So the Los Angeles Aiik'-Ik, winner:- .if I ho l!M4 and l!)4.'l Pacific Coast league pennant races, will take the field Saturday against the San Francisco Seals favored to win their third consecutive flag in the Ilia-game race. Loatled wilh such stars as Lou Novikoff and Rip Russell: pilot ed hv list ulr Manager liill Swee ney and in line In (jet additional material from the Chicago Cuhs if they need it. the Angels .should be the class of the field. However, there appears In lw: the making of a ding-dong hattle over the horizon all through Hie league and the United Press ad mittedly noes out on a limb to predict the season will end with the teams finishing in this order: I -Los Angeles Angels.: 2 Seattle Hainicrt,: Portland Beavers; 4 San Frajicisco Seal.;: 5 Sacramento Solons:' ((---Oakland Acorns; 7 Holly wood Stars; 8 San Hiei'o Padres. HcKorvns Are Factor '. The "upseltini:" factor in the 1!M!) pennant chase may be a great second-line of reserves - something entirely missing from Uie lil'M contenders. . The Kainiors, wlyi finished fifth last year, but just three games out of second, have add ed u batting punch in the acquis ition of Chuck Aleno, Ted Nor bcrt and Bob Finley. If Manager Bill Skifr can round nut his usually-strong pitching staff, the Se attle club mav furnish the ma jor conlentym. . Admittedly Manager M a r v Owen is going to miss Marino Pieretti. the Uli-game winner, from his Portland mound corps. But the Heavers have added three good hurlers to take his place and again .should be a fac tor in deciding the big money winnersr- Scdls Need Pitchers Manager Lefty O'Uoiil has I he same club of veterans he had 1n ltl'I'l minus the pitchers at San Francisco. He pulled a neat miracle in winning the pl;,v-offs the last two seasons and may la able to rlo it again if the new pitcher!!. Ken Hrondcll and Ken Miller, live no to advance notices. The "if" club of the season is the Sacramento Solons. Manager F.arl Shcelv I 'led up plenty of talent riming the winter months. Hut bis first baseman, slugging (lone Corbctt, has been unable t- report; and Void haynian Jimmy Grant is on the sidelines for a starter.

(UP)--Fred Corcoran, tournament man ager of the professional golfers' association, today branded as "base canards'- the rumors that a relief expedition might be sent into Dixie to rescue those mem bers of the touring, g'llf caravan who re)ortadly are suffering from Hie Byron Nelson-Sam Snead "monopoly." The relief rumors doubtless had their origin in the fact that Nelson and Snead have won six tourneys each of thv Hi staged since the tour opened Nov. 23 in Portland, Ore. Approximately 20 professionals have made the win ter swing, with individual ex penses running about $150 a week. Hence the rumor tha I most of these linksmen were I "starvine." Willie (ioggin and bis associ ates may have unwittingly given birth to the rumor last week it the Charlotte, N. C, tourney. Willie and player-pals circulated a petition requesting thai the PGA reduce the amount of prize! money given for (he first five places in .1 tourney, and increase the amounts given (o (hose wdto finish .from loth to 20th. This would help Hie field keep eating.

"It's like this," Corcoran ex plained. "Practically every play er who attempts a winter lour is a top-flight golfer. He is con nected with a goad club. His salary continues while he is tuur- ine Anv victories onloo-ice hi ncrsotoil nrestiee :md th.'i! nf liiu club. Meanwhile the competition keeps his game sharp keeps him valuable to the club. During the year, each player puts away a certain sum each month to be used as nis tour fund. He fig ures he oan afford to lose this) sum, if he wins nothing on tour. Otherwise he doesn't start." I Thus far the winter tourna ments have given $150,001) in war bonds as prize money. Approx imately $45,000 of this has gone to Nelson, Snead, Jug McSpaden and Sammy Byrd. Byrtl won the Texas open; and McSpaden was Nelson's partner in winning the Miami four-ball tourney. In addition, Sgt.
