This post requires little explanation. From June 1922, courtesy of Gallica, the Société Gymnastique de Tunis pays a visit to Marseille at the annual competition of the Union des Sociétés Gymnastiques de France. Founded by Eugene Paz in 1873, the USGF was a major organization, with the President of the Republic several times presiding over its annual competition as men's gymnastics became an extremely popular spectator sport. Unfortunately the Tunis team went home empty-handed this year. The decade was dominated by the Belfort and Mulhouse squads; 1922 was no different, with the Belfortaise taking home the crown.
