WOME ca: PAGE-TWO IN ATTEMPT T0 SWIM CHANNEL Only Twice Has Difficult Swim Been Accomplished New York, Sept. 15.—The failure of Henry Sullivan, of Lowell, Mass., to} swim the English channel on his} fourth attempt, recalls the efforts of} swimmers from all corners of the; world to accomplish the feat. i Only twice in history has the rest-| less stretch of water given way to the efforts of aquatic stars, In 18754 Captain™*Matthew Webb, an English- man, crossed from Dover to Calais in 21 hours, 35 minutes. He was; favored by a light wind and a com-| paratively calm sea, actually swim-| damg avout 32 miles. | ‘The distance across the channel at! the . narrowest point, Dover to.Capei Gris Nez, a French headland in tne! Pas de Calais, is about 20 miles but; swimmers are compelled to zig-zag | in combatting the waves and tides. | The second successful attempt to! cross the channel was made on. Sept. | 6, 1911, by William T. Burgess, an| Englishman by birth, but a naturali-| zed Frenchman. Fifteen times pre-j viously he had attempted to make the perilous swim. On the sixteenth he} swam from South Foreland, Dover, to Le Chatelet, a little village two miles east of Cape Gris Nez, in 22 hours, 35 minutes. He covered about 60 miles. Burgess’ more wonderful than that of Captain ‘Webb, in that he met with the most adverse conditions. In mid-channel he was stung severely by jelly-fish and because ill and was ready to abandon the swim. When but a short distance off the French coast he met the ebbing tides and battled for three hours -before reaching slack water. Two other men said to have ac- complished the fact could not prove their claims. Captain Davis Dalton, of New York, declared he swam the channel. in August, 1890, covering 60 miles in 23 hours, 30 minutes. He claimed to have swam the entire dis- tance on his back, and to have been so blinded by salt water that his sight was impaired for months afterward. Sam Mahoney, of Revere Beach, Mass., asserted that he swam from Sangatee, France to South Foreland, in Septmeber, 1908 but this was not roved. eeabed Wolffe, the veteran English swimmer has made 21 unsuccessful attempts to cross and another.

In 1903 he ar- rived within a mile of Dover after swimming 22 hours,/21 minutes, giv- ing up because of exhaustion. ‘Annette Kellerman, a native born ‘Australian, called the world’s great-; est woman swimmer, made several attempts without successs. She now is a citizen of the United States. Rose Pitonof, of Boston, went to} England in 1912 with the avowed pur-; pose of conquering the channel waves but never found conditions favorable and returned to America. Many others of lesser note have} tried and failed. Sullivan has de-; clared he will make anata a bell mber. Omer errault, Genada and Tiraboschi, the Italian swimmer, are training for the event. Fifth Avenue, N. Y., Want No Signs arene ‘New York, Sept. 15.—Broadway can have its electric signs famous the world around, but Fifth Avenue will have none of them. According to merchants along this famous thoroughfare it isn’t dignified for kittens to play with skeins of silk atop skyscrapers in the fashionable shopping district, even if kittens and, silk be only of electric lamps. Not only do the merchants object to signs in motion but also to signs at rest.| ‘AN must go they assert, if the avenue, turning from home life to business, is to retain its dignity. So the Fifth Avenue‘ Association is preparing to ask the legislative charter revision committee to make changes which will permit the city authorities to banish signs on the fhistoric avenue. : ee One of the Mysteries.
