Goes Far Out of

Written in many of the chapters Of
pugilistic history are names Of boxers
who. although they never held any
championship titles, will be remem-
bered for their feats long after some
champions have faded from the MEM
Dries of the tickle fans. Among them

Sharkey, Aurelia Herrera and others
who might be mentioned. Such a man
is Johnny Regain. of Los Angeles, one
of the toughest, cleverest, gamest
bantamweights who ever drew on a
glove.
Johnny Regain might we'll be termed
"the handicap king of the ring" Not
since the days of Joe Wolcott, the old
giant killer, has there ever been a
lighter who scoffed at the scale Of
weights with such care-free abandon as
Regain. When bsntamweights were
available he fought them. II they were
not, then the featherweights, light
weights and, on occasion, welter-
weights, were welcome.

YALE FIVE PULLS
TIGERS FROM TOP
Princeton Fails to Hold
Pace in intercollegiate
Basketball Race.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. |

Princeton, n. j., Feb. 20.-Yale pulled
Princeton down from the top of the
Intercollegiate Basketball League on
the home floor here tonight by a score
of 81 to Is. Yale's last tally had
scarcely started from Kinney's hands
when the closing whistle blew.
In the second half OF the contest
Princeton scored 10 points to Yales Z,
but the Tigers spent most of the first
half warming up to their work, and
meantime Yale had dropped IA points
to 8 for the home team, and had virtu-
ally slowed the game away.
Kinney and Arnold were responsible
for all but one goal of Yale's score,
and Arnold's nine foul goals counted
substantially. Kinney scored the only
field goals made for the New Haven
team in the second half.
The scoring was more evenly distrib-
uted among the Princeton players, but
Captain Gill led his men by some of
the most brilliant floor work seen this
year.
The Tigers fought hard in the last
fifteen minutes, and had reduced the
score to 10 to IS when Paulson shot a
basket from the side of the court, which
was ruled out as being from out of
bounds. Kinney scored In the last sec

Johnny Regain, Bantam,
Would Fight Them All

the champion, and "Kid" Williams, then
an aspirant for championship honors,
refused to fight him.
Joe Rivers, who was then at the
height of his career; Joe Mandot, now
considered one of the best lightweights
in the country, Tommy Dixon and other
caps in weight from Regain in the ring.
To be sure, the little fellow did not al
ways win, but every time he went into
the ring the fans were sure of getting
a run for their money.
Regain has seldom, II ever, entered
the ring weighing more than 116
pounds, and generally he scaled at
about ll2 pounds. When he fought
Rivers he balanced the beam at ia
pounds, and Rivers came in at 1875
pounds at o'clock in the afternoon.
Mandot weighed l24 pounds at 8
o'clock, while Tommy Dixon scaled 1877
pounds ringside. Against Mandot and
Dixon Regain scaled 10 pounds.
Fighting welterweights is not re-
garded as the wisest thing in the world
for a bantam. yet Regain fought Harry
Farmer, q California man who tipped
the bar at l44 pounds. conceding him
thirty-one pounds and stopping him in
thirty-three rounds.
For several months Regain has been
out of the ring, suffering with fallen
arches. He is nearly we'll again, and
in a month will be back In the thick
OF the fray. He wants to meet Kid
Williams or any Of the li6-pound
men, and the fans may be assured Of
stirring times when be gets going.

voting, when he received eleven Of the
thirteen votes. DR.. William II, Mean
drews, who was succeeded by McCreary,
guided the business of the committee
for the last eight years.
McCreary is firm believer in work
ing in closer harmony with the Public
Schools Athletic League, which con-
trolls the elementary schoolboy sports.
Too many subcommittee have also
hindered the work of the games COM
mittee in the past, and it is intended
TO do away with the greater part OF
them and to form an executive body.
The important point as to whether
a novice runner breaks his track eligi-
bility when he wins a prize in a cross
country run has been decided in the
negative by the high schools games
committee. The case was that of James
Calvary, of Commercial High School,
who, after winning a prize in a road
run, was prevented from competing in
track event.
The Standard Bearer and the Peters
team shoots, that will feature the open
schoolboy shooting tournament at the
Grand Central Palace this week, are
we'll filled. They will be decided on
Tuesday. Curtis, Stuyvesant, Bryant,
De Witt Clinton, Trinity, Manual

have entered the Standard Bearer
eight-man team contest, while for the
other team prizes Boys High, Curtis,
Eastern District, Bushwick, Stuyvesant,

Morris and Eastern District are down
to shoot.
With the distribution of entry blanks
for the high schools swimming cham

the five pools about the city will be
open for boys to train for the title
events. The entry for this year is
expected to be the largest ever rec
orded, and a number of records are
looked for in the six events.
The championships are to be held on
March IL in the pool of the College
of the City OF New York. The events
will be 50-yard sprint, 100-yard and
220-yard swims, plunge for distance,
dive for form and an S00-foot relay
race for four-boy teams, each to swim
200 feet. A boy can compete in two

II does. not seem possible that three
teams could be more evenly matched
If Lippincott and Paterson are in
good condition, with Meredith and
Kaufman, who are known to be at their
best, the Quaker City team should
win. Many of the athletic sharps pick
the New York team to come home first
The writer can't see how the New
Workers can lose. Many of the best
METROPOLITAN athletes will be seen IN
the open A. A. L. events.
When a track measures less than
147 yards to the lap, or twelve laps to
the mile, what chance has distance
man of getting first place? Especially
after he gives more than two laps
handicap in a three-mile race? This
subject of handicapping more than a
lap has been argued pro and con, and
most of the athletic experts agree that
a man should not be handicapped more
than a lap. .,,
For scratch man to come through
in a distance race he must break
worlds record in nine out of ten races
The same practically applies in the
middle distance races above the half.
Outside of the metropolitan section, the
scratch man invariably has an even
chance of finishing first in his race.
The handicaps are made so as to give
him a chance of coming through.
The athletic enthusiasts always IKE
to see the scratch man in at the finish.
Why can't the handicaps be made so
that he has a chance? In the New Eng
lang Association the limit handicap
for the mile is eighty yards; IN New
York it is nearer the 1S0-yard marx.
Some difference.

Sunderland Makes Big Jump in
League Table at Expense of
Blackburn ROverS.
[By Gable % The ribun. J

London, Feb. 20.-The soccer cup ties
for the third round produced several
splendid games and many startling sur
prises, quite the feature being Chel-
seas victory over Manchester City by
the only goal scored. The winners
team of stars got going in fine style
and, securing the lead early in the
game, held on until time was called,
and with little luck in the next round
should be strongly fancied for the final.
The downfall of the cup holders,
Burnley, was hardly a surprise, as in
tackling Bolton Wanderers away from
home, they were up against the stifes5
proposition in this round. Twenty-Five
thousand persons saw the only tic
played in London between Queens Park
Rangers and Everton, ending in VIC
tory for the visitors by score of to
1 after a desperate game. Norwich
City kept up its reputation as cup
fighter and, sharing the goals with the
powerful Bradford City club st ! all,
should win the replay on its own
ground next Saturday.
The draw for the fourth round TO be
played off on March will be made in
London on Monday next.
The results follow:
