NKW VOKK, June I. A most determ ned
effort mill be made to swim the English
channel this season. It la nearly thirty
tlv year alnre Captain Webb paddled
across, and though many attempta have
been made, not one man has succeeded.
Of these who have tried It the brut at
tempt stands to the credit of Jappy Wolffe,
who rame within a quarter of a mile ot
Uia shore and had to be pulled out of the
water, being so exhausted that he could
not make another stroke. Montague A.
Holbein, who came almost an clone ax
Wolff eight years ago. Is preparing for
another dash.
Others who have tried are Ted Heaton,
of Liverpool, and Dargoliouh Vel Milltche
vltch, who won the long distance cham
pionship of Kervla. tie is a powerful man
ot 28 years of age. In the way of prepara
tion h swims for one hour every day In
Ui Danube, Holbein has started to take
long spina, but Wolffe has besun In real
earnest. Me swims over a two-mile streich
Brighton West pier despite the fact
! thai the water registers aa low as 48 do-1
g-reea,
Starts Jon SO.
la ail Wolff haa mapped out seven dif
ferent dates which h intends tu try. His
first assault will be on June 30, when at
lb break of day h will start from the
'.French shore and he expects to reach the
Koglish aid hy sunset. The other dates
e ar July 14 and 30, August 13 and 28
and September 12 and 26. These are the
data, with suitable tides, though the opin
ion la that June Is a trifle early for audi
a long session in th water, and it notable
lb first will be the earliest of any of the
attempta In th channel. There is also a
report that Miss Lily Smith, a woman pro
fessional, will try, and rumors are abroad
tram Burgees and Wledeman of Dover.
For some time past the experts on this
aid at th water have picked out I B.
Goodwin of th New York Athletic club
aa th man most likely to duplicate Webb's
feat. H haa shown that he has co equal
her at long distance work and he could
swim rings around Wolffe, Holbein or even
Webb, wer he her today. As to Good
win's stamina there need be no doubt, and
his friends point to his win In the race
from th Battery to Coney Island last sum
mer, when ha covered the thirteen and a
half mile In something like four and a
halt hours. He wasted nearly an hour of
this waiting for a ahlf t of tide which would
help him through the Buttermilk channel
and had finally to plow Into the swirls
there when th favoring current did not
coma.
Uooewla's Work.
By that Urn the other competitors had
almost drawn level with Goodwin, but when
h got Into his stroke he drew away again
and won as he liked. It was noteworthy
that theu,FoU
that on that occasion Goodwin swam the
first mil well under twenty-seven minutes,
with by no means a favorable tide, and
that from start to finish he did not take
a bit or drink of any kind in th way of
refreshment. Goodwin thinks himself that
he would succeed In swimming the channel
and has said he may cross and try It this
year, but he Is away short in weight.
He thinks that a man to engage in such
a long swim should have plenty of weight
and all the reserve power possible to off
set th chilly water and withstand the
long plunge.' In th height of summer the
Knglish channel water la usually about 65
degrees temperature, while in America the
water Is about 75 degrees. Goodwin has an
opinion that he would cross from Calais
to Dover in twelve hours, or In one tide.
Ha says next winter he will collect a lot
of fat and will take a crack at the chan

STUDENT RULES FOR BASE BALL
Koat Doe IV ot Pern it College Mrs to
I Play National Game.
NEW YORK.' June 1. Th pernicious
approach of th summer base ball season
Is being heralded In the land by the var
loua aotlona and rules laid down by under
graduate student councils and college con
ferencea, Summer ball la legislated against
In this section. Summer ball Is approved
and permitted In other institutions. Sum
coUetres, Ilka Penn. State, permit certain
features of th subject and prohibit others
Summer ball is winked at, sneered at and
surrendered to.
Recently the Association of New Eng
land colleges for conference on athletics
passed a resolution declaring that a purely
amateur basis should be accepted In all
college athletics and that "playing on
suromor base ball teams," as th term Is
ordinarily understood, is hostile to such a
standard. Th ' Williams Record" com
tnenta editorially on the action In part as
follows:
"It la of Interest to notice that the Asso
elation Of New Knirland Colleges fnr t'nn,

not be laid downrowlna- to the dlfferei,

colleges to work as rapidly as possible to
eliminate summer base ball and secure a
purely amateur rule.
Reference to the communication columns
of th Record during the year of 1908 will
show that the sentiment ot th college
body and of a good part of the faculty
was decidedly In favor of th playing of
summer baa hall by members of the var
sity team. Whether the undergraduate

