It was ‘a typical finish by the islanders who were in the Inter- national: League cellar early in the season.

Relief pitcher Raul Sanchez scored from second on Morejon's

CONDOLENCES have been extended from all sides to this eolumnist on that 1-0 loss of the Dodgers to the Chicago White Sox Tuesday afternoon. .

There wasn’t must we could do except listen to these Pale Hose supporters tell us with sober faces how badly they felt for us. We thanked them all for their interest in us and agreed whole- heartedly that Tuesday’s battle was a whale of a great ball game. We did not hesitate, however, to remind our sympathizers that Los Angeles still led in this world series three games to twe and that after that 11-0 whalloping last Thursday, we had called it for the Dodgers in SIX,

AND SO this afternoon at 2 o’clock local time, we expect the last game of the 1959 series to get underway. However, we would remind those who are inclined to place a bet to be a bit careful and not regard this prophet as infalliable. We have been wrong on oceasions before and Montreal Canadiens’ fans have a nasty habit of reminding us of that fact.

But we honestly do think that Walter Alston will lead his Dodgers to a world championship this afternoon, right before the eyes of the loval White Sox supporters. We think Johnny Pod- res will win the final game just as he did in 1955 over,the New York Yankees. And we have a feeling that Lopez's ace right- hander, Early Wynn, won’t be around very long in today’s tussle.

WYNN CERTAINLY didn’t look sharp in that game Mondav and when he left the scene he had four runs Catrans cent oe him. Early needs lots of rest at his age and sending him out there today does seem a bit quick. However, Wynn is a great com- petitor and it could be that the venerable moundsman will have just that extra touch for this big one today. But we are not counting on him to have it.

But you can bet that Lopez, who did such a magnificent job of handling his team Tuesday, will not let Wynn get into as much trouble as he did Monday. He will have Lown. Staley, Pierce and Donovan all ready te take over at short notice. And all of his reliefers have shown plenty for him in this |series. .

ALSTON, on the other hand, will be /plaving this one just about the same as if it were sudden death. He does not want any part of a seventh game especially after he thinks over what hap- pened the National League champions of 1958. Those Milwaukee Braves had the Yankees on the floor but the Bombers managed to get to their feet and win all the marbles after trailing 3-1 in games. /

And so Mr. Podres will have a sharp eye on him. The firs sign of weakening out he'll come and another moundsman cea to the scene. It could be Larry Sherry once again but we have a strong feeling Alston won't tempt the gods too much. Sherry sure- ly has been tertifie for his club but the young righthander must

—- tired boy and this game today is no place for anyone who is

IT’S PRETTY HARD to expect today’s game to Tuesday's in the way of excitement. That was just about as good a ball game as you could ask for. Both managers conducted themselves as real big league pilots. with Lopez of course getting the nod for his great handling of his team when the heat was terrific in the seventh and eighth. It’s possible that we'd get a look at another spine-tingler today but the odds are a¢ainst it. One team is very liable to break this one open in the very early stages,

THE WHITE SOX Tuesday beat the Dodgers at their own game. The Pale Hose had *een leaving men on base far too of- fen-in games, two, three arid four. The Dodgers had the happy faculty of doing the job with a minimum of effort. But Tuesday was the different. White Sox pitchers, backed up by almost sen- sational fielding, left 11 Los Angeles rurners- stranded on the paths and there went the ball game.

The Chicago team al! during the regular season had been coming through with performances like Tuesday. This was the type of victory that had made them te American League cham- pions. However, unt? Tuesday the Dodgers were beating the White Sex at their owr gaine, winning ball games with very few hits.

CHICAG® SUPPORTERS maintain that their favorites ‘have the formula back now and the Dodgers will not grab ‘cheap’ vic- tories any more. When they talk about ‘cheap’ victories. they are referring to games won avith very few hits, but hits that come at the anvropriate time. The Dodgers had plenty of hits Tues- day but thev were all wasted because they came at times when they could not drive a runner across home plate. Hits are always nice to get but if you don’t.get them when you need them, your case ts hopeless. ; 5

However, Dodgers’ supporters aren’t blaming the Alstonites for their failure to come through Tuesday. They had that kind of an afternoon. coming to them and then vou have to give credit where credit is due. That credit for the Dodgers failure belongs to Lopez, his pitching staff and his great defensive play.

ANP SO the situation of one year ago {s back with us again.

Last Octeber Casey Stengel and his New York Yankees en- fered the series as favorites to beat the then-world champion Milwaukee Braves. However, after four games’ they found themselves trailing 3-1 and the experts didn’t give them much of a chance of' coming back. But they started their comeback and never stonped until thev had beaten the Braves in that seventh game hefore a.disappointed Milwaukee crowd.

The White Sox. successors to the Yankees as American Lea- gue champions, started out in great fashion in this series: with that opening 110 triumph. But they faded after that and lost three in a row 46 the Dodgers. Tuesday the Los Angeles gang had them on the renes but the Loper-men bobbed and weaved so that the Alstonites couldn’t land the knockout punch. Thev are still

very much alive and manager Lopez has openly stated that his club will do a repeat of what the Yankees did last vear. When the New Yorkers came from behind in 1958, it was

the first time in 33 years that a club hat trailed 3-1 in games and hounced back to win the series. The White Sox believe they can do it again this October and Dodgerg are just as confident that they can’t.

We still like those Dodgers in six games.

If Podres fails him, Alston has right-handed Don Drysdale ready for a seventh game on Friday. Of course, the handy man at all| times will be young Larry:Sherry | who worked ‘in three of the first) five games and allowed only one run in seven innings. i

HODGES LEADS

Hodges, making a fine eome- back after a so-so year in 1957, is the leading hitter among the regulars in the first five games with eight hits in 16 trips for a 444 average. He came through Tuesday with three of the nine Dodgers hits, including a triple, inthe fifth game.
