But it wasn’t any dream. f t + , reat — PERHARS we were supposed to give up on these Dodgers af- that opener. We were told by several ardent White Sox fans this series was in the bag for the Chicago club. Some wanted save us embarrassment and advised us against writing any support of the Dodgers’ cause. We surely appreciated their ‘t in us but we couldn’t for a moment see the White Sox aking two in a row from the Dedgers. No team that fought so tallantly to grals a pannant could fold so quickly in a world series. so we stuck to our guns and still called it for the Dodgers in six @@mes. We figured this man Wynn mav cop another game or the Sox at the big Coliseum but outside of that. we can’t see thé men of likeable Al Lopez winning another game.
SOME ANTI-DODGERS started hollering after that 119 blasting that the Alstonites didn't belong in a world series.

Frank Tripucka Gets Big Test Against Eskies
By THE CANADIAN PRESS
Frank Tripucka, traded from Saskatchewan Roughriders to Ot tawa Rough Riders before this season opened, comes back to the Saskatchewan club as head coach in time for their game to day against Edmonton Eskimos.
Tripucka takes the place of George Terlep, dismissed by the club Wednesday.
Terlep, who objected to the original Tripucka trade, wil! go to Ottawa as backfield coach.,
Club officials gave no official reason for the dismissal of Ter- lap, but the straight-loss recprd of Saskatchewan seems enough.
The Saskatchewan - Edmonton game is the only action in the Western Interprovincial Football Union today, but it is a key game to all five teams in the confer- ence,
the wall in left centre.
“T honestly thought Lollar could: score, so I waved him on,” said Cuccinello. “Then I figured Smith could mpve on to third on the throw-in’ to the plate and we have the winning run there with none out. But there are two per- fect throws after the retrieve and so Lollar is out by a mile.”
Lhe Sox dressing room was a diréct contrast to Thursday's joy- ful scene after Chicago's 11-0 opening rout of the Dodgers. The players were’ silent and gloomy as they slowly peeled off their uniforms.
Sox starter Bob Shaw, who pitched two home run balls to Charlie Neal and one to pinch- hitter Chuck Essegian, said they proved the fact that ‘my timing was off.”
Shaw's battery mate, _Lollar, said the handsome right - hander “didn't have his stuff today.”
Manager Al Lopez, meeting writers in the Sox press club house some distance from the | dressing room, said of Lollar’s ill-fated attempt for home:
“His hesitation simply messed up the whole play.”
