11-YEAR-OLD GIRLS IN
RACE FOR PIEDMONT
SWIMMING HONORS

Two little eleven-year- girls, Jen-
ME Perkerson and Virginia Merker, the
wonders of Piedmont lake, will race
each other this afternoon in quarter
mile swim for the Juvenile champion
ship.
Jennie won all honors in the women's
contests on July and was acclaimed
as the marvel Of the lake in all sorts of
swimming and diving feats, but that
was before Virginia came out for the
season About two weeks ago Virginia
arrived at the lake when the other girl
was not present and Virginia showed
the life savers and spectators that she
could swim a little bit herself Just as
Virginia finished a mile swim, Jennie
arrived for her daily plunge. Some one
told Jennie what the other child had
done and Jennie wanted to race her
right then, but Virginia was too tired
and asked to race another day
Then the unaccustomed sun got in
its work and for over a week Virginia s
face looked like a parboiled beet. She
has now recovered and wears coat of
tan almost as deep as her rivals. Dur
ing that time each has told what she
can do and the rivalry is as keen as
razor edge
The race will start promptly at 4:30
o'clock and all other swimmers will be
called out of the lake so that spectators
on the banks may get a good view.

OYSTER BAY, June 2S.-The 1nan-
cial backing of Colonel Roosevelt's
third party was taken up at a con-
ference at Sycamore Hill last night
with George w. Perkins. The ex-
President got the assurance that
funds will not be lacking to push his
candidacy. Perkins was the chief
contributor to the colonel's primary
campaign, which cost more than
5000, 000. The ex-President was in
formed that If he needs twice that
much to further his independent boom
it will be provided.
Roosevelt will confer today with
Pennsylvania leaders who will talk
finances.
Ex-senator. Finn, n of the stall
warts of his primary campaign,
brought heavy financial support to
the colonel's pre-convention campaign
and advices at Sycamore Hill are
that he will keep up the work.
Speaking of the situation in New
York State the colonel remarked that
there would be two Republican tick
cts in the field, n representing the
reactionaries, the other the progress
sives.
