wild explosion by the disappoint

covered Coliseum.
The lights were burning bright
ly as they moved to the last of
the 12th, still locked at 5-5. Stan
Williams, sixth Dodger pitcher,
and Bob Rush, the fifth Milwau

as though they expected to stay

Wally Moon, the Dodgers’ lead
off hitler, popped out to Bobby

three hitless and scoreless relief
innings, filed out.
Gil Hodges, one of the Dodgers’
old pros of previous World Series,

Lopez Gets
$50,000 To
Head Chisoxi
CHICAGO UP)—A record Chi
cago White Sox contract, calling
for an estimated $50,000, yester-'
day was handed Manager A 1 Lo-,
pez to direct the American
League pennant winners again'
in 1960.
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.
Lopez said he was "tickled to
death to come back.” The 51-
year-old manager from Tampa.
Fla., explained he agreed to man
age only in 1960 because “maybe
they’ll get tired of me by then.”
Asked if he could “get tired’’
of the White Sox. Lopez replied:
“I don’t think so.”

Hot Dispute
Over Sooner
NORMAN,OkIa. (/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.” }
