He was advised that Vierkotter had given up the race. Michel's arms sagged wearily and his stroke lost its cadence. At 10:17 p. m. hq was pulled from the water, be--and apparently suffering He had completed twelve and onehalf miles. Today officials were uncertain what was to be done about the purse. They had announced that no prizes would be paid unless the actual fifteen miles had been swum. The race probably was the greatest swimming endurance test ever attempted in North America. There was a field of 250 on hand but reports that the water was about 62 degrees lowered this field until at the start there were only 199 to answer the gun. Among that crowd was one girl, Olive Gatterdam of Seattle, Wash. Through the day the race turned into an elimination contest. Despite the sun the water continued frigid and one by one the contestants signaled tc their accompanying boats that they had enough. Miss Gatterdam lasted one hour. Young Into Lead

George Young, the Canadian boy who won the Catalina marathon, was one of th*. favored and was (vatched closely as he kept well up in the early stages of the race. About 1 p. m. he challenged Norman Ross and won the duel. Ross quit. Then Vierkotter, the one-eyed German, challenged Young. Vierkotter won. At 2 p. m. Young signaled he had enough of the bitter race. After dusk last night there were four contestants,, left, Michel, Vierkotter, Roland Tegtmeier and Louis I. Mathias. Tegtmeier, a Seattle swimmer, was forced to withdraw at 6:30 p. m. Vierkottter was well in the lead, but shortly before 7 o’clock his handlers had to pull him from the water.

He had passed the mark where Vierkotter had been forced to withdraw and had remained in the water longer than all others and had completed more laps.
