1,000 TRAPSHOOTERS COMPETE IN GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP EVENT

RULES ON CHANNEL DEFINED Conditions Have Grown to Be Accepted—No Official Regulations. Bv United Press CAPE GRIS NEZ. France, Aug. 27.—While widespread international interest is being attracted by channel swimming, many questions are being asked about the rules and regulations'll this sport. Actually, there are no rules and regulations officially stipulated for channel swimming. From a sporting point of view, the test Is to swim from one shore to the other without any assistance in moving through the water. Sportsmen agree that the swimmer must Into the water one one side and walk out on the other. Assistance such as feeding In the Water, protection from the wind and rough water by motorboats and tugs, and advice from experts during the swim, are considered not only as legitimate, but as necessary for any successful channel swim. But the swimmer must not be touched and must not receive aid in propelling him forward.

Accepted Conditions These conditions have grown to be accepted through the countless channel attempts, but thero is no board of regulation. Usually the swimmer has reputable witnesses, such as disinterested newspaper men, to testify to tho legitimacy of the attempt. When C'apt. Matthew Webb swam the channel in 1875, and became the first man accredited with a successful performance, ho took tho water from tho end of a long pier on the English side and climbed aboard a boat on the French side as soon as he was able to touch bottom. No other person swam the channel for thirty-six years, when Bill Burgess succeeded. Bill started from the English coast in September, 1911, and came ashore near here. When his feet reached for land off the be&ch he was still a couple of hundred of yards from the water's edge. After over twenty hours In the water, his muscles would not support him in an upright position, and friends caught him when he fell into the water. He was assisted ashore, but his swim has always been recognized as a success and he was given due credit. 1923 Big Year Three successful swims occurred in 1923, and were done by Henry Sullivan and Charles Toth, both of Massachusetts and Enrico Tiraboschi v the Argentine. All have been recognized as legitimate. All three walked in the water on one side and walked out on the other. Tiraboschl wore a long suit, at which some crticism has been directed, but he kicked it off before he landed and it probably hindered more than aided him in his swim. Everybody knows about the latest successful effort by Gertrude Ederle. The American girl was the first woman to accomplish the feat and her time was the fastest ever made. The sporting feeling is that swimmors may have whatever protection they desire for their eyes and head, no long as no bouyant substance is used, but that the swimming costume must be the simplest possible, and such that can render no aid. There is heard an argument that a swimmer must walk fifty or a hundred yards up the beach upon completion of a swim, but this is no sporting rule and is unfair to the swimmer. The channel Is successfully crossed if the swimmer gets in on one side and out on the other without assistance. Channel Club Some years ago there existed in England the Channel Swimming Ctub, which attempted to lay down rules and regulations. But this club Is now out of existence, and the judgement of Its best, members is that the sporting spirit rather than restricted rules, must prevail in any wlm. The swimmer, must, however, j have proper witnesses. There have been some fake channel swims, but not one that has survived criticism. The most notorious was done by an English woman who succeeded In getting engagements
