(AP) After battling the Icy waters of Lake Tahoe for nearly 23 hours, Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston, endurance swimmer, reached shore shortly before 7 o'clock this morning, completing her swim across the 15-mile wide lake. For about two hours last night Mrs. Huddleston was separated from her escort of row boats and it was feared that she had gone down. She finally was located about two miles from shore, still paddling resolutely. On being located, Mrs. Huddleston said she had suffered several sinking spelts and vomiting attacks. She re fused to quit and said she would swim as long as she was conscious. Previously a wind had blown her about clfiht miles off her course. Mrs. Huddles ton's object was to win a $700 prize offered by a Tahoe organization for the first woman to swim the lake. Beirrg 6,225 feet above sea level, Lake Tahoe waters are extremely cold, even on warm days. Don't forget Adrlenne's style show,, 8:45, at Fox Crater lan, tonight. .4 Krystalglow, kodak gloss supreme.

The St. Louis hurler accom plished a feat no other American league pitcher has- done this season when he held the champions to three hits and gave them their first shut out of the year. Table Turned.
