Off to his best start in his last five years as a manager, Lopez has the White Sox in first place with five victories in six games. "I said I felt we could win this year before the season be gan and it still goes," the White Sox declared following Thurs day's 9-4 victory over the De troit Tigers. For the Leader Leading the way for the White Sox at the moment is lit tle Nellie Fox, with his custom ary wad of chewing tobacco and a fancy .423 batting average. Fox was a key contributor in Thursday's triumph over the Tigers with a pair of doubles and a single. Southpaw Jack Harshman was credited with his second victory although ancient Dixie Howell took over for him in the seventh. Steve Gromek was the loser. The Indians, who started poor ly this year, defeated the Ath letics 5-3, even though they were held to six hits. They broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh with a three-run rally that was high lighted by Vic Wertz's two-run double off loser Wally Burnette. Early Wynn was the winner but he gave way to Ray Narleski after yielding a two-run homer to Gus Zernial in the eighth. Ted Williams continued his torrid hitting for the Red Sox with a double and two singles in a 12-7 decision over the Sena tors. Williams' three hits boost ed his average to .455, best in the American league. George Susce Jr., yielded three hits over the last 5 23 innings to 2376 2355 Chuck's 2 Eastside Mkt. 2 Couch 432 Farrar 456 P. Coggim 456 Pyle 460 Withrow 498 Carter 426 C.

(U.R) Veteran test pilot Scott Cross field has been selected to test flight the forthcoming revolu tionary X-15 rocket research plane which is expected to pro pel man into the true realm of space for the first time, it was disclosed today. Crossfield, daredevil pilot and aeronautical engineer for North American Aircraft, thus looms as a space travel pioneer who will soar higher and faster than any other living human being heretofore. The ultrasonic bul letlike ship, now being construct ed by North American, is ex pected to reach altitudes far in excess of 100 miles and speeds faster than 4,000 miles per hour. The daring 35-year-old flier, although under strict security regulations, said the date of the X-15's first flight was not yet known but that he believes it might be next year at this base.
