PETERSEN UPI Sport Editor Chicago - (CPD The Chicago Buy At Builders Supply I 9 QUALITY BLOCKS Drain Tile Bricks, Flues 727 W. McAndrews PhoM ST 3-4575 or SP 2-4107 White Sox, off to a flying start in heir drive to make up for the biggest blot on baseball's record, tried to make it two in a row over the deflated Los Angeles Dodgers today in the second game of the World Series. Manager Al Lopez called on Bob Shaw, an 18-game win dier, to aid the White oox campaign to erase the mem ory of how their last pennant winner - the "Black Sox" of 40 years ago threw the 1919 series to the Cincinnati Reds. 1 Shaw, a fast-balling right hancfcr, was to face southpaw Johnny Podres, who hurled the Dodgers to their only World Series triumph - back in 1955 when they were based in Brooklyn. Pcrires has a 14-9 recqsrd against Shaw's 18-6. Early Wynn, a 39-year-old veteran who bounced back to win 22 games this season, and heavivly-muscled Ted Klus zewski, with two home runs and five runs batted in, were the chief heroes as the White Sox shut out the Dodgers 11-0 and rocked them back on their heels with an 11 -hit attack which made it the worst first game runaway in Series an nals. Comeback Noted But the Dodgers insisted that they weren't hanging on the ropes, pointing out that they had come back from a 12-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs to win the National league heips you do it faster, easier, better . . t It's mixed to order.

McAndrews Rd. (UPI Telephoto) , TED KLUSZEWSKI , ' Sock Two Homers pennant in a feverish playoff with - Milwaukee. r. 'It's losing the close ones that hurt you," insisted Dodg er manager Walt Alston. "One like this is just forgotten." You couldn't sell that to the White Sox or to the 48, 013 fans ' who cheered and jeered as the home club racked up' five Los Angeles pitchers for 11 hits in pinning the loss on young Roger Craig, took a two run lead in the first inning, crushed the Dodgers with seven more runs in the third, and then, just for good measure, added an other pair in the fourth. ' Nellie Fox, the tobacco chewing sparkplug of the White Sox, started the jour ney of annihilation in the very first inning when, with one away, he drew a walk. Jini Landis laced a single to right and little Nellie went to third. That's when Big Klu started his heroice with a single to right, scored Fox and put Landis on third. Sherm Lollar followed with a long drive to center that kept Klu anchored on first, but Landis cantered home after the catch. That accounted for the first two runs but the massacre really started in the third inning. The pesky Sox started that fantastic third with a double. Landis singled him home and then Big Klu lofted a homer into the right field stands. Chuck Churn shouldered the load for Craig then and the roof fell in on him as Duke Snider collided with Wally Moon in fielding and drop ping - Lollar' s high fly. Lollar wound up on second- and trundled home heavy-footed on Billy Goodman's sliced single" to right. Goodman ad vanced to third on Al Smith's double to left center. Neal In Act That's when Snider equal led the series record for in ept play as he threw wildly to the infield for his second error of the inning. Goodman scored and Smith went to third., Second, baseman Charley, NeaL got into the error act next when he gobbled up Jim Rivera's grounder and tossed it into the dirt in front of the plate while trying to nail Smith at home. The ball struck Rivera's discarded bat and bounced past catcher John Roseboro as Smith gal loped home and Rivera went on to second. Wynn contribut ed to his own cause next with a double to center, scoring Rivera. But the next two men went down to finally end it . ' The game assumed comic opera proportions as the Sox added two more in the fourth. Landis started with his third straight single and then it was Big Klu again-smashing a homer against the upper rail in right field. As the ball dropped back on the playing field, Dodger right fielder picked it up in disgust and hurled it up into the roaring crowd. That Kluszewski blast end ed the scoring for the day, and, while it was five runs batted in to equal the World Series one-game mark held jointly by Yankees Tony Laz zeri and Bill Dickey, it also was more than the White Sox were to need on this actual anniversary of the day 40 years ago when they started their sordid trip into shame and infamy. Kluszewski Tells His Impression EDITOR'S NOTE: Ted Kluszewski, who has been , with the White Sox only 38 . days, paced them to an 11-0 victory over the Dodgers in the World Series opener . Thursday .with two home runs and a single. He gives his impressions of the game in the following dispatch. By TED KLUSZEWSKI ; As Told To UPI Chicago -0JPD- That wasn't too bad for a start, but what do I do now for an encore? When you've been around the majors as long as I have, you 'don't feel there are many thrills left in store for you. This was by far my biggest one, though. , . Here am I, a guy who has spent . practically my entire career in the National league and never dreamed not until a week ago, anyway - of ever getting in a World Series any more. And to start it off like this well, sir, I don't think I can ever top it- I didn't thmk that first hom er of mine was going all the way in the third inning. I thought it was going to come down short. There wasn't any question in my mind about the second one, though. I knew that was gone for good. Happy? Didn't you notice how I hot-dogged it around the bases after that fourth inning homer. Boy, I was really in clover trotting around those bases. The thing that really pleased me was that my wife was out to the park and prac tically the whole town of Ar go. What do you mean you never heard of Argo? It has a population of 10,000 and it happens to be right here in Illinois. It also happens to be my hometown. Apart from my hitting, I felt good because I finally got a uniform tailored with the sleeves cut short just like I used to wear when I was with Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The White Sox didn't have a uniform like that when I came over to them from the Pirates last August 25th. They got me one for the World Series, though. . Am I going to wear the same one today? Are you kid ding?

