Shaw Thankful
For Donovan's
Job in Relief
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Bob
Shaw was credited with the
CVhile Sox 1-0 victory over
: the Dodger in the fifth
r game of the World Series.
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.

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

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 ' '.,

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. With the change the Sox hoped
to better their luck-and they did, edging the Los Angeles
Dodgers 1 to 0. Here "black soxer" Norm Cash adjusts the
new stockings before start of game. Dodger Manager Walt
Alston commented, "You don't pick up balls or grounders
with your stockings." (UPI Telephoto)
Optimism

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."
