Duplicates Daring Feat of
Captain Webb.

London, Sept. Mrs. Katherine
Yorkshireman, today successfully swami
the English channel from Dover TO Cape
Grisnez. The swimmer LANDED at Cape
Griznez at 1890 this morning, almost
exactly "a hours after leaving Dover.
Burgess has been trying for years TO
emulate the feat Of Captain Webb in
1875 and several times he got within a
mile of the goal, only TO be swept away
by the receding tide.
On this occasion, which Burgess de-
clared would be his list attempt, he
started from South Foreland at 1850
o'clock yesterday morning A strong
tide was flowing and the swimmer had
q tough task to get past Goodwin
sands Four hours after his departure
the swimmer was only six miles on his
way.
This was the last heard Of him until
the news of his success in reaching the
French shore reached here, and con
siderable anxiety was being felt as TO
his fate. A heavy fog enveloped the
channel last night, and the crossing
steamers failed to sight the swimmer.
Burgess success in swimming the
channel followed nine similar attempts
to negotiate the narrow span OF water
between the French and English
coasts. Numerous attempts have been
made to swim the channel since 1875.

feat.
The channel between Dover and Cape
GrisneZ is only 20 miles wide, but the
tide through the straits is very strong,

BRENTON SAYS BIG
MATCH WAS A JOKE
Declares Gotch Can Beat Any
Wrestler in World in 10
Minutes. &

Chicago, Sept. 6.--The big mat battle
Is over n Frank Gotch is still worlds
heavyweight champion.
The match itself was q Toxic. as
Hack" was slow and displayed a yell
low streak a foot wide.
1t was almost as big sc,.e as the
Jeffr~ies-Johnson fight and most OF the
large crowd felt as though they were
stung. Gotch did all that was ex-
pected of him and more. but Hacken-
schmidt failed to show anything.
He was only behind Gotch once and
didn't stay there. over I5 seconds.
Gotch won the first fall In a little less
h Is minutes with a common crotch
hold, and in the second bout Hack
wanted to quit after six minutes OF
light work, but just to show that he
could, Gotch forced his shoulders to
the mat by his famous toe hold. The
preliminaries were better han the big
match, and they were nothing extra.
Frank Gotch Is not only the fastest
heavy wrestler in the world, but is
also the strongest and I believe can
defeat any OF them inside OF liz min
utes.
In my opinion, Hack has either
gone back" or never was as good as
a great many seemed TO think.