Q Friday, Oct. 2, 1959 5 SPORTS Duke Snider Could Be Series Goat ' Chicago - (DPD - Will Duke Snider, hero of many a World Series for the Dodgers, be come the "goat" of the current Series with the Chicago' White Sox? Snider appeared to have a good start for the goat's role. The veteran outfielder equal led a Series record by commit ting two errors in one.inning the big third when the White Sox scored seven runs in their 11-0 rout of the Podgers. But the Duke, who has ap peared in five previous clas sics, also has Series records for most home runs by a Na tional league player (10), and runs batter in (24). Not Worried He wasn't worried about be coming the goat, and neither was manager Walt Alston. "That was only one game and I can tell you how it hap pened," said the Duke, sipping a bottle of beer after the game. Snider spoke of his first er ror in the third inning, when left fielder Wally Moon and he collided on Sherm Lollar's easy fly ball in left center. "I called for the ball. I didn't know Moon was coming in for the catch. I heard the people shouting that we were going to bump, but it was too late The ball bounced out of my hand," Snider said. On, the second error, I threw to second. Nobody was there," he said. World Series Record for One Game Foreseen Los Angeles -UPD- An all time record for a single World Series game appeared a cer tainty today - no matter what happens to the Dodgers in the second game with the Chicago White Sox. Dodger officials said every one of the 92,000 Coliseum seats have been sold for the three Series games here, start ing Sunday. Many fans stood in line all night to be ready for the sale of 30,000 tickets Thursday. Business Manager Harold Parrott said the exact total would be slightly more than 92,000 although no exact fig ure is available. The Coliseum has a total seating capacity of more than 100,000 for foot ball,' but several thousand seats are exempted when the huge saucer is cleared for baseball. Sportswriters Divide in Poll Chicago (DPD The nation's sportswriters split right down the middle in their choice of the Chicago White Sox or Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series, a United Press International poll showed to day. The poll, a sampling taken of 95 writers, had 48 backing the Sox and 47 for the Dodg ers. Only one writer, however, Paul Horowitz of the Newark, N. J., Evening News, felt the Series would end in four games. Horowitz picked the Sox. Heart of the Dodgers' sup port came from, as expected, West Coast, newsmen, though a large part also came from Easterners who said the Dodg ers by any other name still looked like Brooklyn. Midwesterners backed the Sox heavily, though both Dodger and Sox supporters strongly insisted emotions had nothing to do with their choices which they protested were guided solely by "cold facts." By far, the majority of those queried felt the Series would go five or six games. Six writers said it would go seven, with the. six evenly divided between the Dodgers and Sox. Gomes Picked Over Fullmer Providence, R. I.-flJPD-World junior lightweight champon Harold Gomes of Providence is a heavy favorite over Jay Fullmer in tonight's 10-round nationally-televised bout at Rhode Island Auditorium. Ring observers feel that the 26-year-old Gomes is more experienced, is a better puncher and has more sta mina than Fullmer, of West Jordan, Utah. Fullmer, the brother of newly-crowned World Middle weight Champion Gene Full mer, has had 19 professional fights and has won 17 of them. Gomes' title will not be at stake.
