I i t t j j 3 j i 1 OKLAQUEEN FURNISHES UPSET j Four-to-One Chance at Shreveport Despite Good Record. Triumph, Fourth of Meeting for Daughter of Docod-Spotover Toneys Tomboy Second. SHREVEPORT, La., Nov. 16. Continuing to perform in consistent fashion, C. E. Woodmans eight-year-old chestnut mare, Okla-queen defeated eight others in the Dixie Purse, fourth and principal race on this afternoons program at the State Jockey Clubs course. Toneys Tomboy finished second, two and a half lengths in the wake of the winner and Semicolon was a fast finishing third. The triumph was the fourth of the meeting for the daughter of Docod Spotover, in six trips to the starting gate, and she took rank with the most consistent racers at the local course. Despite the fact that she had three previous victories to her credit, Okla-queen was somewhat overlooked in the betting and returned odds of 4 to 1, to those who supported her. Ideal weather conditions prevailed for the presentation of the seven-race fare and one of the largest week day crowds of the twenty-five-day autumn meeting attended. Mrs. Edna Orbs six-year-old chestnut gelding, Idle Worker, made it two consecutive victories when he accounted for the Washington-Youree Hotel Purse, fifth race on the card which was decided at six and a half furlongs. Polite Ann finished second and Harrys Choice landed in the third slot. Well handled by jockey Billy Joe Cassity, Idle Worker was away in motion and lost no time in opening up a decisive lead, adding to his margin as the race progressed. SUN MARTIN BEST. Making his first start in the colors of Kenneth Cronk, Sun Martin accounted for the opener a dash of about five furlongs which brought a field of eight. Magic Winnie finished second two lengths in the wake of the winner, and Flo Meadows was third. Forging to the front in the first three furlongs of the sprint, Sun Martin never left the result in doubt at any stage of the contest. j Nahallac, from the stable, of Mrs. M. S. Fritz, accounted for his second victory of the meeting, in the second, another contest at a distance of about five furlongs. Indiana Maid was second, and Thresher third. Rushed into the lead soon after the field was dispatched, Nahallac showed the way throughout, shaking off early challenges and drawing clear in the final furlong, to win by two lengths. The winner was favorite, and her success proved quite popular. Strongly ridden by Jorga Alfonso, Cuban Continued on twentu-sixth page. OKLAQUEEN FURNISHES UPSET Continued from first -page. Jockey, Mrs. J. Goodwins Lernana was returned the winner of the third race by a margin of a nose over Sleepy Irish after withstanding a hard stretch drive. Virgin March was a tiring third. Lernana moved up with a rush on the inside after going a half mile, drew into a comfortable lead quickly but, bearing out on the final turn, was collared and had to be roused in the final stages to hold Sleepy Irish safe in the drive through the stretch.
