Cuban Fencers Training
For 1923 Tournament

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 6.-Highly
elated by their victory last May over
picked swordsmen from the New York
Athletic Club, Cuban fencers have be-
gun training and are arranging elm
ination bouts to pick team for the
international tournament to be held
in Havana next February,
Pho Alonzo, one of Cuba's most
noted masters at arms, is in charge
Of the preliminary work. Reports
from the United States say that the
Amateur Fencing League of Ameri-
"a, which has accepted the Cuban
challenge to engage in the February
tournament, has discovered that in.
terest in fencing in the United States
is increasing and that new fencing
masters have been imported from Eu-
rope to develop latent American tai
ent.
The Cuban team that met the New
Workers last spring, while composed
of experts, was not representative of
the republic, for lack of time prevent
ed the holding of adequate elimina-
tion bouts. Under present condi-
tions, elimination bouts will be held
every Saturday, winners names will
be posted, and they will be forced to
accept challenges from other winners.
The members of the 1922 team will
have the right to compete with the
final winners of the elimination con-
tests for the honor of representing
Cuba in 1928.
