THING AUTOMOBILE RACES
Invention of an Instrument that
Makes a Printed Record.
HOW THE DEVISE OPERATES
Personal Element Eliminated from
the Record Made by Racing Ma
chines-RecOrds Fractions
of Seconds.

Even the casual reader has no doubt OBJ
served that automobile records are now
expressed in hundredths OF a second,
whereas but a few months ago II was i'm
possible to obtain any greater precision
than fifths OF a second. all Of which in
dicates that the use OF the time-honored
split-second stop watch has been outgrown
in automobile races. When one stops to
think about It. It is really absurd to try
to time an automobile travelling anywhere
from a mile to two miles and over per
minute with an Indicator that crawls at a
snails pace around dial but an inch and
quarter in diameter. In the recent race
at Ormond for instance, where the mile
record was reduced to 7S3 seconds by
Barney oldfeld, he was travelling nearly
200 feet each second, which is equivalent
to the length of an ordinary New York City
block. When automobiles were first used
for racing purposes they were timed by
hand with stop-watches. But, wherever an
operator is depended upon to snap a stop
watch, inaccuracies are apt to creep in,
due to the fact that one person is quicker
OF perception than another, The timer
must see the start Of the race, and as soon
as this impression is received must start
his watch then at the close of the race the
same operation must be undergone to stop
the watch. The time required for this
mental and physica operation varies in diff
ferent persons, and is known as the per-
sonal element Not only does 1t vary with
different times. depending upon his mental
and physical condition. For this reason,
even In the timing OF foot races It was
long ago found necessary TO have three
timers and to take the time of the middle
watch, for the instruments of the three
timers varied as much as three-fifths OF a
/ second.
Stop Watches Too Slow.
Early in the history Of automobile racing
an effort was made to eliminate the per
sonal element by having stop watches
snapped automatically by the cars them.
selves making or breaking an electrical
contact when they crossed the starting and
J finishing tapes. But, as we have Just
pointed out, even with the personal eie-
ment eliminated, stop-watches are entirely
too slow to record the time Of SO rapidly
moving an object as a racing automobile
The experiment Of using a chronograph wa,
tried In several of the races last year, but

President Lynch OF the National league
starts out by making a very strong bid
for deserved unpopularity with a foolish
order prohibiting newspaper correspond
ents from taking action photographs OF
players on the diamond. He gives as his
excuse that It interferes with the game.
Interferes, indeed! Then we suppose that
President Lynch, to be consistent, will fol-
low this with a ruling that no spectators
shall be allowed on the inside of the fences,
for certainly they interfere with the play
1t Is possible that In the course of a season
or two photographer may interfere with
the handling of foul ball; ne could no do
more than that. But we say possible, not
probable. Certainly it occurs all to rarely
to call for ruling on the subject But

auent and Invariably they not only inter-
fere with the play, but often influence the
result of a game. at the same time de-
stroying its real interest to the fan. But
overflow crowds mean dollars at the box
office and that is what 1t takes to pay the
salary OF President Lynch and others He
would be illogical to put ban on the
overflow crowd, then. President Lynch
has really made a show of himself Take
the publicity that the newspaper reporter
and photographer give to baseball away
from the game and what would you have
left? President Lynch would not even
have a job left. He'll simply have to make
another ruling. that's all.

Omaha went along In the preliminary
skirmishes losing about every game, so
that when at Wichita ii won the opening
contest Of the season home fans naturally
felt that the preseason losses indicated
nothing as indeed, they did. OF course,
winning the first game at Wichita may in
dicate nothing but It is just as well to
have won tilt counts one game in the
finals. But that isn't the point-we be-
heve Omaha has a good ball team this
year and we should not be surprised to
lind the victory ours. Certainly President
Rourke has labored hard for two years
TO build up a winning team, He has
bought men with real money, men whom
other teams wanted and we hope he will
