Durling Suggests Plan of Wagering Which Produces Least Consecutive Losses Editor's note: The modest show bet tor i the man who knows, declares that veteran turf follower, columnist E- V. Darling. This is the third article of his series on "How I Play the Races." By E. V. DURLING In every mail I am in receipt of requests to explain my "sys tem" of wagering on thorough breds. I have no system. I have a basic idea which I am prepared to pass on to those interested in losing less on the races and going home with nearly as much coin of the realm as they brought with them. Or at times actually breaking even or realizing suffi cient profit to pay their ex penses. The idea is this; find a method or plan of wagering which pro duces the least number of con secutive losers. To this apply a simple progression. Playing for show is a method in which the number of consecutive losers are smaller than in most other methods. The impression that players for show are "scared money" types is erroneous. Most of them are very smart fellows of long experience possessed of mathe matical minds, an exceptional knowledge of handicapping and strong character. Thought Erroneous The thought that show betting can only produce small returns is also erroneous. Suppose a fel low bets two dolars to show in each of eight races and ends up winning two dollars. The super ficial thinkers say: "What's two dollars?" However, suppose the same fellow gets serious and bets $50 on each race for show. At the end of the day he is in $50. Or if he gets real serious and bets $100 for show, he is in $100. Not so bad, what? I should say not. Only about one person in 5,"000 leaves a race track with a profit of $100. As previously mentioned it is repeatedly stated that my "sys tem" is to bet on the favorite to show. As I have said, that is not so. I wager on my own selection to show my own opinion as to what is the "solid horse" m the event. That is, the one most likely to get in the money. However, betting on favorites to show is a very good idea for those inexperienced in handi capping. A simple plan of prog ression applied to this gives the bettor a very good chance of breaking even or making a little money and going home from the track relaxed and refreshed in mind and body and ready to en joy a triple highball and a fine dinner. Bad for Digestive System Incidentally, a losing day at the races is very bad for the digestive system. Too many -losing days are likely to give a man ulcers. After dinner following a day at the races I take my cognac and coffee into the living room or my study, light up an ele gant Havana cigar and proceed to check my racing form. Why? Well, sir, I want to find ouj why the horses that won that day or got in the money were able to do so. This practice is very im portant to those wishing to be capable handicappers. It was my Uncle Al, the great est handicapper in our family, who first pointed this out to me. Incidentally, this had a great in fluence in my life from another angle. It inspired me to make a study of the lives of successful From its source to its con fluence with the Mississippi, the Missouri river is 2,945 miles long. Their.combined length ex ceeds any other river system.

Kyle, President men with a view to learning what made them successful. Being especially interested in newspaper work, I read every biography or autobiography dealing with a successful news paperman I could find. I also made an exhaustive and careful study of the work of all success ful columnists. So, sir, if you cannot work up any interest in the past performances of horses, it might be worth your while to study the past performances of men successful in your line of work. What makes a day at the races a trying experience for many people is an inability to make up their mind as to what horse to wager on. For example, they decide on a horse and then change their minds just before placing the wager. Then the, ani mal they first planned to back comes romping In an easy win ner and the horse they switched to ends up an also ran. That is an occurence which really tries a man s soul. Find Selector To Follow It can, therefore, be a very good idea for those who cannot bet with confidence to find a selector to follow. In all major racing centers there is always at least one newspaper handi capper who is a standout. Check all the handicappers and settle on the one that has the least consecutive losers and follow his advice. s It is important to follow a handicapper, who when making his selections knows what jockeys are going to ride the horses entered and who also has been informed as to the scratches. Some selectors are Two Anxious Questions Heard Behind Airplane Factory Doors Editor's note: This Is the last In a series of four articles on the coming age of Jet airplane travel. By GLENN STACKHOUSE United Press Correspondent San Francisco -W The two most anxious questions being whispered behind the "no ad mittance" doors of the world's commercial airplane factories are: "How fast?" and "How soon?" For the public may find itself in the amazing position of being thrust into the era of supersonic flying almost before it has . a chance to get used to the pokey, 600 - mile-an-hour contraptions now aborning. Some of the world's biggest jet-makers, facing a knockdown struggle in domestic and foreign