NEW YORK, March 13.-There1l
be no more arguments over whether
the inside or outside horse wins in
photo finishes or arguments over the
timing Of horse races If New York
electrical engineer has his way.
Henry Belock, 34-year -old veteran
engineer in the motion picture and
radio fields, has, after five years of
experimenting. perfected a camera
and timing system that he believes Is
fool proof. He has interested East
ern racing officials in his invention.
New Process Employed.
The camera, the inventor claims,
eliminates, to an extent greater than
other cameras. the possibility of
producing a photograph Of two
horses crossing the finish line to-
gether, and the tendency to show the
horse nearer the camera as the one
closest to the finish line. The result
has been obtained through the use
of the new scanning process and of
film moving at approximately the
same rate Of speed as the horses
and in the same direction.

the outdoor season with varying out
looks, the diamonders anticipating
its tough schedule with comprehen-

he probably will lean heavily on
sophomore talent in developing his
team. Although he will have eight
lettermen returning, Tebell is dubi-
Gus over his pitching prospects.
Archie Hahn, who has tutored
Cavalier track teams for 10 years,
says his distribution Of material in
both running and field events is
good and expects Virginia to defend
its State title.
Tebell will fashion a sophomore

two years, to be switched to an out
field post If the sophomores make
good.

Dykes Hopes Hur|ers
Will Regain Their
Old Efficiency
Shoky Season Like Lost
Is Prospect; Walkers
Illness q Worry
BY ROBERT MYERS.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PASADENA, Calf, March 49,
Endowed with more brains than
talent, the Chicago White Sox face
an uphill battle If they are to escape
from the second division of the
American League this year.
Beset with hard luck from the very
start of the 1888 campaign, which
ended with the pale hose in sixth
place, the 1899 season seems des-
tined to be another shaky one unless
some of the possibilities blossom
into actualities and lend hand to
smart-maneuvering Jimmy Dykes.
Manager Dykes, man who seems
to work with front office behind
him (by several laps), has hopes
that his pitchers, notably John
Whitehead, Clint Brown, Thornton
Lee and a couple of others, will re-
turn to the form they once dis
played.
These hurlers, together with the
old standby, Ted Lyons, and Art
Herring, who won 16 and lost s
with st. Paul last year; Vic
Frasier, who won II and lost 7 with
the same outfit, and another hope
or so loom as the best bets for the
Sox pitching. Few around the camp
believe that plucky Monty Stratton
can deliver the goods this year de-
spite the brilliant young Texans
VOW to try. Stratton, mainstay Of
the staff in 1888, lost leg in q
hunting accident this winter.
Connors Brightest Prospect.
Brightest hope among the few
newcomers is Merv Connors, who
Joined Chicago late last season and
exhibited rare hitting prowess. The
Strapplng youngster may not be
good enough to GUST Joe Kuhel from
the first-base position, but his field
ing Is improving and eventually he
may become as valuable, and as
colorful, as the one-time pride of
south Chicago fans, Zeke Bonura.
The outfield will remain about the
same, with Gerald Walker, Mike
Kreevich, Henry Steinbacher and
Rip Radcliff taking care of the gar
ASAAs DyhCo 44AoA1 SOllSCl1l klC4C ID
that Walker, .305 hitter last year
and noted as an "early spring" bat
ter, will be far behind the rest of the
club in training because of an at
tack of influenza, while Radclih,
who batted $3.50 last season, is a late
hitter, usually going into his heavy
stick work after the others have
fired their best bolts.
Second Base Still q Worry.
There's further worry at second
base, not to mention the possibility
that Luke Appling's once broken
ankle might fold again and leave a
wide gap at shortstop. Jack Hayes,
the regular second sacker, won't be
ready for the opening game, due to
a knee operation, and while Eric
Boob McNair, bought from Bos-
ton. will take over the job, he Is q
natural shortstop and hardly up to
the standard of Hayes. Also &C.
quired to protect the infield was
Ollie Bejma, brought back to the
majors after a fine year with
st. Paul.
Luke Sewell, longtime "old reli-
able" of the catching staff, is gone,
and the Job is open to battle be-
tween George Rensa, Mike fresh,
Ken Sylvestri and Norman Schlue-
ter. The coming exhibition games
with the Chicago Cubs and Pitts
burgh out here probably will decide
which three will stay with the club.