Sermon to Base
Ball Fans By a
Methodist Divine
Dr. Fletcher III. Sisson of Nebraska
City Says Game of Base Ball
is Typical of Life.
Before the largest crowd assembled In
the First Methodist church in Nebraska
City for years, Dr. Fletcher M. Stsson, the
pastor, preached a sermon to the baa
ball team and fans. The large auditorium
f .the church was crowded long before
the hour for service arrived and It waa
necessary to put in extra seats In the rear,
but soon these were filled and the spacious
balcony was thrown open to the eager
public, says the Nebraska City Press.
The sidewalks had been painted announ
cing the services and all day it waa the
leading topic of conversation on the streets.
Dr. Sisson haa built up a great reputation
during the two years that he has been
associated with the First Methodist church
In this city, a reputation as an orator and
preacher of wonderful fore and ability.
The doctor took for his text the words
found in I Cor. 9:24 "So run that ye may
obtain." Dr. Sisson stated that all through
history every nation had Its national sport.
Base ball. Is ours. Dr. Sisson characterised
the game as the cleanest, most manly, open
sport In existence. The first reason for the
popularity of the game Is because It pro
moted democracy; all classes, ' the rich
and the poor, the man and the boy, the
society belle and the washer woman, all
meet on a common plane ot equality.
Scores are the Important thing In base ball,
as they are In life. In fact the game of base
ball la typical of life. The captain la an
Important element In base ball; It Is he
that must whip th team Into line and
teach them systematic team play, it Is he
that must plan and study In order that
the team may be successful and obtain
the scores that win. It Is thus with life.
We must recognize the leaders In all our
enterprises and play the gam all the time
following the leader's direction If we ex
pect to score at the plate In the end. Th
other positions came In for consideration
at the hands of the doctor, but ha stated
the umpire was the most Important position
of all. It was he who decided all things,
ha who had control of all the affairs of
the game. H offered Christ as the umpire
In llf and th Bible as th rule book,
stating that the pennant to be won at the
close ot the season was Immortality of
the soul. There were many fine analogies
running all through the sermon.
The address made a profound Impression
upon th large audience who listened In
tently to It, and the comment on the street
yesterday waa "That was a great sermon."
Many people attended who had not been
Inside of a church for years. One thing
especially noticeable was the fact that Nibs
cigar store and lunch room closed Its doors
and hung out th sign "Gone to Church."
The entire base ball team atended en masse
and one remarkable thing was that all th
base ball boys sing, and they knew the
hymns without looking In the song books,
which Bpeaks well for their early training
to say the least.
Nebraska City Is especially fortunate In
possessing a minister who has such an In
fluence as Dr. Sisson. ' I

MIDDIES MAY RACE AT
THE HUDSON THIS YEAR
this Is the Hlalrmrnt tilvea Out,
I nleaa There Is a Change
, In Policy.
ANNAPOLIS, June 4 Unless there Is a
change In the present policy of the Navy
department, no crew of midshipmen will
be seen on the Hudson in the Intercollegi
ate riRetta for soma years to come. All
hope of the sending an eight to Pougli
kcipsla during the time that Captain
llowyer, U. S. N., Is superintendent of the
academy has been abandoned, although
at this time a year ago the rowing au
thorities at Annapolis felt more or leas
confident that least one navy eight would
row In the coming regetta.
Captain Bowyer Is not opposed to row
ing or to the midshipmen entering In as
many Intercollegiate regettaa as may b
practicable. On the contrary h Is a
warm advocate ot the sport and haa en
couraged It on every ship which he lias
commanded. The only reason why he de
clines to recommend to the Navy depart
ment that the midshipmen be allowed to
send a crew to Poughkeepale Is because
doing so would seriously Interfere with
their work. If the Intercollegiate regatta
took place before June the superintendent
would gladly recommend that the navy be
represented.
The situation, aa Captain Bowyer ex
plained It, Is that If the middles were al
lowed to row on the Hudson It would
mean the loss of at least three weeks or
a month of their annual cruise too serious
a loss of practical Instruction to be
countenanced.
"I waa surprised to see how little time
th midshipmen had actually been at sea
during the previous cruise," said Captain
Bowyer, "when I looked into that question
after taking charge here. Now, I believe
that practically all the time of the cruise
should be spent at sea and not In the
harbors of the different ports along the
Rtlantlo coast. I believe this Is necessary

to the proper and thorough training of
the midshipmen In their future dutlo.
"Consequently I planned a crul.'e nhroad
for this summer one that would carry
out my ldon-and submitted It to the Navy
department."
The department haa approved Captain
Howyer's plsn, and the result Is that the
practice squadron thN summer will touch
European ports and be actually at sea
lot ger thnn any other for some years past.
Consequently, If a nnvy crew was sent
to Poughkcepsle, the members of It would
have to Join the squadron nt some port.
In Europe after the race, staying at the
I academy or Potishkeepsi during the In
tervening time.
"I am a believer in rowing," continued
Captain Rowycr! "and If it did hot inter
fere with their duties I would be glnd to
see the midshipmen row In the intercol
legiate regatta. It Is a great sport, and
especially suitable for young naval of
