Close Decisions
EALLIBILITY of the h

EALLIBILITY of the human eye
in determining the outcome of
close finishes in horse races was
pointed out recently by Gene Camp
bell, member of the New York rae
ing commission staff, when he stat
ed that 10 dead heats were run in
the u. S. in 1885 and 264 in 1888.
Four years ago the placing of
horses was judged by the human
eye. In 1888 they were placed by
instantaneous cameras. This wide
divergence means that the old time
judges gave the wrong decision an
overwhelming number Of times.
That should give the sports fan
food for thought. If expert judges,
with years of experience, knowledge
and track lore behind them, can be
wrong so much of the time, the av-
erage spectator shouldn't take his
own decisions too seriously.
Close decisions aren't limited 70
the race track. In football, track,
tenniS-any sport you care to name
questions arise as to the judges
decision. 1--WE wuz robbed IL one
Of Americas most Over-used state
ments.
1t might be well to remember that
though officials are prone to err, they
are much closer TO the scene Of &C
ton than the spectator and their de-
cisions, ninety-nine times out Of q
hundred, are as accurate as 10 hui
manly possible.

felt they should control the commit
tee due to the large number of col
lege men on the teams.
1t is to be regretted that the COM
mittee takes this stand. As a bust
ness proposition it leaves little to be
desired as q means to raise money
with which to meet Olympic ex-
penses. No one who could afford
from $1.50 to $500 for q football
ticket would object to paying one
cent extra for such q worthy cause.
On the basis of one cent per ticket
any football game drawing $4,000
spectators-not an unusually large
crowd-would contribute $500 to the
fund. Many games draw almost
twice as many. So it would be a
simple matter to collect the neces-
sary 100000 in four years. Only
800 games with an attendance of
$4,000 each would guarantee IL.

Letters to the Editor
Montgomery Day At
Charles Town

Among our local horsey set much
interest is being manifested by the
proposed compliment the Charles
Town Jockey Club is contemplating
paying to them.
Due to the unusual patronage that
racing town has received in the past
and now is being continued by the
remarkable attendance Of our Mont
gomery County residents up to those
meets in that Mountain Town, the
officers Of that association have in
mind tentative plan as proposed
compliment to the owners and train
ers of our local thorough-breds.
It is understood many plans and
proposals have been considered in an
effort not only to carry out the
primary purpose, but as well pro-
mote the interest Of racing, accord
the men new endeavor, and as well
give the attending public a pleasing
spectacle. The word has come our
way that to this writing the pro-
gram is to accord to Montgomery
County owners one race exclusively
for their horses, with all officials for
that race to be our local men.
Those proposed for these positions
are: Kenneth Lyddane as starter
with Blond Percy as his flag bearer;
Shirley Hays, Buell. Johnson, Vince
Peter, Arthur Beall as Patrol Judges;
Arthur Hershberger, Doc. Hershber-
ger and Doc. Fink as Judges; Doug
Las Diamond, balancing the scales,
and Doc Vinson in charge of the
Mutuels.
Among those owners who now have
a string of steeds in training for this
and other races are Mr.. Red (Cecil)
Allnutt of Glen, Mr.. Edward CASH
ell, from here and far, and Mr..
Brooke Johns, Of Norbeck, of banjo
fame. Those of US who can remem-
Der back two decades ago will recall
the removed racer, Chaplain, owned
by Mr.. "Red." In those days we

sufficient funds have not been forth

Not long ago Arthur Eilers, execu-
tive secretary Of the Missouri Val
ley conference, wanted to add one
penny tax to the price Of each big
college football ticket annually.
Though this would be put into prac-
tice In only the larger schools, the
proceeds would be such that the
committee could forget all about
their money worries.

refused Eilers' offer. At least one
logical reason for the refusal has
