NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Thc list
of American sprint stars and
world s record holders was one
stronger today with the addition of
The name ef Jummy Quinn Of Holy
Cross, who must bc counted upon
from now on whenever this country
Olympic possibilities are under con
sideratioa.
YoungoQuinn, heretofore unknown
to national fame, showed flying
heels to one of the strongest fields
that ever contested Il spring cham
pionship and won the special 60
yard dash at the New York \. {.
games in Madison Square Garden
last night in 80 seconds.
In the prcliminarics Quinn was
clockcd in Is seconds. Only
three runners had oqualled this time
before the Holy Cross senior flash
cd to the fore down the straight
awav in one of the heats. Loren
Murchison set the record Saturday
January 81, 1923 and il was equal
Cd by both Chct Bowman and Albert
Francisco at Chicago March 6, 1926.
Roland Locke, former Nebraska
star and holder of the world 5 record
for the 220 yard dash, was one of
the spriuters who took Young Quinn S
dust. Quinn Won all three of the
heats which he attempted, equalling
the record in the first and capturing
the final heat after a bad start.
Games Disappointing
Aside from the performance of
Quinn, the games from which SO
much had been expected, proved a
Disappointment.
Sabin Carr Of Yale. outstanding
athlete of 1927. began his 1928 sea-
son inauspiciouslv, failing in three
attempts to set a new world S record
for the pole vault. lie did clear l3
feet six inches, however, TO win
the event with ease.

LEWIS RECAINS
WRESTLING TITLE
FROM STECHER
By II. PERRIER
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 21.- At
the end of two hours 80 minutes and
46 seconds of wrestling, Ed Strang-
Ter Lewis early today regained the
worlds heavyweight championship
from Joe Stecher.
The match for which mat fans
had waited patiently for years
found the brawny claimant of the
title the aggressor throughout while
his stolid opponent, Stecher, APP
peared content to grapple defen-
sive course except for 80 flashing
seconds Of the second fall.
They took the mat at 1904 p. m.,
Lewis weighing 22s pounds; Stechcr
900 pounds.
Lewis came out with rush. Both
men promptly entered head tug
ging game that persisted for % min
utes when Lewis floored his lighter
opponent with body hold. For ap-
proximatelv two hours Stecher al
ternatelv broke the body hold and
permitted Lewis to regain it until,
at the two hours and 16 minutes
mark, Lewis succeeded in pinning
Stechcr's shoulders to the mat with
bar arm lock and body block.
After 20 minute intermission,
! Stecher returned to the ring and
brought the 5000 spectators to their
feet when he flipped his heavier
opponent to the mat with virtually
the same hold Lewis had used in
gaining the first fall.
1t required Sc seconds for the
champion to place the match on a
fallsall basis. Lewis obviously was
dazed hv the sudden reversal of his
first fall advantage.
The body hold battle of the
claimant ultimately sapped Stech-
cr's strength and after y minutes
and 50 seconds of the third session
Lewis, using combination toe hold
and arm lock brought his firing op-
ponnnt' s shoulders to the mat.
When the deciding fall was made
BY Lewis, Stecher was somewhat
tangled in the ringside ropes with
one leg off the mat and the other
dangling over the bottom rope.
His manager entered protest a
! gainst an adverse decision under the
circumstances which he claimed en-
titled Stccher to return to the cen
ter of the ring.

AT the Olympic Auditorium tonight

Despite the fact that Anderson

Many figure that Anderson will
