MANY HAVE TRIED
 ID SWIM CHANNEL
Historic GriZ Neg Has Seen Stout Hearts Fail in Attempt
BY LILLIAN CANNON

Copyright. 1926, by NEA Service.
 Gris Neg. France, June g - The fascination of the English channel is the sort Of thing that can be felt but not explained.
 This ancient Brittany coast abounds in lore to prove this - not merely the records Of ambitious swimmers. but stories of lovers. traders, missionaries, conquerors. Caesar came here and crossed: Ma poleon came, sazcd long and turned back. The townspcople tell now Of how narrowly they escaped invasion by Germany a dozen years ago when Germany wanted the channel ports as q possible base for cross ing.
 And this channel magnetism has drawn me and my dogs-thc van guard Of the seasonal invasion Of swimmers.
 Of course, for swimmers the chan neI has been given its paramount interest by long years of banIing efforts. IL has come 10 mean tL, greatest prize the water afford. There is no really devoted swimmer who would not rather swim the than discover an emerald mine. So, wc undergo the training grind with gladness
 The temperature Of the water is inc most conspicuous difficulty at present. I have mentioned it before. but it cannot he forgotten when one plunges in it every day. Chcsa- peoke Bay at home in January aver ages slightly warmer than tho chan nol in June. The water will moder- ate a few degrees by next month. want 10 say clearly, however, that it las not chilled my confidence.

Kaplan in his workouts with his sparrin 2 partners, has reached that vicious stage that means danger to his opponent. Garcia looks the plug u.ly and gives the impression of be- ing q killer, if there eyer was a uriza-fghtcr that could be called apch.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-23

The question upp"rmost in the minds Of fight fans in this state IS whether Kaplan can get down to the Ceatherweight limit and retain his strength. 4 glance at the champion today is assurance enough that be has taken over six pounds off so gradually that he has retained his strength and right now is in ttp-top shape.
