"One has only to observe the pic

see that she was incapable of making
any further effort. Handley, Miss
Ederle's coach, was not present, and
Miss Viets, her attendant, was on
tug about 80 yards away at the time
OF the collapse and therefore not in

II am of the opinion that had Miss
Ederle followed my instructions and
not been interfered with by her coach
and other advisers she would have
succeeded in swimming the channel.

On her arrival in New York Fri

would have kept on swimming and
that there was no truth in the story
that she collapsed. She added that
HelIny was swimming with her and
that she was going strong when Wolfe

the training of Gertrude Ederle after

said that at the time the American
girl was taken from the water on her

in actual difficulty. In fact, If he had
been closer to her he would have
himself gone to her assistance.
On the other hand, Joseph Costa,
who managed Miss Ederle's attempt
as well as those of several other
channel aspirants, thought she had

the Egyptian swimmer, touched her
and indicated that the trial was over.

Manager Harris was the victim of
a new American League rule yester-
day, when chased to the clubhouse by
Umpire Connolly in the seventh in
ming. Ban Johnson has ordered that
any player removed from d game
must retire from his clubs bench i'm
mediately. Harris, believing the order
did not apply to playing managers, re-
manned in the dugout to watch the
game after yielding his position at
second base to Recruit Stewart. But
Connolly insisted that Harris must
leave.
Rice, Moon Harris and SEVERED fat
tened their batting marks. After walk
ing the first time he stepped to the

and a pass and in five times at bat
Hank got three singles. The catcher's S

made by a National.
Goslin was knocked to the ground
by one of Kerr's pitches in the first
inning. The ball landed against the
Gooses left arm and bruised it severe

In the third inning the Sox did some
foolish tossing, but the Nationals got
little out of it. When Moon Harris
singled to left, Goslin turned the sec
ond sack, then stopped: Falk careless
