CHANNEL AGAIN
 CONQUERS MAN
Helmy Quits When But Three
 Miles From Goal

Cape Gris Neg, France, Sept. l5 RS-OId Neptune again kept up the bars on the English channel this season and permitted no swimmer to cross 1t.
 The strength of four male natators was not sufficient 10 overcome him. and neither were the blankishments of four fair mermaids,
 lshak Helmy. the giant swimmer from Egypt, yesterday ended the channel crossing efforts for the year when he took to the water al Cape Gris Neg and tried to reach the tug and taken backto Boulogne. She for II hours and 32 minutes, but the water became too cold for him and he was forced 10 give up when with in three and one-half miles of his goal.
 Thus the channel has been con- uqered by only five men. No woman has ever swum 1t. The four women who made attempts to cross the cold and tracherous 20 odd miles this year were Lillian Harrison, an Ar genuine. who twice essayed the task and came respectively within five and eight miles of Dover; Mmo. Jene Sion, who reached within one and one-quarter miles of the cliffs; Ger trude t.derIc, the American. who got thirds the way across in eight hours and 46 minutes of swim ming in the toughest weather that any of the others encountered, and Mercedes Gleitzer. London typist, who twice took to the water but in neither attempt got out in the chan nel more than seven miles.
 Of all the years channel aspirauts Lieut.. Col Bernard c. Freyberg, a British soldier, who wears the Vic toria cross for conspicuous bravery. made the better record. He got within 600 yards of Dover in a crossing from Cape Gris Neg, but here the rushing tide caught him and swept him out to sea where he capitulated.
 Starting from Dover, Dr. C. B Brewster. an English physician sWam ten miles out through the tracherous currents and had 10 give up. Setsu Nishimuru, Japans long distance champion, quit after having been two hours and five minutes ir the water.
 There was one narrow escape from drowning during the seasons at' tcmpts 10 conquer the channel. This was in the second attempt of Miss Harrison. After having fough' against rain. high winds and rougl and cold water for hours the Argen' tine girls strength gave out. HemN at the time was pacing her. "Catcl me, Helmy, I am going down." sht suddenly exclaimed. She lurchet forward, caught the Egyptian roun' the neck and tainted. She was ther | hauled aboard the accompanying tug and taken back to Rouloge, Sht quickly recovered, however, and sui fered no ill effects from her eX pcrienCe.
 Miss Ederle also was in difficulty when she was taken from the water She had swallowed quantities of sal water repeatedly and it made he i'll. Helmy also held her up unti she could be lifted aboar' Inc tug
 The five men who have VI nm the channel are Captain Webb is75; T w. Burgess, the famous Englisl trainer, 1911; Charles 10th, Boston H. r. Sullivan. Lowell, Mass, anC Sebastian Tiraboochi, Argentina The three last men all crossed 1T 1923.

WEST VIRGINIA $ FOOTBALL
 SQUAD READY FOR ACTION
Mountaineers, With Great Record Behind Them, Have Wealth of Material for Another Successful Season.

Jacksons Alil w. Va, Sept, 10 Pl-West Virginia unliersitys proud and capable mountaineGrs once more stand ready for football strife, be- hind them an enYiable record under the coaching of the old Dartmouth ineman, Dr. C. w. Spears noN tt Minnesota and ahead of them glow ing prospects under the tuteIagc Of Ira Rodgers, Spears assistant, and q native son.
 The Spears system, which through three years experienced only two defeats still maintains, anu thpf- is q feeling in this camp nu ,he htils that this year the slate IS to remain clean-eyen with the menace ol the Fit Panthcrs.
 Perhaps nowhere in the |. $. can be found such q conditioning spot as this mountain gridiron, Early Tn the morning and late in the after noon, five score heavily logged foot ball candidates clash in scrimmage. A $45,O00 dining hall and seven cottages that range in value from $7,oO0 to .$l0,00O house the gIadia- tors and their aids.
 state Helps
 The State of West Virginia, the university, the citizens individually, have contributed to the project which now has provided year round home for various organiza- lions. The football squad remains here for two weeks, rent free, the i cost for meals approNimating s1.00 a day for each man.
 A wealth of hackfied material, q veteran line and courage born of success leads the teams friends 10 believe that this is another West Virginia year. Injuries have come but they are comparatively small and few and all of the regulars are expected to line up in the first game against Allegheny at Erie on Sept. 26.
 Here is the probable lineup: Clar- ence Murrin and Oliver. ends: Iitcll- CT and Davis, tackles: Captain w. E. Mahan and Iennewine. guards: Me- Henry, center: keefer, quarter: Hardy and Bruvder, halfbacks: Ed Morrison of Brlnnm. fullback.
 Mahan is the bulwark of the line. weighing 210 pounds, and his mates in the first defense areyeterans. tall, husky boys who should prove ob- 6tacles in the path of any set of backs, keefer is the only new conner behind the line.

FOURNIER DECLARES HE :.

Star First Baseman Insists That Crowd Has Roasted Him Too
 Niciously

New York. Sept. Is (P - A special dispatch from Pittsburgh to the New York Evening World says that First Baseman Jacques Four nier, of the Brooklyn Nationals now playing here. has announced that -he will not play another season in a Brooklyn uniform. Fournier says that his treatment by the fans has been of such abusive character as to make him wish to withdraw from baseball, Fournicr spoke with much bitterness. He has con- tract for next year at $12,500. In announcing his intention not 10 wear a Brooklyn uniform next year, Fournier saidr
 "I have been sixteen years in baseball and am accustomed to the fickIeness of crowds, but the roast ing 1 have received in Brooklyn has been so savage that l cannot play in a Brooklyn uniform and retain ny sell respect, very NllC udllto have been hurled at me overs and over again because I made the ordi- nary run of errors or had not done something which foul-mouthed per sons in the stand expected me to do.
 My determination not to play again for Brooklyn is not the result of pique over a few incidents. The abuse has been continuous for long time and has been totally un- dcserN ed. I have hit ,360 or better most of the time since l came to the Brooklyn club three years ago from St Louis, I have led the Ma tional league in driving in runs.
 Tn return for my efforts l have been denounced in the foulest of 1 language by the class of fans who have no respect for the women around them, or for themselves, | and who think that by paying the
 price of admission they have. ac- | quired the right to throw unlimited verbal filth upon a professional ball i player"
