Like the tree, pennant talk l
blooming In Brooklyn once again.
Preacher Roe, 31-year-old left
hander of the Dodgers, is respon
sible for the fanning of the Dodg
er pennant flames.
The Dodger outlook was gloomy
until Roe, working with only two
days' rest, beat the league-leading
St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, at
Ebbcts field last night in the sec
ond half of a doubleheader.
Stan Musial and associates
took the first game, 5-3, to move
three games ahead of the Brooks,
extend a Brooklyn losing streak
to four games and bring the un
dertaker to the door.
Old Preach, a former Red Bird
got off to a rocky start. Musi:il
tagged him for a two-run homer
In the first Inning. The blow was
the Card star's 22nd.
Lefty Howie Pollett blanked the
Dodgers over the first three in
nings, but in the fourth the Dodg
ers came to life and solved him
for two runs. In the fifth, Carl
Furillo doubled home Peewee
Reese with the run that gave the
Brooks a 3-2 lead.
The Cards quieted the crowd
In the sixth, as Enos Slaughter,
the other Dodger tormentor, sin
gled home Nippy Jones to tie the
score nt 3-3.
Roe tightened up and held the
Cards hit loss the rest of the way,
but not so Pollet. The 16-game
winner pave up the winning run
in the eighth inning with one out,
yielding consecutive doubles to
Roy Campanclla and Duke Snider.
The victory was Roe's tenth com-

Boston Red Sox were upset oy
the seventh place Browns, 5-4,
at St. Iouls. The third place
Cleveland Indians bowed, 4-2, to
the tail-end Washington Sena
tors at Cleveland.
Lefty H.n Newhouser, wilh the
aid of home runs by Pat Mullin,
Vic Wert, and Eddie Lake, stop
ped the Yanks, who still lead the
circuit by two and one-half games.
Jack Graham's 2()th home run
of the season ruined the Red
Sox. Graham connected w ilh one
on in the eighth off Chuck Stohhs
to enable the Browns to over
come a 4-3 deficit.
Rae Scarborough cooled off the
Indians, yielding only six hits to
snap Washington's 11 game los
ing streak.
The Philadelphia Athletics re

night at Medford.
The two winners play for the
Shaughnessy cup. while the two
losers play for the consolation
award.
Although Ashland and Central
Point were tied for second place,
Roseburg, the number one team,
drew Central Point, which was
adjudged the number three team
on a technicality resulting from
a league game between Central
Point and Crescent City being
forfeited to Central Point.
According to Manager Earl
Sargent of the Chiefs, Ashland
was boosted to the number two
spot, as Central Point, due to the
forfeiture, only played 13 games
to Ashland's 14. Manager Sar
gent argues the technicality is in
valid, but he said the league ad
ministrators saw it differently.
This puts Roseburg in the un
enviable position of having to
start the Shaughnessy play
against a team that has defeated
them twice in league competition.
Sunday's game at Flnlay field
will be a crucial one for the
Chiefs, the Pointers, and especial
ly their pitcher Gehrman, who
has proved adept at setting the
Rosenurg players on their col
lective ears in the past.
Sunday's contest may develop
Into a pitchers battle between
Mel Krause or Don Reed and
Gehrman. Gehrman Is reportedly
pacing Krause as the top hurler
in the league, on the basis of in
complete returns of a vote taken
by players and sports writers in
the league.
Highlighting the action Sunday
will be the presentation of the
league trophy to the Chiefs and
another trophy to be presented
by Sam's Sporting Goods store at
Medford.
Sunday's game at Finlay field
starts at 2 p. m.

Top Payoff Of
Meet Made On
22-To-One Nag
Be Queen Contributes To
Fat Plum; Mile-And-Half
Event Slated Tonight
By FRED TAYLOR
Be Queen, a 22-to-one shot,
came home in front in the sec
ond race at the fairground's track
last night, to pay the meet's
biggest returns, and figure in the
first daily double payoff of the
meet, a Juicy $102.35 plum.
Forty-four hundred spectators
saw Ihe victor paid $51.40 for win
ducals, $16.80 for place, and $5.10
for show, for a handsome return
all around. Combining with the
winner of the first race, Blen
venue, the pair formed the largest
payoff yet made on the Roseburg
track, and the first daily double.
Daily doubles and quinellas will
be staged through the rest of
the meeting. Two quinellas were
bet last night, on the fifth race,
returning $6.40, and on the sev
enth, paying off $5.90.
Tonight two special races will
be offered. Tne Roseburg Mara
thon, a mile and a half gallop
for the thoroughbreds, will be
run, and the fiflh race is the
Sheriff Bud Carter purse, a mix
ed race wilh thoroughbreds and
quarter horses over a three
eighths of a mile course.
Last Event Major Thriller
Most thrilling race of the eve
ning probably was the last event,
a mile and one-sixteenth grind
for the thoroughbreds. The favor
ite. Ron Vill. closed at four to
I five odds, with Border Gypsy
second choice at three to one.
Bon Vill broke first from the
gale, but Border Gypsy flashed
ahead on the stretch to lead by
half a length, with Gordon's Gift
second and Quit That third on
the front stretch. Rounding tho
lurn Quit That moved out in
front by half a length, with
Border Gypsy in second and Bon
Vill third. But coming Into the
home stretch Bon VIII started
pounding ahead, swishing past
Border Gypsy and Quit That,
who dropped to third.
The winner, well ridden bv
Jockey Clyde Wright, paid $3.90.
Time was 1:56.9, and the com
bination of Bon Vill and Border
Gypsy on the quinella paid $5.90.
The first race wasn't much of a
contest, as Bienvenue made it
evident from the start who the
best horse was, breaking into the
lead and stretching it to four
lengths on the backstretch. Lou
Manners closed the gap to two
lengihs coming home, but that's
as close as the mare got.
Bienvenue, under Jockey Bob
Strauss, the meet's leading rider
with nine winners now, paid
$6.70 for win tickets. Lou Man
ners paid $6.20 to place, and the
even money favorite, Bobby Ef
fort, returned $2.50 for show
money. This was an eight-horse
field, over five furlongs.
Long Shot Triumphs
In thj second, a 440-yard quar
ter horse event, Be Queen stole
the glory of being the first real
long shot winner of the meet.
Sallie M., a nine-to-one shot,
placed, to pay $11.80, and a track
rarity, a dead heat, was run
Dusette To Take
On Weaver For
Grappling Title
Georges Duselte and Frankle
Stojack are both confident they
can take the measure of Buck
Weaver, currently king of Pa
cific coast light-heapyweight wres
tlers. The two top-notch grap
plers battled to a one-hour draw
here Saturday In a match that
was to decide which would be
the challenger for Weaver's cov
eted crown. Dusette won the flip
of the coin, and Saturday night
at the Roseburg armory the mus
cular French-Canadian will test
Weaver's prowess as a champion.
Matchmaker Elton Owen, at the
same time, announced that Al
Williams, who had previously
been scheduled to meet Dusette,
is gradually, recovering from a
brain concussion suffered in a
Portland match last week.
Owen has scheduled an attrac
tive one-hour supporting bout,
between Tex Hager, the talented
young Oreponlan, and Leo Kar
linko, the "Mad Russian" who is
now one of the toughest mat men
in the Northwest.
Dusette and Weaver are ex
pected to stage a great battle in
which the challenger will employ
his new combination headlock
and full-nelson attack.
Despite his cockiness since win
ning the light-heavy belt, Weaver
is a touh opponent at any time.
Although he specializes in the
deadly backward flying leap, he
is a master of all holds a master
fundamentalist. The former Uni
versity of Indiana football and
wrestling star is one of the
smoothest men in the business,
and knows ell of the tricks of
the game. He will probably find
I himself on the short end of pop
ularity among Douglas county
mat fans, however.
Folldwers of the sport are
certain to see lots of good rugged
wrestling in both bouts and fans
are urged to make early reser
vations at Powell's for ringside
seats.

The favorite. Big Houge, a
two-to-one choice, rambled down

race to win by a nose over Vir

Time was :18.2.

the favorite, broke first, and
darted Into a one-length lead,
followed by Zoric and Sweeping
Snow. Zoric clung stubbornly to
second place, by eight lengths,
and in the backstretch started
moving up. In a hard driving
finish Zoric won by a length and
Heuverkins was second by five
lengths, with Sweeping Snow
third.
The quinella combination of
Zoric and Heuverkins paid $6.40.
Lucky Four, a five-year-old rid
den by Cal Hewes, was a five-to-one
shot in the sixth race, and
won the event with ease. Break
ing first, the winer went into
a two-length lead. Increased It
to four on the backstretch. and
by the time the horses hit the
home stretch was eight lengths
ahead of Mr. Booter. Black Karen
showed. The show horse paid
$7.00. while the place horse re
turned $4.90. The winner, Lucky
Four, paid $12.80 to his backers.
In the match race Between
Flicka F., the quarter horse that
runs without tack or Jockey, and
Record Crop, the thoroughbred,
not much was proven. Flicka F.
lost sight of her stable male,
Badger's Grey Lady, and Just
didn't try to beat her opponent,
who won by the length of the
front stretch. The race will be
tried again soon, with Jockeys
on both animals this time.

Angelenos Beat
Hollies; Oakland
Loses To Seals
By JIM BACON
Aaeoeiated Preaa Sporuwriter
Hollywood, which hoped to fat
ten its shaky Pacific Coast league
lead on last place Los Angeles,
may do some disastrous starving
instead.-
As often happens with bitter
home town rivalries, the lowly
Angels knocked off the Stats,
8 to 3, Tuesday night. Cal Mc
Lish held the Stars to three sin
gles and hit a triple that touched
off a four-run fiflh inning.
Oakland lost a chance to gain
a game on the Stars wheneSan
Frascisco pinchhitter Roy Par
tees tqueeze play sent Mickey
Rocco home for a 2-to-l win. The
ninth-inning run climaxed a
thrilling pitchers' duel between
the Seals' Al Lien and the Oaks'
Earl Jones. Lien, gave up six
hits while Jones, in losing, gave
up but five.
Sacramento took a ten-Inning
decision from Portland, 2 to 1.
Mai Mallette threw a six-hitter
in winning a tight battle with the
Beavers' Roy Helser.
Bobby Wilson singled in the
14th inning to score Allie Clark
to enable San Diego to shads
Seattle 3 to 2. Ironically, the
Rainiers' Guy Fletcher, trying
for his 21st win, tried to purpose
ly walk Wilson. But the Padre
second baseman reached out to
bang his game-winning single.
