.CATALINA ISLE
Mrs. Myrtle HuddlestOn Ac-
cOmplishes Feat in 20
Hours, AZ Minutes
TO GIVE SON EDUCATION
Already Has Offers to Go on
Stage-Three Other Start
ers Quit En- Route

Long Beach, Calf, Feb. 7.-lP)-
"A pot of gold" the means of giving
her 11-year-old son an education, to-
day appeared within the reach Of
Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston as a result
OF her courageous and successful
swimming Of the Catalina channel.
She was the first woman natator to
negotiate the 20-odd mile wide pass
age which separates Santa Catalina
Island from California's mainland.
Mrs. Huddleston, 80, former resi-
dent of Mattoon, Ill.,, competed for
no prize in her swim, but she expects
to realize large revenue from mo-
tion picture, vaudeville and advertis-
ing contracts as a result of her con-
quest. The fruits Of her victory,
boy, Everett, through school.
A tentative offer to 20 on the yau-
deville stage already has been made
to Mrs. Huddleston. who at present
is the proprietor Of beauty parlor
here.
Attacked BY Savage Fish
Mrs. Huddleston, who learned to
swim less than year ago, triumphed
over adverse tides, chilling waters
and fog to cross the waterway in 20
hours and AZ minutes. Even the at
t&ess of a savage barracuda fish fail
ed to stop her and at 1l:14 o'clock
yesterday morning she touched bot
tom at Point Vincente. Her attempt
started at 2:42 p. m. Saturday from
the 1sthmus on the island.
As the goal hove in sight, Mrs
HuddlcstOn, in near delerium, was
spurred on by her son who called to
her from a conveying rowboat:
Come on, mama; come on mama;
don't give up"
When she was helped out Of the
water after finishing the final quar-
ter mile she was in a state of semi
coma. She collapsed wnen lifted
into the boat. Her left side was
paralyzed.
About her arms and body were
bites and bruises received in her
battle with the barracuda which had
attacked her when she was midway
across the channel
Mrs. Huddleston's conquest cul-
minated her third attempt to nego-
tiate the channel. Last month she
participated in the Wrigley marathon
swim in which $4,000 prize was
offered for the first woman to cross
the channel She was taken from
.tke water after she had covered
about twO-thirdS OF the way.
Three Others Fail
Mrs. Huddleston was the only one
of four starters to reach the main
land. Peter Meyer of Cincinnati
gave up exhausted when he was
pig miles from the goal. Mrs.
Charlotte Schoemmell of New York
abandoned the swim after covering
approximately six miles. The third
unsuccessful swimmer was Miss
Martha Stager of Portland Oregon,
who gave up after covering 10l2
miles.
Surrounded by flowers sent by ad-
mirers, Mrs. Huddleston was resting
today in her apartment under the
care Of nurse. She was visibly
nervous but said she felt no i'll ef-
fccts from her strenuous swim. She
said she lost II pounds during the
o. teal.

NEW YORK, Nov. -"Tiger"
Flowers, former worlds middle
weight boxing champion, died at 8
p. m. Wednesday, following an oper-
alton for removal OF growth above
his right eye. He was operated on
at p. m. at DR.. w. j. Fralick's pri-
vate hospital. He expired as he was
regaining consciousness from the
anesthetic.
Blows receivedin some of his $50
fights had caused the growth, &C
cording to Dr. Fralick, who ex-
planned that the frontal bone had
been fractured, neceSsitating the re-
moval of loose bone fragments and
an osteoplastic deposit.
Amazing Boxer
Flowers was one of the most
amazing boxers In the history of
pugilism. In the ring the sheer fury
of his attack had earned for him the
title of "Tiger," while in his every
day life, his gentleness and /piety
caused him to be made deacon in a
Negro Methodist church at Atlanta.
He was one of the three left
handed boxers ever to win the
championship at any weight. AL
Mccoy and Johnny Wilson, also
middleweights, were the other two
SouthpawS who gained titles.
Speed and cleverness won most of
his fights. However, from 1918 I'M
til 1927 he had won forty-seven of
his 131 bouts by knockouts. He
gained decisions in fifty-two fights,
was knocked out eight times, lost
three decisions. fought two draws
and engaged in nineteen node
cision bouts prior to 1927.
Beat Greb for Title
Flowers won the middleweight
title from Harry Greb at Madison
Square Garden on Feb. IS, 1926,
after fifteen rounds of fighting. He
successfully defended the title
against Greb on Aug. 10, 1926, and
lost it to Mickey Walker on Dec. 3,
in the same year. Greb, incidental
ly, died a year or more ago under
much the same circumstances as
Flowers.
The National Boxing Association
recently issued a statement warning
Walker that if he refused to fight
Flowers within sixty days, they
would bar Walker from the ring.
Flowers died before negotiations
were completed for the title bout.
Theodore Flowers was born in
Camille, Ga, on Aug. 5, 1895. His
last fight in New York was with
Leo Gates, the heavyweight Mo-
hawk Chief, at the Olympic Club
on Saturday night. Flowres won on
a technical knockout. He weighed

Limited to Subject of
Contracts Only.
CASE is POSTPONED
Illness of Attorney Forces
Delay Until Monday.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 17.--zAfter
postponement today until Monday
of the trial of the $333,333 suit of
Jack Kearns against Jack Dempsey
reports were circulated again that
the suit would be settled out of
court.
Tex Rickard and Jack Dempsey
were not in court when Judge Run
yon announced that, because of the
illness of Arthur F. Driscoll, Demp-
sey's trial counsel, the hearing
would be postponed until Monday
morning at 10 o'clock. KearnS and
his counsel were present, however.
Kearns Prefers Trial
Kearns denied knowledge of any
new move to settle the case out of
court and he said he would not con-
slider any offer.
Kearns repeated that offers to
settle the suit had been made on
several occasions and that he had
declined the last move to COM
promise made on the night before
the case was called for trial.
1t is common gossip that some of
the persons who may be involved
urged Dempsey to keep the suit out
of court, but he denied that he
wanted to make any kind of settle
ment or had made any offers.
Jury Warned
In releasing the jury from serv-
ice until Monday Judge Runyon
gaev them the routine admonition
not to discuss the merits of the case
or to be influenced by any news
paper comments.
The principals and their counsel
seemed relieved that the jury had
been secured with comparative ease
and that none of the expected
battling had developed.
Although Kearns insists that he
will stick to the strict contract phase
of the case unless Rickard or Demp-
sey throws the first mud, the revela-
tons of the inside of the fight
racket" which have been threatened
may start at the next session.
The opinion, however, has been
heard that the court may not per-
NIT the testimony to wander into
any mud battle and will hold the
lawyers to questions pertaining only
to the legality of the contract.
