100 Victory Goal Set for Chicago Sox By UNITED PRESS Marty Marion, who's been ac cused of being "too soft" to be a successful big league manager, demonstrated today that he'll tolerate no nonsense in his bid to lead the Chicago White Sox to their first pennant since 1919. The quiet-spoken former "Mr. Shortstop" cracked down with a $100 fine on Chico Carrasquel for missing Tuesday's workout and made it plain that more fines will be levied if necessary. It was the first disciplinary move of any kind taken by Marion since he became man ager of the White Sox. By LEO H. PETERSEN Tampa, Fla. U.PJ Frank Lane, the general manager of the White Sox, today set a 1955 goal of 100 victories for his new manager, Marty Marion. "That will be enough victor ies to win the American League pennant and I believe Marty has the horses to do it," he con fidently predicted. While admitting that the White Sox went "all out" to win . the pennant in 1954, he did not agree with those baseball men who feel his club is due to slip this season. "After all, we started to find out around the middle of last season what we lacked so we went about repairing the fences," Lane said. "And the re pair job we did makes the club 25 per cent stronger in my mind." Sees Stronger Competition He pointed out that the club won 94 games in 1954, the most games a White Sox team has won in 34 years, but still finish ed third 17 games behind the pennant winning Indians and nine games behind the second place Yankees. The Indians won 111 games, the Yankees 103. "No club is going to win 111 this season for the league is bet ter balanced and the second di vision clubs have be'en strength ened," Lane said. "But the In dians and Yankees have added strength, too, just as we have." He claimed that the deals which brought the White Sox first baseman Walt Dropo, out fielder Bob Nieman and pitcher Ted Gray from Detroit; catcher Clint Courtney, pitcher Bob Chakales and infielder Jim Bridweser from Baltimore; out fielder Lloyd Merriman from Cincinnati and third baseman Bill Serena from the Chicago Cubs "w ere sure fire to strengthen our bench." "This year's club possesses by far the best all around playing talent of any team which has represented Chicago in the American League for many years." Cousy Voted Top Player in NBA New York (U.R) Bob Cousy, the big man in the Bos ton Celtics' attack, today was named the outstanding player In the National Basketball as- ociation by New York basket ball writers. The former Holy Cross star also won the award In 1933 and joins George Mikan of the Minneapolis Lakers as the only players to win the ward twice. The gafftopsail is a salt-water catfish.
