THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2T, 1921 13 AMERICAN TO TRY SWIMMING CHANNEL Trip From Britain to France to Be Attempted. FEAT DONE BY TWO MEN Captain AVebb and William Burgess Hold Record to Be Sought by ' Henry Sullivan. BY NORMAJf ROSS. "World's Champion Swimmer. Announcement comes from the east that another attempt will be made this summer by an American swim mer to conquer the stretch of water between England and France. Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., Is the man who thinks he has the channel's number, despite the fact that on three, former occasions he has attempted and failed to make the swim. The task is a monumental one fori even the best swimmers, and no really good swimmer has ever tried it, which seems to bear out the contention sometimes made that a person who will do such stunts should keep clear of all squirrels. For many years this strip of treacherous water, criss-crossed with tides and currents, and nearly al ways rough, has been the goal of aspiring long-distance men. This feat has only been accomplished twice, by Captain Webb in 1S75, who made the swim in 21 hours and 45 minutes, and by William Burgess in 1911, who landed on French soil after an im mersion of 22 hours and 35 minutes. Both made many attempts before they finally succeeded. That Captain Webb was crazy was demonstrated later when he lost his life in the whirlpool iraplds trying to swim up Niagara falls, very likely. ' The average person thinks of the channel as a stretch of water 22 miles wide, and lets it go at that. To the swimmer, however, it presents an en tirely different aspect. There is a very strong tide sweeping through. and before the swimmer, who is usual ly a slow one at best, gets very far he is being swept many miles out of his course. This really does not act to defeat him. as is often claimed by followers of this kind of sport, for he is not fighting the tide but is swimming across it. His course mapped out and measured will show that he has gone 40 or 50 miles, but he is not actually swimming this, as the tide is doing the same with him as it would -with an empty box. The real difficulty is experienced from the chop of the waves and the saltiness of the water, which stings the eyes and soon makes the swim mer temporarily blind, unless come sort of goggles are worn. Then, again, the cold water eats right into a person, and the channel aspirant must have a great layer of fat on. Sullivan will swim breast-stroke as. according to him, this keeps Uim high in the water and he can see where he is going. A lot of good that does, for he is going wherever the tide chooses to take him. - During these long Immersions the swimmer takes food at regular inter vals, usually eggs and hot drink, al though Sullivan takes cooked meat. A few chickens and a steak or two are his portion. These are cut up and dropped in his mouth somewhat after the system a mother bird uses with her young. If Sullivan is fortunate enough to p!ck the right day when the water is quiet and the tides are going the same way he Is. an American may have his name with the immortals, or wherever they put those people who do such things as stay in the water for 24 hours &t a stretch. Someone remarked to me the other day after reading what I had to say about a long-distance swim, that any one who tried to swim so far must be fodder for squirrels. I must agree with him that such distance feats as we read about are silly, if true, but most of it is the Bunker hill. For instance, Harry Klionsky of New York is on the war path once more. Claiming a world's record of 65 miles for long-distance swimming. he announces through his press scent that He will undertake to cover 100 miles continuously in July or Au gust. And one might pass the ridicu lous notice with a smile were it not that so many people are likely to take the statement at face value and discount, accordingly, the real meri torious feats of endurance performed by other 6wimmers. Elionsky does not even rate as a good swimmer. He runs up mileage by seeking a place where the tide runs a mill race, then letting the ewift current carry him back and forth over the course as it alternates between ebb and flood flow. Any floating object cast in the water be side him would cover approximately the same distance In the same time. But it may be questioned whether Klionsky could swim even 10 miles in still water and, moreover, there is no authentic proof that he ever so much as floated the 65 miles he claims. Harold Stubby Kruger and Ludy Langer, noted swimmers from the Hawaiian islands, made their first appearance at Madison Square Gar dens last week and