When Do the Belling Customer Get a Break?
Now that it's all over and both State Fair and racing effi- '
' clals have counted their juicy take from the record-busting bet
ting during the week, we wonder when same officials will get ;
; down to the long overdue chores that will provide the Lone Oak
''" track customer with a better shake than he's been getting.
Attendance and wagering-for the 7-day meet were grand. So was
the weather. And those holding tickets on the winning long shots and
fat quiniellas felt no pain. But the way in which the week-long pro
gram was run was nothing short of atrocious at times. Strictly bush
: league, so to speak, and not at all becoming alongside the manner
In which the money-spending public battled the betting windows.
Perhaps the worst part of the entire pitch was the lousy
- condition of the track itself. It got so bad one day that even the j
jockeys refused to ride until two bad holes were filled. It was ;
another of these inexcusable holes that cost Owner A. L. Pow-
T rie his fine two-year-old Country King during a Thursday race. ;
The horse was out in front by four lengths and breezing to a
win coming around the last turn when it suddenly hit a stretch
of soft dirt almost a foot deep, feU into the railing, ripping al
most 30 feet of it out, and almost killed itself and Jockey Mc
t Gahan.
The pride of the Powrie stable "the finest two-year-old I've
ever raised," is the way the veteran owner pui u wui never rcj
again because of frightful wounds suffered in the spill. Powrie was
so angry he actually threatened to sue the State Fair. McGalhan
came back to ride one more mount that afternoon, but the next day
announced helwas quitting the saddle for keeps. That spill convin
' ced the 33-yeaJr riding vet he's had enough. .
Z There were other instances of horses stepping in holes and
'' stumbling during the week also.
Dropped Reins, Stirrups Prove Costly
Then there were the two Incidents of Saturday, the final j
' day, when betting favorites ran completely out of the money be-
cause one rider, lost his reins and another his stirrups. The lat- .
ter was a 3 5 shot, natch. In the first case the rein -less boss
bumped into another favorite and knocked it completely out of
the race also. '
Hundreds of dollars were lost by the customers betting on the
favorites in those two races, vet not even an apology was given them
by governing officials. Have you ever heard of such goings-on at
- other race traeks? We haven t.
And then there was the jockey who was allowed to ride one
of the favorites one day when he was "drunk with an over
dose of pep-producing pills. He's the same lad who lost his reins,
and in so doing fouled up another favorite in the same race.
He also drew a 10-day suspension for the- incident when he was
given a physical checkup after the race, upon Chief Steward
Cecil Edwards orders. Edwarfls accused the boy off having over
loaded himself with the special pills, causing a sort of intoxica-
' tlon, and slapped him with the suspension.
Yet the folks who bet their money on that particular horsed
: and the other one victimized by it all in the same race, were actual-
; ly the ones left holding the you-know-what They got nothing back
not even an explanation.
Horse racing is a big part of the yearly expositions here.
Yet the way in which it is handled certainly tends to lead one
to believe that those in charge of it don't give a hoot for the
money-spending folks who make it pay just so long as they
continue to throw their money through the pari-mutuel ma
chines ...

The Spokane Indians caught
the town Senators with one of
their common late-season diseases
in full bloom last night"at Waters
Field, pasted the punchless resi
dent crew 3-2, and went 3-2 ahead
in the battle for the Western In
ternational League pennant.
The Senators, having muffed
the big one last night, are now
but one defeat away from being
kayoed in their effort to take the
first championship in local pro
fessional history. They'll attempt
to even it up again tonight at
7:30 o'clock, with Lefty Dave
Dahle, he of the sharp earned
run average but few wins, oppos
ing Virgil Giavonnoni, Tribe
righthander. -
Dahle topped the Indians 4-3 in
the second game at Spokane,
while the Italian hurler owns a
4-2 nod over Salem as a result of
the series opener.
If his mates don't succeed in
getting the southpaw any more
runs than they did during the
regular campaign, chances are
good that the series will end to
night
rroaucing runs, despite one
opportunity after another, was
comparable to moving a mountain
for the Solons last night Their
LOB-itis malady saw them leave
an even dozen runners stranded,
and the two tallies they did get
were unearned.
Don Osborn's Spokes were little
more efficient, leaving 10 to suf
focate on the bases. The numer
ous expectancies in the clash did
make for a tense, dramatic battle,
however, and the fourth straight
in which a game has been decided
by one run.
Joe Nicholas inability to get
Big Will Hafey out and to get
the ball over while pitching to
George New, second Spokane
hurler of the night, cost him the
verdict Hafey slammed Joe's
first pitch in the second inning a
mile over the right field fence
for a home run, and tripled to
lead off the sixth, clouting
another howitzer to center. He
scored soon after on Jimmy
Bron's line-out to Chuck Essegian
in deep left
Those bits of business tied the
score at 2-all, the Salems having
scored in the first and second
innings on Ralph Romero, spec
tacled righthander.
Actually he Senators should
have had a hat full off Romero,
as they loaded the bases the
first three-innings on an assort
ment of five hits, two errors and
three walks. Yet they managed
to leave six potential runs to die,
and were it not for the bobbles,
they wouldn t have scored.
An opening error on Jimmy
Deyo's grounder by Brown, fol
lowed by Boss Hugh Luby's sin
gle and Gene Tanselli'f bunted
hit filled 'em up to start with.
Deyo scored when Connie Perez
forced Tanselli at second. Neither
Jerry Ballard nor Les Wither
spoon could come through there
after, and Romero got out of the
mess.
Two walks and an error by Ro
mero while fielding Nicholas'
bunt jammed 'em up again in the
second, with Chuck Essegian
scoring finally on Luby's short
fly to right field. Stan Palys
throw to the plate was a strike
that would have cut down Esse
gian easily, but First-sacker Carl
Bush cut it off for some second
guessable reason.
The Salems picked up three
base hits and a walk in the third,
knocking Romero out No runs
scored, for Perez was cut down
trying to steal second base, and
Don Masterson, batting for Bob
Nelson when the portsiding
George New replaced Romero,
grounded into a double play.
Another Spokane dee-pee
wrecked an uprising in the
fourth, Palys' running catch of
Essegian's long drive to right
center subdued another in the
fifth, and the inability to bunt
the baU safely killed off addi
tional chances in the seventh and
eighth.
, Luby's fourth hit of the night,
followed by a painful pitch that
hit Perez on the elbow, had two
more runs aboard in the ninth.
Osborn pulled in Righthander
Bill Franks to pitch to Ballard
with two out, and Jerry ended
the fruitless sortie by grounding
into a force play.
The winning Spokane run came
in the ninth, just as it did Sunday.
Nicholas walked New (for the
second straight time) to start
with, but both Joe and Catcher
Masterson figured Plate Ump Art
Jacobs helped the pass immensely
via two bad calls on pitches. The
crowd thought so too.
At any rate Eddie Murphy sac
rificed New to second, and he
scored easily as Wilbur Johnson
grounded a single to right, just
inside the bag.
Salem had 11 hits, four by Luby
and three by Withers poon. Spo
kane had 10, four by Hafey.
Masterson came through with two
heads-up throws to cut down Spo
kane runners in the fifth and
eighth, hauling Nicholas out of
trouble, and Tanselli came up
with a spectacular play on Palys
grounder in the fifth to further
nullify what would - have been
much woe. . . . The 2,778 crowd
hiked the series five-game total
to 1349. . . . -
