ATHLETES OF ITALY TRAIN FOR OLYMPICS | By the Assoclated Press. faly will be a prominent fac- tor to be reckoned with in ‘the 1924 Olympics at Paris if the prepa- rations of the Italian Olympic com- mittee are an indication. Italy, since the war, has taken an enormous brace in athletics, and in many branches of sport is developing ma- terial certain to compete strongly against the older sport nations. Each city and village has its own sports organization, and every vacant Jot is being commandeered by aspir- | ing athletes for their incipient train- ing. Foot ball is especially popular. In the fleld and track events a large number of strong athletes have come to the front. Zucca does the 100- meter run fn 104-5. Glorgio can make the 200 meters in 22 4-5. Comi- notto is Ttaly's 800-meter man, doing the distance in 1 minute 54 seconds. The marathon is done by Speroni and Benedetti. Frigerio, winner of both walking features in the last Olympics, is now Italy’s sporting hero, havin, recently beaten the Olympic record: The best pentathlon man is Contoli. Swimming will have strong Italian representation. Many of the Itallan water men already have established records in Europe. Among the fore- most are Baclcalupo, Sachner, Massa, Costa Mallto and Sebastiani. For the welghts, Bottini, Antwerp winner in the heavyweight class, will again rep- resent Italy. A strong team also will put up a battle in tenuis. It is prob- able that Colombo, present Italian champion; Count Bonacossa, Sabba- dini and’ Serventi will compose the team. The army and navy also are inter- ested In several events and will probably send rifle and fencing teams, while in boxing there is a wide va- riety of amateur material available for the 1924 Paris classic. Lanzi is a good flywelght possibility, Petrarca shapes up for the bantamweight, Lecis for the featherweight, Caven- aghi for the lightweight, Ravizaa for the welterweight, Colaccio for the middleweight, while there are one or two possibilities for the heavyweight ciass. = STADIUM FOR INDIANS.

The first thing the player should ®et right ix the proper place to hold thix club. There ix no fixed place and, contrary to the bellef of wome players, the ball will not o far in proportion to th tance up the shaft, toward its up- per end. the club ix held: that is, ‘Ketting your hands away out to the end of the shaft will mot in itwelf yield the longest driv though many playery so grasp club.

ALONSO BEATS TILDEN FOR ILLINOIS NET TITLE C 6—3, 6—1, in the final of the men's HICAGO, July 9—Illinois' highest tennis honors were won yes- terday by a racket star from the old world, when Manuel Alonso of Spain defeated William T. Tilden of Philadelphia, 8—6, 11—13, singles at Skokie Country Club. Plnying probably the best game of his career, Alonso battled with the national champion through two sets before he could break down his defense. The Spaniard was spectacular at times, his placements and unfailing ability to cover the court finally conquering the national titleholder. Big Blll was not the same player that won the state title here last year, and the gallery speculated on the cause of his weakening. He w. nervous throughout the tourney. Evidently bothered by the injured finger on his right hand, the Phila- delphlan made & game, but futile, fight against the lively little Span- fard, and many a ball went into the net that would have sped over the barrler for a placement had it been hit by the unerring hand of the Til- den of 1922. A subject of comment among thé spectators was Tilden's wearing of a heavy sweater throughout the hard- est part of his match, though the day was warm. Alonso won the favor of the gal lery at the conclusion of his match with Tilden, when he refused to ac- cept the, championship unless the officlals extended a courtesy to Til- den. On set point, with the Spaniard serving, the ball apparently cleared the net, but Tilden thought it touched the tape, and therefore was “let.” “Let,” shouted Alonso, but all officiais agreed that it was not. Then, “No, no, T won't play,” exclaimed the | Spaniard, throwing his quet on the ground. He remained obdurate, and the match was resumed. with the previouus play disregarded. —Tilden purposely hit the next bail served toward tire galle Miss Helen Wills, Berkeley, CaClif. won the women's singles champio ship by handily defeating Miss M; rian A.

July 9—University of Michigan's track team, which this vear proved the words of the college song by becoming * ’n-mpmn- of the and then went west” the song one better by becoming national inter- collegiate leaders, promises to turn out as strong a cinder path aggrega- tion in 1924 as has been the case in the season just past. Michigan, winner of the recent Chi- cago national event by the largest margin ever registered by the suc- cessful contender in that annual af- fair, will lose but two of its track and fleld stars by graduation this vear. These are Isbell, the two-miler, and Schmidt, hammer thrower. All others who made points at the Chi- cago meet will be available to Coach teve Farrell next season. Farrell ims also to have a number of promising freshmen to make the 1924 team even better than the ona of this year.

