Men like Otto Wable, the Xew York Athletic club expert on swimming said it was impossible, and yet it was true.

Twice did the little Dorchester girl attempt the swim. Phe failed the first time through having a poor pilot. On her second attempt, under the able guidance of De Coete, she made the swim in six hours and fifteen minutes, this being a record, as she was tho first to make the awim. At that 'time Miss Pitonof waa L5 years old. Before her men like aptain Ban Richards, who recently succeeded iu breaking her record, had failed in four attempts, although he is a most powerful swimmer.

Mf.SS PITONOF did not stop at her achieve Diept. She came to New York to show the skeptic CSothnm experts rvliat she could do, On a rather chilly day. September 10. 1010, she started out Rfter an agonizing delay to make the swim from Twenty-third Btreel pier, Manhnttan. to Coney Island, a distance of twenty one mil's.

Ten newspaper men were invited to witness the eont by Meyer Bentham, who loaned his yacht for the purpose. was one of the guest? and one bf the skeptics. To repeat the storv of that brave attempt is futile. Witb Misa Pitonof SWam lara Bouton. fl Xew York girl.

Both reached Norton 'a Point, the most, treach eroufl point at Sea Gate, when a strong tide was running against them. Mrs. Boiitin gave up after battling half ao hour against the tide. Miit Pitonof tried for two hours get around, hut was finally washed ashore, beaten by the waves bui untamedl She wept bitterlj at not being able to get around, and we marveled at her at rengtn. Cnatead of being in an eriiauated condition she was strong enough to walk from the Point to ihe Atlantio facbf club to board the hoar for the yacht.

It was a great exhibition and all doubt as to her previous per foxmauce was swept away. MS8 Pitonof refused to let Norton's Point get thr bell Of her, however, and on August IS she aceomplisbed a feat which HO man has ever been i 'edited with. On that date she swam from Twenty- And the Modernized Answer Might Be: "Yess My Darling Daughter, but Don't You Let the Men Defeat You," So the Daring Girls Smash All Records. sixth street to Steeplechase Park pier. Coney Island, a distance of twenty-two miles, in 8 hours and 9 minutes To be more exact, she swam actually twenty-four miles, as she was compelled to make wide detours to escape dangerous points.

The ovation she received at the end of the swim would have done credit a king Men and women trampled over each other in the mad rush to get a glimpse of the remarkable girl, and she certainly deserved the reception. Her father. Ely Pitonof, declares that he will take the girl ahroad next year that she will have a chance to awim the English channel. "I have great confidence in he said to me at the culmination of the big Uanhattan to- one I land swim. ''I am sure thai she will swim the channel." ROPE Pitonof is not the only girl who has made the Boston Lighr swim.

The latest candidate for a place iu the Hall of Fame in aquatics is Alsie Aykroyd, also of Boston. (They ecrtainly do turn out the swimmers at the Hub.) In company with Alois An-derle, the Australian long-distance champion, she 6tarted on the big swim and finished it alone. Anderle, who is a remarkable swimmer, was seized with eramps and had to give up. Miss Aykroyd showed remarkable stamina in finishing the distance alone. She was ill advised, it seems, and made reraarkaable time up to a point known as the Cabbage Patch and then tired fast.

Her time was 7 hours and 12 minutes, or 1 hour and 34 minutes behind the figures made two years ago by Rose Pitouof in her swim to Boston Light. Miss Aykroyd 's first big swim was in when, at the age of 14, she swam from Governor Island to Wood Island, a distance of two miles, in fifty-five minutes in th same year, on August 31. she won the one-mile New England women's championship title Shs was the first female swimmer ever to make the Hull Gut swim at Boston, doing this May 18, 1009 The final feat in preparation for the Boston Light -t''V" WW 4 Y.irtifefrififtfrT Ml T7S-T---t." 1 1 Annette Keller raonn event was the trial from Revere Beach to Boss Point, a swim which she made previously, 10, 19J0. She is only one of many other Boston girls who are exports who bid fair later to eclipse all records in endurance swims made by men. THE PACIETC COAST is developing a young girl swimmer who bids fair to make a name for herself If she continues to develop in the same way as at the present time fi.s Hazel B.

