He tells how he did it is fl following dispatch.) By BOB SHAW As told to UP J Los Angeles -4UPD- I'm sure thankful for Dick Donovan i In that eighth inning when I got in trouble, I knew I had to go. I didn't feel tired but it's silly' to gamble in a game like this. - I would like to have fin ished of course but this isn't the place to take chances. When Al Lopez came out to the mound he told me, 'You pitched real good ball.' Then I didn t feel so bad about having Donovan take over. , I want everyone to know I was eat fault for that wild pitch I threw when Charley Neal was at bat. Put the i . i . . Diame on me. i crossed up the catcher Sherm Lollar. I should have thrown a slider and I nodded my head when he gave me the signal for it. But somehow I was thinking of a fast ball and that's what I threw. It wasn't Sherm's fault that the ball got away. Much Better I think this was a much better game than the one I pitched in Chicago. Jim Gilli am hit me pretty good, but then he's a good hitter. I tried t my fast ball, too, and he - whacked it against the screen in left. I had a few rough seconds in the seventh when Neal hit that long one to right field. I pitched the ball just the way I wanted to, but for a minute I thought that was it when he got hold of it.- Then I saw Jim Rivera had it. When I walked Chuck Es segian in the seventh it was simply because I didn't want to give him anything good. Remember he got a homer off me in that Chicago game. I tried to keep the ball low to , him-and I did-a little too low I guess. " We have another' chance now and I think we'll do okay at home. DOUBLE JEOPARDY Barre, Vt.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Chicago - (UPD - Chicago's "go-goo" White Sox, back on their home grounds, vowed today that they'd make their economy type baseball pay off again to win the World Series in which ihey trail the Los Angeles Dodgers . three games to two. "We'll win it now," pre dicted White Sox manager Al Lopez. He named Early Wynn as his starting pitcher when the series resumes in brick-walled Comiskey Park on Thursday. He'll be opposed by Johnny Podres, the soreback lefthand er who won the second game of the Series in Chicago last Friday. "We're back in business when we make one run stand up," Lopez chuckled. "That's- how we won the American league pennant. That's how we'll win the Series." , But. he admitted thai the White Sox, who went back to their black stockings Tuesday to change their luck, weren't out of baseball's' woods. "We have to get even first," he observed. He didn't know whether his club would wear the white stockings they started the Series with, or the old black ones they switched to Tuesday when they kept their hopes alive with a 1-0 triumph be fore the largest : throng in World Series history - 92,706 in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. . - "It was trainer Ed Froe lich's idea to change our stock- old - style Bourbon In 1-0 Dati&l After ings hoping to change our luck, and I went along with him because you do anything when you are desperate," Lopez explained. And the White Sox were desperate Tuesday. They made a fourth inning run. - scored on a doubleplay hold up and withstood a Dodger eighth inning threat which will go down in Series history as one of the most dramatic of all times. Manager Walter Alston of the Dodgers, still confident but lamenting that "we have to go all the way back to Chicago to wrap it up," gave Lopez credit for "putting the right man in the right spot at the right time." "But we have Johnny ready for them Thursday, so maybe our stay here won't be too long," he added. If Podres should lose, and Alston said "I don't think he will," he will go with Don Drysdale, his big side-wheeling right hander who won the third game, in the seventh and last-ditch clash. - Lopez would not go beyond naming. Wynn as his sixth game starter. Both clubs flew back here after that historic game in the vast Coliseum Tuesday. "We were . flying high be cause we are back on the beam," Lopez commented, cautiously " ordering his club out for a workout this after noon. Hitting Practice Today "We'll concentrate on hit ting practice," he said. "We sure need it especialy with men on bases." Actually, he didnl get it in Tuesday's win, for 'it was a double play ball which scored the winning run. Yet that was only typical of the kind of ball the White Sox have played all year. . ' - : 7. '- Their backs to the wall, they threatened Sandy" Kou fax, the Dodgers' erratic, fire throwing southpaw, in the third and this time they were frustrated because their base stealing shotstop tried to take an extra base. , In the fourth, however, they cashed in on an oppor tunity the kind that has been hitting pay dirt for them all year. ! . Battling Nellie Fpx led off the inning with a single and raced to third as Jim Landis followed with a single. As Sherman Lollar. hit into a double play, Fox scored with the run that stood up all the way. . " , . - . . The White Sox didn't mount any threats after that, but