WIN BY LAWRENCE PERRY. Homeward bound from Shelby, Mont.. the writer met many college men from various sections of the country—the majority of them halling from west of the Mississippi. and as & consequence it can be recorded that the victory of University of Wash- ington eight at the Poughkeepsie regatta has done more for the cause of western Intercolleglate aquatics than ten years of propaganda would have done. In fact, right now the interest displayed in the west over rowing suggests that in the course of a comparatively short time the sport of sweep swinging will rival foot ball as a major sport. University of Wisconsin, for ex mmple, has already made great head- way in reviving the sport at Madison and will send a crew to Poughkeppsie next vear. At the University of Minnesota the writer found signs the other day Indicating that the Wash- ington victory had added greatly to the impulse which aiready had begun to manifest itself.

On the other hand the quality of replacements is reported to be nigh. and while Smith will not send his eleven east this fall, he announces himself as quite ready to make the invasion in 1924 to play either Prince- ton or Pennsylvania.\ (Copyright, 1923.)

SIKI K. 0.S NILLES EARLY IN ROUND 2 “ PARIS, July 9.— Battling Stki's share of purses and gate receipts may be attached, but not so the punch in Afleen il- his left arm, The Senegalese, fight- | ing only for “glory” as the result of an injunction that prevented him from recelving any of the proceeds, knocked out Marosl Nilles yesterday early in the second round of what was to have been a fifteen-round bout. The hig French heavyweight went into the ring the favorite. He car- ried the fight to Siki in the first round and embarked on the same tactios at the opening of the sec- ond, only to find himself in a clinoh. s ‘they broke the BSenegalese shot across a left to the jaw and the fight was over. The actlon that denfed Stki a ma- terlal award was brought by Edmond Lapart, one of the boxers former managers, who alleges that he has a claim on part of Siki's earnings. Final judgment in the case has been reserved. POCKETBOOK PUNCH IS A TELLING BLOW BY FAIRPLAY. NEW YORK, July 9.—The most ef- fective blow in pugilism was deliv- ered in Shelby, Mont. Tt is the punch to the pocketbook. That is about the only place where a fighter really can be hurt nowadays, and the effect of the Shelby fight is already making itself felt in pugilistic circles. Per- ocentage {s rapldly taking the place of prime importance in conversations be- tween promoters and managers of fighters and percentage depends on drawing power. As a result spectators of the Wil- lard-Firpo bout next Thursday night ought to be sure of a good run for their money, no matter what kind of a battle it turns out to be. Each is out to add to his drawing power and for a chance at the big dough that would be in prospect from a match with Dempsey. Nefther man has any great per- sonal following at present. Willard, always handicapped by a colorless personality, never was a popular fdol even while champion. “He can take it” is about the best that.fight fans have been able to say of him since that time. Firpo is not well enough known to have acquired many supporters, but he seeme to have the faculty of making friends. A good enemy fs big an asset as a fighter can have. The Shelby fight proved that, because most of those who went had a real sneaking wish to see Dempsey's head knocked off. Firpo will have a pulling power at Boyles' Thirty Acres next Thurs- day, because many a ringside regu- lar wants to see him tested. They want to know whether thers is a saffron streak concealed about him which will flash up under punish- ment like the image on a photo- graphic plate in a bath of developer. A telegraph operator sitting next to the writer at the Firpo-McAuliffe bout expressed this attitude when : “This South American bird all right, but now he 18 on the receiving end DEMPSEY-WILLS FIGHT IS SOUGHT BY KEARNS SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 8.— Negotiations for the next heavy- welght championship battle between Jack Dempsey and probably Har Wills, negro, will be opsned with New York promoters within the next few davs, Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, announced here as he pre- pared to leave for New York today. 400 HORSES IN MEET.

EW YORK, July 9—Those who have formed opinions on the out- come of the Jess Willard-Luis Angel Firpo bout, and are prone to back those opinions with money, favor the South American to win The prevailing quotation is 8 to 5, and quite a little money already has been placed. With the bout four days away it is estimated that upward of $75,000 and possibly more has been wagered, and betting commissioners throughout the city are agreed that at least $250,000 will change hands on the outcome of the bout. Odds of 2 to 1 and A week ago Firpo ruled a pronounced favorite. 2 even 3 to 1 were freely quoted throughout the city, but Willard's training in his camp at Yonkers has been so impressive that his admirers have unloosened their purse strings to such an extent that the odds have been forced down and the opinion prevails that by the time the men enter the ring 6 to 5 and even money will be the prevailing quotations.
