TAKING PART
IN ATHLETIC GAMES
ROME, May 5. (P) Athletic
competition in public ny gins is
disapproved by I'ope Pius.
The pontiff has sent an open
letter to Cardinal I'omell, curator
of the Rome diocese, protesting
against a gymnnstlc competition
for young girls which wns to have
begun tomorrow. The letter com
plains that the games which the
pope regards as unseemlngly and
contrary to tho spirit of woman
hood, should occur under the very
eyes of the head of the Catholic
eiiurch. He' npproves remon
strances already made on the sub
ject by various bishups.
The athletic competition is
especially disagreeable, the nope
writes, since It comes In the month
of May which is dedicated to tho
blessed Virgin.
The bishop of Rome." says the
letter, cannot in fact fall to deplore
that here In the holy city of
Catholicism, nfter twenty centuries
ov' Christianity, tho sensitiveness
nnd Attention to the delicate care
due to young women and girls
should be shown to have fallen
lower than pagan Rome."
The letter criticized public per
formances by young femnle nth
letes. saying that the methods of
physical culture now pursued In
Italy are contrary to "good sane
pedagogy."
