JONES of Miami, Fla., owner of the camera, explained today that 250 pictures a second can be snapped. “I used the machine at Jamaica, Chicago and Hialeah Park,” he said, “but this will be the first time it will be operated on such a large scale. It's the fastest camera in the world.” The newly renovated grandstand and club house at the track have quarters for the camera just above the judge's stand. It will be placed in a niche in the wall looking down at the finish, CHEVROLETS GAIN LEAD Move to Top in Columbian Loop With Win From Capitols.

Every manager in the league has been asked to send a complete report of all games, including scores, to President Joe Cohen.

Flying Scot, carrying the silks of John Hay Whitney of New York, was Pompoon’s complete master in the ninth running of the $30,000 added Arlington classic. Pompoon, the heav- ily played 6-to-5 favorite, finished fifth in the brilliant field of seven. The chestnut son of the Porter- Caledonia, leading almost from start to finish of the mile and & quarter journey, defeated Eagle Pass, entry of the Valdina Farm, owned by Emerson F.
