cific Coast conference and Ounzaga
University athletic coaches.

the Big Ten conference.
The general opinion of the Oregon
campus Was that cither William J.
Re in hart or Prince O. Calllson, pres
ent members of the coaching staff,
would succeed Spears. .
Rumors had It that Mike Pecaro
yich, Gpnzaga grid coach, has been 1
recommended for the Eugene job or
that Slip Madlgan. St. Mary's men
tor, might go to Oregon and Pecaro-
Vlch move from Spokane to the Cali
fornia institution.

; had received an offer of another po

Seattle's at tho top of the' Coast
League geographlcolly and this
year's edition if the Indians impres
ses the casual observer as an outfit
that ought to get places and be a
factor.
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. . .

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.

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.

AL OIVKS LENNOX .
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 -'

Tom "The only thing he didn't

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..
