Chisox Hurling. Staff Shapes Up As Best In American Circuit Editor's note: This 1 the second outlook of each major league team for 1958, written by the manager of each club. By AL LOPEZ Written For The United Press Tampa, Fla. W) They say pitching wins pennants, and the way the Chicago White Sox pitching 'staff shapes up now, there's no question that it is the strongest one in the American league. Early Wynn, whom we got from Cleveland, gives us another good, solid starter to go with fel lows like Billy Pierce, Dick Don ovan, Jim Wilson, Bill Fisclfer and Bob Keegan. And Ray Moore, whom we ob tained from Baltimore, repre sents the kind of man we were looking for to give our bullpen a big lift. Moore will handle the relief work along with Gerry Staley, Dixie Howell and Paul LaPalme. I'm not discounting young Jim Derrington, either. He's the bon us boy we're carrying and he could turn out to be a pleasant pitching surprise for us next sea con. There was some talk that we Urt ourselves on offense when we gave up Minnie Minoso and Lary Doby to get Wynn and Moore. Perhaps we did sacrifice a few RBI's but I think the added pitching help we obtained more than makes up for it. . m Other Good Hitleri Besides, I feel we got some pretty fair hitters in fellows svSfch as Al Smith Billy Goodman and Tito Francqpa. Smith is no slouch at the plate and the .247 average he had at Cleveland is certainly not a true indication of his ability. We think that a change of scenery will make a big difference in his case. We're counting on Smith as our left fielder. Jim Landis can play center field as well as any one in the league, and we'll have both Jim Rivera and Francona available in right field. : The addition of Goodman from Baltimore frees Bubba Phillips for duty in the outfield, in the event we need him there. Phil lips is a handy man to have around because he can play both third base and the outfield. We're thinking of Goodman in terms of third base. Frankly, I'm not the least bit concerned about our situation around second base. We have the best second base man in the league in Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio at shortstop givJt) our cluS1 as good a double play combination as you'll find. Aparicio Hits and Steals Aparicio's value doesn't end on defense Qlone. He's a whiz TRIMBLE DENIES REPORT Hamilton, Ont.

I think we're in mighty good shape at first base also. Earl Tor geson did a great job for us last season hitting .286 and driving in 51 runs. All of us in the White Sox fam ily are very high on Ron Jack son. He has much more exper ience now than he had when he first broke in and he could really establish himself next year. He could even supply some of the power the critics say we'll be missing. And we still have big Walt Dropo for duty at first base, too. He hit 13 homers and drove in 49 runs for us last season. Sammy Esposito gives us the infield insurance we need in case of any injuries. Our catching staff is a good one with Sherm Lollar, Earl Battey and Les Moss. Like Jack son, Battey could come very fast next year. He has all the tools. I'll say one thing. The White Sox look a lot stronger than they did a year ago, and don't forget, we didn't miss winning by too much last season Tennis Star Ordered to Agreement Los Angeles (IB Pro tennis champion Pancho Gonzales of Los Angeles today was under a court order to live up to his con tract with tennis promoter Jack Kramer without an increase in pay. Superior Judge Leon T. David threw out a request to submit the dispute between Kramer and Gonzales to arbitration because the promoter held a valid con tract and the court ruled Gon zales had to live up to it. Gonzales had claimed that Kramer made a verbal agree ment to increase his share of the gross proceeds from, their tennis tours to 25 per cent from the 20 per cent he had been receiving. Shantz Picks Up Earned Run Toga Chicago (IP) Little Bobby Shantz of the Yankees, the come back king of the majors, was cer tified as the American" League earned run champion today for his mark of 2.45, the best he ever posted during his up-and-down career. The 32-year-old Shantz yielded only 47 earned runs in 173 in nings this year while winning 11 games and losing five, according to official figures released by the Howe News Bureau. Another Yankee pitcher, right hander Tom Sturdivant, fin ished runnerup to Shantz with an earned run mark of 2.54. Sturdi vant won 16 games and lost only six to tie Dick Donovan of the White Sox for the best won-lost percentage. Realty Board Adopts Resolution on Project The Medford Realty board last week adopted a resolution noting the fire hazard of the Jackson County Housing author ity at the corner of McAndrews rd. and Jackson st. The board said it believed the project was a fire hazard be cause: "1. It is lacking in heavy duty electrical wiring and switch boxes to carry the loads imposed on it. The construction through out was made with wartime ma terial. "2. There have been several fires there exposing tenants, school buildings and residences. "3. We are of the opinion that in view of these conditions being of public knowledge that the city could be exposed to damage suits." The resolution wa3 adopted at a meeting Friday.
