Nellie Fox Comes
With ChiSox; Nieman Signs
By UNITED PRESS
Nellie Fox of the White Sox. a
scrappy little guy who has made
hustle pay oft in five fancy fig
ures, put a light to his omnipres
ent cigar today and said he was
mighty satisfied with a 1856 con-
' tract that will pay him about WO,-
i 000.
Fox, one of the ' American
' League's most spirited performers
was fourth best among the cir
cuit's hitters last season with a
.311 mark and also was among
the leaders in runs with 100, in
hits with 198, and In total bases
with 558.
In addition to Fox, the White
Box also announced the signing of
outfielder Bob Nieman, who hit
.283 while driving in 63 runs and
smashing 11 homers. The signing
of Fox and Nieman made a total
of M players under contract by
the White Sox.
While Frank Lane was general
manager, the White Sox usually

Southern Oregon Conference has.
kelball action resumes here this
weekend as the Klamath Union
High School Pelicans take on the
unpredictable Ashland High Griz
zlies in Friday and Saturday night
games at Pelican Court.
And what Important games they
are for the Pels.
Coach Don Peterson's Whltebirds
are currently riding In second
place with a 2-2 record, but Ash
land and Grants Pass are close
behind with identical 1-3 marks. A
double loss to Ashland this week
end or even a split with the Griz
zlies could throw a stumbling
oiock in the path of the Klamath
Quintet as they seek conference
and district laurels. Medford holds
the top spot of the four-team race
with a perfect 4-0 record. To main
tain any hopes of catching the fast
moving wind from Medford, the
' Pels must capture both frays this
. week.
Ashland, known in the past few
seasons as the league s "easy" en-
try has pulled up stakes and are
staging a tough fight against their
three larger foes Medford, Grants
Pass and Klamath. Tne Tornadoes
rolled over Ashland fairly decisive
ly, but Grants Pass had to contend
with a 'split last weekend.
COMBINATION
This week, reports from the
Llthla city are that Ashland High's
cagers have found themselves with
a "right" combination and are
ready to tangle with the Pels, eith
er on the road or at home. Coach
Al Simpson -Juggled his lineup
somewhat last week, and in doing
so shattered almost every scoring
record established by Ashland
teams as they slaughtered Grants
Pass, 85-61,
Four of Ashland's regulars hit
in double figures, with the other
starter collecting nine points. Har
ry Johnson and Phil Sword, two of
the Orlzzlies' old-pros, led the bar
rage against Grants Pass with 20
and 16 points apiece, a fete they
are hoping will duplicate Itself this
week against the Pels,
BACKFIRED
Last year the Pels and Ashland
inet on four occasions with the
Grizzlies winning the first game.
then falling three straight times.
In the last game between these
two clubs, Simpson s club used a
full-game stall In a effort to upset
the Whltebirds, but his strategy
backfired as Klamath came off the
Victor, 43-21.
Peterson said earlier this week
he may have some changes before
game time tomorrow evening. Al
though he wouldn't say just what
moves are in the wind, Peterson
indicated there may be some Jug
gling on behalf of the Pelican
starting lineup. "I wasn't satisfied
with our showing against Med
ford," Peterson stated, "and we'll
see If there isn't some way to
correct our mistakes this weekend
against Ashland."
Earle Tichenor dropped sharply
in the polnts-per-game-average de
partment in the Medford series,
but still leads the ballclub in scor
ing. Glenn Moore maintained his
second place spot behind Tichenor
and Donn Taucher is still third.
The scoring figures going into the
Ashland series are as follows:
G F P T
K. Tichenor 66 47 24 159
G. Moore 45 41 28 131
D. Taucher 30 37 32 97

Klamath has tallied a total of
597 points in ten games for an
average of 59.7 per game, while
allowing their opponents 580 points,
58.0 game average.
Streak Ends
For Montreal
By UNITED PRESS
The long scoring famine was
over today for the Montreal Cana
diens, who in the bargain also
snapped their longest losing streak
of the current National Hockey
League season at four games.

