LESLIE CAPTURES
1000 YARD TITLE
Beats Good Field for met"
Championship at list
Regiment Games.
BY JAMES $. mitchell.

The athletic carnival, reception and
dance of the Seventy-first Regiment In
fantry IN its armory last night WIS pre-
emnently successful. Not alone was
there keen competition. but the enthusi-
asm of 1000 youthful spectators was
beyond comparison. A full list of regi-
mental events was appropriately supple
mented by three Metropo 'itan A. A u.
titles which proved a decided attraction.
There were mile walk. shotput and
1000 yard run.
The 1000 yard proved to be the event
of the night, and in fact it proved to be
the best OF these sectional sanctions dis
tributed by the Metropolitan Associa-
ton. A well earned victory fell to Sgd
ney Leslie, who Is about to don the
colors OF the Guaranty Trust Club. 1t
was the first time this winter he APP
| peared to use his head. Running al
ways well up in front, he waited until
the homstretch for his main effort, and
then he shot by Joe Higgins OF the New
York A. G. to win by a foot. Jack
Sellers of the New York A. c. was a
close third
The mile walk was started without
Joseph Pearman Of the New York A. c..
the national seven mile champion. and
| who was advertised to do all sorts OF
thirgs to the armory record. He was
reddy downstairs IN the dressing room
and said he did not get call. However,
the race went off just as Pearman cane
on the floor and 1t was won by Joe Aron-
son Of the Pastime A. c., after strus-
giles with H. Lobou Of the Ninety-second
! Street Young Mems Hebrew Association.
Pearman walked an exhibition mile af-
terward.
The most successful competitor in the
regimeutal events was Fl. Fleischman Of
the Machine Gun Company. who ac-
counted for the 65 yard handicap and
the 440 yard heavy marching order. In
the latter event he proved to be excep-
tionaliy fleetfooted with all his resi-
mentals by making new armory record
of Il 1-5. The record books of the regi-
ment did not contain the old mark but
II was said that the former mark was
1:3. by Private Kelly some years ago.
