grounds.

The position or judge at a horse race is not an enviable one and it is 11p wonder that it is sometimes dif- ficult to secure the right kind of of- ficial. ‘Ilie reason for most of the disputes is the difference in view- point of the judges and spectators regarding the finish of a race. When the dead heat was announced ln the 2:15 trot betwccn Frank J. Ortolan and l-lclcn D. the writer was. sitting almost opposite TllC wire and every- one rlrounli him shouted "lifcll Or- tolan won that 0110."

These differences of opinion are as‘ old oshorse racing. A fcw ycars ago we were racing at IIfllllIlX and canoe through at the rail to win by a head,’ but were astonished to ii-ld that sec-. 0nd position was handed out. We did not say anything because we knew the judges had nothing per- sonal against us and if they made a mItake they could not rectify it af- ter making the announcement. In conversation with Frank Bvuillllel” next day he protested vigorously that second was where we landed. There were two or three other decisions at that meeting that were most unpop- ular with the public, and loud and long vocal disapproval followed. A meeting was held of the Judges and some of the driv s one morning Bi‘

ter discussed fully, and the conclu- sion arrived at was that the only way the judges and public can ar- rive at the some decision is to have the judging done from the same sidc of the truck as the spectators are on.

By Guardian's Speoasl Wire) WIMBLEDON, Eng., July 20—~ Australia's Davis Cup team tonight was prepared to continue its quest for the trophy symbolizing world tennis supremacy by meeting the United States‘ squad ill a series starting tomorrow. Winner of the inlcrznnc series will challenge Great Britain for the cup which she 110W holds.

The 2.12 Class will give the sup- porters of Heatherbell, 2.10, a chance to see him try out against Betty 5., 2.0781, Patrick Direct, 2.10, Lucky Lindy, 2.12, Billy cope. 2.10%, Star D., 2.09%, and several others.

The 2.26 Trot and Pace, with four seconds allowed trotters, will have at least a dozen eligihles. While it would have been nice to have separ- ated the trotters and pacers, (and I believe Jim tried hard to figure it out) yet with three events, as we Capt. R.

Jr.. the singles players, and George M. Lott, Jr.. and Lester R- Stoefcn, the doubles team, would squeeze through lhrcc matches to two.

Williams anticipates an easy vic- tory for Lott and Stocfcn over the Australian combination of Jack Crawford and Adrian Quist, and looks for singles victories over Viv- ian McGrath by Wood and Shields.

One thing that struck us at Nor- tham, particularly on Wednesday, was that we did not notice, although we had a good vantage point, a. sin- gle man or boy try to Bel- lnio U10 grounds without paying, although they were protected with wire fences only. It is striking evidence of the honesty and spirit of fairness which govern the people of that vicinity.

One of the biggest prices on the Grand CircuIt this season was Pflld by Fay Mack when she raced second m Reynolds. in the 0118111118 heat 01 the Three Year Old Trot at North Randall last week. A two dollar bill paid dividends of two hundred and thirty-two dollars and twenty cents.

The most speed shown by a pacer in a race on the Grand Circuit this season was the display put on by Baldwin at North Randall. In the first heat he was lapped on the win- ner in two minutes aftcr having gone the overland route. Ill the second heat he wcnt to the quarter in 28-h, the half in 580i, the three-quarters in 1.30. to be again at the winner's nose in 2 minutes. Baldwin had the misfortune to get into the hands of an owner driver whose ideas are to rush away at full sptrd no matter what position is drawn. The result is the little pacer expands his ener- gies without getting proper reward.
