AQUATIC MARVEL WILL QUIT
Durbarow Will Engage in Just One
T More Gruelling Contest.
AsToN1sHEs ATHLETIC WORLD
Quaker Swimmer Had Planned Cam

but VIII Only Swim Eng

| PHILADELPHIA, Aug. A-Charles B.
astonshed the athletic world by his aqua
4 tic feats this season, has announced that
he will engage in just one more gruelling
| test, an attempt to swim the English
channel, and viii then retire. He win not
do any more long distance swimming this

posed thirty-four-mile swim from Sandy
Hook to the Battery, thence to Coney
Island.
| The Quaker swimmer had planned a

light and return. His performance in
swimming across the mouth of Delaware
bay from cape to cape, distance of
forty odd miles, has stamped Durborow
as leading swimmer of this country.
Delaware bay varies in width from
twelve to thirty-seven miles across. while
the breadth of the English channel is
from seventeen to twenty-five miles.
From Dover to Calais is short of twenty
miles, while from Cape May to the oppo-
site point on Delaware Bay, where Dur
borrow swami is nineteen and one-sixth
miles. On account of the tides and cross
channels he had to cover AZ 43-1OO miles.
One Bns as the other.
The tide in Delaware bay varies from
four to six miles per hour, while In the
channel it is from three to five miles.
The water in the channel Is more salty
and consequently more buoyant than in
the bGv. One place is as bad as another
in a blow, and mariners would as soon
take chance In either body of water in
gale
Captain Eldredge, who has been in
charge of the Cape May light station, ad-
vised Durborow that the swim was i'm
possible when he started. He recalled the
attempts of Matthew Webb, who gave up
after ten-hour battle with the tides. In
Durborow's swim he was carried out to
sea two and three-quarters miles, UP the
bay ten miles, and, after swimming four
teen hours and nine minutes landed eight
miles above Cape Henlopen on the Della
ware side. He partook Of no nourish-
ment while in the water. and ate only a
glass of milk and two boiled eggs two
hours before the start. He spoke only
twice during the swim. once to complain
that the salt water hurt his eyes and
again at the expiration Of the thirteenth
hour to ask how much further he had to

and left 1t at 4:2 the following afternoon.

tance.
Ten rounds is not an arduous journey
for fighter who knows how to econo-

established by users Of that stroke. In
the crawl the body is kept as close to the
