NEW YORKERS AWED BY ELECTRIC CAMERA, JOE REPORTS

New Device Attracts Top Interest of Race Fans at Jamaica During First Day Gotham Citizens Believed Judges’ Guesswork Was Only Way to Decide Close Finish, Williams Says; Metropolitan Turf Slowly Improving, BY JOE WILLIAMS Tim.. Special Writer NEW YORK. April 16.—" You mean to say that there thing takes a picture of the horses as they cross the line?” . . , The incredulous gentleman was talking to his companion and he was referring to the electric camera which made its debut at the Jamaica track yesterday coincidental with the opening of the metropolitan racing season.

“That’s right, replied his companion. “The instant the horses break through that funnel of light you see there the

camera snaps and a picture of the finish Is made. At least that’s what they tell me.” The Incredulous gentleman —and you could tell by looking at him he had never been outside of New York—shook his bead resignedly and sputtered, “gee wilikens, ain’t science won-

derful.” The citizens of our town are simple, unspoiled children, particularly those who spend their afternoons around the race tracks, and the appearance of a novelty, such as the electric camera, excites their awe. and sets them to jabbering. They had heard reports that the tracks out in California and down in Florida were using some sort of magical contrivance to photograph close finishes so as to eliminate the element of human error, but they supposed it was just a lot of foolish talk, or maybe a practical joke. There was only one way to tell who won a tight horse race and that was to guess at It like the judges had been doing at the Metropolitan tracks for the past 50 years. . . . Yep, there was only one way, but gol danged if here wasn’t that electric camera, right in little old New York, and blamed If the derned thing wasn’t working, too! tt tt tt This revolutionary innovation was the feature of the opening day program, together with an electric board which automatically flashes the numbers of the first, second, third and fourth horses, along with the time after the race. It can not be said, therefore, that New York racing is insensitive to progressive trends. One of these centuries the citizens of our town may even have the privilege of walking up to a mutual window and making a bet, just like the sophisticates of Arlington, Tex., Pawtuckett, R. 1., and Havre De Grace, Md. Boy, that will be something, won’t it? Os course, it will first be necessary to persuade State Senator James J. Crawford and some of his associates that the mutuels won’t impoverish the textile workers of New England. The Senator was very strong for mutuels at one time, even led the fight for them in the legislature, but overnight he changed.

WORD had come to him that the aforesaid textile workers were pouring their miserable dollars down the greedy gullets of the machines. The thought of the textile workers of Broadway who lug their weary bones to Dinty Moore's, Lindy's and Dave’s Blue Room after a hard day at the mills, being victimized in a similar manner was more than his altruistic soul could stand. So the Senator, whose heart of hearts has always bled for the underprivileged, turned around and led the fight against the mutuels. a fine, gallant stand which the textile workers of New England, you can be sure, will never forget. There was some talk at the time that the bookmakers had raised a large slush fund to defeat the machines, which would have ended their monopoly on open gambling under the state's auspices, but this probably originated in the mind of some poisonous person who wouldn’t recognize a humanitarian impulse if one came along and bit him in the leg. # # RACING conditions have improved here, but they are still so inferior to those existing in other metropolitan centers —and even in some hay-shaking centers—that it is painful. It is possible to sympathize with the peculiar problems the commission and the associations must face without being altogether satisfied with the results. There were books in the clubhouse yesterday for the first time, twelve of them, and this helped a great deal. Why they weren’t there last year or the year before nobody can explain. The betting,shed at Jamaica was built for /another generation and another scnool; it is outmoded and on active days it still takes an all-America full back to place a bet, and three interferers to go back and collect it. There were some 55.000 persons at the Polo Grounds for the opening ball game of the season day before yesterday. There were less than 15,000 at the race opening yesterday. The answer was the race people didn’t have much to offer. Even including the SSOOO Paumonok the card was very ordinary. With good racin convenient betting and a modern layout, opening day here should draw four times what is does. CASTLETON WINS * Castleton High School annexed a close triangular track meet at Warren Central yesterday afternoon, scoring 36 points. Fortville tallied 35 and Lawrence was third with 28. The winners swept all points in the high Jump, while Fortville scored a slam in the pole vault. —— l NEURITIS Rheumatism or Muscular I Lumbago •rs quickly relieved with [ Keene’s Wintergreen Tablets I Absolut* money-b.ek guarantee.

