Chiefs Will Face
Tough Opponent
In Central Point
Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs' fans
may expect one of the beat base
ball games of the season here at
Flnlay field Sunday, as the Chiefs
try to whip the only club that has
defeated them twice this season.
Central Point, sure they can do
it a third time, will count on Paul
Gehrman to pitch them to victory.
Gehrman, one of the outstanding
pitchers in the Southern Oregon
league this year, gave up plenty
of hits to Roseburg batters in
earlier contests, but the Millers
were still able to keep Roseburg
from outscoring them.
In the first Central Point
Roseburg tussle, Don Reed got off
to a bad start in the first inning:
allowed five hits that were turned
Into nine runs. Mel Krause came
Into the game and limited the
visitors to six hits after that.
Only in the eighth Inning were
they able to find the cool Rose
burg hurler, catching him for a
home run, a triple and a single.
Roseburg tapped Gehrman for 14
bingles. including two doubles
and a home run.
In the second encounter, the
Chiefs lost a tough one, 1-0. The
only Central Point score was the
result of an error. Roseburg was
limited bv Gphrman to two hits,
while Mel Krause gave up five.

new world In the spring instead
of the fall, It is likely that he
would have landed In the United
States because he was following

Night's Card
Ouinella Payoff, $91.80,
And $28 Rtturn On 12-1
Shot Highlight Betting
By FRED TAYLOR
A $91.80 qulnella payoff and a
$28 return on a win ticket high
lighted the eighth night of racing
at the county fairgrounds last
night.
Both the qulnella plum and the
win ticket reward came on the
final race, climaxing a night of
tight, photo-finish races. A prev
ious non-winner at the meeting,
three-year-old Venona Tip, ridden
by Jerry Davis, flashed home the
winner in the five-furlong finale,
a 12-to-one shot, to pay the $28 to
win, $11 to place, and $3.50 to
show. Blark Karen, the favorite
at six to five, finished second, to
make the winning $91.80 qulnella.
In that seventh race Embrclla
Boy broke first from the gate, but
dropped back immediately as
Helen Alibi, a two-to-one fhot,
moved Into the lead by two
lengths, with Black Karen second.
On the turn coming into the home
stretch, Helen Alibi ran wlna,
losing her lead, and Venona Tip
moved up from third, forcing
Black Karen to the rail, to win
by a neck.
Black Karen placed, to pay
$3.60 and $2.60, and Helen Alibi
showed.
Tonight, the ninth of the meet
ing, only one six-horse field is set,
with all the rest five-horse races,
giving bettors a better chance to
pick the winners. Qulnella and
daily double betting will be made.
Results of Races
In the first race, over 330-yards,
last night, Rod Racer, the seven
to five favorite, broke third but
moved Into the lead on the turn,
and pounded home the winner by
a half length, under hard riding
by Jockey Kenny Jones. Be Queen
placed, and Sallle M. showed. The
winner paid $5.00, $3.40 and $2.70,
while the place horse returned $4.
While the horses were warm
ing up for the first race, Kllcka
Grey, the second choice, ran away
with Jockey Robert Strauss, and
raced clear around the track be
fore she waa brought under con
trol. In the second event, a five-fur
long affair, Bobby Effort closed
as the favorite at four to five, and
won the race. Enquire broke first,
but dropped to second as the win
ner surged out In front by two
lengths. Going down the back
stretch the favorite Increased the
lead to five lengths, and finished
that wav, with Enquire second by
five, and Little Boy third.
The daily double combination
of Red Racer in the first and
Bobby Effort In the second pad
$11. Time for the second race
was 1:00.6. Due to the four-horse
field, no show betting was allowed
in that event.
After the second race Jockey
Strauss lost his mount Tareabout,
and the chestnut gelding raced
clear around the track before be
ing trapped. Two members of
the Sheriff's posse chased the
thoroughbred all the way but
their animals weren't quite fast
enough.
A dead heat for place money
was run in the third race, and for
a while it looked like a hard heat
for first. Two pictures were call
ed for by the Judges before they
reached a decision.
Trio In Photo Finish
Bruce's Lady broke from the
gate first In the short 220-yard
race, but Gallant Bess, the two-to-five
choice, shot past the leader

Karlinko-Haqer Mat Bout
Will Precede Titular Tussle
Between Dusette And Weaver
Leo Karllnko, the so-called "Mad Russian" who wrestles Tex
Hager in the one-hour preliminary at the Roseburg armory Satur
day night, Is considered one of the best drawing cards In Washing
ton and British Columbia at the present time. The villain who
specializes with A hammerlock hat settled down in both his style
of grappling and style of living and is in the best physical con
dition of his career.
Hager, the little native Ore
gonian, will give Karllnko plenty
of trouble with his sustained at
tack that includes drop kicks, fly
ing head scissors and other spec
tacular holds. Karllnko and Hager
are old rivals. They staged some
of the most hectic skirmishes in
history In the Chicago area last
winter and Saturday's tilt will be
of a grudge nature. At least there
Is no love lost between the two
mat rivals.
Attracting major interest, how
ever, will be the Pacific coast
llgh'weight championship brawl
between Champion Buck Weaver
and challenger Georges Dusette.
Saturday's bout will . mark
Weaver's toughest title defense
since winning the crown in the
finals of a lengthv tournament
against Hager here some weeks
ago. Since that time Weaver, a
former Indiana collegiate athlete,
has been strutting around and
selecting his opponents with kid
gloves. Now he has been forced
into a real test against a man
capable of crushing him with his
arms and shoulders. Dusette em
ploys a hammerlock and full
nelson, the former as a weakener
and the latter as a clincher. No
one In the business can match the
Frenchman's strength and either
hoid is virtually impossible to
break.
But Weaver has some potent
weaoons, too. and his backward
flying leap is one of the most
feared in the sports. He has a
solid foundation of tough wres
tling holds and has the capabill
ties of a champion. Regardless of
the outcome, and many local fans
will be pulling for Dusette, the
match should be a dynamic and
colorful battle.
The Hager-Karllnko match gets
under way at 8:30 p.m., with El
ton Owen as referee for both
bouts.
Hollywood Lead
Over Oaks Pared
To Two Games
By JIM BACON
Assaciausl Press bporlswrlttr

singled in a run to make it 3-3 but j
that was the only hit off Thompson.
Sacramento, which had been In
a second-place tie with Oakland,
failed to keep pace. The Solons
lost, 5 to 4, to Portland when
Eddie Fernandes' pinch hit single
in the ninth gave the Beavers two
runs.
Charlie Schanz hung up his 18th
win of the year as Seattle edged
San Diego, 4 to 3. Heinz Becker,
who drove in three of Seattle's
runs, gave the Rainlers a two-run
lead in the first with a two-run
homer. Becker and Jack Warren

eighth to clinch the game.
