[White Sox Hit At Strong Sun In Coliseum CHICAGO (UPI) — Ex-Dodger Billy Loes once claimed he lost a ■ ground ball in the sun and most lof the White Sox are claiming today they may have lost this World Series the same way. | Loes never intended his remark as a gag and it’s a cinch the nettled White Sox do not regard the strong sun that plagued them during their stay in Los Angeles as any kind of joke, either. "It was the most miserable three days I ever spent in my life,” said outfielder Al Smith. “I couldn’t wait to get out of there and it Was all on account of that sun.” Centerfielder Jim Landis still gets the shakes whenever Memorial Coliseum is mentioned. "I'm not kicking so much about their ball park,” he says, “but that sun out there is plain murder. I think it was darn lucky none of us got hurt. You can't catch what you can’t see.” Blinded by the sun, Landis muffed a routine eighth-inning fly ball in Tuesday’s game — something that never happened to him in 148 American League games this season—and Dodger centerfielder Don Demeter also came close to being hit in the face by fly balls he couldn’t see on several occasions. The outfielders weren’t the only ones to complain, either. Third baseman Billy Goodman and shortstop Luis Aparicio also agreed it was difficult to follow the flight of the ball at the Coliseum due to the sun and the white background formed by the vast throng in shirt sleeves. White Sox Manager Al Lopez refused to be drawn into the controversy, being a non-controversial sort, although he did venture a word or two about the perils of playing in "O’Malley’s Chinese amphitheater.” "You hate to say anything because it might sound like an alibi and I don’t want that at all,” Lopez commented. "I would like to say • though, that we didn’t look like our usual selves at all and I know the sun and the ball park had a lot to do with it.” '■ That’s how matters stand now. The White Sox can blot out that entire bad memory, however, with a win today and Friday. Dodgers Are Still Favorites In Series NEW YORK (UPD — Broadway o-ldsmakers continued to list the Dodgers as 13-5 favorites today to win the World Series. The White Sox remained slight 11-10 favorites for today’s sixth game.

Jr. High, Freshman Games Here Tonight The Decatur junior high clashes with Columbia City's pint-sized version of a professional squad at 6:30 p.m. today, while the freshmen - lophomore teaih matches joints with Bishop Leurs of Fort Wayne in the second contest at Worthman field tonight at 8 o’clock. The junior varsity will make its last showing against another school this year, and the team members are really pointing to this game. The two teams will again be formed from the junior high players, however, to perform before the varsity nome games. The Rams and the Colts will pick up their rivalry after disposing of Columbia City’s counterparts. The freshman squad, meanwhile, will meet a team that they walloped previously in the season by 26-0. The junior high boys will again produce a revampecj starting eleven as recent workouts show a few outstanding improvements. While none of the boys seem to have slipped in their ability and desire, several have shown that they can really take it and dish it out. One of these is Manuel Ybarra. A tough little football player, he tears the gridiron apart trying to set at a ball carrier. Not expected to show much at the start of the year, Ybarra has come a long way aud now rates as one of the best ball players on the squad. Other promising candidates who were heard of little at the start of the season are Jerry Egley, Max Elliott, Terry Meyers, Manuel Gonzales, Bill Smith and a few others. Those who have produced under fire and of whom great things were actually expected are Ed Kohne, Joe Hess, and Nat Gonzales to name but three. For others who stand out, fans are invited to see for themselves tonight at 6:30 at Worthman field.

Rudell Stitch Wins Over Ralph Dupas LOUISVILLE. Ky. (UPI) — Rudell Stitch said today he was a new fighter with the same old am-hitioh--a shot at Don Jordan’s welterweight title. Stitch, who built his ring reputation with a wicked but sometimes wild right hand, surprised Ralph Dupas and a lot of other people here and in a national televised audience Wednesday night by outboxing the fancy fighter from New Orleans in a 10-rounder. The Louisville church deacon won a unanimous decision over Dupas by his sudden-death coun•terpuucning, repeatedly knocking aside the No. 3 ranking welter’s flicking jabs with his own left, then crossing over jolting rights to the head. Stitch piled up points early, catching Dupas on the ropes midway in the fourth round to belabor him with a dozen left and right hooks.

