ENTRANTS FOR

QUIT MAINLAND
Establish Camps on Isle
to Prepare for Coming
Race.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12.-Fcar
of scasickness which might result
if last minute crossing was made,
has driven most of the competitors
in the $4,000 Wrigley Ocean Mara
thon from their mainland training
quarters to Catalina Island from
where the 23 mile channel swim
will start Saturday.
The boat crossing to the "magic
isle' owned by William Wrigley,
Jr., sponsor of the great sea derby,
is often rough and none of the con
tcstants wishes to take u chance on
being forced out of the swim before
the take-off.
The recent cold spell, with the
temperature of the water tested at
81, brings forth again the conten-
tion that Drawn is more likely to
cut into the $4,000 melon than ci-
ther speed or brain.
Norman Ross, Chicago natator
and holder of many world S records
still is favored to finish first
among the male cntries-if any fin
ish. However, other favorites,
slower but with ability to last in
definitely in cold water are gaining
considerable attention.
If the race is to the strong instead
of the speedy, Henry Sullivan and
Charles 10th, both of Massachusetts
and both of whom list the English
channel among their accomplish
ments, are conceded Il good chance
TO strike the mainland.
Emako Gluko, full blooded Eski-
mo, who boasts a Bcring Straits
crossing, is listed as one of the dark
horses of the meet
OF the women entries, Mrs. Lottic
SchoemmcI, Bear Grease advo-
cate, and Miss Clarabcllc Barrett,
are conceded the best chances to
land in the money.
They have established separate
camps on the island to put in their
finishing training touches.
