LOS ANGELES, March 29-AV The Pacific Coast league base ball's traditional belicow openg another season of diamond activ Ity tomorrow. f Always first to respond to the cry of "play bail," the PCL toe off on its 46th year with higia hopes, pocketbooks-h-end medium- high talent. San Francisco Seals always there or thereabouts under Left O'Doul, the coast's steadiest mane sger again rank as favorites for the pennant over- the elongated 188-ganve course. i - The league whose president. Clarence It ow land, hopes to make it major has added considerable talent of major league status last year, as well as numerous prom- ising rookies from lower loops. Rowland predicts a banner sea son, topping even 194? when some 4,600,000 fans were lured through the turnstiles for an aU-time min or league record. ; Experts fall, however, to see how the pennant race can be any clos er than last year when Los Angeles and San Francisco bsttled to a dead heat in the season's stand ings and the Angels won a single game playoff. "O'Doul, starting bis 15th sea son as Seal skipper, has most of his 1947 team back plus catcher Dixie Howell, outfielder Gene Woodling and infielders Jack To bin, Frank Shofner knd Mickey Rocco. The Seals' pitching appears deeper and more seasoned than other clubs'. ! i Los Angeles, with its better tal ent gone to the Chicago Cubs and, elsewhere, is expected to battle to stay in the first division. Bill Kel ley's men may have a hard time breaking through such apparently strengthened contenders as Oak land, Seattle, and possibly Port land and Hollywood. Oakland's mixture of veterans and hustling kids under scrappy Casey Stengel is regarded as a po tential troublemaker. Sacramento and San Diego, sev enth and eighth last year, are stilt generally listed as question marks. Sacramento has chosen to build up a flock of aged ex-big leaguers and a brand new manager. Joe Orengo. Orengo is the only newcomer to the PCL Managerial rsnks, of which O'Doul of course is senior member. Sacramento i fans are hopeful he'll come through a la Kelly with the '47 Angels a belt ringer in his freshman season.
