While talking over the recent

that the defense the champs
threw at his crew in that first
game was a complicated man to

the Beavers couldn't quite fa

found the key then, adapting an
offense that shifted with the de

Coast League Is
For Take-Off Thursday
Angels, Seattle, Sacs,
Oaks Picked on Eve of
Precarious Season Sail
By RUSS NEWLAND
SAN FRANCISCO, March 31-()-The Pacific Coast league,
always the first to touch off the baseball season, gets under way
Thursday.
, Where it is going and when it will get there is something as
vague as me present weatner
reports, of which there ain't any
just now. The progress of the war
will determine the fate of the
Coast as well as the rest of the
leagues.
On the assumption the sched
ule will be played off, we hast
en in with our annual fearless
picks. The 1942 pennant win
ner, in this future book, will be
the Los Ang-eles club.
It is an almost completely made
over unit, from the presidential
chair In which sits Clarence Row
land, down through the playing
personnel. One exception is irre
pressible Arnold Statz, manager.
Los Angeles finished seventh
last year bat bounces Into the
favored spot on the strength of
a wealth of new talent and the
promise of additional help from
the parent Chicago Cobs organ
ization. Loo Novikoffj the minor
league slui-finr phenom bat
major league bast ap to date,
may be turned over to the An
gels. If Novikoff comes back. Los
Angeles could easily breeze in
for the flag. The big Russian led
the Coast league In hitting in 1940,
as well as in home runs, and in
fact he has topped every minor
loop in which he has played. If
it isn't Novikoff. the Aneels mav
get Dominic Dallesandro, the lit
tle outfielder who was a big riot
with San Diego a couple of sea
sons ago.
The . revamped Los Anseles
team numbers . only seven hold
overs. Only its pitching depart
ment appears a bit doubtful. Ed
Heusser. newcomer from Atlanta.
should top the hurling corps.
Seattle, winner of the cham
pionship the last three years,
gets second call bat could take
it all. It lost one of the best
defensive outfielders in baseball
in Bill Lawrence, nlus a stout
'utility infielder In Boze Berger
and two good pitchers, Les
Webber and Ed Cole.
Sacramento, pegged " for third
position, probably will turn up
with the best pitching staff in the
league. If it acquires Eddie Lake,
shortstop who refused to report
to the parent St Louis Cardinals,
it can run to first place without
trouble. Manager "Pepper' Mar
tin is half the battle. - ' W-
The best balanced outfit at
this time appears to be Oakland
and If Manager Johnny Verges
can stick it oat at third base,
. as ho plans, the Oaks figure to
make things hot la the first di
vision. The Acorns will grow
with Verges.
Here is the league's paper
size-up:
1 Los Angeles: Supercharged.
1 Seattle: Can repeat.
S Sacramento: Certain con
tender. 4 Oakland: Looks good.
5 Hollywood: May surprise.
- C San Diego: Lacks power.
7 San Francisco: Infield
