ANOTHER SWIM FOR
 FAIR SEX ONLY
Wrgley Considers Staging
 Event in Summer

Los Angeles, Jan. Is LPl - That William Wrigley, Jr., Chicago manu- facturer. may sponsor another S25,- 1000 Catalina channel swim such as that of last Saturday, except that the contestants would be exclusively wo- men, became a possibility today fol- lowing the announcement that the proposal was under advisement.
 The announcement was made last night by Oscar Reichow, business manager of the Los Angeles baseball club, which is owned by Wrigley. Reichow who was Wrigley's chief lieutenant in Saturdays event, said l. if another contest is fostered, it would be held some time this sum mer. and would provide S25,000 for three prizes.
 The recent deep-sea derby, which was won by IT var old George Young of Toronto, created new crop of professional swimmers, for virtually all of the 102 entries were amateurs before undertaking the feat. Entrance in tn prize competi- ton however. disqualified them for further amateur swimming.
 Those who wish to regain their amateur status will have to retire from the professional game for five years before they again will be elig- ible to compete as amateurs, accord ing to Amateur Athletic Union rul- ings.
 For Young, who, alone of the
 large field successfully padded across the 22 mile passage, it meant the loss of his prized standing as a
 Canadian amateur. But also it meant net profit of s15,oOo. He
 had a contract with Henry O'Bryen,
 his trainer and manager, giving the latter 50 per cent of his winnings. Young, however. has answered the call of the vaudeville stage and it Is said will realize s1,000 a night for brief appearance.
 Two other contestants, Miss Mar tha Stager of Portland. Oregon, and Mrs. Margaret Hauser, of Long Beach, gave up their amateur standings but each received in re- turn a s2.500 prize for their pluck. They swam for nearly 20 hours and were the last to leave the water.
 Reichow further revealed that Mrs. Charlotte Schoemmel. star New York women's swimmer, who was forced to drop out in the recent Marathon because of an injured leg, planned to come to the coast to participate. in the event MT. Wrigley stages a swim for women.
