Channel was DociIe

| am told thai swimming the
channel is a gamble as much on the
weather as on the athletic prowess
of the man or woman making the
attempt.
also am told that 1925 was an
ideal summer for channel swimming;
that never in the history of that
body of wafer has it been quite so
docile.
HOY. ever, it would seem that some
one must have worn smooth path
through the water, so easily was
the channel conquered after Miss
Ederle's triumph
How the swimmers got over is
of no great moment. Those who
turned the trick and conformed to
the rules of sportsmanship are de-
serving of great credit.
You will recall that some Of Miss
Ederle's critics insisted that she was
helped by the tugs that accom-
panied her across the body Of water.