Outfielders Jim King and Ted

World Series hero Johnny Pod

Purchasing
Factors Told
DETROIT UH The Detroit
Tigers' franchise considered one
of the finest in baseball remains
up for sale, but President Spike
Briggs said today it won't neces
sarily go to the highest bidder.
Nor is it essential that the club
must be sold by a fixed date.
"A lot of people think that who
ever makes the highest bid will get
the Tigers." Briggs said. "Thai's
not so. There are other factors to
be considered factors which we
(trustees of the Tigers) consider
important.
"We don't want to sell out to
some money-mad people who will
milk the franchise dry in two or
three years, make a big profit and
then pull out, leaving a depleted
ball park and nine old men on the
field."
The trustees of the Tigers are
Briggs and his four sisters. Their
children are the eventual heirs to
the estate left by the late Walter
O. Briggs Sr., Tiger president who
died in 1852.
The sisters decided that a base
ball franchise was not a sound
trust investment and decided to
sell out. Briggs formed a syndicate
to buy the club last fall but his 3'i
million dollar offer was turned
down by his sisters.
There is no time limit on the
sale of the club." Briggs said. "It
could happen this year, or next
year, or even In 1958."
Briggs said that, thus far, there
have been 25 "inquiries" into the
sale of the club.
He said the name of Bill Veeck.
former owner of the Cleveland In
dians and St. Louis Browns, keeps
popping up.
Several of those who have In
quired into the sale of the club
have mentioned Vecck's name."
Briggs said. "It seems odd to me
that he should be mentioned by
several groups, and not just one."
When the sale of the Tigers is
eventually completed, Briggs said
II probably will mean the end of
his Job as president of the club.

Elorde
Stopped
On TKO
SAN FRANCISCO l Rlngwlse
Sandy Saddler, his world feather
weight crown still intact although
somewhat battered, set his sights
today on a crack at the lightweight
title.
The J2-year-old Saddler, trailing
by one point on all three official
scorecards after nine rounds, re
tained his 126-pound championship
with a technical knockout of Fili
pino Flash Elorde at 69 seoonds of
the 13th round last night. Referee
Ray Flores stopped the scrap, a
bloody melee In the final rounds,
because of a long, deep cut over
Elorde's left eye.
The game little challenger, who
weighed 125 pounds to Saddler's
126, suffered the cut In the eighth
round and appeared virtually
blinded the rest of the way. He
insisted, though, that he could have
gone on. . -,
BOOED DECISION J
The crowd, almost 100 per cent
on his side, booed lustily when
Flores' decision to stop It was con
curred in by ring physician Dr.
Robert Laddon.
"I finish - strong," Elorde de
clared In his dressing room. "The
eye was not bothering me. He
never did hurt me."
Dr. Laddon disagreed on his
third look at the cut. Twice previ
ouslyin the 10th and 11th rounds
Flores had stopped the action for
an examination and both times Dr.
Laddon sent Elorde back. In the
13th, at the obviously worried
Flores' request, he called a halt.
Saddler, whose Infighting tactics
brought frequent boos from the
crowd, took full advantage of the
bleeding cut to swing the fight In
his favor. - Several timea in the
clinches the crowd thought he was
using his thumb to rub across the
eye. When he waa In the open, the
champion shot left after left into
the Filipino's battered face.
IN FRONT ... i
Young Elorda was leading on
Flores' card and those of both
Judges Eddie James and Johnny
Basslnelll by 60-48 at the end of
nine rounds. He was awarded the
flnal,three by a 6-5 margin on all
cards to finish with a 67-65 bulge.
The Associated Press card showed
Saddler In front 68-64 when it end
ed. Elorde's manager Lope Sarreal
declared, "We would like to fight
Saddler again but I don't believe
he'll agree to It because Elorde Is
too good."
Elorde was awarded a lO-round
nontitle decision over Saddler In
Manila.
Saddler said he'd like a crack
at Wallace (Bud) Smith's light
weight crown and his manager
Charley Johnston agreed It was a
good Idea.
"No featherweight can punch
with Sandy," Johnston said. "He's
as strong as any welterweight."
-The approximately 6,000 who jaw
the bout paid 128.273. Saddler had
a 125,000 guarantee. Elorde's take
was not estimated.
