For Battey, the series meant a
lot. At "a, he was getting a chance
which many players do not enjoy
during their entire major league
career. He would have loved to
be in there with the rest, swing
ing. Who knows? He might even
have been Series hero.
AS it turned out, however, the
only series honor Battey enjoyed
besides sharing in the record play
ers' pool, was to take batting prac-
tice with his teammates and sit il
out in the dugout. He deserved a
better fate.
This was Battey's second season

FAUBUS CHANGES MIND,
MONT CLOSE SCHOOLS

Little Rock CAMP - Shifting
his former stand, Gov. Faubus
said last Wednesday he probably
would not" close the city's partly
integrated high schools now "even
if the Supreme court should rule
he has authority to do so."
Faubus is appealing to the high
court from a decision of a three
judge federal court voiding the
law under which he closed the high
schools against indignation in 1858.
He mailed the appeal the day be-
fore he announced his change of
heart to the press"
with circumstances the way
they are now, I don't think
would close the schools. Whether
they like it or not, the people of
Little Rock are reconciled to the
police state rule of federal author
tiles and the local police depart
ment," he said.

the second game for the Dodgers
and played a decisive role in the
others.
John Roseboro is the fellow
whose throwing arm cut down the
White Sox on the base paths and
stopped their running game. A
protege of Campanella, the most
celebrated Dodger catcher, Rose
boro, in single series game, threw
out three runners, including speed
merchant, Luis Aparicio, without
even bothering to come out Of his
crouching position. Roseboro COL
lected only 2 hits in Fl times-at-
bat, but had 1000 fielding aver
age He also caught all six games.
Top Glove Man
For a fellow who wasn't even on
the Dodgers roster when the sea-
son began, Maury Wills provided
series fans with several thrills.
Fast and agile, Maury goes faster
to his left than the much-talked-
about Luis Apuricio. Maury really
makes EN- look easy. In one Of
the games in L. A., he made a
sensational play behind second
base which helped saved the day
for reliefer Larry Sherry. Wills
made one error afield to mar an
otherwise perfect fielding record.
He batted $50.
Junior Gillian, an excellent lead
off man, caused the Sox plenty of
headaches both at bat and in the
field. A switch hitter, Gillian was
4-for-5 in the fifth game and wound
up with a .24O batting average
His fielding at thirdbase, mean
while, left little to be desired.
For the White Sox, Al Smith
a jack-of-all trades, came up with
several good defensive plays and
clutch hitting. 1t was his two-base
! hit in the second game of the series
with Earl Torgeson drumming for
Ted Kluszewsk) and Sherman Lol-
lar on base which drove in a run
and almost tied up the game. Smit-
ty batted $50 and was used both
in right and leftfield, his regular
position.

Meanwhile. the series was the
richest in baseball history and
marked the second, time tan play
ers were sharing in a record-break-
ing classic. Judging from early
returns, each Dodger should collect
between $4,000 to $4,000. Mem
bers of the losing Sox should get
about $4,000.
The previous record player pool
was 1881, 1882, set in 1854 when

Sox's Baffey
Forgotten Man
In World Series
BY Charles j. livingston

10y SALhIECb o.
Chicago (Comiskey Park -
Sherman Lollar saw action daily
and Johnny Romano appeared as
pinch hitter in the sixth game,
but Earl Battey. fine catcher
though he is, rode the bench
throughout the World Series be-
tween the Chicago White Sox and
Los Angeles Dodgers. He was the
FORGOTTEN MAN on the Sox
team.
OF course, the Dodgers with
Manager Walt Aston utilizing his
tan talents to the fullest, won
the series-four games to two,
clinching it Thursday with a crush
ing go victory before a disillus-
toned Comiskey Park turnout Of
1858.
I am not really trying to censor
or second-guess Manager AL Lopez
of the Pale Hose. But one won
ders why the fleet Negro catcher
was not even used as a pinch run
ner.
One instance where Battey's
speed might have paid off was in
the eighth inning of the second
game, which the Dodgers won 4-3.
This was also the game in which
Dodger second baseman, Charlie
Neal, smashed two home runs
the second, a two-run, 410 feet
blast.
Anyway, the Sox were rallying
in the inning to overcome a AZ
deficit. The rally started when
Ted Kluszewski, the Sox muscle
man, singled to center. Lollar fol-
lowed and rammed a single off
Gilliam's glove. Gillian could not
make a play, but slowed up the
/ DoA ShOu6h " hCCP nlu VII SCI
ond. Sherm stopped at first.
At this point, the veteran Earl
Torgeson was sent in to run for
Klu. However, Lollar, noted for
his slowness, was allowed to run
for himself. This, in the estimation
of many, possibly cost the Sox the
game.
Al Smith was up next, and he
hit a screaming line drive into left
centerfield, the ball bouncing off
the wall. BY the time it was re-
covered, Torgy had legged it home.
But Lollar, running like a pillow
horse, decided to make it home
and was nailed at the plate on a
fine relay from Dodger shortstop
Maury Wills to catcher Johnny
Roseboro. That was all the help
relief hurler Larry Sherry wanted,
and he breezed to the victory.
With Battey on the base paths,
the run might have scored and the
game saved. In fact, Earl could
have even run for Klu. He Is GER
tainly faster than Torgy-and
younger.
Battey could not possibly have
hurt the Sox in series play. Earl
is not a long ball hitter, or fence
buster, it is true, but he is one of
the finest young catchers, a good
handler of pitchers, and possesses
the strongest, most accurate
throwing arm in the American
League,"-to quote the sox.
The only excuse Lopez could
make for keeping Battey out of
the lineup would be the worn
statement that Earl is a weak
hitter. But Battey did not really
get much Of a chance to prove his
worth at the plate.
In 20 games during the regular
season, he went to bat "a times,
compared to 127 for Romano, the
other rookie catcher. He collected
IA hits. including two triples and
two home runs, for a .219 batting
average. Romano had 81 hits, five
homers and batted POI.
However, everyone knows that
Battey is a far better backstop
than Romano and might have cas-

