Endurance Test: Toronto 15-Mile Swim Ends With Quites
A purse of 35000 drew 250 swimmers to Lake Ontario for the Wrigley 15 mile swim marathon. Harsh 52 degree water forced many to quit. Georges Michel, the French baker, led early but was pulled from the lake at 10:17 p.m. after covering 12.5 miles. Ernest Vierkotter had won last year and also withdrew later. Norman Ross and Louis Mathias among others faced bouts of fatigue as the field dwindled to four before Michel stopped solo endurance. Officials remained unsure on prize awards as no one completed the full 15 miles.
