Pitcher Rettig Sought
by Yanks and White Sox
Newark Pitcher Undecided
About Going With Athletics.

Otto Rettig. the Newark semi-pro
pitcher who defeated the Browns the
other day In his major league debut
for the Athletics. may precipitate a
mixup In baseball circles.
1t seems Rettig has not signed a defi--
mite contract with Connie Mack and
the Yankees and the White Sox are
angling for his services, 1t is said. Ger
tainly Mack is going to make clainf
for Rettig's services. inasmuch as the
pitcher came into public notice with
the Athletics through the influence of
Catcher Frank Bruggy.
Rettig. 1t is reported. has an appoint
ment with Ed Batrow, business man.
ager of the Yankees, and Patsy Dono-
van. who Is scouting for the White
Sox, has been trying to get in touch
with the pitcher.
Rettig is holding off his final con-
ference with Mack until he hears what
the other clubs have to offer. In view
Of Rettig's actions. the question is being
asked II Connie Mack sent the young
man into the box against the Browns
without the ormality Of signing con-
tract.

Reverse Tide Prevents
Finish in Ten Mile Swim
Edward Heating Leads %
When Rockaway Race Ends.

Miscalculation concerning tidal con-
ditions spoiled the ten mile ocean swim
Of the Park Inn Bath, Rockaway, yes
terday. After nearly six hours Of steady
plugging the leading contenders were
caught by the turning current as night
fell and could make no headway, so the
referee had them taken from the water
Edward Heating of the Boys Club,
runner up In the national long distance
championships one week ago, was In
the lead at the time. $3.50 p. M, about
three miles from the finish line. William
Sadlo of the New York S. A. held Sec
ond place, probably one mile behind. Fl.

Corps and Ewald Wildforster OF the
New York A. c.. believed to be the only
other survivors--darknes prevented
making sure-wcre approximately one
quarter and one-half mile respectively
back OF Sadlo.
Twenty-eight starters reported for the
race and they were sent off on the long
Journey from the Park Inn Baths at
p. M.
The course was from the baths to and
around Rockaway Point, then inside ia
maica Bay to the Harbor Inn.
For the first five miles, to the Point,
II was smooth sailing. The flooding tide
helped the contestants and they made
good time. The vanguard Of the field
reached the Point at $50 p. M. But
there trouble began. In rounding the
spit of land the flooding tide causes an
eddy and as the swimmers crossed the
shallow sand bar off the Point they
found an opposing current 1t was the
undoing of most of them. Only seven
were able to force their way up Ja-
maica Bay. The others presently aban-
doned the test.
Then came the struggle along the in
side shore and the end at nightfall. when
the tide backed up and started to etb.
making Il impossible for the four pluclSy
survivors to advance any further.

"Chicls" Thompson. has decided to desert
Columbia University for Georgetown.
Inasmuch as Thompson as freshman
was ineligible on account Of poor schol-
