Hehcopter to Check Races AtRockinghan1

Salem, N. H., June % - Lou Smith of Rockingham Park, who yesterday electrified the turf world with his announcement that aerial movies will be made of the running of the races at the old Rock, today expanded his revolutionary idea with the further announcement that R. Norman Charlton, we'll known racing official, will become the first flying steward in the cen- turies-old history of the sport.
 Experiments conducted here in secrecy with an S-51 helicopter pro- vided by the Sikorsky Aircraft Di- vision of the United Aircroft Corp oration prove conclusively that movies can be made and fouls clear ly detected from the air. -flivver fly ing as low as 50 feet above the thoroughbreds.
 Further reflnements now are be- ing added by Sikorsky engineers, who are designing 8 special observ- ation cabin for the cameraman and are anchoring the camera to the helicopter. There is every confidence that it will be perfected before the summer meeting at the Rock, which starts next Monday and lasts seven weeks, has come to an end, and that it will be the answer of the prayers of racing promoters for a success full moving picture version of each race.
 War Ace
 In addition to the movies, Judge Charlton, a flying ace for Canada in World War I, will take to the skylanes once again and observe the running of the races from aloft. In the test races held here last week jockeys were ordered to snatch sad- dle cloths, hook legs, and indulge in conduct unbecoming to a jockey. The fouls, clearly visible to the naked eye and reproduced faithfully on the film, are glaring apparent from one-hight-up, and this com- bination of aerial photography and a flying steward may be the greatest forward step ever known to racing.
 The gyro-foto will not be used, naturally, until it is perfected. A public test will be made during the second week of the meeting, but both Sikorsky officials and Lou Smith are confident that it will be in daily operation before the sum- ner meeting comes to its end on August A.

Be patient for another day or SO, and watch the Democrat for your time and place to play; as the teams are already paired and were published last June 6 in the Democrat; but will be published again probably tomorrow.
 Careful On Protests
 One word on protests! Claims of more than one player a year above the age limit of the league have been made; but a protest must be accompanied by $5 protest fee; presented in' writing and PROOF shown, before it can be acted upon. However, if teams are using older players than they are entitled to, and when playoff time comes around, BIRTH CERTIFICATES will be required; and disqualifica- ton will be quick for the entire team if ONE PLAYER is found out of order.

Peter and Paul school, 8 to 5.
 A record crowd for a schoolboy game saw the public and parochial champions have 1t out. Driggs came through with blazing "a finish for runs in the last two innings, giving them an 8-2 lead which was chopped down by . three-run rally of the east enders in the last half of the last inning for an 8-6 final score.
 The losers have won 13 of 15 games this season, which in itself is an excellent record for any team of grammar school age.
 Most Happy
 Principal John Brophy and Coach Henry Sabia of Driggs were most happy with the final result, as their boys had to beat one of the best Parochial outfits of recent years; held to i've hits by Sal Corbo and Doug Richardson, the latter reliev- ing his teammate in the second in- ming, and pitching fine ball for the next live innings. Ronnie Ouelette lasted until the final inning when Jimmy Kelly, southpaw was called in for St. Pete's after Santore sim gled, Richardson doubled, stole third base and scored the second run of the final inning on a passed ball.

Hughson Beats Teller and Hutchinson
BY JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Sports Writer

'Boston, June 26 - (UP) - Cecil Carlton Hughson, known to his Bos- ton Red Sox' teammates as Tex" and to the rest of the American League as poison, was the hottest" pitcher in the Majors today, boast ing two successive low-hit shutouts.
 Victory over Bob Teller with a three-hit job his last time out, Hughson whiteWaShed the world champion Detroit Tigers yesterday 1 to 0 on only two hits. The victory was his fourth in row and his seventh of the season against four Setbacks. Rivals haven't scored run off him in his last 28 innings.
 He had to win this one himself because his mates jsuccumbed to an acute attack of batting paralysis.
 Walks I'm Run
 In fact, the oniy support Hughson got was from his mound rival, Fred die Hutchinson of the BengalS. Hutch" who tossed a heartbreaking two-hitter himself, obligingly walk ed George Metkovich, Johnny Pesky, Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr with twoI out in the eighth to force in the winning run.
 That was plenty the way Hugh son was going. He famed five men and didn't let anybody get beyond first base until the ninth inning. Then pinch-hitter Roy Cullenbine drew a walk, was sacrificed to sec- ond and moved to third on an in- field out. That put 1t up to Jimmy Outlaw, and Hughson got him on a line drive to Doerr at second base for the final out.
 Metkovich'S double and Doerr's single were the only Boston hits.
 Fans Turn Out
 Meanwhile, the Boston Braves dropped their first contest in six starts as Claude Passeau hurled 7-3 triumph for the Chicago Cubs in night game. Despite the loss, the Braves had the satisfaction of See- ing their 1946 attendance go over the 100000 mark as 34,681 cash cuS- toners watched the game.
