PLACING THE RACE HORSES.
How Judges McDowell and Pettingill
 Make Their Rulings-Their Decisions

How Judges McDowell and Pettingill
 Make Their Rulings-Their Decisions
 Rarely Criticised.
 Two men sit in a little covered booth opposite the finish line or imaginary "wire'' at local race tracks and decide the positions of the first three horses in each race and on their rulings depend the fortunes of the betting ring. They are the judges, Clarence Mcdowell and c. H. Pettingill. MT. McDowelrs du- ties are confined to the first two horses while MT. Pettingill picks the third horse in each race.
 When the horses are nearing the f1n- ish the judges stand together behind an iron rod which is in a straight line with similar rod on the other side of the track. This line marks the finish and governs the official result In many in- stances the rulings are made easy by the way the horses are strung out at the end of the race, but more often the finishes are so close that it requires pair of the sharpest eyes to make the correct decision. Several dead heats were run at the recent Brighton meet ing. In each instance Judge Mcdowell caught the two leaders as they passed
 his line of vision, and, as he said after ward, their noses were together not a | whisker separating them.
 When it comes to matter of inches { however, Judges McDowell and Pettin- gill show such keen sight that their rul- | ings are seldom criticised. In order to
 be on the alert and to avoid mistakes they have learned to know every own | CTS colors at glance. From the mo- ment the horses leave the post botl judges watch the race, narrowly follow ing the movements of the leaders and | those close behind so that before the