Boxer Sykes Parts Ropes and Gets Out of There Elmira Heavy Fmds Going Tough Against Bob Pastor, Leaves Ring and Runs. By United Press CHICAGO, April 16.—Art Sykes, Elmira (N. Y.) heavyweight, ended his featured bout with Bob Pastor, New York, last night by leaping cut of the ring at the end of the sixth round.

Sykes was said to have quarreled with his manager over a newspaper story which he believed questioned his courage. He disappeared after the quarrel, was located by police and persuaded to go through with his bout before a $271 house. Sykes and Pastor fought on about even terms for two rounds. Then Pastor began to score heavily and Sykes once was warned to stop holding. At the end of the sixth Sykes squirmed through the ropes, brushed his trainers aside and dashed into his dressing room. Pastor was awarded a tentative decision pending official investigation. Sykes’ purse was withheld. Later Sykes claimed his hand and stomach pained him.

4 Black Menace*Stops Man Louis Was Unable to K. O. Leroy Haynes Takes Step Nearer Big Bout With Quick Victory Over Natie Brown. By United Pre PHILADELPHIA, April 16.—Leroy (Howitzer) Haynes. Philadelphia’t hard-hitting Negro heavyweight, was recognized in pugilistic circles today as a “Black Menace” to Joe Louis’ prestige. Haynes knocked out Natie Brown of Washington, the last man to stay the full 10 rounds with the Brown Bomber, in two rounds last night.

In turning in his fourth better-than-Joe-Louie performance, Haynes not only elevated himself on the puglistic ladder but he clinched a contract for three fights this summer at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. His first opponent is expected to be Former Heavyweight Champion Jack Sharkey, on Mav 27. Haynes, wha is gunning for an ultimate cracs at Louis, made it four-up on the famous Detroit dynamiter when he stretched “Cutie” Brown on the floor for the full count at 2:48 of the second round. Previously he had disposed of Primo Carn?ra in three rounds, Patsy Perroni in seven, and Hans Birkie in five, whereas Louis had required six, 10 and 10, respectively, to turn the same tricks. Six thousand fans in the arena saw Hayne:; jacknife Brown vith a terrific right hook to tht stomach in the first round, and stagier him with a left hock to the chin in the second. This left hook to ti e jaw in a neutral corner dressed the evasive Washington scrapper lor the kill. Pinned in the comer, Brown was bombarded with left and right hooks. Brown-haired Natie, w r ho never before had taken the full count in nearly eight years of professional fighting, wilted under the punishment, and a final smashing right to the mouth crashed him to the floor. As Referee Joe McGuigan tolled off the 10-count Brown tried futiley to rise. In his pressing room Brown told I PANTS SOL4S Oxford Gray and Dark Blue Talr I ETMVI tailoring UtV/ll COMPANY Mass. Ave. and E. New York

-APRIL 16,1936

reporters: ‘That guy Haynes is the only man I know who could give Louis a fight and maybe lick him. He hits harder with his right than Louis, although he is not as accurate." Brown was booed loudly by the fans because of his quick knockout, but newspaper men at the ringside agreed that Natie had not taken a “dive.” Brown weighed 212 pounds. Haynes scaled 200. CONTINENTALS READY FOR SOUTHPORT MEET After a heavy workout yesterday, Coach Cleon Davies of Washington High School, plans to send his Continental cinder and field squad through a light windup drill today in prepaartion for a dual meet at the West Side field with Southport tomorrow afternoon. The team appeared at top strength and ready to duplicate last year’s victory over the Cardinals, 74 to 43. Washington never has been defeated on the home oval.
