TWO SWIMMERS HAVECROSSED
 WIDE CHANNEL
By Associated Prcss)

NEW YORK, Sept 26-The fail ure last week of Henry Sullivan, of Lowell Mass, to swim the English channel on his fifth attempt. recalls the efforts of swimmers from all corners of the world to accomplish the feat.
 Only twice in history has the rest less stretch of water given way to the efforts of aquatic stars, In 1875 Captain Matthew Webb. an English man. crossed from Dover to Calais in 2l hours, 35 minutes. He was fav- ored by light wind and compara- lively calm sea. actually swimming about 32 miles.
 The distance across the channel at the narrowest point Dover to Cape Gris Nez, a French headlaAd in the Pas de Calais, is about 20 miles but swimmers are compelled to ziGzaG in combating the waves and tides.
 The second successful attempt to cross the channel was made on Sept. G. 1911, by William T. Burgess, an Englishman by birth. but q natural. lzed Freuchman. Fifteen times pre- yiou-Iy he had attempted tO mako the porilous swim. On the sixteenth he swam from South Forcland, Dover. 90 Lo Chatclet a little village two miles east of Cape Griz Nez, in 22 hours. 35 minutes. He covered about 60 miles.
 Burgess feat was considered even more wonderful than that of Captain Webb in that he met with the most adverse conditions In mid.channcl he was stung severely by jelly-fish and became il land was ready to abandon the swim. When but short distance off the French coast he met the ebbng tides and battled for three hours before reaching slack water
 Two other men said to have accom- plished the feat could not prove their claims Captain Davis Dalton. of New York. decleared he swam the channel in August. 1890, covering 50 miles in 23 hours. 30 minutes. He claimed to have swum the entire distance on his back. and to have been so blinded by salt water that his sight wasF impaired for months afterward
 Sam Mahoney, of Revere Beach. Mass, asserted that he swam from Sangatee. France. to South Fore!and. in September. 1908, but this was not proved
 Jabez Wolfe. the veteran English swimmer has made 21 unsuccessful attempts to cross and is planning another In September 1908. he ar rived within sight of the Calais pier but became ill and was taken from the water. He had been in the water 23 hours.
 In August of 1908. James Mearns, the Scottish swimming champion. nearly lost his life in the swim. He was i'll and drowning when rescued by friends in mid-Channel.
 Montagu Holbein, of England. tried seven times to cross. In 1903 he ar, rived within a mile of Dover after swimming 22 hours, 21 minutes, giv- ing up because of exhaustion.
 Annette Kellerman. a native born Australian. called the worlds greatest woman swimmer, made several at tempts without success. She now is citizen of the United States.
 Rose Pitonof, of Boston, went to England in 1912 with the avowed purpose of conquering the channel waves but never found conditions fay orable and returned to America.
 Many others of lesser note have tried and failed. Sullivan has de Clared he will make another try in few weeks. Omer Perrault, of Canada. and Tiraboschi. the Italian swimmer are training for the event.
