CATALINA SWIM
 MOST DIFFICULT
Regarded as Harder Than Eng
 "Ilif Ilifsa Channel

San Pedro, Cal, Oct. IS LP - Long distance swimmers who have shattered English channel crossing records would meet greater obstacles in the water gap between the Cal ifornia mainland and Santa Cata- lima Island. This is the opinion of swimming experts who point to icy cold water, continual winds, tides and currents.
 Although Catalina channel gener- ally is not as rough as the English course, it offers many other prob lens. Thus far 1t remains un- conquered, although numerous at tempts have been made.
 Waters Very Cold Chilling waters, which will prove barrier to many swimmers, this year thwarted the efforts of a man and a girl, but a relay team of fif- teen made the crossing after heroic eXertions. Observations during that swim showed currents which toss swimmer about like chip.
 Water experts agree that an at tempt from the island to the main land between Arrow Point on the i island and Point Vicente on the ! mainland, is the most feasible. This is a distance of approximately sev- | enteen miles but twenty-five miles is a conservative estimate of the dis tance that would have to be covered at this stretch. Tides, encountered at opportune moments, might prove | of assistance.
 No Helping Currents
 The water has temperatures rang ing below SO degrees during the winter months. Midway, it has been found, is a stretch ten to twelve miles wide where the temperature seldom varies from 53 to 54 degrees. In many English channel swims, the lowest temperature encountered was 62 degrees.
 Assisting currents prevalent in the English channel are practically i absent in the western passage, ir- respective if which direction a l swimmer selects. A current six miles wide and flowing directly across the course at a speed of about one knot is encountered on an at 1 tempt from the mainland. An off, shore current, found off the island, runs like a mill race toward its westerly end, with slight tendency toward mainland. This may prove a slight aid to swimmers starting from | the island.
 Attempts Been Failures
 The performance of Art Bamfield in 1923 Is perhaps the outstanding individual try in the channels swimming history, Starting from the mainland, he swan for hours and 20 minutes before he gave up. John Radowich, a sailor, slipped into the water from the island side, when weather conditions appeared at their best, and was taken from

 Miss Dodie Blewett, 19-year old Los Angeles girl, tackled the pas sage but the coldness of the water halted her attempt after 57 minutes of swimming She had covered ap- proXimately two miles.

Old Man Shows Up Young Man
 in Matter of Manners
By the Associated Press.

oy lAe AssoCldleu ETess.
 Subway Sketch: The rush hour, young men and flappers have man. aged to get most of the seats. A feeble old man sands holding strap. The train stops, an old wo- man enters. No one offers her seat The old man regards one of the young men with interest, leans over and taps him on the knee and then turns to the old woman say ing permit me madam to offer you a seat" The dapper young man bushes and rises; the old woman thanks them both.
 Clinging to a sporting custom of their youths, group of old men form sort of guild of croquet play CTS meeting daily in Central Park. Complete with mallets and balls, for chase through the wire wickets, they team off and play, sunshine or cloudy. When it rains, many times they use umbrellas.
 If its true, as the psychologists declare, that the average person would rather descend than ascend stairs. the prosperity of New York's hundreds of basement shops might be accounted for. Offering their wares few steps below the level of the sidewalk, they tantalize the purse strings to unloosen for every thing from tea to tambourines.
 Reminding the New Yorker of the thousands Of strangers in the city daily Is the constancy with which he is assailed by visitors seeking direc- tions. The usual advice given such strangers is: If you want concise directions, don't ask 8 native: ask someone who's been here only 8 few months. He probably knows the ropes better than g native son."
 And that leads to another phase of the problem of getting about the big city. Many a stranger, spotted as such by the sharp cab driver he appeals to- finds his cab fare double what 1t normally would be, after the cabby has circled the named desti- nation, declaring that he never heard of, or had to go to that place before.
 Echoes of the recent heavy weight championship bout at Phila- delphia can be heard yet in New York.

Many of the shops also display colored prints and steel engravings of famous prize
