THE AMERICA'S CUP
SJFVVr H*S OHAivCB As matters stand now Mr. Thoina. oopwith stands a good chance—a better Unui-even chance—to lift the America .- Cup next year- for the Royal Yacht oquadron with his fine new cutter Endeavour 11. The advantage is his in naving! an excellent boat, perhaps the fastest craft of her class ever built; ii; having had a. season's racing with her, sc that she is well tuned up; and in having had a date named for the first race, which is the challenger's privilege, so early in the J 937 season that it will bo it close squeak to design, build arid condition a- defender in time for (he starting gun. It would he unsafe to assume that the chosen designers of the 1937 defender. W. Starling Burgess and Olin Stephens, will be able out as fine a hull as that of Endeavour 11, or that the expedient of "using Rainbow's rig in hci will have the desired effect of jjreatly reducing the time re'qu'ired for tuning uj. the new boat. —Providence Journal.
