THAT CHANNEL SWIM
WAS IT ACCOMPLISHED? CZECHO SLOVAKIAN’S CLAIM Received June 14, 7 p.m. (A. & N.Z.) PRAGUE, June 13. Mystery still surrounds Spaeek’s reported Channel swim. He stated emphatically to-day that he certainly established a record, despite the attempt to discredit him. He repeats the declaration that the Mayor of Dover was present when he landed, and is preparing an affidavit to that effect, but if his story is not accepted he will repeat the swim next week.
