GIRL
SW|MS Twelve MILES
Woman of Eighty-Nine Takes
Dip in Water Every Day at
Old Orchard Beach.

BOSTON, August S.-A f1fteen-year-
old Dorchester girl, Rose Pitnoff, yes
terday succeeded in swimming from
Charleston bridge to Boston light, q
feat attempted many times by most of
the best distance swimmers Of the east.
but heretofore accomplished by only
one person, Alois Anderle Of New York.
Seven rugged men competed against
Miss Pitnoff yesterday, but the cold and
the battling tides and currents that
have made this twelve-mile course one
Of the severest attempted by swimmers
In this country forced them out Of the
water some distance from the goal.
The girl was in the water six hours
and fifty and one-half minutes. as
against the five hours and thirty-eight
minutes of Anderle, who swan August
20 last year. The average temperature
Of the water was fty-three degrees. and
there was a cold wind from the west that
made warm wraps necessary for the
five official witnesses who accompanied
the contestants in g. boat.
Oldest Summer Girl"
OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Me-, Angus.
S.-The oldest summer girl in the
world has at last been discovered. and,
unlike many other elderly summer
girls" she is not at all averse to hav-
ing her age known, for she is Mrs. Pat
rick II. Burns, who at .eighty-nine
years astonishes the bathers by taking
a swim every morning, and 1t Is real
swim instead Of dip.
They ask me-" says Mrs. Burns
chow it is that 1 can stand the water
at my age. Why. I'll be ninety years
old next summer. but look forward to
coming down here and taking my reg
ular swim. every day for Ave or six
weeks next season. I never have told
all these inquisitive people the reason
hut II / did I'd say that it's because
I'VE always been fond Of plain, whole
some food, instead of the daintfes that
so many summer visitors expect and
get at seashore resorts"
Will Swim Ten Miles.
ST. LOUIS. August s.-Mrs. Lena
Brandenburger of this city talked
laughingly yesterday Of the demon
stration Of the art Of swimming, which
she proposes making in the latter part
Of August as q proof that q woman Is
not debarred by sex from eQualing the
endurance Of mere man in the water.
and as q further object lesson that at
sixty years one may be still young and
athletic and active and participate In
the more strenuous Joys Of life.
Mrs. Brandenburger proposes to take
to the water somewhere near Eads
bridge on the Illinois side and to swim
down and across the Mississippi to a
landing at the Altenheim on the Mis-
souri, shore in South st. Louis, q dis
lance Of ten miles.

FIGHT FOR RACING
Appeal to Courts to Reopen
Belmont Park Track.
BELMONT Is INVOLVED
Minority Stockholders Sue Majority
to Protect Their Finan.
cial Interests.
BELMONT IS INVOLVED

Special Dispatch to The: Star.
SARATOGA, N. Y, August S-The de-
clslon or the racing authorities to close
the gates On the race courses Of the met
ropoiitan district has stirred up a regular
hornets nest Of trouble The directors
OF the Belmont Park track are forcing a
fight, and all because the majority stock
holders have annulled the fall race meet
ing without asking the consent Of the
minority stockholders for permission to
do so.
The minority stockholders have brought
suit to compel the owners Of the majority
OF the stock in the Westchester Racing
Association, the official name Of the Bel
mont Park track organization, to reopen
and to announce fall meeting. These
minority shareholders claim that the &C.
ton of the majority has deprived them
Of the means by which interest on their
stock can be earned and paid and that
said shares in the racing association have
been made worthless by this drastic &C.
ton of the directors.
They will ask the courts to relieve the
situation by forcing the majority share
holders of the track to reopen the gates,
thus giving them an opportunity to earn
dividends for their stock
The men behind this action are George
Wheelock, Edward Burke, Charles Henry
and various other members of a turf as
ISOLATION which, years ago, when the Bel
mont Park track was In course OF con-
struction, purchased $4,000 worth OF
stock in the Westminster Racing Associa-
ton. When these shares were bought
the investors thought that the ownership
of the stock gave them a. lien or claim
on the property-the land, buildings and
so forth. But. much to their surprise.
these shareholders were recently told
that the stock purchased merely repre-
scented value in the receipts derived from
the racing, and that the shares represent
ed liens on the grandstand, field stand and
stables-property which was valuable for
racing purposes, but Of little or no worth
with racing meetings abandoned.
The real title to the land, which Is ex-
tremely valuable, was taken over in the
name of August Belmont and many OF
his friends.
With only ornamental grandstands and
stables as assets for the money value
Of the stock, some Of these minority
stockholders are ready to fight for the
preservation Of their shares. They claim
that without racing there is not the
slightest chance to earn dollar for their
stock and that it will be worthless. Hence
the appeal to the courts to compel the
directors and majority stockholders. men
who hold title to the land, to open the
gates of the track for race meetings.

OFFICIAL SHOOTS MAYOR.
Councillor Fires ct Victim in Pres

Foreign Cofrespondmce Of Tho Star.
PARIS. July "a, 1910.
There IL great excitement in q prov
vincial district owing to a murderous
attack on a mayor by one of the munic-
ipal councillors. Tho drama was enacted
when the mayor was about to inspect
the local fire brigade in the presence Of
an admiring crowd. The whole place
was gay with bunting in honor OF the
fete, and all the Inhabitants were In
their holiday attire. The review was
to be the great event of the day, and
when the mayor approached the spot
where the ponpiers were drawn up loud
applause resounded.
Suddenly. however. all this rejoicing was
turned into CONSERVATION. A municipal
councillor walked to the mayor. and,
without uttering word, fired point blank
at him with a revolver. The unfortunate
mayor fell prone on to the ground with
q bullet In his body, while women
shrieked and men rushed forward to as
sist him. He is so severely wounded
that very delicate operation must be
performed to save his life. AS for the
councillor, he was at once
arrested and conveyed to the chief town
OF the district, where. when he was ex-
amined by the judicial authorities, he is
alleged to have calmly declare that he
did not feel the slightest remorse for
what he had done.

has settled on an excellent type of this
class of vessel. and is building large

German naval experts are convinced
that in the narrow waters Of the North
sea submarines would play great and
perhaps decisive part IN any naval battle
fought there, and that German submarines
even could be used for attacks on British
battleships lying in British ports, owing
to the short distance from Wilhelmshaven

didate for the middleweight title, will
meet at the National Sporting CLUB.
The Observation-Disclosures and ketcheil-
Lang bouts will be in the nature OF try
outs for the men in the field to challenge
Jack Johnson.
Lang, the Australian heavyweight
champion, is much better pugilist than
some records show. Lang's victory over
Fitzsimmons was not a great achieve
ment, but the twenty-round battle with
Tommy Burns stamps him as high
class boxer. Lang earned decision, but
the majority Of the people at the ringside
thought the bout was good draw.
Lang has copied the American style
and is as clever as any of our big men
and a hard puncher. Ketchell knows
this and that is why he is training hard.
He has had people at Stratford, Conn.,,
his only chance is to rough it with the
big Australian. He admits Lang is the
better boxer.
