GASTONIA, N. C, SATURDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 17, 1920 SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS , SHAMROCK AND RESOLUTE BEADY-TO MEET FOR YACHT Both Captains Are Confident of Victory in To day's Races Sir Thomas Lipton Will Chal lenge Again If He Fails to Win Cup. (By the. Assoc ia ted Press.) : SANDY HOOK N. J., July 17 A wind of three knots strengthened from the northeast was blowing at 8 o'clock this morning when the crews of the tAmeriea's cup sloops began preparation for the day's races. The faint breeie failed to ruffle the Jersey ground swell that was running off shore. .A slight haze lay over the sea that ahimmered in the sun which burned brightly in the clear sky. Shamrock will not carry in today 's race the Nicholson jacket designed to prevent back windage from the mainmast. The up committee informed Captain Bur ion that if the Shamrock carried the Jacket in future races she would have to be remeasured. Captain Burton and Designer Nichol on said this morning that five races was not an adequate test for the America's cup. " We have had one race, we won it in an accident," said Captain Burton to an Associated Press correspondent, "and atill I'm looking to today's race to ob tain some idea in the respective sailing loints of the two contenders. " Captain Burton admits in sailonnan fashion that in a lumpy sea with faint airs the Herreshoff sloop fotB faster than the Nicholson craft. He said that in t.h earlv staff e of Thursday's race, fihamrock bad outiootea nesoiuie wu. . . ,1 T . A 1 I was in position to have crossed her l -when she was struck by a squall and wended off. He showed two photo graphs taken from an aeroplane just after the start to show that the chal lenger was leading. Designer Nicholson said that the great reception given Shamrock as she made her appearance at the start and when she passed Ambrose light vessel a win ner, had caused him to tell Sir Thomas .that "even if you lose, you have won. " Sir Thomas is said to have told friends here that he will challenge again if Shamrock IV fails to lift the cup. "Resolute had an accident Thursday," eaid Mr. Nicholson. "We had one too, but were more fortunate . We may have one today. But under the conditions of an America's cup race, construction counts as much as sailing ability. " "I'm not the least unhappy" said Bobert W. Emmons, 2nd, managing own r of Resolute as he watehed the crew take the cloths off the mainsail. "I have seen nothing to change my opinion that we have the better boat. We will be at the line withinta short time now with no worry over the fact that the other fellow has won a race." Breaking out a jib, Shamrock dropped her mooring buoy at 9:22 and moved alowly out the Sandy Hook point. The wind was very light and she gathered little headway as she headed seaward. The Resolute was still at her moorings when the challenger rounded Sandy Hook point. Captain Burton hoisted his big club topsail while, under way. The chal lenger's sails fitted flawlessly. Not a wrinkle could be observed in the big cloth from leech to luff. There was a scattering of spectators along the Jersey beaches and headlands as the racers made ready for the start. ,. . - t j ALLIES WILL HELP GERMANY FLOAT LOANS SPA, Belgium, July-16.

(By the Associated Press.) LOS. ANGELES, Calif., July 17. Four earthquake shocks of varying in tensity formed the total of yesterday's seismic disturbances here, and although the last one. came after 6 ocWa the city had resumed practically its normal as pects before bedtime. The theatres at tracted their usual crowds, the streets were filled with pedestrians, and vehicles, and there appeared few surface indica tion of any remaining nervousness. The physical marks left by the tre mors, while many, were relatively slight. Some chimneys were shaken down ; much plaster was jarred loose; dishes and or naments were broken; a few earth slides occurred, one where it interfered with traffic, and there were other annoyances, such as shortened chimneys and twisted waterv mains, that interfered with the operation of meals in some parts of the city. The quake itself brought in its train some scores of slight hurts, due to fall ing objects jarred down- on the heads of pedestrians, to jams occurring in stores and other nublic tdacrs where customers and workers alike sought to hasten to the open air when the buildings swayed ; and to attacks of hysteria and nervousness which filled every store einerge.y hos pital and taxed the facilities of the city, first aid station. No accurate estimate of either money damage nor physical in juries will ever be made, the authorities lelieved, because scores of minor ,hurts and losses will go unreported.
