lOO-Mile Swim To Be Attempted
BY Elionsky, Endurance King
Distance Champion Plans
to Start and Finish Cen
tury' at Brighton Beach

Henry Elionsky. the worlds cham
plon endurance and handicap swim
mer, is coming out of retirement, after
being on the inactive list for nearly
two years, during which he was in the
navy The holder of more records
than any natator in the game is "com-
ing back" in an effort to achieve his
life ambition-a 10O-mile swim.
The century" has never been ac-
ccmplished, nor even attempted by anv
other swimmer. Elionsky is the holder
OF the present record for distance navi-
CATION, with a performance of sixty
five miles in New York waters. 1t is
and he will probably make his en-
deaver before the end of the month.
Elionsky had intended to remain in
the secluson of his Cleveland home
and to abandon the swimming game
for all time, but he has heard the call
and cannot resist the lure to gain more
laurel wreaths. The management of the
Brighton Beach Baths is responsible
for bringing Elionsky out of retire
ment.
Accardoing to tentative plans, the
champion Will start and finish the Cen
tury' at the Brighton Baths He will
SWIM to point nine and one-half
miles at sea and return, and then will
cover half a mile each way in front
of the resort He will traverse this
route five times. AS the Brighton Baths
has the longest beach on the Atlantic
seaboard, thousands will thus be en-
abled to watch Elionsky for quite a
distance Of his record breaking effort.
Elionsky is regarded as the greatest
endurance swimmer in the history Of
the sport. AS far as distance covering
is concerned he has no peer, and in
tests of endurance and stamina has
proved himself supreme. His most
noteworthy performances have been
attained with his hands and feet
shackled.
On one occasion he swan from the
Battery to Swinburne Island and re-
turn, distance of thirty miles, with
hands and feet bound, in ten hours and
twenty minutes. On another, with
both extremities and hands knotted,
he towed nine men in sea dory and
with two men strapped on his back
swan a considerable distance.
Elionsky has no aversion to swim
ming while bound in a shair or en-
cased in a regulation strait-jacket
He is always devising a novel method
to test his powers, and has vet to
acknowledge defeat in any undertaking
in the water

Again
Take First H0nOrs
In Olympic Shoot

BEVERLOO, Belgium, July 31.-The
American marksmen, using the Ameri-
can army rifle against a field of thir-
teen other teams, have by the unof-
fetal score won both the team and in
dlvldual matches in the Olympic
classic free-for-a rife competition.
The other teams used for the most
part high power hunting and target
guns.
Rainy weather greeted the marks
men at the beginning of the Olympic
target classic, the free for-all rifles
event, and shooting progressed SLOWLY.
Each competitor was required to fire
l2O shots in the individual match and
also, If he was entered in the team
competition, was obliged to shoot 100
additional.
Although all the scores are not vet
IN, 1T appears that America leads in
the team shoot by large margin, with
total score of 1876. Norway scored
4,743; Switzerland, 1899; Denmark,
4,64O; Sweden, 1891; France, ATS:
Italy, 1869; Holland, 1876, and Greece,
Following are the American individ-
ual scores: Fisher, 997; Osburn. 97S:
Sp,10'oner, 97e; Lee, 965, and Fenton, $50.
The Americans shot magnihcentlv.
FISHER is believed to have won the in
diY dual championship. His score, 997,
50 lar as the returns show, is only an
preached by that of Larsen. Dane
whose count was 985.

POLITICAL NOTES

Alfred Gillison's political friends
put lone over on him" while he was
touring in the West last week. They
prepared a petition and secured the
necessary number of subscribers there
to to place his name OF the Republic
can ticket for member of Council. AL
is an old timer in the political field,
and his experience covering a number
of years as an Atlantic City politician
makes him a past master in the art.
He says, however, that he is in the
hands of his friends and in an adver-
tisement in this issue of the Record
announces his platform. He also says
that personally he will solicit no votes.
Mr.. Gillison is one of our progressive
citizens and conducts a planning mill
on Oak street.
Collins B. Allen, it appears, will
have no opposition this year either in
the primary or general election for
Senator. For a long time the name of
Charles L. Smith, of Penns Grove, has
been mentioned as a Republican can
didate but he did not file a petition.
1t was also thought that Henry Burt
Ware, of Salem, would be the Demo-
cratic candidate, having received the
endorsement of the County Executive
Committee, but he has decided other
wise.
Frank Patterson, candidate for Con-
gress on the Republican ticket will use
the legend or slogan, america First,
Europe Second" You can't do that,
Frank. President Wilson has already
put America in that position.
