SWIMMING
CHARLTON’S CONDITION LONDON. June 29 The Australian Press Association's Paris correspondent says that Charlton in the afternoon in an eight hundred metres swim was compelled to leave the water at five hundred metres, struggling for breath, although making good times. Similar trouble during the past week necessitated his swimming shorter distances than he intended on entering the water. Charlton says the breathing defect is unaccountable, as he is not suffering from a eold, bronchial or nasal troubles. Although he did not feel tired, he was unable to continue the swim, and on leaving the water was breathing heavily. He has decided that ho will not give an exhibition to-night, but instead will undergo Turkish bath treatment to reduce hil ■weight. The trouble is not regarded seriously, as it is hoped it is nothing more than indigestion, resulting from the French food, which is unsuitable to athletes.