the Dodgers did and in the battle of managerial wits that followed, Lopez won out over Alston, thanks to big Dick Donovan. ' v . ' ''-. That was in the story-book eighth. . It looked bad for the White Dupas, Stitch Fight Tonight Louisville, Ky. -OIPD- Ring wise Ralph Dupas pits his speed against older but less experienced Rudell Stitch's damaging right hand tonight, hoping to earn a shot at Don Jordan's welterweight title. Bill King, Louisville pro moter of the . nationally tele vised (ABC) bout said he has offered Jordan $75,000 to meet the winner of tonight's bout here within 90 days. HOCKEY United Press International The National Hockey League, f which enjoyed its best season ever last year, be gins its 43rd year of operation Wednesday night - with the New York Hangers meeting the Black Hawks in Chicago. Thursday night the four time Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens open their bid for a third straight league pennant against Bos ton at the Montreal . Forum. And on Saturday all six teams are in action. New York will be at Boston, Detroit at Mon treal and Chicago at Toronto. United Press International The Providence Reds used an ex-major leaguer to spoil the Quebec Aces' debut in the American Hockey league. Earl (Dutch) Reibel, . who played six years in the Na tional Ingue with Detroit, Chicago and Boston, tallied a goal and an assist in sparking the Reds to a 5-2 victory over the Aces Tuesday night at Quebec. , : NIGHT SHIFT ; South Bu- "-"ngton, Vt-(UPD- : When city police chief Robert Sparno was seen digging holes after midnight he explained that he had been ordered to put up some "no speeding" signs by 8 ajn. Business Verdict; Tilt Scene Sox when Landis lost Wally Moon's fly ball to center in the sun and it fell in front of him for a single. Winning pitcher Bob Shaw retired Norm Larker on a fly ball, but Gil Hodges rifled a single to center, sending Moon to third. On the play, trying to get Moon at third, Hodges went on into second. Now rival managers started making moves, one counter to the other. I Alston sent up left handed batter Ron Fairly -to hit for righthander Don Demeter Lopez took out Shaw and put in southpaw Billy. Pierce. 'So Alston withdrew Fairly and sent up right-handed hitting Rip Repulski to the plate. Lopez ordered Pierce to walk Repulski intentionally, filling the bases. Furillo Again So Alston called on Carl Furillo, his pinch hitter de luxe in the pennant playoff against the Braves and in the Series. So Lopez took out Pierce and put in Donovan. There were pinch runners; pinch hitters and a lot of Series records were tied or broken in the inning, but it mattered not to the White Sox for Donovan did the job. He retired Furillo on a pop fly and Don Zimmer on a fly ball. ' . ; As it turned out this time, Lopez made the right moves. He made one an inning earlier with two men on base, he put Jim Rivera in right field, shifted Al Smith, who had been playing there, to left, with Jim McAnany going to the bench.' All Rivera did was to haul down .Charlie Neal's long drive to deep right center to cut off two Dodger runs. So now the sands of base ball were running the White Sox way. And Lopez summed it up when he said: "We're back in business. We'll stay in it, too." Thursday . and ' possibly Friday - will tell the final story. Vj ' '., BOX SCORE: Chicago . . Aparicio ss '.

SOX CHANGE SOCKS Chicago's White Sox changed the color of their stockings for yesterday's fifth game of the baseball World Series putting on their old black stockings trimmed with red and white.

Dodger Manager Walt Alston commented, "You don't pick up balls or grounders with your stockings." (UPI Telephoto) Optimism Displayed By Chisox JOE ST. AMANT Los Angeles -flJPD- The Chi cago White Sox were con verted from a very, very glum group into a bunch of cheer ing, .wild-eyed optimists Tues day with their 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Still trailing 3-2 games, the Sox players whoped it up in their dressing room. ' "I think we'll win it now!" said Manager Al Lopez against the background of shouts and laughter. "We're in great shape now," he explained in his quiet way. "We're going back home ' where we always do better and we're gonna come back with Early Wynn on Thursday." ' ' . The Dodger dressing room was quiet by comparison to the Chicago quarters but Man ager Walt Alston and his players did not seem down cast, : Alston pointed to a chalked slogan on a blackboard - "one to go, go, go" and smiled, "that still goes" for us." Alston gave Lopez ' credit for saving the game when he moved Jim Rivera into the right field spot in the seventh inning. Rivera made a '.run ning one-hand catch of a 390 foot blast by Charley Neal to end a Dodger scoring, threat. - "Give Lopez credit for put ting the right man in the spot at the right time," Alston said. "That was the key play of the game." Grimm Mason Has Operation Portland -0JPD- Ailing Ore gon State college tailback Grimm Mason underwent knee surgery in Emanuel hos pital here Tuesday.
