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 runnerup 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.

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. Oakland Junior Legion Wins For National Entry V YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 24.

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.

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.

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.
