POSTPONE MARATHON FOR MORE FAVORABLE WEATHER
Fourth Annual Wrigley Swim Will Not Be Held Until Cold Winds
 Have Died Down.

Toronto. Ont, Aug. % P)-The fourth annual Wrigley marathon swim has settled down, temporarily to period of watchful waiting OH water temperature by the 275 com retitors who came here expecting to start the 15-mile grind yesterday. A cool offshore wind sent the tenn perature of Lake Ontario down so far that officials postponed the event until today, then set it back another 24 hours in hope of more favorable weather.
 The water temperature over the course yesterday ranged from 57 to G2 degrees, Elwood A. Hughes, sports director of the Canadian na- ;ional exhibition announced in mak- ing the second poStponement. The rules of the marathon require a 5S degree average on the day of the event. The fore cast for today is for southwest winds, which bring warm CT water. and probable storms. This combination gives the prospect of favorable conditions tomorrow, If the water remains too cold, the marathon probably will be post poned until next Tuesday.
 The trainers of the 275 swimmers say that the delay will not have any effect on the physical condition of the entrants.

 DoeS in Semi-FinalS Today

Brookline, Mass, Aug. % P- Big Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter today faced the greatest test in their quest for the national doubles tennis championship, a title they won two years ago.

 Lott and Doeg have romped through the early rounds of the ua- | tional play without great difficulty and their performances yesterday ! when they eliminated Frank Shields 1 of New York, and Donald Strachan ! Philadelphia, iE three straight sets, indicated they were ready to humble Iilden and Hunter again.
 The other semi-tinals match, both l of which were set fer late this ! afternoon. called for q court battle | between two young Texans, Berke- ] ley Bell and Lewis N.

Yards From Safety

Gordon, Neb.. April 5.-(FeWithin
200 yards Of shelter and safety. the
body Of Melvin Reeves, six. who was
lost in q snowstorm near here, three
weeks ago. was found last night.
While 400 men and boys searched
the countryside around tho Reeves
ranch, George Davis. employed at the
Nathan Hitler ranch. four miles away,
found the lads body lying In q cow
path not more than 200 yards from
the Hitler home. Mrs. Hitler Is an
aunt of the child.
The boy disappeared on March u
in 4 binding snowstorm. which arose
after he had gpne back. INTO his faith
er's pasture to hunt for q mitten he
had lost. Hundreds Of men, Including
100 Indians from the Pine Ridge res
ervation, had searched the whole
country side In vain for him.
Melting snow. which after the boys
disappearance was many feet deep
over this territory, particularly In
ravines and canyons. revealed his
body.
Because the nearest telephone was
miles away, it was late before Davis
could get word out of the recovery.
Due to this and the fact that the body
was only partly revealed by the drift
in which it was found, no attempt
was made to remove 1t last night. In
stead 4 watch was posted to keep off
possible visits by wolves and the body
will be removed today.
