Chicago White jox Holding Flag Hopes ATLANTA, Ga. UP While the Yankees and Indians map plans to beat each other, the underestimated Chicago White Sox are quietly plotting to upset 'em both. General manager > Frank Lane insists the White Sox would be a good bet\ to win the American League pennant if they could land one more dependable pitcher. Lane is trying to get such a hurler but even if he fails, he feels hib team is a legitimate pennant possibility. “I wouldn’t trade our infield \for any other one in baseball,” he says. “Ferris Fain r in addition to being the beat hitter in the league te also the best defqhsiv© first baseman. Nellie Fox is the kind Cf fellow who can Jead the league in base hits and I don’t have to tell you about his work at second base “Chico . Carrasquel, at shortstop, look's like the. Carrasqual of 1950 and >all we hope is that he keep-’ playing the way he has this spring. “At third base, Vern Stephens not only is showing well defensive-, ly but he’s been blasting that long ball for us. We have no -kicksjit all about our infield.” , The White Sox are even deep in infield reserves witn smpoth-field-ing Rocco Krsnich, versatile Sam Dense" and hard - throwing Fred Marsh.. , Manager Paul ' Richards, Who claims the White Sox can beat both the Yankees and Indians “if we live up to our potential,” says his outfield Is set with Minnie Minoso in left, fleet Jiip Rivera in Venter and Sam Mellein right. Rookie Bill Wilson is pressing all three for a job, hpWever, while "Ed Stewart and Tom Wright are the other outfield availably. There was considerable consternation in the Chicagb camp this spring when sduthpaW Bill Pierce came down with a sore arm but the slender ace bf the staff has pitched brilliantly since then and the White Sox no longer are Worried. ' Right-hander Saul Rogovin, a notoriously late starter, has- gotten |o£f, wsU this d says, “I still can’t believe. .it.’s true.” But it is, much to the Satisfaction of the Sox. Veteran curve-halier Joe DOlxgon ,is the third starter -while fftstballer Lou Kretjow will lie the number four man if he can curb his wildness, y Rookie ,catcher Bob (Red) Wilson has chught Richards’ eve behind the'plate but Sherm Loilwr, who provides the long ball occasionally', still figures to b e the number oijd receiver!