competition, have even stopped whispering and are talking out loud about mach two twice the speed of sound. The latest and probably most significant public statement about the prospects for super sonics came from London recent ly from Sir Miles Thomas, chair man of a government committee set up to study British air trans port. VTO Model Sir Miles' committee recom mended that Britain start de velopment of a 1,500 m.p.h. jet airliner capable of flying at 60, 000 feet and making the London-New York flight in about 2Vi hours. The plane would be a vertical take-off model with a 135-passenger capacity. The committee judged that such an aircraft could capture the "blue ribbon" transatlantic route "within 12 years." This statement from Britain is certain to prod American de Per Annum compelled to make their selec tions without a complete knowl edge of the conditions that will prevail. Also never follow selections for a "fast track" when a "mud dy track" unexpectedly comes up. Needless to say, the condi tion of the track greatly affects the selections. As to following jockeys, the wisdom of such procedure is open to discussion. Most of the advice offered is against it. How ever, situations arise where it merits consideration. The lead ing jockey at a particular meet ing can often be followed with agreeable results. As for ex ample, Willie Shoemaker recent ly at Hollywood Park or Santa Anita. Or the remarkable ap prentice rider, Howard Grant, at the last Monmouth Park meet ing. Worth Watching When a rider "gets hot" he is worth watching and checking on. His confidence is at the peak. He feels lucky. He has his pick of horses. And so on. However, playing one jockey all the time is not good. Even Arcaro has his bad streaks. Ted Atkinson once rode 56 consecutive losers. And so it goes. Nevertheless, as indicated, following a par ticular jockey at the right time can prove quite profitable. This is another situation in which a good simple progression is es sential. What are some "good simple progressions?" I will dis cuss that at our next session. (Tomorrow: The weigh! your horse carries is im portant.) (Copyright, 1957. King' Features Syndicate, Inc.) signers into action. In this country the loudest rumblings of supersonics have come from Boeing and Lock heed. Both firms have indicated they feel that the 1,500-2,000 m.p.h. plane could be in pro duction by 1970. With the exception of British Overseas Airways Corporation, most airline executives register j horror at the suggestion of super sonics oy 13u. They, point to the billion-dollar investment to which the in dustry is already committed in subsonics and the number of years it will take to liquidate that outlay.

Eagle Point Horse Club Sets Rodeo at Camp White Field Eagle Point 4-H horse club, Desert Pegasus, will give a rodeo Sunday, Sept. 8, at Mem orial field at Camp White to help support the United Medford Crusade. The rodeo will start at 1:30 p.m. with the grand entree, fol lowed by the introduction of clubs and leaders, pole bend ing, scurry race, Texas barrel race, square danre on horses, musical chairs, and baton race. Special events will include junior riders under line years of age in Western pleasure. All the games will be played in three age groups, 9 to 13, 14 to 18, and adult. Ribbons and trophies to be awarded will be donated by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, of Eagle Point. ' Starts In February The horse club was started in February with James Dunn and Keith Krambeal as its super visors. So far the group has participated in the Montague Junior Rodeo in California, sponsored a pre-fair horse show in July with other 4-H clubs in the valley in local competition, and took an overnight ridt to the Military Bridge area. Club president is Miss Betty Higday with Miss Norma Noble, vice-president, Bill Morgan, sec retary, and Jim Ackerman, treasurer. There is no admission charge to the Sunday event but dona tions to the United Medford Crusade will be accepted. reach of the passenger's pocket- book. Both Lockheed and Boeing deny this. Hibbard was quoted recently that "the supersonic air liner, when it comes, will be no more costly to operate, per seat mile, than presently designed planes." A Boeing spokesman echoed: "we don't believe in building planes that will cost more to operate than the previous ones." He said Boeing's 707 jet, to be put into service next year, is no more costly to operate than the present piston planes and said the supersonic type "will hold the line." Like it or not, when the needle - nosed, knife - winged supersonics come along, the world's airlines will have to buy them. Autumn Weather Extends To Gulf BY UNITED PRESS - The nation's early autumn weather extended as far south as the Gulf states today and fore casters said the cool air will ling er at least another day. Skies were generally fair and temperatures crisp throughout the region blanketed by cool air, although light showers occured t the south in Florida and along the southeast Gulf . Coast. A 4,000-acre brush fire raged in the Feather River Canyon in the parched interior of Calif ornia north of Sacramento. Aerial tankers helped battle the blaze which closed Alternate Highway 40 and threatened Western Pacific Railway tracks along the river. A dense blanket of smoke billowed over Orville, 15 miles to the west.
