A cracking good outfield both defensive and offensive Old George Burns, getting perhaps the biggest salary In the Coast League as an Individual attraction, a good fielding infield, fair-to-good pitchers and a real catching staff are the Seattle components. The club should finish In the first division at least. It was a .good selling .year for Seattle, and Fred Knothe, Phil Page. Harry Taylor and Bill Lawrence were peddled to major clubs. - In some of the exchanges, Seattle got good men Just not up to major competition. Bill Dressen, sent from the Braves In the Knothe deal, is rated as good a fielder as was Knothe. He has a powerful arm, but Is no terrific hit ter. George . Burns, on first base, still can field and hit effectively in Class AA, and Eddie Muller at sec ond and Chick Ellsworth at short stop last year set a world record for double plays in one season. Cavort ing so well that Manager Ernie John son can't ignore him Is Pete Yonkers, 17, a shortstop. He looks like a great prospect, and he'll probably alternate with Ellsworth. Except Burns, none of these in fielders rates high as a slugger. The Outfield, strengthened by two hitting- veterans Pete Scott from the Missions and Charlie High from rndiahapolls has a punch. High hasn't hit under .330 In 10 years. Scott should hit .330. And there are two youngsters, Louie Almada, whom John McGraw of tho Giants made Into an outfielder, and "Dutch" Hol land. Almada hit .310 last year, and Holland hit .330. Seattle pitching has great poten tialities, if everything goes well. For instance, there's "Junk" Walters, thrown OVer by Portland. Walters, a right-hander, has sworrt vendetta oh Portland. When the San Fran cisco Seals sold htm as "Junk" to Portland, Walters also swore Vendetta. Tho Seals hooked Up with Portland ofter a sensational winning streak, leading the league. During the week, Walter pitched two games, caught one game, played third base and art outfield , and go ing in as a plnch-hltter, he clouted ! a home run. The Seals were badly beaten this scries, so waiters anti pathy for Portland moy tnean wins. Ho has a Very effective slow ball. Rudy Kalllo, smart veteran; Hal Turpln, cx-Seal via Chattanooga; Lyn Nelson, who cost the Cubs $45,000 two years ago, and Dick Bonnelly, with Sacramento last year, are new right-handers. Also heW are Bal Haid, from the Braves, and Bob Mc Graw, made a freo agent by the majors. Dick Freitas, youngster car ried last year, Bill Hartwlg. who stands 6 feet 4, and Irving Phillips are three young southpaWs. . . Price Groups by the Side $6.35 price $1,68 27c GRANDE TVT The Seattle club thought enough of the veteran Alex Gaston to bounce 10 grand for him last year. And they feel he's a good investment. An other Indian catcher, Frank Cox. clubbed a mean . .358 and nobody knows how the majors overlooked him. Prank Bottarinl, a sweet look ing youngster, rounds out the catch ing department. There have been far worse clubs in the Coast League than the 1032 model Indian. And there will be worse clubs this same season. Sport Slants Ity Alan J. Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) Tom Oliver, who covers an acre or two of centerfleld territory for the Boston Red Sox, missed moving In to the ranks of the champion Phila delphia Athletics, he says, because Connie Mack thought ho was a left- handed batter. v Tom was with Little Rock in the Southern association, going along at a fast clip, when he was drafted. oy me Aimeucs. oomewnere, mack got the idea that the Alabaman hit from the port side and since the A's didn't need that sort of outfield help at the ' time 1030 waivers were asked and Oliver was claimed by the Red Sox. Tom got away at once to a good start with the Red Sox, winning a regular berth in center. One day later In Philadelphia, Mack was surprised to see Oliver hitting from the right side and asked when he had shifted. "That's how close I came to sit ting on the bench of a pennant out fit," Tom drawled. "I got a good break with the Red Sox and was Just lucky enough to get a regular Job." GROVE TAMES JAVANESE Oliver has enlivened the Red Sox camp sessions this spring with his accounts of experiences on the trip with Fred Lleb's nil-star team to Japan. I could hit their pitching but I had a lot of trouble with those chop sticks," he laughs, "They gave us a lot of good com petition, at that, but the Japanese crowds were so In awe of fellows iike Lefty Grove that when a home player got so m,uch as a foul off Lefty it was the cause for an out burst of cheering. "The first time Grove went into the box late in the game he struck out the side in two successive in nings. The next time he pitched I think somebody ' hit a pop fly be tween strikeouts. "When that fellow bears down he has something. Before we left San Francisco, we played some exhibi tion games under the lights. Grove started a game and almost beaned the first batter with a fast boll. This so disturbed- Lefty that he .eased up. "iBed ' his hnlT-speed ball ' and was pounded all over the place.

