Crack Sprinters Meet
In Paumonok at
Jamaica Opening
Special Dispoteh 10 The stor

JAMAICA, N. Y, Mar. 81
Older sprinters will have the spot
light tomorrow in the Paumonok
Handicap, the 6-furlong. $25,0oO
dash that features Jamaica S
opening card ushering in New
York's 196-day turf season.
Better Self, King Ranch's good
mudder, corralled most railbirds'
interest earlier this week by his
excellent workouts over sloppy
track. However. with better
weather forecast for tomorrow, a
fairly open race seems probable.
with My Request attracting a lot
of attention.
Better Self won the Paumonok
two years ago when his bid for
3-year-old honors were frustrated
by Citation. Better Self ran well
only in spots last year but he
wintered well in South Carolina
and seems sharp. He gets into
tomorrow's headliner at 119.
My Request, Ben Whitaker's
good chestnut, was third in the
Paumonok last year and will carry
top weight of 125 pounds tomor-
row if Royal Governor, assigned
l26, is scratched. My Request
seems to like the Jamaica course,
for in 1948 he won both ends of
the Experimental Handicap and
the Wood Memorial here.
But If that is a good omen Fred
Hooper's Olympia also must be
reckoned with tomorrow for he
also won the two Experimentals
and the Wood last season and will
carry 124 pounds. Neither Olym-
pia nor My Request Jared we'll in
California last winter but have
shown good form since arriving
here.
Other outstanding candidates in
the Paumonok will be Arise (118)
which was beaten narrowly by
Royal Governor In the Widener
at Hialeah, Delegate (122) who
tied in balloting for the sprint
championship with Royal Cover
nor last year and Greentree
Stables Wine List. Hedley Wood
house will ride Delegate and Ted
Atkinson will have the mount on
Wine List.
Other probable starters include
Equinox II, Yankee Hill, Mr.. Ace,
Eatontown, Rookwood and Sal
magundi.

1t has been good many years
since young Irishman by the
name of Art Rooney from the
ould sod of Pittsburgh made the
killing at Saratoga that set the
sports world bug-eyed and con-
jured up remembrances of Bet
a-Million" Gates, Diamond Jim
Brady and other plungers. Now
much wiser but still fun-loving,
Rooney, owner of the football
Steelers, was talking about those
days of the mid-1930s during a
visit to the Laurel race track
yesterday.
How much he won or lost, how
much of the yarn is truth or pure
fabrication probably never will be
known. Art won't tell because
the story is too good to spoil.
II think Bill Corum started it, I"
just to rib George Marshall about
how much money won," he said.
II made couple of good bets but
some of the newspaper stories
were fantastic.
Crowd Followed Him.
"They had oral betting in New
York then and every time went
near a bookie a crowd would rush
up to hear what I was betting on.
OF course, I had as many losers
as the next fellow.
"It got so bad one newspaper
assigned a reporter to go to track
with me and give it's readers
bet-by-bet description. I played
four horses and the reporter bet
$40 of his own money on eac.s
one and all four lost. But the
bannerline next morning said:
Rooney Murders Bookies Again"
II asked the reporter why he
wrote that stuff when he bet the
same horses and lost $40 of his
own money" Rooney said. "He
said, Look as long as you keep
winning you're hot news and good
copy for us. When you get cold,
you'll be forgotten >"
Bill Corum, one of the country's
top sportswriters and the new
president of Churchill Downs,
authored the original story.
Right or wrong about Rooney's
winnings. it was a corking good
yarn.

The man who gives you all the
winners at Laurel is blond, per-
sonable Ray Haight. He gives you
the place and show horses, too,
because it's his job. Ray is the
rich, baritone voice behind the
amplifying system microphone.
You may have heard OF his pop,
Walter Haight, racing editor OF
the Post. who formerly did the
announcing at Laurel. Track Of
ficials heard Ray call a program
last October and decided to make
a change. But there's a story be-
hind the story.
Ray was 16 when he made his
first visit to a race track. At 235
pounds, without blinkers, he was a
model of Papa Haight. if you know
what mean. Walter was making
charts at a half mile plant and
drafted Ray to take the calls. All
chart callers now and then miss a
horse in large field. They skip
it" and by process of elimination
fill in the name later. Haight,
ST., missed twice that day.
'Pop." said Ray with unfeigned
disgust, 'if you can't see any bet
ter than that give me the glasses
and let me call 'em for you"
Was Interrupted Career.
Young Haight's racing educa-
ton was temporarily interrupted
by an invitation to join the 82d
Airborne Division, which whitfield
him down to trim 158 pounds.
He fought in the Battle of the
Bulge. collected his share of CAM
paign ribbons, plus a legful of
shrapne1, and when he came home
Ray was as unsettled as Wash
ington weather. He returned to
Coolidge High School long enough
to get his diploma.
For want OF something more
entertaining to do. Ray went back
to the races with his father one
afternoon and what happened
thereafter reads like a Horatio Al
ger yarn. Passing over the de-
tails, the then 21-year-old young
ster (Ray's a ripe old % now

What's the Origin?

@. The word score" has caused a
lot of speculation in my English
class. Will you please Colby-ize it
for us?-Mrs. H. T. j.
A. Let us begin with the original
middle English word scor, "a notch
cut on a stick" Centuries ago,
when trading was very elemental,
buyers and sellers kept a record Of
transaction by scoring (notching}
one edge of a piece of wood. The
notches represented the number Of
hides, cattle or other goods sold or
traded. The stick was split length
wise 30 that the notches on each
piece corresponded exactly, the
buyer taking one piece and the
seller keeping the other. Thus no
later dispute could arise, for each
party to the transaction could prove
his score correct by simply fitting
the split pieces together again.
Such Q scored stick was also callet
