Racing Fans
Given Thrills
On Third Night
Jot Hungerford Hurt;
Lucky Ticket Holders
Make Biggest Returns
Douglas county'i horse raring
fans got plenty of thrills last
night at the fairgrounds, where
the third night of the 10-day
horse meeting was run off before
2,300 spectators.
Besides the meet's leading
Jockey getting hurt, a million to
one chance materialized, and the
biggest return of the session was
made to lucky ticket holders.
Joe Hungerford was thrown
from his horse Lee Moore after
the first race ana sent to Mercy
hospital with a fractured ankle.
Hungerford had . ridden three
winners in the first two days
but the accident puts him out of
commission for the duration of
the session.
In the sixth race the six-horse
field finished the event In the
exact order of their starting
posts, one through six, supposedly
a million to one chance.
Payoff Horse
And in the third race a pavoff
of $16.20 for a $2 ticket was made
for the ripest haul so far this
meeting. Payoffs for win tickets
were good all evening, with one
$9.80 reward, two $7 returns, and
a pair of $6 payoffs, besides the
bieone.
Tonight's racing will complete
the first part of the 10-day run
ning, as Oregon law prohibits
Sunday races. But the track and
the pari-mutuel windows will
open Monday night for business
as usual.
Disabled veterans of both wars
from the Roseburg Veteran's hos
pital will be guests of the Ump
qua Jockey club at the races
Monday night. Approximately
70 vets, expected to attend will
be given box seats.
A five furlong thoroughbred
race has been added to the agen
da for tonight, making eight
races, four quarter horse sprints
and four of the longer thorough
bred variety.
Jockey Strauss Wins
In the opening race last night
Kay Vee, under Jockey Bob
Strauss, broke first and led all
the way to skim across the fin
ish line a one-length winner in a
220-yard quarter horse event. Lee
Moore broke right behind the
victor and held second on the
turn, but Diamond H pulled past
on the stretch, to place. Lee
Moore showed and then dumped
Joe Hungerford.
In the second running, a five
furlong thoroughbred race, Boyn
ton broke after Tets Bets, but
went right to the rail and Into
the lead after the turn, by a
length. Blenvenue was second by

Douglas County
Swimming Meet
Here On Sunday
Douglas county novice swim
mers will be at the Roseburg
pool Sunday night to participate
in the first annual Roseburg
Junior Chamber of Commerce
sponsored all-county swimming
meet.
Roseburg swimming coach Bill
Evans said entries are continu
ing to pour In and a large turn
out of contestants is expected
to be on hand.
Several entries from Drain,
Myrtle Creek and other points
in the county have indicated they
will compete. ,
Coach Evans said the Roseburg
team will have a considerable
turnout for nearly every event.
Highlighting the affair will be
a swimming competition between
the Roseburg team and members
of the Roseburg Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
Chairman Al Hughes, assistant
police chief, said any novice
swimmers in the county are el
igible to enter provided they sign
up by 5 o'clock Sunday. Meet
time is 7:30 p.m.
The swimming meet Is free to
the public.
Roseburg Tennis
Players Split To
Play Two Teams
A young but ambitious Rose
burg Tennis club will divide its
talent this weekend to take on
two opponent teams from out of
town.
The first team will travel to
Med ford to meet a strong city
team, champions in their area.
The second team will play host to
xoncaua on ine local courts.
Roseburg's number one team
will be handicapped somewhat
by the loss of Norman Moore,
city singles champion. Moore
will be in Coos Bay Sunday when
the Squirts Softball team plays
the third in a series of four dis
trict play-off games. Moore will
probably be replaced by Glen
Boyer, and Bill Garrison will
move up to number two position.
Tom Jacobson, Tom Lindbloom,
Don Debernardi and Bob Berrie
are expected to fill out the team
in that order.
The doubles team will probably
pair Jacobson and Garrison In
the first match, Boyer and Lind
bloom second and Debernardi
and Berrie third.
As yet, only four of the usual
six team members are definitely
set for competition In the Yon-calla-Roseburg
matches. These
Include Earl Garrison, Paul Cacy,
Larry Henninger and Marlen
Yoder with the possibility that
Louie Miles and Bert Randall will
fill out the squad. Positions have
not yet been determined.
