Durborow writes THE published rules
for the Tribune Marathon Swim are in
most respects ably devised. but ! cannot
fully agree with the desirability OF oblig
ing all TO follow given course. ! under
stand for instance that experts advocate
cutting across TO the Brooklyn shore from
the Battery and going through Butter
milk Channel. For my part l should
prefer swimming straight down the mid
die Of the Upper Bay. AS all must pass
through the Narrows anyhow, IT VIII be
an easy matter for the committee boat TO
keep track of the competitors, and ] am
sure 81 will prove a good plan to let the
men select their own way. For the rest

OF an amateur race to be held over the
Sandy Hook course was welcome TO me-
and / am pleased TO note it will be sane

otherwise have competed. l have now
started training, and hope to be in top
form when the event comes off.
about the date, / would like the COM
mttee 10 consider that on July 10 the
tide will be high at Governors Island at
4 40 a. m, which is pretty early in the
morning to gather contestants and OF
I fcials. On July 26, instead. high water
mark comes at II :13 a. m, more rea-
sonable hour, and still allowing the need
ed time before evening to complete the

start be made one hour before high tide

upon, that we may have the advantage or
the ebbing current on the final stretch OF

McDermott, the Ten Mile
Champion, Anxious to
Test His Skill in
Long Race.

Commodore Alfred Brown. the profess
sional long distance swimming champion
OF America. who is booked to attempt the
crossing of the English Channel next
summer. has decided to postpone his trip
abroad in order to witness the Tribune
Marathon Swim.
He had made all arrangements to sail
on July IS, but when he heard that the
big race probably would be held on the
following day he announced that he would
put off his departure couple OF weeks
and be sure of seeing what he calls 1.-The
big race
This is another instance Of the great
interest which the contest has aroused
Inquiries and suggestions continue TO
pour in. and it becomes daily more EVIL
dent that not only the swimming fra
ternity but the public at large also is
looking forward eagerly to the race
which will settle definitely the question
of supremacy among amateur long dis
lance swimmers.
Commodore Brown has consented to
serve on the course committee, and his
assistance in charting the best possible
route will be most valuable, for none is
better qualified to pass judgment on the
! subject He was the first man to cover
the long stretch between the Battery and
/ Sandy Hook, and he knows the waters oil
/ New York Bay as an angler does his
! favorite trout pool.
! Furthermore. his experience in distance
/ swimming makes his advice particularly
! weighty For twenty-three years he has
! followed aquatic sports, and during thai
time many remarkable performances have
! gone to his credit. He holds most OF tht
records for tests Of endurance In loca
waters. and he is the only swimmer sc
far to have spanned the Panama Cana

on platform demanding free tolls TO-
American shipping, Mr.. Wilson told the
people the Panama canal was an Ameri-
can enterprise, built by American en-
gineers, paid for with American money
and upon American territory. He said
at that time: 1.-THE canal must be con-
trolled by the American people" He said
that coastwise traffic was beyond the
jurisdiction of any treaty with any other
nation, because it would be wholly with
in the borders of our country. He en-
dorsed the measure then before Con-
gress, exempting American coastwise
shipping from such tolls as this country
might collect of foreign shipping going
through the canal. He said freight rates
would be reduced and the high cost OF
living would come down. He said 1t
would encourage American shipping from
Maine to Mexico.
Why this change of front!
