it was impossible to pick out any par
ticular favorite from the bobbing heads
showing above the ocean swels. Then,
through the wind swept spray and the
mist Of the rain it was seen that Tom
boy Gertrude" the unneralded, had
slowly forged ahead.
Using a powerful, steady stroke, the
fifteen -year-old girl was slowly but
surely drawing ahead Of her more ia
nous competitors. Behind her was Miss
Wainwright. Still farther back was the
visitor from overseas, Miss James.
So it was to the finish.
And as she glded past the finishing
boats, Gertrude turned her stroke and
instead of going toward the judges
beat hastened to the shore. ran briskly
through the surf, apparently as un-
tagged as when she started, and dashed

into the Shrewsbury River, swim about
bit and then dash of to get into
ball game. A cousin visited them oc-
casionally, and to Gertrude he was an
object Of envy, because stuffing his
fingers in his mouth he could whistle
loud, sharp note which might be heard
for city block. So cousin became her
tutor and she became 30 adept that
she abandoned the feminine "yoo -hho.'
Gertrude then began initiating birds,
learned peculiar cat call, and even
when wbistling a lively popular tune
she would put on some pretty and in
tricate "frills."
Last summer, despite the fact that
she had not been practicing regularly,
she entered hundred yard dash ut

won. That was her first real taste Of
individual victory, and it was then that
she really became interested in mas
tering the swimming stroke. She began
entering contests and Travelled to Bos-

PEELED her at school she wanted to be

intensive training.
And almost every swimming contest
she entered she either won or was so
close to the winner as to spur her on
TO more strenuous practice each day.
The summer at Highland last year
was a busy one. Deplorabe as it might
seem to her, rooms would get dusty and
clothes must be mended and pressed,
but the very moment the last stitch had
been taken and the remaining bit of
dust fecked away. she was off for the
river. And just as baseball in her

Gertrude Took to Water
Just Like q Duck Does

She began with the wcll-known doggy
paddle to keep her chin above water,
and to exercise sufficiently to keep
warm.
Within two weeks she managed to
keep going with this paddle stroke, and
the fact that she had accomplished this
much encouraged her and made her
want to learn different and better
method. She soon realized that the
doggy paddle was not the thing to do.
SO, carefully watching others, she deS
veloped "wild' overland stroke of
her own. With this she did manage to
make more progress, but it was stren-
uous and tired her very easily.
But it was not all swimming!
In the country she had chance to
turn cartwheels and handsprings. In
q nook where no one could see her first
far from graceful attempts, Sue turned
and turned until she mastered the cart
wheel. Finally she came out in the
open with it.
Boys whose families had cottages at
Highland soon realized that a "real
feller" was in their midst, and they
sought her when a ball game was
started. And any boy member Of the
crowd who could not turn handsprings
would devote much time and energy to-
ward learning in order to compete with
the redoubtable Gertrude.
Before Gertrude was thirteen she
joined the Woman's Swimming Associa-
tiOn of New York. A large pool made
it possible for her to practice during
the winter months. Soon she was suffi-
ciently proficient to qualify for the relay
team sent by her organization. the w.
S. A., to Detroit to compete in the
junior national 4OC-yard relay cham
pionship. This was the first time she
had attempted anything of that sort,
but she helped to win the event for
her team in record time.
When Gertrude was fourteen she was

Gertrude Is now teaching her two-
year-old brother. Henry, to swim. The
youngster will not begin with a doggie
paddle. for he is getting first hand in
formation from one who knows, and his
little arms splash about in orthodox
fashion.
Henry. as well as all the little broth
ers and sisters. is an ardent admirer Of
'Gertrude: in fact. he dogs her steps

And in every part Of the United
States where fond but prudent
parents are shaking admonishing
fingers at the too strenuous exub-
erance Of girl offspring and saying
Don't be tomboy," the retort un-
answerable is coming:
What about Gertrude Ederle ?
Isn't she 'tomboy'? And wouldn't
you be proud Of her?"
And usually the proud parents
Glance at the stories of Gertrude
and are silent for the nonce at least.
Into the whirl of New York one
morning a blue-eyed baby was born.
To her parents it was an event to be
heralded from the tops Of the high
est buildings.
To others it was a matter Of no
Importance. Many more blue-eyed
babies came into New York the same
day and Justify proclaimed the fact,
but New York was not interested.
But this particular blue-eyed baby
was not to 60 unnoticed long, for
now the sporting world is singing
her praises for her recent victory at
Brighton Beach, where she won the
international championship, swim
ming three and one-half miles in
hour, 1 minute and 81 2-5 seconds.
When Gertrude was a little girl
she was not satisfied with sitting
about nursing flaxen-haired dolls.
Rather was she interested in seeing
the wheels go round, and she would
poke her smudge Of a nose into the
mechanism Of any and all Of her
toys.
II was nothing less than fatal to
leave clock in reach of her prying,
chubby fingers, because she would
twist and turn it until she was sur
rounded by impenetrable maze Of
wires and wheels. All the nitric
acies of the inner workings Of a
clock would be laid bare before her:
