Chiefs Lose To Central Point, 1 to 0; Bosox Crowd Yanks For League Lead Locals Garner Only Two Hits Off Gehrman Kraust Yields Only Fivt; Error In Fourth Inning Ltadt To Only Tally By CHUCK PLUMMER The Umpqua Chiefs lost their third league game, their second to Central Point, l-O, Sunday aft ernoon at Central Point. Mel Krause, star hurler for the Chiefs, gave up only five bingles in the thrilling pitchers' duel, but Paul Gehrman, Central Point pitcher, limited the Chiefs to only two hits. The Pointers made the only tally of the contest In the fourth Inning, when Graham reached first on an error by Chiefs' first baseman Norm West. Graham hit to shortstop George Sanders who fielded it cleanly and threw to first, but Went let the ball drop out of his mitt, to leave Graham safely on first. Fawcett then ad vanced Graham to third on a clean single to center field, and, after Adams struck out, McDonald singled to drive in the run. Krause then walked Joe Chez, but a dou ble play, G. Sanders to Koch to West, ended the scoring. Roseburg threatened seriously In the top of the fourth, when Ted Wilson reached first on an error by Cox, Central Point shortstop. Norm West was walked, and, with two away, Hampton loaded the sacks with a single. Barney Koch swung mightly, but forced Hamp ton at second on a fielder's choice. The fourth Inning was the only one in which either team threat ened an uprising, with both pitch ers bearing down In the remain- Ing innings. All seven hits of the game were singles. Central Point's Fawcett led all hitters with two-for-three. Hamp ton and Wilson collected Rose burg's two hits, and McDonald, Chez and Gehrman each hit once for the Pointers. j Krause struck out eight Central Point batsmen and Gehrman fanned five Chiefs.

Cooper Is still optimistic enough to predict that there will be amateurs on the track Wednesday night. "The chance to determine the county's fastest horse is at stake," Cooper reminded, "which should be enough enticement to get plenty of entries, besides the trophies and cooler blanket which are to be awarded."

(AP Wirephotel Dusette Defeats Karlinko; LaBelle Loses To Williams A near-capacity crowd saw popular George Dusette whip Leo karlinko with a pair of powerful full-nelsons on a two-out-of three fall main event of the wrestling card at the Roseburg armory Sat urday night. In the preliminary, meanle Navy Al Williams de feated Pierre LaBelle. Dusette had to toss Karlinko out of the ring twice, before the Russian was sufficiently softened up for easy disposal by the stand ing full-nelson squeeze. The "Mml Russian" evened the score In the second fall with a step-over-toehold, but again in the third stanza, Dusette again utilized the full-nelson, and Kar linko was ready for shipment back to the salt mines. Al Williams helped his cause along by using dirty tactics. Hair pulling and Jabs to the body, when Referee Elton Owen's attention was diverted, aided the rough ex navy man In disposing of LaBelle. In the first fall, Williams tus sled LaBelle for 17 minutes before pinning him with arm-stomps and a hammerlock. The Frenchy came hack with a painful Hungarian leg clutch In the second heat, but he threw caution to the winds In the fi.ial go and Williams again gaine a fall with anoiher series of arm-stomps and a hammerlock, for which he was awarded the verdict.

Lefty Mel Parnell turned In his 18th triumph for the Boston Red Sox with a seven-hitter In the opener against Washington. Dom DIMagglo sparked the Red Sox attatk with a home run in the second game with two mates on base to help Jack Kramer beat the Senators' Paul Calvert.
