All Details Arranged For Big Lake Swim Canadian National Exhibtion Has Schedules for the Big | Event Complete Dowr| to , Last Item -- Prize List Of fers Chances to Others That Finish -- Woman Might "Take Big Prize "Toronto, Ont, Aug. 6.--About 200 swimmers, among them the world's greatest, will slowly move forward at nine o'clock on the morn- ing of Wednesday August 31, to plunge into the waters of Lake On- tario in the greatest competitive swim the world has ever known, About midnight, or perhaps soon- er, weather conditions being favor- able, thy winner should emerge from the water after covering 21 miles, to be crowned monarch of all, with the golden hait of $30,000 safely in his grasp; if the winner he a wo- man, of $35,000, The remainder of the total prize money of $60,000--the great sum which llke a magnet has drawn swimmers from the ends of the earth--will be divided up between half a dozen men and half a dozen women, providing that many finish, In the field of scintillating swim- ming stars one stocky figure will be magnetic as the multitude, wait- ing tensely for the starting gun, cagerly watches the straggling line of starters, It will be that of George Young, the native son, winner of 'the $25,000 Catalina Channel swim because he was the only one to finish that gruelling test; on whose #ccount the present huge event has been staged, Eight months will haye elapsed since George's first great win; In that time he has hecome a world figure in swimming; he has travel- Ted mneh and he has learned much, An ohvious question is--*"Is George Young as good as when he won the Catalina Channel swim---can he beat the fierce opposition that faces him now?" The answer remains to he proven, but it is a fact that Young should be In perfect condition when he takes his place among the othet starters on Aug 81.--Weeks ago be returned to Toronto and then, with Henry O'Bryne, his trainer, and a few others, went to Pieton, further east along the shore of Lake Ontario, and there he has heen train- 'ing diligently, High-Class Entrants The race, however, is no."ecinch"' for the redoubtable George. Ernest Vierkotter, of Berlin, Germany, is considered probably Young's chief opponent. Vierkotter is a veteran professional with an imposing ree- ord; he has mor, experience than Young and with him swimming is on art. He carries his own chef #8 well as trainer and manager; when he swims, it will be to the music of a respectable sized orches- tra. Vierkotter is the dominant figure SIMCOE ST.

Michel of course holds the record for the English channel. The Women And it it is at all possibly for a woman champion to beat a male champion in swimming, it should he accomplished in the Lake On- tario marathon. When the start is made, probably only one great wo- man swimmer will be missing-- Gertrud, Ederle. ¢ Practically every other female who has achleved prominence in long-distance swimming will be com- peting, Cilarabelle Barrett and Mrs, Lottie Moore Schoemmel--she of grease-sult fame, are New York's entrants, Jane Sion, mentioned WILLIAMS PIAND. TEAM REVENGED Defeat Whitby 14-4 in Splen- Town Dick Branton's Williams Plano softballers took revenge out of Whitby last night when they invad- ed the County Town and administer- ed a 14 to 4 defeat to the team which defeated them on their own back yard here on Thursday. The Plane men were on top all the way. Although he had sustained the de- feat on Thursday, Hurst was again sent to the mound for Willlams and he showed last night that when at his best, he is worthy match for any team. The game was the second for the championship of A" section of the South Ontario Softball League land Willlams' victory makes a third contest necessary to declare a win- ner. Threa home runs were accounted for by Williams, with two going to Timmins and one to Naylor, The firat came In the second when Tim- mins went to the circuit with nohody above; Mrs, Della Sullivan Herbert, of Holyoke, Mass; Mrs, Dorothy, Hepworth, registered from Mont- real and Lee Fourrier of Long Beach, Cal, are others in the ga- laxy of world stars that will com- pete, Incidentally, Mrs. Schoemmel will wear a bathing suit this time, at least, at the start, No swimmer will be allowed to start sans suit; although he or she may have as much grease as their taste or ex- perience dictate, Th, more bxperi- onced swimmers will use grease, for its ald In preventing "water- logging' and keeping the cold out, Probably also bathing suits will be discarded by quite a numer when the race is really under way, The Course What do they have to do, They | will have to cover 21 miles in water | which will probably be of chilli; | coldness, There are alleviating fac- | tors though, The treacherous cur- rents and cross-shop of the English | channel will be missing; there will | he no kelp-beds such as threatened George Young in the Catalina chan- nel. The course will be a broad | passage between rows of buoys top- ped with flags, | All the winner has to do is get | around faster than anyhody else, | |To do that he--or she--will need' to have developed high resistance | | to cold; to have cultivated a steady | stroke wich can be kept up hour | |after hour Bnd above all to have built up bodily endurance, The water being fresh there will he less buoyancy than a swimmer | experiences in the ocean. But the | stinging salt of the ocean will be | missing and taking it all round, | considering that the course js an obvious one with no roundabout ways, a record the distance should be set up. Great Public Spectacle It will be a great public spectacle | --the greatest of its kind the world has ever seen. Always, although at times binoculars may be needed, the swimmers will be in sight of the thousands on shore. The one- mile side of the triangle is between shore and the break waters; the other two sides stretch three miles out to the official yacht, where the turn is made. for TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY WANTED -- YOUNG MAN FOR clerical position with knowledge of shorthand amd typewriting.

Pickering in general is rather sor- ry for one incident. The hundreds assembled, absorbed in the effort to get even a fugitive glimpse of the prince, forgot to cheer. They con- sole themselves in the hope that their silence allowed him a few more moments of much needed rest. How the news travelled through- out the district of the royal train's presence is something of a mystery. However, many came from all direc- tions. One little farm girl through Oshawa at 2.36 this moran- ing, did not appear until 3.15 a. m. The train was run on the slowest time consistent with safety in onder to give the princes a thorough rest before . their trying day in Toromte. The huge new CNR. engine which pulled the train was preced- ed by a pilot engine, one block ahead, which was charged with showing a clear way for the follow- ing special.