showed up well. Ijnsrer won a 2-0 handicap from scratch in the time of 2:32, despite the fact that he was collided with and sunk on a couple of occasions. Wild Bill Harris, member of the Olvmolc team and holder of a victory over the peerless Duke would like to settle In the States, and may come to Chicago. Should he do so. local athletes will have their hands full, for Wild Bill lives up to his name. and often has to be pulled from the iiir at the end of a race, as he swims himself completely out- Last year at the Olympic tryouts at Lincoln park. I had to swim my hmt to beat him. then had to tow him to the float, as he had passed out from his effort. WOMAX FANCY D1VEK ILERK Miss Freda Hulon of Seattle Is Pay ing Portland Visit. Miss Freda Hulen of the Crystal Pool Swimming club of Seattle, and holder of the Pacific Northwest Ama teur association women's fancy diving title which she won in competition in Seattle last month, is paying Portland a visit this week. Keen interest is being shown in aquatic sports in the Puget sound city, according to the northwest champion, who is here for a week's visit with friends and to re new acquaintances with members of the local swim colony. Miss Hulen has been diving in ac tual competition for two years and her recent success in which she won the northwest title was the first step toward the national crown. The Seat tle mermaid each year makes an an-1 nual pilgrimage to Portland for a I week's vacation, her last visit being in September, 1920. Those who saw her perform when she was last here and who had the opportunity to wit ness her yesterday working from the ten-foot board at the Broadway natatorium declared there has been a world of improvement in her diving. The northwest title holder has had little opportunity for competent in structions in diving and has picked up most of her pointers from Guy Thomas, Seattle diver, and Georger Douglas, swimming and diving in structor at the Broadway nat. Miss Hulen is now working on a two and one-half back dive, considered the hardest dive in the list and one very seldom attempted by men divers. The Seattle miss, according to local diving experts, is the only girl diver ever to attempt the difficult feat. Miss Hulen executes with remark able skill, grace and ease the one and one-half back dive, one and one-half cut off, full twist, and several of the difficult running and standing gainor dives. The Seattle diVer is also a golfer of no mean ability, and will soon be ready to enter some of the tourna ments slated for the northwest next season. "1 would? rather win just one cup in golf competition than half a dozen diving meets," ' declared Miss Hulen yesterday. Local swim fans will probably have an opportunity to witness the north west champion in action this Saturday at the Oaks park, where the Oregon state outdoor swimming and diving championships will be decided. She motored to Portland from Seattle and returns home either next Sunday or Monday. Dave Fall, member of Jack Cody's diving team of the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic club, returned home Monday after a visit through eastern and California cities. With the ex ception of Chicago there is not much interest being displayed for aquatic sports throughout the east, but Cali fornia people are going in strong for swimming, according to Fall. BLAIRi ANDERSON TIE TRAP-SHOOT HOXORS ARK DI VIDED AT MEET. O. X. Ford Handicap Is Feature Attraction While String of 5 0 Targets Also Thrown. Abner Blair, Oregon state trap shooting champion, and P. B. Ander son of Vancouver, B. C-. shared the honors in' the shoot Sunday at the Portland Gun club. The O. X. Ford handicap was the feature attraction of the day, while a string of 50 tar gets was also thrown. In the Ford handicap Blair. Ander son and A. A. Hoover tied for first honors, each scoring 50 straight with their handicaps. In the shoot-off An derson won with 25 straight to 24 apiece for Blair and Hoover. Next Sunday will be a big day at the Portland Gun club with a 100 registered target event at 16 yards, a 25-target handicap, a miss and out contest and a match at 12 pairs dou bles forming the programme for the gunners. A trophy has been put up for the winner of each event. O. X. Ford, manager of the Port land Gun club. Is daily receiving let ters from all parts of the northwest regarding the big Rose City hundred tournament, which is to be held here on September 3. 4 and 5. The main feature of this shoot and one which is attracting the greatest number of scatter-gun artists is the dividing cf the contestants into two classes. Those with a 92 per cent and above will be in class A and all below 92 per cent in class B. This affords everyone an equal chance at tne money. Following are the scores made Sunday: . Ford handicap. 50 targets Abner Blair, 50; P. B. Anderson. 50; A. A. Hoover, 00; O. X. Ford. 49; J. C. Mathis. 4S; a. hi. Kibbe. 48; J. S. Crane, 47; Dr. A. P. In gram. The Dalles, iti; L. D.

