Gertrude Ederle first tried the swim
while she was still an amateur and
member of the Women's Swimming
Association, which has contributed more
winners to the American Olympic teams
than any other single organization. She
first made sure of herself by swimming
from the Battery to Sandy Hook.
This was done without any ostenta-
ton or blare of trumpets. With only
a single attendant launch containing
some Of the officials of the Women's
Swimming Association and her trainer,
I. de B. Handley Miss Ederle dove from
the Battery wharf and struck out for
Sandy Hook. There had been some err
ror in the computation of the tides and
she was forced to fight some bad water,
but she made the distance without be-
coming exhausted. The association de-
cided that she was ready to try the
rougher and colder waters Of the Eng
hsh Channel.

Dining with the Ederle encourage that
night at the little Hotel of the Light
house at Cape Gris-Nez, somehow be-
came convinced that Gertrude Ederle
not only would swim the Channel, but
that she would break the records Of all
the men who preceded her. She seemed
to have the physique for 1t. Under that
jersey that she wore was q pair Of
shoulders that seemed as strong and as
pliably muscular as the shoulders of
Jack Dempsey. In fact, she seemed
more like a big, robust boy than q girl,
and radiantly healthy.
She had the soul for It. The previous
buffeting by the chilly waters and the
bafflement had not broken her spirit or
even bent it.
"Gott, If Turdy can do this thing,
how I will celebrate when we get to
Munich" said Pop Ederle, who runs a
butcher shop in Manhattan, and nat
urally advocates an almost entirely
meat diet for athletes in training for
stern tests.

world will celebrate, too"
Gertrude Ederle Is a. member of no
feminist organization, but she
seemed to sense that her victory over
the Channel would be hailed as a tri-
umph by those who are militant for
the cause"
And this time Miss Ederle, covered
with coat Of axle grease, once more
plunged gayly into the Channel. The
gray waters churned angrily again. The
chill swept down from the North Sea.
but this time the undaunted bobbed-
haired Lorelei from the Hudson could
not be beaten back.
She landed under the white cliffs of
England, where British immigration
official met her on the beach and de-
manded her passport. She had no pass
port and very little Of anything else.
