SUAREZ CIGAR CO
ITALY KEENLY
PREPARING FOR THE
NEXT OLYMPIAD
Borne, Dec. 1.—(By Mail)—The
advent of the Fascist! government to
power will have favorable influence
upon the development of aport and
athletics in Italy. Premier Mussolini'
cabinet is composed mostly of young
men between the ages of thirty and
forty, the majority of whom at
time or another have taken active
part is some branches of athletics and
have retained a deep interest in
■ports. Mussolini himself is
pert fencer and his under secretary
of state, Finzi, besides being one of
Italy's most renowned aviators
at one time one of the best five thous
and metres runner In the peninsula.
The first effects of the assumption
of leadership of the government by
Mussolini, in the field of sports, al-
ready have been seen in the promise
made by the Premier that appropria
tions of funds to defray the expenses
of the Italian Olympic team to Paris
in 1924, would he forthcoming. The
Olympic preparation in Italy, which
had been stagnant throughout the
summer owing to lack of funos and
consequent lukewarm enthusiasm,
has taken on a new lease of life, and
followers of athletics in Italy
joicing. The preparation i
Italian Olympic team will be dfrected
especially toward the five and ten
thousand meter races, and the
thon. Although sprints will not be
neglected, the Italian Olympic Com
mittee feels that they have better
material for the distanee events.
Commencing Sunday November 26th,
when a full distance marathon was
it Milan, there will be five
thousand and ten thousand metre*
In various cities of Italy,' Milan,
Turin, Genoa, Naples or Borne, about
twice a month. It is the intention of
the committee to have four full
Olympic distance marathons
tween now and the departure of the
Italian team for Paris In 1924. The
last one will take place about January
1924.
Signor Tonettf, Vice President of
the committee, is sanguine that Italy
; first class chance of carrying
off the blue ribbon of the Olympic
Games. In Arri Valerio, of Turin,
and Hugo Fregorio of Milan, Italy
claims to have discovered worthy
successors to Norando Pletrl, whose
dramatic failure in the marathon at
London, and subsequent races in
America against Tom Longboat,
Johny Hayea and Alfred Schrubb, are
well remembered In sporting circles.
Both Valerio and Fregorio can run
all’dny. Wh:f. they lack just now is
final speed for the last two or three
miles. However, they have both
negotiated the distance well under
r o hours nnd fifty minutes.
In the five thousand metres Italy
will present Ernesto Ambfoiinl, of
Milan, and Primo Brega of Borne.
Ambroaini ran a good second to
Paovo Nurmi at Paris some time ago,
forcing the record breaking Finn to
the limit in order to win by ten yeards
in 16 minutes and 1 second. Since
then Ambrosini has ran the five
thousand under fifteen minutes, 14
minutes and 58 2-5 second, to be
Tnvesl, of Milan, and Florentino,
of Livoumo arc the best men for the
thousand. Florentino, who was
champion of Italy in 1920 but
off form iast season, is stepping in
great shape just now, but he will
up during the winter. He recently
turned in 32 minutes 2-15 seconds.
The sprints, shot put, Jnvelin and
discus throwing are giving the
mittee much concern,' and they do
look forward to earning any
points in these events, unlesi
phenomeom should come to light be
tween now nnd 1924. The best
sprinter Itnly can boast just
Zucca, of Turin. His timo for the
hundred metres is 10 4-5 seconds.
In the aquatic events Italy expe-ts
to make a good showing. The Ger-'n
'quartet, aa Bagicalupo, Costa Mali'o,
Sachner and Panero are known, will
give a good account of themselves in
the tank. The first three have won
the "swim across Paris," Bfalito de
feating BUlington, of England, in
record time this yenr. Panero is a
ere youth but coming strong.
Amateur boxing, especially in tho
featherweight and lightweight classes
may also provu point winners for
Italy, according to members of tho
Olympic committee. They claim to
have a couple of future Johnny
Dundees under cover in Calabria and
Sicily, and they will spring them upon
the unsuspecting feathers and light
weights from other countries.
ras pointed out to the corre
spondent that although politicians in
Italy are greatly divided on some of
the issues of the day, there is one
point upon which unanimity has been
reached: sports.
