United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3. U.P}-
The brave and the fair of Cali
fornia-at least those who prefer
horse racing to football-gathered
at Bay Meadows today for the
elaborate debut of william P.
Kynes new turn venture.
Made possible by a recent vote
of the California electorate, which
legalized pari-mutuel betting, Bay
Meadows opened its doors to fol-
lowers of the ponies.
It provided a picturesque oval
near San Mateo, some 20 miles
from San Francisco, the dead center
of a sporting population. The pro-
prietorS of bay Meadows claim it
will not suffer by comparison with
any racing plant in the nation. 1t
is designed for the comfort of the
guest. or customer. from the first
turnstile to a very elaborate bar
in the club house.
Preparations have been made to
handle an opening days crowd OF
10000 persons.
It is estimated that between
sl50,O00 and 100000 will be wag-
cred on the days races.
Sixteen of the fastest sprinters
in training in the United States
have been nominated for the ST.
500 Stockton handicap to be run
as the feature of the opening day

NEW YORK, Nov. 3. - Madison
Square Garden, that delightful var
iety all on Eighth avenue which
sponsors cat shows, Tammany raj
lies. rodeos, symphony concerts and
circuses, threw open its doors to
la boxe last night in an effort to
locate a challenger for lightweight
champion Barney Ross.
When the last punch had been
thrown and Joe Humphreys had
raised the last weary arm, 1851
paving customers walked out into
the night convinced that if the
young gentlemen placed on exhibit
were the only menaces to the 1885,
pound title, Ross would be cham
pion forever.
Starting with a pair of ambitious
young gentlemen named Leonardo
Del Genio and Charley Badami
Promoter Jimmy Johnston ran out
what he considered the cream OF
the lightweight class. There was
Al Roth of New York and Eddie
Cool OF Phllly; young Peter jack
son of California and Tony Falco
of Philadelphia; Harry Dublinsky
of Chicago and frankie Klick OF
San Francisco; they were all very
earnest and willing, but that about
let them out. On good night
Ross could take them all.
The most severe disappointment
was the colored chap. young Peter
Jackson. Hailed by western critics
as the greatest Negro lightweight
since Joe Cans. Peter went into
the ring against Falco, a 5 to
favorite. Some of the wagering
boys were offering 2 to that Fal-
co wouldn't go the route.
Falco not only went the route
but he took six rounds to three fol
Jackson and made the second Joe
GanSo look like a second ratel
from the kerosene circuit.

record of 80 knockoutS in 68 fights

kick. Score: Brawley s, El Gen.
tro 0.
1 Failure of the Wildcats to appear
on the field in time for the OPEN
ing of the second half was a break
which counted heavily against
them. The ball was given to the
Spartans on the Brawley 40-yard
stripe and an inspired Central
team took full advantage Of the
opportunity which came their way.
They passed and plunged their way
straight down to the Wildcat goal
and Lambeth carried the ball over
from the two-yard line for the
score.
With victory hinging on the COLI
version. an attempt to rush the
ball over the line instead of kick
ing it failed and the score stood sc
which was the final outcome Of the
game.
Shortly before the close of the
game. Brawley attempted a place
kick from the Spartan 30-yard line
but the effort was partially block
ed by Edgar and was unsuccessful.
The Spartans then took possession
of the ball and had it on the 25
yard line as the game closed.
The game was marked by this
sterling work of both lines, the
Brawley forward wall showing to
better advantage in the first hall
while the Spartans did their stuff
in the second session. Aaron, Glib
son, Furbass and Spear stood out
in the Spartan line while Burger,
Riley. Bailey and Lewis were the
towers of strength for the Wildcats
In the backfield Hui. while in the
game, showed that he is both fast
and shifty. Lambeth, Wagner
and Bush lived up to their past
performances in the ball toting
game. Chalupnick, Morrison and
Sasaki were the Brawiey backfield
stars. the former eXcelling by his
line plunging and prnting while
Sasaki distinguished himself by his
running back of punts.
Statistics on Game
The Spartans attempted 13 for
ward passes of which were COM
pleted, : went by the wayside and
two were intercepted by Brawley.
The Wildcats took to the air 10
times with attempts completed
and three incomplete.
Brawley was penalized three
times for a total of 25 yards while
Central drew two penalties for 20
yards. In first downs the Spartans
chalked up through line plunges
and passes while the Wildcats to-
tailed 6. Central did not tumble
during the game while the Wild
cats lost possession nf the ball once
when a Brawley bobble was recov-
cred by the Spartans. On the 9TH
er hand one Spartan punt was
+ blocked by the fast charging Wild
cats and was recovered by the. Wis

CANADIAN WORKERS
 LETTING AMERICANS
 SETTLE OWN STRIKE


 Canadian 1ongshoremen appeared to be satisfied to let their Amer ican brethren work out their own troubles, according to Capt w. Q. Palmer, of the Princess Charlotte, which docked here northbound last evening.
 Capt. Palmer stated that the only cooperation offered to the In- ternational Longshoremen's Union strike by the Canadian workers is that they have refused to load American vessels. He said that this is probably the reason why the steamer Alaska did not carry cargo on her present voyage out of Vancouver.
 Several ships are at present in the Vancouver harbor awaiting the settlement of the dispute before entering the strike area.

FORBIDDEN CITY IN TIBET Is TO
 BE ELECTRIFIED
Lhasa Has Been Seen By
 Few White Mefl-Has Been Using Lamps
BY LEE WILSON Limited Press Stan CorrespOndenf

United Press Stan Corresp0ndenf) {
 London, Mar 14-A scroll of rice paper, two feet long and four feet wide, dated "The 21st day of the fourth month of the water bird yard," was in the hands of ; the Genedal Electric co. today as a contract to install electric lights in the ancient forbidden city of Lhasa, Tibet. :.
 It is one of the most inacces- sible cities in the modern world.
 For a thousand years, this fount of Buddhism, where no railways { penetrate and which few white men have seen, has been illunin-7 ated by age-old lamps and primt- tive candles. Within 8 year all Its { buildings, from the smallest homes to the palace of the Dalai lama are scheduled to twinkle with modern electrit light bulbs.
 Vast quantities of equipment- already are reported transporteda from the nearest hail head to Lha-r sa, over the rocky and perfiouss routes that can be traversed sure ly only by oxen or by Tibetan- porters.
 The religious orders, which yir- tually rule Tibet, had to be per- suaded to give their permission to install the equipment. The Dalia Lama himself, it is said, was the, z. strongest influence towards mod, ernization. He died, however, be- fore he could see the lights he sanctioned.

Knights of Columbus of Water bury and the Naugatuck Valley will be interested in the announcement that Thomas McCloskey, chief mail clerk at the Danbury post office, has been recommended and en- dorsed for the appointment of postmaster of that city.
 Democratic Committeeman Ar chibald McNeil of Bridgeport has formally recommended to Post master James A. Farley. MT. Mc- Closkey's appointment. In view of the fact that he has the unanimous endorsement of the democratic town committee of the "Hat Town" his eventual official appointment is believed to be but matter of pro- cedure.
 MT. McCloskey has already been certified by the Civil Service com mission.
 Well Known Here
 The prospective postmaster of Danbury is known throughout the state through his many activities in connection with the Knights of Columbus. He is particularly well known here as member of the Danbury degree team, which exem-
