The channel, difficult swimming water even under the most favor- able congitions on account of its low temperature, strong tides and swirling currents, has been un ually turbulent for the last few This morning a heavy sea ing and Miss Ederle decided to await a more favorable condition. Miss Ederle's attempt to swim the channel probably will be made next Saturday or next Monday, she decided today after a 2-hour swim at the Gris Nez beach with her trainer, Johnny Wolfe. The es will not be propitious for the attempt until the end of this week. il Slarrison, the Argentine swimmer, who yesterday finished fourth in the “nautical marathor from Corbeil to Paris, received an enthusiastic welcome at the Bou- logne station when she arrived from Pa T.