Oliver, whose inqulsltiveness about baseball covers a wide range, spent some time pitching to Al Shwnons at Hot Springs before reporting to the Sox: camp for the purpose of studying the American league bat ting chunplon's form, j "Boyi-I'-ru telling you he hit every -' thing, high or low, to all parts," said Tom "The only thing he didn't seem to like especially was a ball (Just above the waist and lnrT, but I lie probably will murder that kind of a pitch, too, when he really gets warmed up." 1 1-r: x Cage Coaches In i Chicago Meeting !

Fleming, graduate manager of athletics at the United States military academy leaves West Point in June, 1933, his place in the ath letic department will be taken by Major L. D. Worsham, now 'district engineer at Memphis. This became known In Washing ton last night when announcement was made that Major Worsham will report to West Point on Aug. 1 of this year to serve as engineer In structor and also as understudy to Fleming until the letter's term) ends. Major Fleming was to have left West Point this yeaf but the trans fer to Louisiana State university of Captain Lawrence (Biff) Jones made It necessary for the major to remain for another year.

HERI 1,0 ERE CAROLS Major Leagues To Keep Eye On Their Finances Ily A Uni Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Apr. 1 m Faced with ten per cent taxation on their tickets and the risks of uncertain gate receipts, major league baseball clubs Will need to play their draw ing cards skillfully this year to keep from dipping ony further into the red Ink. . Only seven of the sixteen American and National league organizations b ho wed a profit at the close of 1931. The lopsided character of the two bennant races was largely responsioie for the slump in gate receipts but the national game, like every other . sport, has felt the pinch of the times. Player salaries have been reduced and player limit cut, to bring about e. saving estimated at about $780,000, but it will take additional measures to prevent further financial embarrass ment foir the magnates. John McGraw, blaming the um-r plres for too much pacifism, bellevcff the fans will turn out to see the ball players exhibit the scrsjppy spirit characteristic of McGraw's own play ing days. Many old-timers agree with the Giants' leader but it is more likely the crubs will rely on closer pennant races and exploita tions of indlviduol stars to stimulate keener Interest. . .. For example, one of the club own ers told me In Florida: "So long as th6 fans like it and will pay to see It, we will not object to clowning or a real show of aggressiveness by the players, providing of course they don't let ' it interfere with giving their best efforts on the field. I be lieve the fans like colorful action lh any sport, in other words a good show as well as a good game. We Will try to give It to thehu." Besides their drawing 'power as world champions, the Cardinals are well fixed for providing a "good show" with players such as Pepper Martin and Dizzy Dean. Martin was the big attraction of the grapefruit circuit, this spring and already has showr flashes of the speed and hitting that made him the hero of the 1931 world series. Dean, if he gets away to a good start, will help the clubs cash in on his ballyhoo. The Yankees, besides the perennial ace of all drawing cards Babe Ruth have a widely heralded young star in Frank Crosettl to attract the folks in tho Bronx. Arcoss the bridge, Brooklyn figures Hack Wilson's come back attempt will draw enough at the gate to offset at least his pur chase price $40,000.. The Boston Braves will allow Art Shires to do all the broadcasting he desires so long as he plays a satis factory first base. no doubt, too, the spirit of tho times will persuade Al Schaclit and Nick Altrock to patch up their dif ferences and again gPve the fans, as well as the Washington club, the benefit of their side-show stuff..
