RUSSIANS ARE NOW
 TURNING TO SPORTS

| MOSCOW, Aug BOA Red Olym-
 piad' is planned by Soviet authorities
 interested in athletics as Bolshevik Russias contribution to the world of sport.
 | Despairing of securing admission to the Paris Olympic games in 1924,
 Russian athletes hope to be able to
 organize within a year or two an | international competition of the best athletes from the Red Trade Unions and other Communist organizations throughout the world. Proletarian
 sports, including soccer football tugs
 of war, wrestling and field sports
 are to be featured
 Since the end of the Civil War there has been revival of athletic activity in Russia. Though particl- pating in previous Olympic games. Russia was never noted as a nation where sports were loved Instead of baseball or cricket, the Russians had the ballet. and they rooted for their dancing favorites with all the vim that Americans displayed in cheering their home-run heroes. Horse racing also had thousands of followers, and 'trotters were as much esteemed at Petrograd and Moscow as in the Ken lucky blue grass. Horse racing al ready has been revived and is grow ing more popular every day, particu- larly as betting machines are now permitted
 Among the peasants themselves, however, sport, except for country wrestling and occasional bucolic run ming matches, was practically un- known Peasants comprise at least 70 per cent of. the Russian popula tion. 7 The workmen in the cities are interested principally in football
 The government has now organ ized a special department to encour- age sports and Is appointing instruc- tors in every province. The school children are being taught physical cultural exercises
 Funds for this purpose are ex- tremely limited, however. and there is great shortage of footballs and other athletic paraphernalia.
 A recent football, match near Mos COW was attended by a crowd of nearly 1000 persons. and the Soviet sport officials declare that within a few years Russia will show more in terest in sporting events than was the custom before the war.
