"Untered as Becoud Class Matter March 1. 1911, at the Post Office at Highiand Pask, Hinoio ta0d% POUR WILLIAM TUNIS VAN KIRK SWIMMING BAKERS Why do bakers like to swim? You had better ask Ernst Vierkoetter and George Michel about this, for they are the boys who left the big ovens of Germany and France to conquer the English Channel and astonish the good people who had been eating their Kaffee Kuchen and Petit Fours, If these same customers could later have looked atross the Atlanâ€" tic to the Toronto waterfront, on the cold waters of Lake Ontario, they would have seen their two bak: ers lined up on the dock with a small army of swimmers, waiting for the gun that would start them on their 21 mile swim for $50,000 in prize money. it narrowed down into a duel beâ€" tween Vierkoetter and Michel. Mile after mile the boy from the Rhine It was the end of summer in 1927, and as friends of the various conâ€" testants applied grease to the bodâ€" ies of the swimmers, some of the more delicate ones shivered even then. The water churned and foamed as arms and legs beat fast and rhythâ€" mically, then slowed down to a steadier pace in that long struggle of endurance. As the swimmers beâ€" gan to traverse the triangular course which was to be covered three times before the finish, they began to string out. Even this early in the wace class began to show. Then, without warning, Young collapsed, was quickly rescued by his followers and taken into their boat. With Young out of the race, "Ach! Is kalt!" exclaimed Ernest as he plunged into the water. And George remarked, "Oui, tres froid!" George Young, winner of the Caâ€" talina Island swim championship, and the favorite in today‘s race, went to the front almost at once, but he was unable to put much disâ€" tance between himself and the bakâ€" ers. As he neared the 4% mile mark, Ernst and George began to close up on him. He was setting a good pace, but the powerful Gerâ€" man was getting closer and closer, and not far behind him was the Frenchman. R A R E Next Week: "Becond Fiddia." "Robin Hood." ‘‘Waikiki Wedding."
