FOLKSTONE, England, Aug. 81.
Doctor @. B. Brewster, of London,
made an unheralded start in an at.
tempt to swim the English channel
at 11:45 a. m. today.
Doctor Brewster is one OF the few
channel swimmers of recent years
who has elected to make the at

the channel. His plans to make the
effort have been kept quiet ana ne
entered the water without any ado.

will make her second attempt to
swim the English channel Wednes,
dav or Thursday, dependent on the
vagaries of the changeable channel
weather.
She had intended to start Tues
day. but announced the postpone
ment early today.
Miss Ederle's alright If you know
how to handle her. said Burgess
today discussing the prospects OF
his pupil. "She is like most super
athletes though, for she disllkes
training and believes herself al
ways in perfect condition. have
had to be most tactful with her and
she has been training without know
ing 1t. If she continues to increase
in form she will do better than she
d9A ~ hnv& In 0ffnrn1f -
Miss Ederle's plans are being
somewhat upset by the efforts of
/. Helmy. the Egyptian swimmer,
to make start prior to that OF
the American girl. Scores of news
papermen and photographers are
here awaiting Miss Ederle's start
and Helmy, it is reported, anxious
to avail himself of all possible
publicity wants to make his attempt
before Miss Ederle so that he can
have the advantage of being prop
erly heralded, realizing that the
rewspapermen will probably leave
as soon as the American girl has
made her second attempt.
The American girl today agreed
to give up any plans OF starting to-
right in Difference to Helmy' s
wishes, and Helmy will probably
start his attempt at CLOCK To-
night. This decision to give way
to Helmy may be a considerable
sacrifice on the part Of Miss
Ederle, because If she does not
take the water by Friday she must
delay her attempt for another week
and risk the chance of the auJumnal
weather, making further attempts
this season impractical.
Mindful of the service rendered
her by Helmy, who pulled her out
of the water when she gave UP
her first attempt. Miss Ederle to-
day proposed that she accompany
Helmy tonight. but Burgess, her
trainer, refused her permission to
do so, although he will permit her
to go aboard the tug accompanying
Helmy.
Weather permitting, Burgess now
plans for the American girl to make
start either at 1880 wednesday
morning. or 500 Thursday morning
At noon today the channel was
rough. but the water was SIS
degrees, which is considerably
warmer than when Miss Ederle
made her first attempt.
