ATHLETES ARE NOW LOOKING
 FOR GOOD MARATHON RUNNERS

1 NEW YORk. Jan. 30-Athletic or
 ganizations throughout the country, especially in the East are paying greater attention than ever before to
 the development of distance runners in preparation for the 1924 Olympiad at Paris.
 Amerlca.s moaaz.-es in distance events, especially the marathon, has always been a handicap in interna- tional competition and problem that athletic authorities have sought con stantly to solve Not since 1908, in ny Hayes captured the marathon after Donando the Italian star, col lapsed when leading near the finish, has the United States produced a winner or landed better than third place in this classic. The same lack of class in other distance events has often hampered this country's chances of team victory. despite the fact that Yankee supremacy has been established consistently in shorter races and in many field events. The increasing number of distance and marathon races. and the prom inenee given them in recent athletic contests, reflects general effort to
 bolster Americas strength in this branch of competition. Organizations in New York and Boston have de-
 voted particular attention to bring. t,,os tn1 fn while road races in various parts of the country have attracted large en-
 tries and stimulated a desire among
 runners to train for distance laurels Two of the most consistent d.s tance stars now in competition are
 Willie Ritola, of the Finnish-Ameri
 can A. C.. New York, and R. Earl
 Johnson, Pittsburgh Negro. Ritola and Johnson competed in most ot | the principal distance events last
 fall, the Finn winning the national ! 10-mile and eross-eouEtry titles which
 Johnson held the year before. Ilmar
 Prim, another Finnish-American star
 who captured the five-mile national
 championship. is in the front rank oi
 distance cracks.
 1 Marathon stars capable of compet
 ing with European runners have been
 largely lacking. Clarence DeMar
 who is attempting comeback after
 many years of competitive ideness
 and Frank Zuna, of New York, arc
 among the outstanding eligibles foi
 this event, but there are few others
 of top-noteh calibre. Development ol
 marathon material is one of the chic
 goals of those interested in strength
 ening the American array of Olympic
 contenders for next year.
