1 FREE TO MOVIE WORLD LATONIA, Ky., Oct. 31. The public interest is so keen in the Latonia Championship Stakes, to be run Saturday, November 3, in which Zev will meet My Own and In Memoriam, that the firms that make a specialty of picturing big events have made tempting offers to the Kentucky Jockey Club for the exclusive right to photograph the race. The propositions reach into the thousands, but general manager Winn has rejected them all. In a statement today. Col. Winn said : "I have refused all offers from the moving picture people to purchase the photographic rights for the Latonia Championship Stakes. The moving picture managers have done so much in an educational way to present leading events to the public, always featuring great races like the Kentucky Derby and the Champion-, ship, that I have decided to open the gates to their representatives free of all charges. There is such a wide public interest in the Latonia Championship Stakes that I want all lovers of the thoroughbred everywhere, who will not be able to reach Latonia, to have the pleasure of seeing the race of the year on the silver screen."