RUIN HALTS HORSE MICE SIX HEATS OF GRAND CIRCUIT MEET COMPLETED. Favorites Boom Along to Victory in Each Instance Where Races Are Run. COLUMBUS, O.. July 26. Rain which threatened to stop Grand Circuit rac ing Monday came today- after six heats of the day's programme had been raced and ended further activ ity. Two heats of three events, the 2:lt class pace, the S. & S. $5000 stake for 2:11 trotters and the Llks Home $3000 stake for 2:05 pacers were raced before the rain. Favorites boomed along to victory in each instance and captured two heats each, cinching first money for them, although another heat will be r.ecessary to complete the events. Kokomo George, well-played favor ite in the 2:11 pace, won the heats contested with ease, lowering his own record to 2:03H in the first heat. Jeannette Rankin, daughter of San Francisco, became a 2:05 performer in the second heat of the S. & S. event when she trotted a mile in 2:04U. also a new record for her. In the Elks' Home pace Roy Grat ton outclassed the field and won the two heats raced without apparent effort. " Hoppe to Play, Tor All Stakes. NEW YORK, July 26. Willie Hoppe. through his manager, R. B. Benjamin, has declared that in future he will play all of his championship billiard matches on a winner-take-all basis, and added that he was willing to play any man in the world under these conditions. "Billiardists of ability who are sincere in their ef forts to capture the championship will not object to these conditions," said Benjamin. If Hoppe decides to enforce this decision literally and will not make any exceptions to it, it means that he will not compete in the annual balkline championship tournament next season. In that event the purse is always divided three ways, the winner, second and third men sharing in the spoils. It is doubtful whether the other play ers would be willing to enter the tournament on a winner-take-all basis. It is probable that they would insist upon second and third prizes being awarded, and if Hoppe would be unwilling to accede to these de rmoids either tho tournament would have to be abandoned or it would have to be conducted without the champion defending his crown. Pitcher Tyler Released. CHICAGO, July 26. George Tyler, southpaw pitcher of the Chicago Nationals and. Oscar Dugey, coach, tonight received their unconditional releases. MEN FEAR CUT VALUATION Question at Hearing Is Stren uously Fought. BABC0CK QUIZ CLOSED Company Counsel Surprises Every one by Failing to Touch on Many Vital Issues. (Continued From First Page.) cross-examining the witness on this point. He first obtained admission from Mr. Willard that because of economic conditions during the war, the company restricted Its replace ments and additions to the plant In Oregon. Xext he secured an agree ment with the witness, that because of such restrictions, the work of car rying out essential additions and re placements would be abnormal during the next few years. With this agreement, he urged the witness to reconcile the testimony that the depreciation reserve should be curtailed and the fact that the company .would, be required to go through a period of abnormal re placements. Curtailment ! I'rged. Mr. Willard took the position that the depreciation fund was now a super-surplus reserve, and its income should be curtailed until such time as it returned to normal when provision could then be made for its replenish ment. Attorney Shaw held-that if the in come to the reserve fund were cur tailed, it would naturally follow that reconstruction work must also be cur tailed and that the testimony of the witness was conflicting. 'During the rest of the cross-examination. Attorney Shaw attempted to show that the city's witness had no practical knowledge of telephonic engineering and while the witness ad mitted that this was true to some ex tent, he said that he was qualified through his experience with other public utilities. As one method for decreasing tele phone rates in Oregon, Mr. Willard advocated a 10 per cent decrease in wages of employes of the company, saying that such a decrease would save the rate payers of the state $300,000 a year. Evidence Is Produced. He produced evidence in exhibits to show that wages were on the down ward trend and held that a 10 per cent decrease would not cause any hard ships to those affected by it. In giving a