PLANS
BIG WELCOME TO
OLYMPIC HERO

when in the company OF the best rum
ners.
Strobino had a better opinion of
himself. When the tryouts for the
Olympic games were held he was on
hand trained to the minute and look
ing as dapper as the rest of the boys.
Be he left an impression that he was
not the sort of a man for a long,
hard grind. When the trial contests
were yer the name of Strobino did
not appear on the list of those whose
way was to be paid by the marathon
committee. Strobino was sorry but
not disheartened. He went back to
Paterson and explained to his club
mates that he ought tor go, as he
surely would land the Stars and
Stripes somewhere near the front.
Appeal Is Made to Mayor.
The club members were of the same
opinion, and appeal was made to
Mayor Mcbride. The mayor was
interested when he found that a Pat
erson youth was in such shape as to
be able to be a contender in the great
race. A subscription list was pre-
pared and sufficient funds raised with
which to send strobino to Sweden.
Then the boy trained harder than he
had before.
Strobino Is 20 years old, and born
in Switzerland of French parents. He
came to this country when 8 years
old, and since that has been a resi-
dent of Paterson. His ambition al
ways has been to be a great athlete
and win honors on the cinder path.
He found at an early age that he
was better in long races, and then be-
gan to devote himself to long runs.
His family "a poor and he was
compelled to go to work. Several
years ago he became interested in
mechanics, and got employment with
the Sipp Machine Company, Pater-
son, where he remained until his de-
parture for Sweden.
The first real race in which Stro-
bino made any showing was on May
6, 1911, when he was fourth in a
modified marathon of 12% miles, con-
Quoted by the EVENING Mail in New
York. His time was 1 hour 10 min
utes and 20 seconds. 1t was freely
declared then that he would have
won the race had the event been
two miles longer, as he was stronger
at the finish than the winner. In
July of the same year he won n
modified marathon of fifteen miles
at Yonkers.

of thunder of more than usual inten-
sity kept many from leaving the
