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.
