as the horse to beat in the Wood.
However, If First Landing wins

Manager Al Lopez
Says Sox On Way
DETROIT (AP) - Those Go-Go
white Sox are going places, says
Manager Al Lopez.
inis is the fast start we ve
been looking for," said the Chica
go manager after his club com
pleted a sweep of a three-game
series against the Detroit Tigers
Beating a club as good as Detroit
three in a row can do wonders
for a club like the Sox."
Lopez has been a runnerup to
the New York Yankees seven of
the eight seasons he has been an
American League manager. Al
ways the optimist, Lopez contends
each spring that his team is
capable of beating out the Yankees.
This year, the Sox skipper is de
pending on a pair of green rookies,
neither of whom has had as much
as two full seasons in the minor
leagues.
They can make or break us,"
said Lopez.
Lopez is talking ' about Norm
Cash, a 24-year-old outfielder who
was handed the first base job, and
John Callison, a left fielder who
just turned 20.
Cash hit his first major league
home run in Sunday's 5-3 victory.
"These guys aren't just experi
ments," said Lopez. "Cash and
Callison are regulars. They've

Yankee Norm Siebern's Hitting
Paying Back Debt Owed Casey
NEW YORK (UPI) - Solemn
Norm Siebern says he's simply
paying back a debt he owes Ca
sey Stengel.
Siebern s initial payment took
form of an eighth-inning home
run that brought the Yankees a
3-2 opening game victory over the
nea !ox Sunday in a frigid 42-
degree temperature at Yankee
Stadium.
"I owe Casey a whole lot." Sie
bern said quietly, without attemp
ting to dramatize. "I don't see
how anyone can get any lower
than I was after what happened
in the World Series, but he stuck
with me and you can bet I'm go
ing to give him a little extra."
Siebern's appearance in left field
at Yankee Stadium Sunday was
his first there since he butchered
up the fourth game of last year's
world Series and helped Milwau
kee take a three-games to one
lead in the classic.
'You'd better believe I'm a
much happier man right now than
1 was the last time I was here,"
he grinned as he toweled himself
in front of his locker following his
game-winning wallop.
Lasey didn t have to go with
me as long as he has." Siebern
added. "I'm just trying to repay
him for what he has done."
When Siebern s eratitude was
relayed to Stengel, the Yankee
manager said he was happy to
hear it.
"There never was any question
about his hitting," Casey said,
"but' we started to worry, about
whether he could do the job in
left field after all the trouble he
had in the World Series."
"I had to stay with the man,"
Stengel grunted. "He hit .286 in
spring training, got on base a lot
and ran all the other left-fielders
off the position."
In addition to his homer Sun
day, Siebern collected a pair of
singles to account for three of tha
Yankees' eight hits.

TESTS MILEAGE OF ALL U.S. CARS
"I Saw Gasoline History
Made"... Jim Bryan
4
JIM BRYAN, winner of the 1958 Indian
apolis "500" and performance steward
of the 1959 Mobilgas Economy Run,
saw gasoline history in the making.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 9
Just four hours ago, 47 men and
women, drivers in the 1959 Mobil
gas Economy Run, wearily crossed
the finish line in front of the
Muehlebach Hotel. They were
dog-tired after 414 days and 1.898
miles of some of the toughest
driving I've ever seen.
Powered by Mobilgas Special,
stock cars representing every U.S.
make started from Los Angeles'
Civic Center at dawn on April 5.
First across the blistering desert,
then up, up to 1 1,988 feet and over
the jagged spine of the Rockies,
then over the prairies. And by the
end of the Run they had bucked
342 miles of traffic in 147 towns
and cities. Deserts, mountains,
prairies and cities running at
maximum legal speeds all the timet
One of the drivers summed h up
for me: Toughest, most demand
ing grind I've ever been through.
But when I needed it, Mobilgas
Special came through with plenty
of smooth, knock-free power. And
it came through with plenty of
economy, too!"
