 Los Angeles, Jan. 1O-The Los Angeles Athletic Club is making a strong effort to aid in the revival and upbuiIding in California of the fine old art of fencing.
 The chivaIric game of the foils, long ago so perfectly developed that taken from it, has been much neg lected since the war. In Los Angeles it shows signs of coming back with more vigor than ever, and a move ment is on foot to try to bring to this city the national amateur tourna- ment next May or June.
 Miss Janet Ford, nationally known diving star of the Los Angeles Ath- letic Club aquatic team, has taken up fencing with the determination. she says. of becoming world famous in the art. She is said to already dem onstrate such cleverness and energy that Arthur Saint Remie, maitre d 'armes of the club predicts her am- bition will be realized in a few years.
 M. Saint Remie, one of the most distinguished of European masters, and for many years instructor ia the colonial armies of France, and the armies of Argentina and Chile, is bringing out a score of Los Angeles men who are expected to cut a figure Snowy Baker, widely known Aus tralian athlete. now a resident of Southern California
