...batters later, Neal came back to hit a 420-ft. blast into the White Sox bullpen for two more runs. In the eighth, stubby Third Base Coach Tony Cuccinello, the man who had flashed the go-go sign to the Sox all season long, sent heavy-footed Catcher Sherm Lollar lumbering for home with the tying run. He never made it; a sharp relay by Dodger Shortstop Maury Wills caught him by 12 ft. and killed the rally. Final score: Dodgers 4, White...

What holds this odd and elderly crew together is the majors' firmest backbone up the middle: Veteran Catcher Sherm Lollar, 35, who can steady a shaky pitcher with a word; slick Shortstop Luis Aparicio, 25, and quick-handed Second Baseman Nellie Fox, 31, the best double-play combination in baseball; and Centerfielder Jim Landis, 25, one of the fastest fly chasers in the business. Under Manager Al Lopez' fatherly hand, the hitless-wonder White Sox, young and old alike, scamper the bases with glee, turn so cool in the clutch that they have...

Behind the Tigers, come the Chicago White Sox with pitching and not too much else. With Billy Pierce, Early Wynn and Dick Donovan, the Chisox have a strong big three, but their only real batting strength comes from catcher Sherm Lollar and Jim Landis.

...major reason for the improved feeling between the Hill and the White House lay in the performance of Major General Wilton B. (for Burton) Persons, successor to New Hampshire's Sherman Adams as Assistant to the President of the U.S. The difference between Sherm Adams and "Jerry" Persons is more of manner than method. Adams was the stern, testy New Englander, all business and no chitchat.
