To Enter Olympiad

in 1024
Madrid. Oct. ?Spaniards inter
ested in tlie athletic standing of their
country are turning their eyes to
ward Paris and the Olympiad of
_1_924. and considering what should
be done to secure the b? st possible
representation.
A member of the Span Mi Olympic
games committee said recently lie I
thought Spain's chano s \v?r?- good
in nine of the 1 ?? principal brandies I
of sport; for the others l?e had litth
liope.
The sports in which Spain believes !
she baa chances of fiiccehs are lawn I
tennis, horse riding, polo, football,
golf, hockey, yachting, fencing and
rowing. Those in which she admits
she Is poor ar?- boxing, wrestling,
swimming, cycling, runnitig and oth
er field sport**, winter sports and
Rugby football.
Gabriel Maria de I.nfitte. president |
of the Royal Athletic Federation of
Spain, spoke recently with King Al
fonso about the games. The king
was much interested and said: "The
government must be asked for sup- |
port, but we must not rely solely on
this aid. We must do what is being |
done in England and the United
States and open a national subscrip
tion in which sporting clubs, lovers
of athletics and the wealthy class
should Join freely. I shall be one
of the first to subscribe and will also
encourage othera-lQ- do _jbcu-?Spain .
should be represented""' properly In
these games. The Spanish competi
tors must be trained thoroughly,
and for this purpose funds are nec
essary. We must take practical
means to find the, money, and I think
we shall be auie to do so."
ROMAN SWIM.Ml''It CLAIMS
lAiSii DISTANCE ItKCOllD
Rome, Oct. 3.?The record for
long distance swimming is claimed
by the Roman swimmer Armando
Sannibale. one of the water fans of
the Tiber. Sannibale swam a dis
tance of 100 kilometers recently, and
contends that such a feat constitutes
a record. The distance is roughly tiO
miles, and ran on the Tiber from
Rome to the sea. The-time was 1T>
hours.
Hia accomplishment seems phe
nomenal. but It should be remem
bered that the Tiber Is a very swift
ly flowing river, the current moving
at the rate of two or three miles an
hour.
