TWINS FEATURE PENN RELAYS
 ON FIRST DAY
RideOut Runners From Texas Sensational at
 Quaker City
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Philadelphia, April 30 - (UP)- North Texas State Teachers College, famous for its foot-racing twins, threatened to steal the show again today as the 44th annual Penn relays entered the final day of com- petition at Franklin Field
 The athletes from the Lone Star State, already ill possession of the major meet record of 1888, were favored to add two more relay titles at the expense of Indiana, which scored three year ago.
 Yesterday, with the Rideout twins Blaine and Wayne, pulling the team out of rut on the last two legs, Texas took the 21s mile dis tance medley title which Indiana won 8 year ago. The Texans were clocked in 9:59.4, breaking the meet record of 10:047 set last year by h. diana and also the unofficial world mark of 10:0O.3 which Indiana set in June, 1897, at Columbus, O. The time, however, will not be recog- niZed as an official world mark be- cause the International Athletic Federation does not recognize the distance.
 Today the Texans, who have 21s sets of twins running here, seek the half-mile and four mile crowns which Indiana took last year. And, because the newly surfaced track is lightning fast, records appear certain in both events.
 The Rideouts-Blaine did a 4:1O.6 miles yesterday in the distance medley for the fastest mile ever run on Franklin Field-are expected to furnish the necessary spark for the mile event while the Brown twins, Elmer and Delmer, will do heavy service in the half mile relay. Aiding in the latter will be another twin, Alvin Chrislnan, whose brother is not an athlete. These two events shape up as the premier meetings in todayS ses- sion which embraces approximately 50 events. No track meet would be complete without the name Gun nmgham, so Durable Glenn, " king of the world milers will run his speciality against his perennial rival, Gene Venzke, and two other unnamed starters in the special in- vitation event.
 Other special invitation events are the hammer throw, javelin broad jump, 5000 meter, in whicf Don Lash of Indiana will seek tC better the world mark, hundred yard dash, pole vault and higf jump. Lash, injured slightly in al automobile accident in Indiana en. route here Thursday night, vii definitely start, meet officials an. nounced late last night.

Boston, April 30.-CUP) Louis Thesz 22-year-old Hungarian far mer from St. Louis, found the BoS- ton Garden ring once more a jinX last evening when he lost a tWo-out of three fall match to Won Robert of Montreal in bout involving two former worlds wrestling champions
 It was in the same ring that Thesz lost his worlds heavyweight title to Steve (Crusher) Casey oi Boston only two months ago. Thesz was substituting last night fol Casey, who has an infected knee
 As in his earlier bout with Casey Thesz won the first fall, dazing Robert with a series of eight body slams and then pinning his should CTS with hip and head lock al PISA.

 The lineup, in the order listed came about when the writer yanked the rivals out of a hat, size ' 5-8 the property of Ed Fitzpatrick, pres ident of the City Amateur league which opens it's 14th baseball cam paign at the same old stand Hamilton Park. Tomorrow after noon, the six teams named above will take the field and if you will notice another "battle of Baldwin street is listed, as the Washing ton Hills and Tribune A. c. meet at 1:30 D. m. on the No. l diamond, the Hearts at Brooklyn at the same hour on No. 2 diamond while the defending champion Tommies take on the league entry Overlooks at 3:30 p. m.
 Much Stronger
 On paper, the Washington Hills and Tribunes figure to be Gin there" all the way, with the possibility of either club winning the 1888 laurels and making the trip to Pittsburg for the national tournament. For several seasons the Hearts and Tommies have had the class of the league but the boys from Baldwin street have rounded up two teams that will not only make plenty of trouble but probably finish within the first three.
 Mound DuelS
 Some all out pitching of top cali- Der is expected tomorrow accord ing to names supposed to be lined up by the various contestants. Charley Keeley, with southpaw for the Hearts against the B. A. c. Joe Kramer of Williamsport may oppose either Gerry Flood of New Britain or Bud Harrington of Bridgeport, while the main game should de- velop a great pitchers battle with Joe Strokalaitis on the mound for the Tommies who will be high-balled by Klinky Klarman, one of New Ha- ven's real standouts. Razor Doran and Dick Tuckey, two heavy hitters are both with the Washington Hills, as is Al Casaly, who may turn out to be the leagues best infielder be- fore the season is out.
 Umps Able
 Umpires include reliable trio bossed by Bill Stanton and includ- ing John Skiddo Dumschott and Jerry Miller, all experienced and able diamond arbiters. Fulton's American band, will lead the parade to the fiagpole for the pennant- raising ceremonies, presided over by President Fitzpatrick and other league officers.
 It looks like sizzling season, with the title games played in the new Municipal Stadium on Watertown avenue.

COMPOSITE MOVIE
IF|LM|SPATENTED
Inventors Claim Film Will
Put Hollywood Action in
! Authentic Scenes.
By THOMAS r. HENRY.

A new process of making composite
pictures which, according to the
claims, will make possible the filming
of a Sahara desert or South Sea
islands drama in Hollywood labora-
tory with the scenic background to
he photographed later on the same
film-thus eliminating costly settings
or the transportation Of actors and
equipment-Was patented this week
by William V. Draper and Frank w,
Young of Palms. Calf
Thus presumably Tahitian film
could be given real Tahitian scenery
without single actor leaving Cali

tographed on the actual battle-ground
of Gettysburg, although all the ''ac-
ton" was staged 1000 miles away.
first and then all the acting superim-
posed upon 1t. or vice versa.
Film Resensitized.
The customary transparent celluloid
film with gelatin emulsion and light
sensitive silver salts is used but the
two inventors describe a process by
which the film can be reSenSitiZed
after it is once used, only the desired
background or foreground being re-
tanned. This is done without recourse
to the blocking-out process ordinarily
used in making composite pictures,
with the result, the inventors claim,
that either the background or the
foreground which is photographed
upon the original picture stands out
as sharply as if both had been photo
graphed together.
by this means it might be possible
even to keep such standard scenery
as that OF New England villages,
World War trenches. etc. in stock"
already filmed. Then it could be used
whenever an appropriate drama was
to be made.
New Drug Patented.
Among the patents for the week was
one given to Erwin c. Kelederer and
Horace A. Shoule of indianapolis for
a number of anti-Streptococcic prep
arations consisting of metallic salt
preparations of variations of the sui
fanilamide formula. One OF these,
according to the claims, is half again
as potent but only One-tifth as poison
Gus as the original Sulfanilamide
The potency of the preparations for
killing 'strep" germs in the blood
stream, according to the claims, has
been thoroughly tested Oh white mice
Two German inventors, Werner
Freyberg and Walter Haupt. patented
a new "gasSing' process for killing
corn beetles which devour stored grain
and which, they claim, causes damage
Of 10o000000 marks a year in Ger
many alone. Hitherto it has been
impossible to kill the insects and their
larvae with poisonous sprays because
these also would poison the grain and
the use of high concentrations of
poison gas has been opposed because
OF its danger. They propose to dis
tribute through the stored grain va
rious phosphate combinat tions in
closed containers These, affected by
the natural moisture of the grain will
produce the deadly phosphine gas in
small quantities over several days
and, the claims state, effectively kill
every one of the pests.
