trude Ederle. the New York girl who Is planning to swim across the wat erway.
 There were many important morning newspapers that did not even record tho plucky attempt of Mile. Sion when she was forced 10 abandon when less than two miles from the goal.
 The majority of the papers hard ly printed a line before the event and after 1t occurred they dismissed 1t as briefly as possible. On the other hand. much space Is being given to the plans and prospects of Miss Ederle, who Is welcomed by the sporting journals as the "only com- petitor really possessing qualities requisite for the exploit being several classes above those who have at tempted or succeeded in It."
 The ability of the American girl to use the crawl stroke and the lat est methods of swimming instead Of being limited to the breast stroke, is explained to the readers as givinG her speed without the cbance of fatigue. This leads the writers tc the prophecy that she will succee in her first attempt and will beat the record time of 16 hours 23 minutes made by Enrique Tirabocchi of Ar gentina when he swam from Calias to Dover In August, 1923.