Jackets And Tigers Baffle Here Friday The Decatur Booster. club will sponsor a “Father’s Night” for Friday’s home game against the arch rival Bluffton Tigers when the Yellow Jackets tangle with the Wells county team at 8 p.m. Additional bleachers will be erected for the contest, allowing a substantial increase in seating capacitv for Worthman field. Good cool, crisp weather is predicted, making the elements in favor of an upset in Friday’s contest. Decatur has yet to win and even to score while Bluffton is enjoying one of its better years. The Jackets, however, have shown more enthusiasm, with a couple of exceptions, this week in practice than at any other time all year. Part of this spirit may have arisen from Coach Bob Worthman's ultimatum—“ The first team either scores in the first quarter, or else.” The “or else” means that the freshmen and sophomores who performed quite ably in the Portland game will get another crack at showing just what< they’ve got. All fathers of school children, whether or not in high school, are invited and should bring their wives as escorts. Any other members of the family are also urged to come out and see the first Jacket victory. I Today's Sport Parade | (Bag. U.S. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International CHICAGO (UPD—AI Smith, an outfielder for the Chicago White Sox, was sitting in the locker room when he pointed a positive finger at a meaty-heavily-muscled man with dark hair and a seemingly perpetual scowl. Smith’s voice held a strong conviction as he said: “If I was a manager and there was one game I had to win, Td pick that guy right there.” Al Lopez, who ' happens to be the manager of the White Sox, feels exactly the same way. Because the man at whom Smith pointed—Early Wynn—is Lopez’ choice today to pitch the game which the White Sox have to win. Win Or Else . . . If they don’t, as they go out into Comiskey Park against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the World Series is over and the ship of the baseball worM goes, to, the’ West Coast for the lirst time in history. Al Smith’s recommendation is, in its way, almost as strong as Lopez’ faith in Wynn. They know he is 39 years old, that he has gone to the mound twice already in this series and that a lot ot younger men aided by the elasticity of lesser years will be taking dead aim on the aging guy they call “Gus.” But they also know that nobody is going to out-fight him or outtouch him. And this is a day they need all their aggressiveness and toughness. A Money Matter It makes Wynn mad when the opposition hits his pitches. He is proud that with 271 major league victories he is the biggest winner among active major league hurlers. But it goes even beyond that for the man from Alabama. You can sum it up in one word: Money. "It’s easy to understand, he explains. “Every time they beat me it means SI,OOO off my salary when I go into the front office to bargain for my next season’s contract.”

K. C. Bosketbail Practice Sunday The Knights of Columbus basketball team will conduct its initial practice Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Catholic high school gym. All players are asked to return their uniforms at this time. The practice will be open to all members. Redskins Scrap In Training Scrimmage WASHINGTON (UPI) — Tempers cooled off today among the Washington Bedskins after a onehour scrimmage marked by a fist fight and another near brawl. Coach Mike Nixon’s unusually tough contact work Wednesday erupted into a brief but vicious battle between halfback Jim Podoley and rookie defensive end Art Gob. Another fight between rookie wingback Ben Scotti and veteran offensive end Joe Walton was adverted only when other players stepped between the two as they were winding up to throw punches. Nixon, whose Redskins are the only National Football League team holding actual practice scrimmages durnig the regular season, said he wasn’t disturbed over the incidents. All players concerned shook hands after the scrimmage and Nixon was smiling. Another near fight between end John Paluck and tackle Ray Lemek developed last week while the Redskins were preparing for the Pittsburgh Steelers—a game which Washington won in an upset, 23-17. Nixon had ordered the once-a-week scrimmage until further notice after the 'Skins lost their opener to the Chicago Cardinals.

U.N. Committee To Be Organized Today UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UPI) —The United Nations General Assembly’s most powerful arm—the 82-nation Main Political Committee —organizes today to deal with the three major quesitons of the current U. N. session. The key questions are disarmament, outer space, and the problem of Algeria. Dr. Franz Matsch of Austria is chairman of the group. He was elected unanimously last month. First business of the committee today, will be election of a vice chairman and a rapporteur, whp report# the group’s actions to the full assembly for approval. It was likely the first skirmish in the committee would come on the order in which items would be taken up. There were only four items on the agenda — the report of the U. N. Korean commission was the fourth—but the committee’#' debates were likely to take longer than those of other committees with more issues to discuss. Oil Need Changing?
