CHICAGO -Los Angeles man-
ager Walter Alston doesn't expect
:to slow the "Go-Go" Chicago
White Sox down to a walk, but
,neither does he believe the fleet-
,footed American League cham-
,pions will run his Dodgers into
,the ground.
- He is convinced he has the per-
,sonnel to cope with the White
,Soxs vaunted speed.
In catcher John Roseboro, the
Dodgers have just the man who
,can keep Luis Aparicio, Nellie Fox,
Jim Landis and company honest,
,Alston believes.
Strong Arm
i "A 'lot of people don't realize
;that we have as good a throwing
icatcher as there is in baseball,"
EARLY WYNN
...starts today
he said. "Roseboro is as good right
now as Roy Campanella ever was
as a thrower. I think the White
Sox are going to be surprised if
they think they can take liberties
with John's arm.
"I'm not in the least under-
estimating the White Sox' speed.
Our scouts have warned us there
is plenty of run in the Sox, and
if we don't keep them glued to the
bases it could be costly. But I
think my man Roseboro is capable
of handling the challenge."
Fast Also
"I'll concede that the White Sox
are faster than we are," he said,
"but, over-all, our team speed
compares favorably with theirs.
They're not going to have the big
running advantage that everyone
thinks. They steal bases, but they
also have a couple of slow runners.
The Dodgers don't have anybody
who can be called blocks on the
bases."
Alston also indicated Larry
Sherry, 'the young right-hander
who hurled so brilliantly in relief
in the Dodgers' first playoff game
victory over the Braves Sunday,
would start the second game
against the. White Sax.
His current plans are for Don
Drysdale, his ace, to open in Los
Angeles Sunday with a left-
hander, probably Johnny Podres,
working the fourth game.
Tigers Select DeW itt as New Boss
Tigers. Most recently Gehringer1
has been vice president.
Not Needed
One report was that he resigned
because he did not like the way.
the club was being run. Officials
said yesterday that Gehringer
simply was "not needed any more
since we have a strong baseball;
man in Bill DeWitt at the top:'
The shakeup came at a regular
meting of the board of directors.
Some members of the board had
been negotiating with DeWitt for
several months.
One of the majority stockhold-
ers, Kenyon Brown, described the
action as "the perfectly logical,
normal thing to do."
Asked what brought it about so
suddenly, Brown replied:
"The desire to have a winning
baseball team."
New Coach
The Tigers also announced the
hiring of ex-Chicago White Sox'
star Luke Appling to replace Tom-,
my Henrich as first base coach
for the 1960 season.
Appling, who played for Tiger
manager Jimmy Dykes at Chicago
from 1933-1946, is best remem-
bered for his ability to foul off
pitches until he got the pitch he
wanted.
For the past two seasons Ap-
pling has been managing Memphis
of the Soutlgern Association. He
also held managerial positions at
Richmond and Atlanta since his
retirement as an active player in
1950. He was out of baseball in
1956.

CHICAGO - Dick Tiger, the
British Empire Middleweight
Champion, last night pounded out
a unanimous 10-round decision
over Joey Giardello in Chicago
Stadium.
Giardello, whose winning streak
ended at three bouts, was unable
to cope with Tiger's effective left
hooks. The 10 rounds were routine
and without bloodshed.

than just a sore arm. He was ter-
rible."
And when a 29-8 hurler looks as
poorly as Cicotte did, sore arm or
no, there rightfully could be room
for suspicion. The Reds took the
opener, 9-1.
More Legitimate
The second game had a more
legitimate appearance, although
the Sox, with Claude "Lefty" Wil-
liams, lost once more, 4-2. 1
Then came Fisher's one and only
Series showing.
"As far as I was concerned the
fix certainly wasn't on then," says
Fisher, looking back on his 3-0 de-'
feat.
He was only partially right. The
fix was on without any question. It
was Just that Fisher's, mound op-
ponent, Dickie Kerr, would have
nothing to do with Abe Attell and
the rest of the hoodlums.
"Kerr threw a three-hitter
against us and one of those hits
wasn't of the solidest variety," the
72-year old Fisher relates. "I got
it, just a little trickler down the
third-base line."
Trickery Backfires
It's with a sly chuckle that Fish-
er, former Michigan baseball coach
for 38 years, tells how his own
trickery cost him a run in the
game.
"I had slippery elm hidden in
my glove that I used to rub on the
ball," he reveals. "It would make
one side rough and the pitch would
usually sink at fast ball speed.
"Well, one batter hit an easy
shot back to me. I reared back to
throw to A~rst and-whoosh-the
elm made the ball shoot up over
the first baseman's head."
Fisher saw no more action in the
Series as his mates went on to

Discovered Later
It wasn't until near the end, of
the following season that all the
facts came to light and one of the
greatest teams ever assembled be-
came reduced to a skeleton with-
out its -crooked stars.
The 1920 season was also Fish-
er's last as he chose college ball
over the pros. This decision made
him none too popular with base-
ball commissioner Judge Kenesaw
M. Landis, who even blacklisted
him for a time.
It is perhaps symbolic that Fish-
er hasn't paid as much as the
price of admission to see a Series
