Lane Eyes Departure from Chisox in Rising Tensions
Chicago (AP) Sports columnist Warren Brown says White Sox general manager Frank Lane will quit soon though timing is uncertain. Lane faced a recent rift with AL president Will Harridge and umpire Cal Hubbard, was fined by Ford Frick, and criticized Umpire Larry Napp’s game-ousting of Sherman Lollar. Chuck Comiskey indicated Lane could stay, but Brown cites this as the start of the end. Lane voiced frustration in Boston saying he would not resign but could not “take much more.”