Chicago (ANP) - For the first
half Of the 1858 season, the Cleve-
land Browns looked like world
beaters-with Jimmy Brown rush.
ing land we do mean rushing) to-
ward an aIl-time pro football
groundgaining mark.
Then the bottom seemed to fall
out and the Browns were tied by
the New York Giants in regular
season play and the Giants whip
ped them in the Eastern Division
playoff, only to lose the pulsating
title game to the Baltimore Colts.
With Brown back and looking
again like the greatest ball-carry-
ing threat in history, Coach Paul
Brown is pointing to regain foot
ball supremacy for his team.
Joining Jimmy Brown on the
Cleveland roster are Leroy Bolden,
Bobby Mitchell, Willie McClung,
Willie Davis and Frank Clarke.
Browns Key To Victory
Brown, of course, is the man the
Browns will depend on. He gained
1927 yards last season in crack
ing the all-time rushing record in
a single season. In 257 carries, he
averaged SO yards and the Browns
top scorer.
This season, it has become ap-
parent that his speed, stiffness
and brute force will again be what
the Browns need to get off to a
running start in its division. One
of the Browns opponents this year
will be the Colts.
Perhaps one of the reasons the
Browns lost to the late-season re-
surgence of the Giants last year
was the fact that Coach Brown
refused to use Bobby Mitchell to
any extent in the last five games
of the season.
Mitchell's great broken field
running had complimented the pile
driving of fullback Brown. He
gained 500 yards from scrimmage,
most of them in the first six
games.
BOIden Sticks
Despite the fact that he was
used sparingly in the late stages,
the former, Illinois speedster was
second in the NFT in punt re-
turns and No. in kickoff run
backs. This year he has been de-
finitely installed as the Browns
running halfback.
Bolden, used for kickoff and
punt returns last year, was in a
precarious position near cut down
time. But the plunEy former Mich
igan State star was determined
to stick with the team. He also
was used little as a running half
back last year.
One of the players to watch this
season for the Browns is the end
Clarke. The former Colorado star
has been used little in his first
two seasons in pro football, but he
has seen plenty Of action as
TANKER in the exhibition season
and might prove a standout.
Willie McClung, the ex-Florida
A & M performer who was picked
up by the Browns last season, fig
ures a regular tackle.
Willie Davis, who played both
defensive end and tackle last sea-
son, is being used as an offensive
tackle now. Davis was one Of the
marginal players and might be cut
before the season begins. He is
from Grambling.
Newcomers to the Browns in
clude Floyd Peters, a defensive
tackle, and John wooten, an Of
fensive guard.
Wooten, another former Colorado
player, and Peters, a San Jose
State College product, hope to
stick because they can play both

Of the victories were scored in
Los Angeles before the largest Ser
les crowds in history and the other
two right here in the Sox baili-
wick.
Teams Stin Popular
For my part, the element which
figured the most in the Dodgers
victory was teamwork. Pitching
and hitting played a major role
and hustle also paid off, but the
Dodgers are champs today be-
cause they were able to play great
ball together as a team. You don't
have to take my word for it. Just
check the records.
Going into Thursdays finale, the
Dodgers as a team was batting
.257 and fielding 1871, compared
to $50 and .979 for the Sox, who
were supposed to be tighter on
defense. They outhit the Sox Thurs
day in the go clincher, 1875 and
committed no errors while the
Chicagoans made one, so the aver
ages stand.
Teamwork has been a trademark
with the Dodgers for years. And
particularly since Robinson broke
the race taboo while playing with
the team, the Dodgers have always
chosen the best men for each posi-
ton, regardless of race or other
considerations. That is why the
team is still so popular throughout
the country.
In this series, for instance, the
Dodgers fielded a virtual all-Negro
infield, but I am sure the other
players didn't give it a thought
They wanted to win above all
What's more, all the players came
through.
