Chicago White Sox Could'Go All the Way' (Editors note: This Is the nth I In a scries on the 1955 prospects of the major league clubs). By LEO II. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor TAMPA, Fla. (UP) Marty Marion, although admitting there "a few if's here and there," 'thinks his Chicago White Sox could 'gr all the way. He bases Hint opinion on the that he acquired a stronger bench and more hitting power "without giving up anyone we needed." But most baseball men feel that unless he comes up with at least a hard-hitting left- handed outfielder, the White Sox won't have power enough to win the American League pennant.

Marlon points to Ihe addition of th-ee men as grounds for thinking his club will have more power. They are big Walt Dropo, the first baseman obtained from the Tigers; catcher Clint Courtney, acquired from the Orioles, and outfielder Bob Nieman, who also came from the Tigers. Dropo will have to hit or lose his first base job to the veteran Phil Cavarrctta or lion Jackson, the bonus baby who hit .280 last season. Nellie Fox and Chico Carrasqucl are fixtures at second and short, and George Kcll will win the third base job if he recovers from the injuries which sidelined him the end of last season. Bill Serena, purchased from the Cubs, will take over third if Kell can't make it, with Jim Brideweser sure of an infield utility job, Rookies Stan Jok and Joe Kirrene, who hit .343 at Colorado Springs last season, are other infield candidates.

As his big five of the pitching staff, Marion has southpaws Billy Pierce (9-10), and Jack Harshmnn (14-8), and right-handers Virgil Trucks Sandy Consueyra (16-3) and Bob Keegan (16-9). Harry Dorish (G-4) will be. the No. 1 fireman with Bob Chakales, 5-7 with Baltimore last season, and Uie veteran Al Brazie, who won five and lost four with the Cardinals, also ticketed for bullpen duly. Anrfther possible starter is Ted Gray, a Tiger castoff who won only three while losing five for Detroit last season.

Dick Donovan, an IB- game winner with Atlanta; Mike Fornieles, back for another try after winning- seven at Charleston in 1954; Connie Johnson, who' won 17 at Toronto, and holdover Morrle Martin (7-8), are other possibilities. Sherman Lollar and Courtney will share the catching, with Lollar the No. 1 man. Marion, however, may platoon nis catchers with Lollar hitting against southpaws and Courtney taking over against right- handers. In the outfield it will be Minnie Minoso in left, Johnny Groin in center and Jim Rivera in right.

If Bob Nieman regains his batting eye he will see plenty of action although he is no. up to the other three regulars defensively. The veterans Willard Marshall and Lloyd Merriman, obtained from the Cincinnati Redlegs, probably will win the other outfield reserve spots. Marion, however, still is hopeful that the club swing a deal bringing him a left-handed hitting outfielder. Rivera', Marshall and Merriman are southpaw slingers, but lack power.

Writer Sees A's, Yanks Brewing Massive Swap CHICAGO (UP)--Spokesmen for the New York Yankees and Kansas City Athletics today denied rumors of an impending deal (hat "could rock baseball to its foundations." The deal allegedly involves a swap of five Yankees for pitcher Arnold Portocarrero of the Athletics.

It was reported Monday by Edgar Munzol in a dispatch to the Chicago Sun-Times. Muhzel said first baseman Eddie Robinson, catcher Charley Silvera and pitcher Art Schallock were among Hie Yankees to be traded. But at the Florida training camps, both Personnel Director Ray Kennedy of the A's and Gen- Lombardo to Fight Sugar Ray Tonight CINCINNATI, Ohio (UP)--Johnny Lombardo will use a crowding strategy once he finally gets Sugar Ray Robinson into the ring at Cincinnati Garden tonight. Lombardo, 25, of Mount Carmel decided on the attack after watching Ralph (Tiger) crowd Robinson into defeat recently. The Pennsylvanian, with 32 wins, 12 losses and two draws, ended Monday with only light calisthenics to keep loose for the bout, as did Robinson who coasted after three days of rigorous training at the Ezzard Charles gym.

eral Manager George Weiss of New York denied the reported deal. And in Kansas City, A's Business Manager Parke Carroll said he knows "nothing about any deal to be consummated with the New York Yankees." Munzcl said the alleged deal might touch off a charge of "syndicate baseball" and "the resultant explosion could rock baseball to the foundations." The affairs of the two clubs have been so "closely intertwined that the A's not only look like a Yankee affiliate, but many contend that they actually are," he He noted that Carroll, Kennedy and Bill MacPhail, promotion director of the Athletics, are former Yankee employees. He added that A's owner Arnold Johnson recently sold the Yankee Stadium to John W. Cox, Chicago, who is a "long- 1 time friend and associate of Johnson's." The Stadium deal, Munzel said, was referred to as a "dummy deal" in the opinion of "most baseball men." He said the announcement of the trade is being withheld to "make it look as if the A's actually gave the other clubs in the league a chance to get the star hurler."
