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...

(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. Persons, 63, is a mellow, Scotch-sipping, storytelling Alabaman, whose years as a U.S. Army liaison man on the Hill (1933-38, 1939-49), as head of the Defense Department's Hill...