comparison of telephone rates, the witness produced data to show that of 21 cities included in the tabulation, with the exception of two cities. Portland has higher rates for residential two-party service than any of the .other cities. With but three exceptions, this chart shows Portland t be higher than other cities in rates for main line residential telephone service. Portland has higher main line busi ness rates than has any of the other cities, included in the chart with the exception of Atlanta, Ga., while Port land also pays higher rates. .for two party business service than any of the other cities,, with the exception of Atlanta. Attorney Shaw surprised everyone by concluding his cross-examination of Major Babcock, the city's expert witness, shortly before noon today, when it was generally expected that he would not be relieved until late today or possibly tomorrow. By the early conclusion of the cross - examination Attorney Shaw failed to analya much of the impor tant testimony given by Major Bab cock. As matters stood at the close the major portion of the testimony given by the city's expert remained uncontrovertable. It was considered possible that the company would attemDt to break down these lines of testimony through j direct testimony, thus removing from the stand a dangerous foe before he has opportunity further to damage the case of the company. Testimony Rot Shaken. The trend of Major Babcock's tes timony, which was not materially shaken during the course of the cross-examination, was to the effect that the inter-relation of the Amer ican Telephone & Telegraph com pany and the local company, together with its control over the officials of the Pacific company is detrimental to the telephone users of Oregon. His testimony -also purported to show that the use of obsolete equip ment in Oregon is proving a costly procedure for the telephone subscrib ers. In addition, he testified that the American Telephone & Telegraph company has failed to utilize many patents controlled by the company which would provide more efflcienl and less costly service. Question Mainly Technical, Failure to develop party line service in Portland, especially, Major Babcock contended, has removed the telephone from use by many persons in mod-, erate circumstances. Attorney Shaw during his cross examination today devoted his ques tions mainly to technical subjects, in cluding various patents owned by the parent company, as well as those owned and used by independent tele phone concerns. J. P. Newell, consulting engineer for the public service commission, Who has just returned from Canada, where 'he has been engaged in pro fessional work for more than a year, questioned Major Babcock on points in his testimony which had been given prior to Mr. Newell's appear ance" with, the commission. Tomlinson's Questions Few. In rebuttal. Attorney Tomllnson simply asked a few questions with a view to clarifying some of the points that had been controverted by Attorney Shaw on the preceding day. Just when the hearing began today Attorney Tomlinson cast a bombshell into the proceedings by appealing to the commission to force the removal of "spies'' from the midst of the city's witnesses and experts. " "Although we have seen the wit nesses and experts of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company and the American Telephone & Telegraph company with their backs to the wall since this hearing began," Mr. Tom llnson said, "for the last two days there has been a representative of the company sitting immediately to the rear of our witnesses, even though the remainder of the company's staff is on the other side of the room. We have been forced to lower our voices in order that this young man would not overhear our plans or observa tions. Snlea In Camp Denied. ' "Now. we have no spies in their camp and we are trying to conduct E ourselves in the open. I believe that the commission should Insist that we be spared from the intrusion of eavesdroppers." Attorney Shaw of the company Im mediately denied that any of the company representatives were en gaged in spy work, holding ihatihe person referred to had, so far as he knew, taken a position on the city's side of the 'house in order that he might hear the evidence given more clearly. "But to remove any possible objec tions in the future and to make Mr. Tomllnson perfectly happy I will in sist that our witnesses remain on our side of the fence. Now. then. Mr. Tomlinson, are you at ease?" Perfectly," replied the 'City's at torney. "Your action avoids the ap pearance of evil." FORESTRY MEETING NEAR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE COM MITTEE TO BE HERE.
