  • Go-Go to Glory
    Durable Lollar found niche as White Sox anchor, run-producer By John McMurray Soft spoken and self-effacing, Sherman Lollar provided a strong defensive presence be-hind the plate during his 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox. An All-Star catcher in seven seasons of his 18-year major-league career, Lollar won the first three American League Gold Glove awards from 1957 through 1959. Although he was not known as a power hitter, Lollar hit 155 career home runs and collected 1,415 hits. He also produced one of the White Sox’ few bright moments in the 1959 World Series apart from their Game One victory, a two-out, three-run homer that tied Game Four in the seventh inning. (Unfortunately the Sox lost that game, 5-4.) Even though Lollar played well and received awards during the 1950s, he did not receive as much national recognition as fellow catcher Yogi Berra, who won three Most Valuable Player awards. As Red Gleason wrote in The Saturday Evening Post in 1957, “It is the fate of some illustrious men to spend a career in the shadow of a contemporary. Adlai Stevenson had his Dwight Eisenhower. Lou Gehrig had his Babe Ruth. Bob Hope had his Bing Crosby. And Sherman Lollar has his Yogi Berra.” John Sherman Lollar Jr. was born on August 23, 1924, in Durham, Arkansas. His father, John Sherman Lollar Sr., had been a semipro baseball player and was a veteran of World War I. When Lollar Jr. was three years old, he moved with his family to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where his parents opened a grocery store.

    Win, Lose, or Draw Tribe By FRANCIS E. STANN latsWip KncfgMg Oooooh-Day for the Autograph Hounds Probably the first toumairient at which the genuine, bug-bitten golf fan* were outnumbered turned out to be one of the bigger and more democratic social events of the season. Mingling with Secre- tary of the Navy Porrestal, Gens. Eisenhower, Grove and Bradley, Admiral Nlmitz, Senator Taft and Attorney Gen- eral Clark, among others, were upward of 7,000 other guests of the Columbia Country Club, com- posed chiefly of autograph hounds and camera fiends. And who do you suppose most of the guests came to see? Der Bingle. Harry Lillis Crosby. As far as the people were concerned Bing was the biggest celebrity in the Celebrities Tournament. Bing Crosby is owner of a major league baseball team and there were two other baseball owners on hand, Clark Griffith and Del Webb. But neither owns a set of pipes like Crosby. That was the difference. That was the difference between Bing and Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Bobby PMaeb BUnn Jones, Gene Sarazen, Babe Didrikson and even Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler, a well-known tenor. It was the star-gazer’s dream come true. It was manna from Heaven for the camera shop*, whose cupboards must be empty of film. It was Oooooh-Day for the bobby soxers and autograph hounds. And for the comparatively small number of old-time golf fans the glorious pages of time were turned back when Jones, Sarazen, Bobby Cruick- shank and Walter Hagen played in the same foursome.
