He had completed twelve and one
half miles.
Today officials were uncertain
what was to be done about the
purse. They had announced that
no prizes would be paid unless the
actual fifteen miles had been swum.
The race probably was the great
est swimming endurance test ever
attempted in North America. There
was a field of $50 on hand but re-
ports that the water was about 81
degrees lowered this field until at
the start there were only 1919 to
answer the gun. Among that crowd
was one girl, Olive Gatterdam OF
Seattle, Wash.
Through the day the race turned
into an elimination contest. Despite
the sun the water continued frigid
and one by one the contestants
signaled tc their accompanying
boats that they had enough. Miss
Gatterdam lasted one hour.
Young Into Lead
George Young, the Canadian boy
who won the Catalina marathon,
was one of the favored and was
watched closely as he kept well up
in the early stages of the race. About
p. m. he challenged Norman Ross
and won the duel. Ross quit.
Then Vierkotter, the one-eyed
German, challenged Young. Vier-
hotter won. At 2 p. m. Young sig
nailed he had enough Of the bitter
race.
After dusk last night there were
four contestants left, Michel, Vier-
hotter, Roland Tegtmeier and Louis
I. Matthias. Tegtmeier, a Seattle
swimmer, was forced to withdraw at
$3.50 p. m.
Vierkottter was we'll in the lead
but shortly before 7 O'Clock his
handlers had to pull him from the
water. He was exhausted, chilled
through, and half unconscious. AT
7 O'Clock Matthias gave up.
Last to Give Up
Michel continued alone, although
he was unaware that the race had
now become a one-man endurance
contest. His thick arms paved the
water in regular beat and as he
approached closer and closer to the
finish line it seemed he would be
able to finish and claim the $25,00C
first prize money.
But at 1917 p. m. he too had to
quit, content only with the knowl-
edge he had beaten his German
competitor. He had passed the
mark where Vierkotter had been
forced to withdraw and had re-
manned in the water longer than
all others and had completed more
laps.
