GHANNEL STARS [SSUE CHALLENGES Ederle, Corson and Vierkogtten —Now Miss Barrett . New York, Aug. 31 (P—Swimmers of the English channel today were maneuvering for further honors and emoluments. Gertrude Ederle, first woman con- queror of the turbulent waters, has| cabled Ernest Vierkoetten, German baker, who beat her time record yesterday, congratulating him and challenging him to a race across the same course next year to “bring the record back to her sex and country.” Vierkoetten lowered Miss Ederle’s record of 14 hours and 13 minutes to 12 hours and 43 minutes. He is in Calals, where he r#turned after landing near Dover. Mrs. Clemington Corson, better known by her maiden name of Mile. Gade, is still in Dover and has chal- lenged Miss Ederle and Vierkoetten to a three-cornered channel race for 2 $50,000 purse. She believes she can best either of them under the same weather conditions, although her time, as second woman conqueror of the channel, was 15 hours and 32 minutes. Miss Clarabzlle Barrett, sailing for home today from Cherbourg on the Leviathan, plans to challenge Miss Ederle and Mre. Corson to a distance swim upon her arrival in York. Miss Barrett had to sur- render to the channel after swim- ming 42 miles in heavy tides for 22 hours. ‘While challenges fly, acceptances have not been so much in evidence. Dudley Field Malone, acting for Mis: Ederle, declined a challenge by Mrs. Corson for a 42 mile race around Manhattan Island. “As soon as any woman breaks Miss Ederle's record.” he said, “it will then be time enough | A A T to discuss a match to decide who is| bleeding feet to the shore, where READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS |bright for me, sir!"—Ulk, Berlin.
