else happened.
As lor the results themselves,
Brooklyn sneaked past the Giants
7-6 in New York; the Cards shut
out Cincinnati 4-0 in St Louis;
Washington gained revenge lor its
one-sided defeat by the Yankees
Monday, thrashing the World
Champions 9-1; Detroit defeated
the White Sox in Chicago 5-2
and the Cleveland Indians posted
a 4-0 triumph over the St. Louis
Browns.
In other games, the Philadel
phia Phillies had a successful
home opener as they whipped
the Boston Braves 3-1, and Pitts
burgh did likewise with a 3-2
win over the Chicago Cubs, the
Red Sox and Philadelpria Ath
letics were idle.

errors and scored on a passed ball
at home.
Roseburg added a third tally in

error, Weaver hitting, and both

Stojack to Defend
Wrestling Title In
Tilt With Dusette
One of the greatest wrestling
matches in local history will be
presented to Douglas County mat
followers at the Roseburg Arm
ory Saturday, when Frankie Sto
jack of Taeoma defends his Pa
cific Coast junior heavyweight
championship against the chal
lenge of Georges Dusette, muscu
lar French-Canadian. The title tilt
will be the top-billed bout of a
double main event, which also
includes a one-hour battle be
tween Gust Johnson, the Seattle
schoolmaster, and Glen Knox, the
rugged villian from Tennessee.
Matchmaker Don Owen pre
dicted the Stojack-Dusette match
will be one of the greatest ex
hibitions of dynamic and scien
tific grappling seen in the Pa
cific northwest in years, and a ca
pacity crowd is almost certain to
pack-jam the local arena. Fan
are warned to make ringside res
ervations. Dusette, who possesses the
most powerful shoulder end arm
muscles in the business, gualtled
for the title tilt here several
weeks ago by defeating the veter
an Finnish ace, Paavo Katonen.
The engagement will be one of
Stojack's infrequent title defens
es. The Tacoma cabinet maker H
a former Washington State Col
lege athlete, an all-star football
guard at Pullman and an inter
collegiate light - heavyweight
champion who never suifered a
defeat in his college career. As a
professional football player, Sto
jack picked up the nickname of
"Tuffy" because he played four
years of pro football without suf
fering an injury.
Stojack possesses one of the
finest airplane spins ever em
ployed in the sport. Although he
has a well-founded attack and is
a.fine defensive maUnan, the spin
is his main forte.
Dusette, who uses a full-Nelson
as his chief threat, claims he is
able to withstand Stojack's spin
because of his experience as an
aviator and has been in many
spins while piloting planes. Sto
jack, on the other hand, said if
Dusette does not fall victim to
