European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 5, 1962, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The Stak and stripes White sox to emphasize by Leo h. Petersen Sarasota Fla. Up it s going to be the go go go Chicago White sox again this year and manager Al Lopez an incurable Optimist insists they have the wherewithal to win the american league Pennant. The Yankees can be beaten and we re the dub to do it said Lopez. He has said that every Spring since he started managing in the major leagues with Cleveland Back in 1951 and has been right Only  won with the indians in 1954 and with the White sox in 1959, being the Only manager who has beaten out the Yankees in the past a 12 years. M  since that 1959 Victory Lopez has been slipping Down Grade. His 1960 White sox finished third his of yank last year s club fourth the Ohio two finishes he has had below first or second place. Thoret two finishes convinced Lopez he was wrong when he revamped the White sox Lor the 1960 season sacrificing Speed pitching and defense for Power. So he let go such Veteran Power hit these Are seventh of 19 Dis Patcher on the 1968 prospects of the american and National Ickow baseball clubs. Tomorrow tha san Francisco giants and the Baltimore orioles ters As Roy Sievers and Minni Minoso and Veteran pitchers Billy Pierce and Don Larsen to get More youth on the club. When we won in 1959." explained Lopez we won on Speed pitching and defense. That is what we Are going to feature in 1962." for Minoso the White,.sox received Joe Cunningham from the St. Louis cardinals and he will take Over the first base Post held Down most of last season by Sievers. For Sievers they got third base Man Charlie Smith and Pitcher John Buzhardt from the Phillies for Pierce and Larsen they received first baseman outfielder Bob Farley and pitchers Eddie Fisher and Dom Zannol from the san fran Cisco giants Lopez figures that Buzhardt despite his 6-18 record with Phila Delphia will be one of his regular starters along with Juan Pizarro 14-7frank Baumann 10-13ray Herbert 9-6 with the White sox and 34 with Kansas City and Rookie Joel Horlen who won 12 at san Diego last season.

And even then question whether he Leld or  Milwaukee. Play both positions at Lite even though he chitin 120 runs and .327 last year. Birdie Tebbeu Hopes rid Mack Jones will spent Enfield Job to Aaron to right the position Jones batted ,336 in 97. It w v t1 i Warren Spalin. 4 of going like 60 games at Louisville last season but Only 531 in 28 games with the braves Lee Maye a .271 hitter with the braves in 1961, is the left fielder. The other Outfield candidates arc rookies Howard Bedell who hit .327 at Louisville and Len Gabriel son who batted .278 with the Sam club. Tebbetts who left his front of fice Job to replace Charlie dres Senas manager late last season believes the prime reason for the braves failure to win the National league Pennant since 1958 is Ajack of Speed. He says hell emphasize it this year. Birdie also plans to use everyone of his pitchers with the exception of 41-year-old Warren spun in Relief if Tho occasion demands. So he says anyway. 20-Wln habit Spahn will be shooting for his seventh straight 20-Victory season. Hell have to slow Down sometime and if this happens to be the year the braves might finish even lower than the fourth place Windup they managed last year. Tebbetts thinks Spahn will be All right though. The amazing lefty will take his regular starting turn along with Lew Burdette 18 11bob Buhl t9-10. Cariton Wil Ley 6-12and Bob Shaw obtained during the Winter from the athletics for whom he compiled a 12-14  is expecting improve ment from three of his younger hurlers Tony Cloninger 7-2bob Hendley 5-7 and Don Nottebart 6-7and he d better get some improvement from his bullpen. Do Mcmahon 6-4 and Ron Piche 2-2 will work strictly in Relief. If Milwaukee s Outfield were As Good As its infield most of the braves troubles would be Over. Joe Adcock is at first base Frank boiling at second Roy Mcmillan at shortstop and Eddie Mathew sat third Adcock still one of the better sluggers in the league at 34, hit 35 homers last year while driving in 108 runs and batting .285. Boiling and Mcmillan form one of the bes double play combinations in the circuit and Mathews can be counted on to come close to the 32 Hom ers 91 Bis and .306 average he produced last season. Aaron s younger brother Tom Mie who hit .299 at Austin Lou klan Shock acquired along with Shaw from the a a and. Amado Samuel a .250 hitter with Louis Ville All May be retained for Utility purposes. Like the infield the catching is Strong. Joe Torre already is being hailed by some As the no. 1 receiver in the league. He hit .342 at Louisville last year then was brought up by the braves and had 10 homers along with a .278 aver age. Del Crandoll out most of Las season with a shoulder ailment appears almost completely recovered and Tebbetts also thinks highly of still a third Catcher on the roster 27-year-old Bob Uecker who had a .309 average with Louis Ville Milwaukee fans should t be to disappointed if the braves Don t win this year. President Johnny Mchale insists the current crop of youngsters looks like a sure pen Nant Winner for the future. Mchale probably is right but there in t too much Hope for this year. Season with a Tore Arm and when is Only eight victories to be acc the coveted 300-Gamfr winning Mark is another starting possibility. If his Arm come around 09 a think it will he not Only will Wii those eight games but maybe seven or eight More said Lopez. Another question Mark hurlers Herb score. I Haven t Given up on him by a Long shot Lopez  won eight and lost two lost season before he was disabled. Score was 7-0 at son Diego and then won one and Tost two with the White sox. Turk Lown 7-5zannol 4-4 at Tacoma and 1-1 with the giants and Fisher 9-5 at Tacoma and 0-2 with the giant probably will form the bullpen  he hit Only j286 with the cardinals last year with Only seven homers and 40 runs batted in. Cunningham will Start at Liis base with Farley who hit .307 at Tacoma. And j. C. Martin in re serve. Smith hit Only .248 with the Phillies and dodgers but Wlsh Start out at third with Martin Al Smith or Billy Goodman taking Over i needed. Two outfielders set shortstop and second base Are set with Luis Aparicio .272 and Nellie Fox .251respectively. Sam Esposito will be available to Back them  Outfield positions Are cer Tain with Fleet Jim lands .283with 22 hrs and 85 Bis in Center and Floyd Robinson ,310 with 11 Era and 59 rib in left. Rookie Mike Herschberger. Who hit .310 at san Diego and then batted .309 with the White sax when they called him up late in the season has the inside track forthe Loftfield Job. If he does t make it Al Smith .278 with 28 hrs and93 Bis will take Over Farley who batted .307 at Tacoma also can take Over an Outfield spot i not needed for first base. Sherm Lollar who hit .281 with seven hrs and 41 Bis last sea son and Cam to Carreon will share the catching duties. Carreon came on fast last season when Lollar was injured and wound up hitting .271 with four hrs and 27rbis. The Light hitting Bob Rosella will be the no. 3 receiver. There is no doubt the White so have picked up Speed youth and defense in their of season  May look Tike enough to Lopez to give the club a real shot at the Pennant but not too Many baseball people will agree wit him. But then there were few base Ball people who thought Lope would derail the Yankee express in 1954 and 1959. If the White sox go go go As in the latter year Lopez May have himself another Pennant club.
