MEDFORDvTRIBUNB SIPflDM Al Lopez Denies Sox Dying; Predicts They Can Take NY Tampa, Fla. (U.R) New Man ager Al Lopez vigorously de nied the Chicago White Sox are "a dying ball club" and insisted today "they can take the Yan kees next year with a little help." Lopez, who agreed to a one year contract with the White Sox Monday for approximately the same $40,000 he received for managing the Cleveland In dians this year, will fly to Chi cago today to confer with Vice President Charles Comiskey re garding selection of coaches, possible player trades and other business affairs. Before departing from his home here, however, the 48-year- old Lopez said he completely disagreed with the consensus that the White Sox, who finished third this year, are headed for the second division. Even Marty Marlon hinted that when he left as manager of the club last week. Coming Club "In my opinion, the White Sox are a coming club, not a dying one," Lopez said. "They piayed better baseball against my Cleve land club than any other team In the league. Chicago beat the Indians 15 out of 22 times. No other club ever had that good a record against Cleveland since Bull Montana, Roy Heffernan Rematch Billed Grants Pass Roy Heffernan and Bull Montana go at it again Wednesday night in the wrestl ing arena at the Josephine coun ty fairgrounds. Heffernan, the big. powerful wrestling dynamo from Aus tralia, got a bad break last week when he rammed into referee Elton Owen and this led to his defeat at the hands of Montana. This was Heffernans first loss since coming to the northwest and he immediately issued a . challenge and put up $100 on the side that he coujd take Montana with the referee on the outside to call only the falls. The match was made but only after a lot of growling by the Bull. Montana said that he had clobbered the Aussie twice but had lost one on an undeserved disqualification Shaken Up Matchmaker Owen who was slightly cut and badly shaken up last week, said that he want ed no part of refereeing this one. He has decided to put both Red Hastien and Bill Fletcher on opposite corners with orders to keep them in the ring and call only the falls. Both of these big men will be going all out in this rubber match to see who is top banana in the Northwest. Extra seats will be set up to take care of the expected crowd. The special event will see Fletcher putting his local win streak on the line against his toughest opposition to date in the person of Hastien. Hastien is fast and experienced and will be favored. the first year I managed there when New York beat us pretty good." While on the subject of the world champion Yankees, Lopez said "they are a good club, but they can be had. We proved that in 1954 with Cleveland. If we can get a little help I think we can take the Yankees and go all the way." Marshfield Receives 79 Poll Points Portland (U.R!