Langenow swam across the Golden Cafe 1 hour and 28 minutes, remarkably f.it lime. She is the only woman who ever made the distance. There ar however, a good many first class woman swimmers on the Pacific coast, and it would not be surprising to find them doing feat.f along the same lines as those, undertaken the eastern women. The way has been SbOwn them hy the San Ernncisco girl, and ther will soon be out after laurels themselves. At St.

Louis 'hey boast of the feat of Mrs. Lena Brandenburg, a woman of fiO. who swam from Eads Bridge to Altenhcim. a d'stance of five miles, through the muddy waters of the Mississippi just to prove that she was uot "an old woman." That this was a remark able exhibition of stamina and endurance cannot be denied Swimming five mile is no joke, and one mus: have I good constitution to go through in shape. Witness then the feat of Mrs.

ptandeobursi and torevermore hold your peace concerning the relative strength of both sexes. EVERYBODY hns heard of the performs nees of Annette Kellerman. the AuftraSblB who made such oig hit in America. She is now in vaudeville, and her graceful pavements in the water have earned her a fortune and furnished diversion for thousands of beaterejoors. It she who tried 'o swim the Fngbsh Channel, bhe is a physical marvel, heing huilt along graceful lines that have few equals.

Besides her accomplish tnents iu the way of parlous swimming strokes sho jSSF I i i i Rose Pitonof is a graceful diver, and it is a treat to watch her perform. Another foreigner who has attracted a great deal of attention is Mme Claire Guttenstein, who has been victorious in many races with men across the Seine at Pans Sho has won more than a hundred trophies since she started competition, and still defies the Parisian experts to defeat her in match races. In Germany, Norway. Sweden and England, the women learn to swim young, and one finds more swim mers than the average among the woman of foreign-countries We are gradually being educated up to the possibilities of the sport, and the women are not afraid of the water as much as they were before SOCIETY boasts of one of the best watermaids in th3 country in Miss Eleonora Sears, the all-aroond woman athlete. While she has never attempted to get in the public eyp, through her prowess she has made long swims which taxed the endurance of her mate companions, purely for sport In Srew York the swimming craze has struck the young women, and it hns been the rage for the past twfl years.

Tho Due sisters Ethel, Vers and Beatrice were very much in tho public eye last summer through their performances. They swam the Narrows, Hell Gate, and com petcd ju races with varied success They made sua a record that they were snapped up in vaudeville and' had a good season. Augusta Gallup and Clara Hurst got into the limelight toward the fag end of last soason by swimming to Coney Island from the Brooklyn Bridge. Fifteen women started in the race, and of this number thirteen; dropped out and rbe above-mentioned pair finished. It was grand worh and they deserved all the credit they; got for their work.

At Bath Beach thev have Elaine Gnlding, claimant of the world's short distance swimming title. She has, eompeted against men time and agaitr and come off victorious. Her standing LI assured, and she is known far and; wide for her ability in the water Elsio another; Bath Beach girl, has also gamed fame as a short distance swimmer. Among others who have distinguished themselves are Adeline Trapp. a Brooklyn school teacher, winner of the Rockawav Beach-Coney Island swim, and who( swam Hell Gate; Lillian Howard, also of Brooklyn, and Evelyn Howell of Flushing.

THE NATI'RAL question now presents itself, why do women in many cases swim better than men? To this I wili give Dr. Sargent's explanation The learned Harvard director says their conforms tion is well adapted to the exercise. There is more adipose tissiu- under the skin, and this protects the bodv from cold. Nature intended man as an amphibian He is neve n0 happy as when in the water on a warm day, as clos observation will show. The natural qualifies tiocs of a woman with the natural love for the cleanest i i here is no doubt that it is clean) of all sports makes her therefore superior to the male in this line of sth lot io endeavor All that woman needs to establish a supremacv in the water is to swim the English Chan OeJ, ana Rose Pitonof says she'll do it next year.
