National Contest
TORONTO,Aug. 29. (AP)
Led by 19?jrear-old Ethel Hertle
of New York, five rirl wimmen
captured the fire money-winning
nlacea in the ten mile water race
for women at the Canadian na
"Jtional exhibition today.
Miss Hertle swim the distance
in 5 hours and 34 minutes. . In
doing so she won a duel for the
$10,000 first prixe from her. 18-year-old
rival. OllTe Gatterdam of
Seattle, Washington. Miss Gat
terdam took the second place
about 200 yards behind and. won
$3,000.00. Her time was 5:37:46.
The two leaders were nearly a
?Jle ahead of their nearest rivals,
hird place went to Roth Towet
of Denrer, with Jane Thorns of
Terre Haute, Ind., fourth and
Anna Benoit of Westfield. Mass.,
fifth. The big surprise of the
race came when Miss Benoit
sported at the finish and shut
Gertrude Ederle of New York, the
first woman to swim the English
channel, out of the money. Miss
Ederle blamed her failure to "lack
or competitive training."
"I haven't raced for two years."
she said, "and it was bound to
tell on me."
All of the first fire swimmers
re eligible to enter the men's IS
mile contest-over the same course

nor Miss . Gatterdam have decided

li'i have no plans." the winner
aid after the race. "I am satis
fled to have won the $10,000
wim Just now and in a few days
I may decide to enter further con
tests. My big idea is to have a
hearty meal."
The same idea was foremost in
the western girl's mind.
"A nice big Juicy steak looks
the best In the world to me." she
said. I haven't decided yet
whether I will enter the men's
swim. It's a pretty long grind,
you know."
The cold waters of Lake On
tario provided the greatest obsta
cle to the swimmers and several
were forced to drop out. Even
the winner was slightly hampered
by cramps.
Edith Hardy, of Toronto, the
last of the three Canadian girls
to finish, had a hard time. On the
second lap she was suffering so
severely from cramps that she
begged to be taken from the
water. Encouraged by her train
er, however, she continued and
Hnished in fifteenth place.
Only two other Canadians and
one representative of SwiUerland
broke the American monopoly of
20 places.

CHICAGO GOLF CLUB. Aug.

al war of thfi eolf links is at hand.
Tho nnnnsln? cam os were Ditched
tonight on the rain-drenched links
of the Chicago Golf club. The bat
tle will be the fifth renewal of
the Walker cup beteen Britons
and Americans.
All the British eolfine army is
fit fnr the frav and so are the
Americans, but four of them had
a narrow escape from the ele
ments in final practice today.
T.iFhtnlnz struck a wire fence
near them, put out the lights in
til club house and caued consid
erable confusion for half an hour.
Jess Sweetser. George Von Elm,
Francis Ouimet and Jimmy John
ston were on the eighth tee when
the bolt of lightning cleft the dark
skies with a crash. Fortunately
this flash had been preceded oy
others and the players had cover
ed the metal heads of their clubs
in fear of the electric discharge.
The heavy voltage nppea up tne
rnM near them and almost threw
the players to the sodden turf. A
burst of wind drove tne rain
through their clothing and they
had to fight their way to the club
house, nearly half a mile away.
There they were hustled into the
hot showers and taen into warm
clothes.
Shortly, Captain Bobby Jones
sw his eallant warriors safe and
smiling and declaring themselves
all right for the fray tomorrow,
none of the other American golf
ers were afield and the Britons
were safe in their .tents after try
ing out their heavy artillery and
short barrage somewhat earlier.
As the first competition will be
in foursomes. Captain Jones pair
ed off his golfing soldiery as they
will play, and tried out the game
so unusual to Americans, in which
two golfers play one ball, with al
ternate strokes. They did very
well. but. even Jones and Chick
Evans were not as good as they
hope to be when the real oatue
starts.

Fl
Kermit Russell will be the
choice of Manager Leo Edwards
of the Salem Senators to start
Sunday's game at Albany, the sec
ond against the Alcos in the play
off for the second half Willam
ette Valley league title.
In view of the exceptional
pitching that Johnny Beck has
done in the last two games, this
may seem surprising strategy, but
the reasons for it are sufficient.
In case there is a third game. It
will be played in Salem the fol
lowing day. Labor day, and If Al
bany should win against Beck
Sunday, the final game would be
slightly anti-climatic.
If Albany adopts the same tac
tics, which is believed likely. Rus
sell and Fortier will be the oppos
ing pitchers at Albany Sunday and
Beck will be able to resume his
strikeout battle with Coleman
here on Labor day. The game
here will be played even though
Salem should win at Albany, in
which case it will be an exhibition
affair.

TEiS SURVIVE
BROOKLINE. Mass.. Aug. 29.
(AP) Two pairs of young
American tennis players survived
the third round play in the na
tional doubles champions!)' to
day at the Longwood Cricket club
courts to stave off an all-foreign
final for the title which "Big Bill"
Tilden and Francis T. Hunter
were unable to defend.
The youthful homebreds gained
their way into the semi-finals at
the expense of two Australian
teams. George M. Lott, Jr.. and
John Hennessey, the American
Davis cup players who were top-
seeded, overcame Iiarry Hopman
and Jack Crawford in four sets,
3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, and Johnnie
Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison had
to work even harder. They elim
inated R. O .Cummings and E. F.

five set match, 5-7, 6-2, 6-8, 6-4,
6-4. ,
French Show Up Well
Though two lottiet American
teams fought valiantly, they were
beaten by better foreign teams.
The marvelous Henri Cochet and
Jacques Brugnon, members of the
French Davis cup team and dou
bles champion of England, were
forced to play four sets before
they eliminated R. N. Williams,
2nd, and Watson Washburn.
Though William3 and Wash-
bum won the only set the French
men have' lost so far in the tour
nament, they were too erratic and
unsteady to deserve the victory.
