rounded Huffman's ribs in corner.
Eddie twisted loose and sunk fine
left to Stribling's body AS he canre
away, Stribling infuriatedly smashed
fectively to both head and body.
Huffman looked tired and he clinched
when Stribling cuffed him twice on
the chin with his left before the
bell.
Round Eight
Stribling started dancing again but
Huffman's short right brought him
in close for a slugging bee. The
sailor pounded Stribling about the
ribs and took a short left to the
head as they went away. Stribling
mauled away at Huffman's body as
they went from clinch to clinch in
the center of the ring. The Georgian
snapped over two lefts before pound
ing Huffman heavily with a right to
the head. Stribling's long left found
an easy target in Huffman's chin,
but he was dancing away at the gong.
Round Nine
Stribling loafed around the center
of the ring content to jab and fid-
die. Huffman took after him and
whaled a fine left into Stribling's
stomach. The Georgian's showing
was disappointing as he mauled and
pulled at the coast battler. Stribling
cooked his right but Huffman tore
and evading it whipped over two
rights to Stribling head. The sailor
jumped in with left hook tO tha
stomach but stribling grabbed him
and they were wrestling when the
gong rang.

Both jumped out into furious ex-
change, glaring difference in fight

crashed into the breakwater at San
Fedro. Meyer himself was saved
from possible serious injury when a
galley cable prevented him from be-
ing thrown head-first into a pit.
The Prosperity, after all aboard had
been removed safely, was towed to
port with the water washing her
pilot house. Meyer started the swim
at the isthmus at 4:O5 p. m.
Mrs Charlotte Schoemmel of New
York, whose start was delayed until
6:SO Sunday because her yacht
was stalled in mid-channel for, sew
eral hours by motor trouble, was re-
ported to have abandoned the swim
just before noon. She fought
approximately six miles of choppy
seas before she decided to quit when
her conveying yacht again, developed
motor trouble and could not keep pace
with her.
Miss Martha Stager OF Portland,
Ore, who swan farther than any
other woman entrant in the recent
ocean marathon, gave up her second
battle to cross the channel at 1853
Sunday morning after swimming since
9:31 p. m. Saturday night. She started
from Johnson's landing, three miles
from the isthmus and left the water
approximately 10 IL miles out.
Mrs. Huddleston, who took no
nourishment from start to finish, ac-
cording to those who accompanied
her, was coached on the long swim
by 10th and others. She was in dire
distress from dawn until she
was pulled helpless into her boat.
At o'clock, however, tide which
had retarded her efforts for several
hours turned and aided the fast
firing swimmer.
AS she finally neared the rocky bay
where both Young and Sullivan had
landed before, Mrs. Huddleston was
i'll a state of semi-coma. She was
given a stimulant as she appeared
about to fail when only a few hun
dred yards off shore, and Carlton
Adler, Buffalo, N. Y, swimmer, leap
ed in and swan alongside the sob
bing woman. High breakers caught
her and carried her forward as her
arms swung out slowly and her legs
floated uselessly. When she was
finally carried into her depth, she
was lifted into the boat where she
collapsed. Her left side was pafalyzed
and she was unable to move.

"She did it,"
He added: '1t was remarkable

Mrs. Huddleston, in delirium and
sobbing historically swung forward
mechanically in the last torturous
quarter mile before touching bottom
at Point Vicente, while her II year
old son, in a row boat called out:
Come on, mamma; come on, mamma,
don't give up. She was helped into
her boat at 11:14 a. M, after swim
ming continuously for 20 hours and
AZ minutes from the isthmus on the
island where she put off Saturday at
2:32 p. m. for the fog shrouded main
land, where no prize awaited her.
Mrs. Huddleston's time was nearly
two hours less than that required by
Henry F. Sullivan of Lowell, Mass,
who crossed the waterway week ago
ir 22 hours and As minutes.
Three other swimmers, two of them
of national repute took off from the
island early but gave up their
attempts because of adverse weather
and water conditions.

Huddleston of Long Beach, who took
up swimming less than a year ago
as means of reducing, Sunday sue
ceeded after almost superhuman eff
fort in her third attempt to swim
San Pedro channel and was pro-
claimed the first woman ever to
have padded across the 20-odd mile
waterway separating Santa Catalan
island from California's minland.
When Mrs. Huddleston touched
land, she collapsed, her left side was
paralyzed and she was unable to
move.
The narrowing experience of having
been attacked by a savage barracuda
which bit her about the arms and
body, was related tonight by Mrs.
Huddleston.
Mrs. Huddleston said she was about
midway across the channel from
Santa Catalina island when the fish,
large in size, struck her and bit her
on the left breast and abdomen. In
her attempt to ward off further at
tacks she received bites and bruises
on her left arm.
Her time was 20 hours and 42
minutes, approximately five hours
longer than the time required by
George Young, Toronto youth, who
won the 900 William Wrigley,
Jr., cash prize for swimming the
channel on january 16. With Mrs.
Huddleston the swim was labor
Of love.
She was accompanied throughout

ach. The fans hooted openly as

by the issuance Of Prof. Van Dykes
Rembrandt and His School," which
reattributed some of Rembrandt's
most famous paintings to less well
known artists of Rembrandt's time.
Prof. Van Dyke is essentially an
iconoclast. and now he informs us that
Rembrandt's greatest works--that is,
those which have been held as his
greatest, such as "The Hundred Guilder
Print" "The Three Trees" 1.-The Three
Crosses" and 1.-The Christ Before
Pilate"-were not by the hand Of the
master, but from the Rembrandt
Shop" and bore the name Rembrandt
merely as a trade mark. This cannot
fail to shock the collector who has
paid Rembrandt prices for these
prints or the amateur who has gaZed
upon them with reverent admiration.
Obviously, 1t does not affect the quail
ity or the merit of the prints, but it
does steal away some Of their accrued
interest. Yet Prof. Van Dyke claims
that by so reattributing the works
which were not Rembrandt's he is
adding to the masters reputation.
1.-The presence Of SO many crude
etchingS in the oeuvre makes quite
