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

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.

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

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

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

along the river. A dense blanket
of smoke billowed over Orville,
