The contract signing was an nounced in typically flamboyant fashion by Sox President 'Bill Veeck, who said Lopez was re hired only for next year at his own request. Veeck unveiled a billboard sized placard on which an en larged version of Lopez’s new contract was printed. "This confracl has been puffed up io its huge size be cause it's the largest ever giv en a White Sox player or man ager," said Veeck. The announcement was made to a horde of writers and photog raphers. just after Lopez had started an intrasquad Sox game to warm up for the World Series which starts either tomorrow or Friday in Comiskev Park. Lopez .had worked the past three seasons for the Sox on a ycar-to-vear basis, presumably receiving between $35,000 and $40,000 for the current season in 'which the Sox won the Amer ican League pennant. The highest paid Sox player is believed io be second sacker Nellie Fox, receiving slightly more than $40,000 for ihe pres ent year.

(/P)—The cause of illnesses suffered by Oklahoma football players before the Northwestern game in Evanston, 111., Saturday became an issue yesterday between the team’s physician and Chicago health authorities. In Chicago, Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Chicago health dnector. repoited tests for chemi cal metallic or narcotic poisoning in food consumed at a Chicago nightclub were negative. Dr. Edward Press, health com missioner in suburban Evans ton said one laboratory test in dicated the players may have eaten contaminated turkey for lunch at the Orringlon Hotel. However, he said three separate tests ruled out any possibility knockout pills or narcotics might have figured in the illnesses Press said one test showed the turkey uncontaminated but a sec ond showed the presence of staph loceocci, a bacteria that some times can contaminate meat and cause stomach up.-el. He said stomach upset caused by such bac teria usually has its onset 30 min utes to two hours after the food is eaten. Seven hours had elapsed from the time the players had lunch and were stricken. Dr. W. G. (Mike) Willard, Oklahoma learn physician, said he disagreed with lhe report of the Chicago health authorities and contended it was the fruit cocktail served at the Chez Paree supper club that caused lhe illness. He said: j “The Chicago Board of Health questioned the food served Thurs 'day noon at the Hotel Orrington in Evanston. The board wanted to blame the food in Evanston which had been turkey sandwiches. i "I am certain that it was notj that food because Jimmy Harris,! assistant coach, who was one of the ill, ate lunch with the coaches in a separate room away from the players and did not eat a tur key sandwich.” } WEDNESDAY.
