exercises three years
ago. But he is nimble. Before
the Sceptre was towed across
the Atlantic to the races
Brooks put on his frogman's
mask and dived overboard to
have a look at why seaweed
was catching on her bottom.
As on Columbia, Sceptre's
total crew is 11.
Skipper on Columbia is
Briggs Cunningham, a wealthy
sportsman whose recent ex
perience has been more with
racing motor cars and play
ing par golf but who may
take over the wheel should
Shields falter.
Must Work Fast
Navigator on the American
boat is Henry Sears, a banker
from Greenwich, Conn., who
formed the syndicate which
had Columbia built for the
race at a cost estimated to ex
ceed $300,000.
The navigator, helmsman
and skipper man the cockpit
in the stern. Forward on the
sails and winches are' the
eight working hands whose
speed in changing sail, by a
matter of seconds, can win or
lose.
Foremost among the Ameri
ca's sail handlers is Roderick
Stephens Jr., 49, considered
one of the best in the world.
It is his brother, Olin, 50,
whose naval architectural
skill is responsible for the
hull of Columbia. Working on
the foredeck are three pro
fessional sailors and some
husky undergraduates from
the Ivy League.
On the Sceptre's foredeck
are three professionals from
the naval reserve and five
young men selected out of 100
top amateur yachtsmen from
every club in Britain who
competed for the honor of
sailing for the Queen, t
One of the technical criti
cisms of the British boat is
its huge open cockpit which
could become filled with wa
ter in heavy seas. The Scep
tre, however, carries a big
manual pump to discharge
such excess water through its
hull-leading an American wit
to suggest that meant the chal
lenger was jet-propelled.
Rich Man's Sport
Americans consider their
chances best if heavy winds
are blowing off Newport dur
ing most of the "best four of
seven" races. Elimination con
tests during the summer
proved Columbia's superiority
greatest against the second
best American sloop, Vim,
when the wind rose to around
30 knots.
Certainly, this is a rich
man's sport although yachting
enthusiasts in the tens of
thousands will jam Newport
for the races.
There were three contend
ers against Columbia for the
right to represent the United
States - Vim, Easterner and
Weatherly. Vim is 19 years
old but the other two were
built specifically for the Am
erica's Cup competition and
are so made they are virtually
useless for anything but rac
ing. So, all costs figured, it can
be reckoned that something
like two-million dollars went
into choosing the boat that
will sail for the tarnished old
silver cup worth $500.
Wave Wins
Brown Jug
By HASKELL SHORT
Delaware, Ohio - (UPD -The
race for the 3-year-old pacing
championship was all mixed
up today with a bright new
contender in Shadow Wave.
The California beauty won
the coveted Little Brown Jug
in straight heats Thursday in
the excellent time of 2:01 to
stamp himself as a leading
contender for 3-year-old pac
ing honors of the year.
Bye Bye Byrd, owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Rex Larkins of
Lexington, Ky., and Chicago,
appeared headed for the 3-year-old
championship until
he ran into crafty Joe O'Brien
and Shadow Wave.
Shadow Wave, , the third
choice in the Jug betting, won
$36,541 in taking first place
honors for the S. A. Camp
Farm of Shatter, Calif. It was
the fifth fastest Jug in the 13
year history of the classic and
only a second off the Jug and
world record of 2:00 held by
Tar Heel.
Shadow Wave moved to the
rail at the start of the first
heat and was never headed.
The second heat was all
Shadow Wave's too. He start
ed on the rail and led nearly
all the way.
Kick of Drink
Too Strong for
Yankee Hurler
New York-(UPD-Ryne Duren
says thanks, but no more
champagne for him.
In his first public comment
today since his celebrated
Sunday skirmish with Coach
Ralph Houk, the Yankee re
lief ace said the entire episode
may have stemmed from his
initial experience with cham
pagne. ' .- -
. "I never had any before be
cause I never had anything
really special to celebrate,"
Duren declared. "But I sure
found out it packs a much
stronger punch than beer."
The Duren - Hauk incident
took place as the Yankees
were celebrating their pennant-clinching
on a train tak
ing them from Kansas City
to Detroit.
"It all started when I
grabbed a cigar from Ralph,"
Duren said. "He reached back
at me and his ring scratched
me. There really wasn't any
fight. 'Ralph is the last person
on the ball clUb I'd ever be
mad enough at to fight.
"He managed me at Denver
last year and I consider him
one of my best friends."

George Shaw Rebounding
From Injury, Army Duty
As Colts Prime for NFL
(This is the 9th of 12 dis
patches on the 1958 pros
pects of National Football
League teams.)
By MALCOLM ALLEN
Baltimore, Md. -(UPD The
Baltimore Colts, a club that
finished third in the Western
division last season despite a
December slump, may climb
another rung on the National
Football league ladder this
year because of added experi
ence. The team will be virtually
the same as last year's squad.
The Colts have a poor 1958
pre-season record, failing to
win in four starts before
downing the New York
Giants. They also have to find
a kicker to replace Cotton
Davidson and the linebacking
must be improved.
But head Coach Webb Ew
bank probably has fewer
problems than most NFL
coaches.
Pellington Returns
In the linebacking depart
ment, the club was weakened
last year when captain Bill
Pellington was lost, with a
broken bone in his arm. Pell
ington is back this year and
ready to lead the linebacking
corps.
Turning to the team's strong
points, the list is longer and
indicates Baltimore could
prove a stout contender.
The offensive backfield
again will boast bruising full
back Alan (The Horse)
Ameche and fleet halfback
Lenny Moore. At quarterback,
two top passers are competing
for the starting job. They are
John Unitas, who led the
league in touchdown passes
last year with 24, and George
Shaw, rebounding from knee
injuries and Army duty that
set him back after a brilliant
1955 pro debut.
In the offensive line, ac-

cording to Ewbank, there will
be few strange faces. The only
likely newcomer is Maryland
State rookie Sherman Plunk
ett. Jim Parker, 270-pound
tackle from Ohio State, is a
key man on the offensive line.
Tough Defensive Wall
The defensive backfield of
last season returns intact and
will be bolstered by Carl Tas
eff, who was forced out of
play last year by a nose in
jury. The defensive line is
headed by Art Donovan, Gino
Marchetti, Gene Lipscomb
and Don Joyce. It held rival
rushers to a league low of 3.1
yards a crack in 1957.
Ray Krouse, picked up from
the Detroit Lions, will be the
only new man on the defens
ive line. He is slated to re
place Luke Owens, now with
the Cardinals.
Coach Ewbank declined to
guess where his club will fin
ish this season but he did of
fer what could be a warning
to clubs feeling confident
after glimpsing Baltimore's
record in early exhibition
games.
"You can't tell a thing by
that record," he said. "Re
member, those scores were
chalked up while we were
using quite a few substitutes.

"We are oversubscribed and
can accept no more orders for
