LOS ANGELES, March-25(AP)
The Pacific Coast baseball league,
with an embattled history that
stretches back to 1903, launches
Its 48th season Tuesday and it may
be one of 'the most successful and
certainly the longest in the nation
this year. -; '
Two hundred games are on the
schedule before the Marathon
win da up Oct. 3. That is 14 more
than last year and the extra yard
age takes the tlace of the familiar
Governor's cup playoff series.
The first curtain goes up with
the defending champion pennant
winners, Hollywood, playing Port
land at the movietown ball park,
San Francisco at San Diego, Sea
ttle at Oakland and Los Angeles
at Sacramento. -All are night
games with the exception of the
Sacramento contest. It will be
'played in the afternoon,' and
strangely enough. Is the only game
scheduled for daytime at Sacra
mento all season, Sundays includ
ed. The following week, the clubs
switch around and the second op
ening day cermonies will find
Hollywood at Seattle, San Diego
at Los Angeles, Oakland at Port
land and Sacramento at San Fran
cisco. League president Clarence Row
land, - who plans to ' usher in the
season at Oakland and have as dis
tinguished guest baseball's high
commissioner, A. B. (Happy) Cha
ndler, has predicted a highly succ
essful; season, if not the best In
coast league annals.
- League attendance last year was
1,751,929, and the figure was rea
ched despite the fact that two of
the best drawing dubs in the cir
cuit, San Francisco and Los An
geles, came up with seventh and
eighth; place clubs, respectively,
and the poor results were reflected
at the gate. The league attendence
record is 4. 068.432. set in 1947 and
which stands as a national minor
league record.
Seattle, a redhot baseball town.
led the league in attendance last
year, with 543,434, and did It de
spite a fifth place finish. The
champion Hollywood club,
hampered by a park that can seat
a mere 12.000, turned 'em away all
season and came up with one of Its
best years at' the boxoflice 502,'
445. :--
mere are two new managers
this year, and one switch-over.
Ralph (red) Kress takes over the
Sacramento fortunes, replacing
Veteran Del Baker, who will pilot
Ean Diego. Paul Richards, fresh
from guiding Buffalo to the 1949
pennant, is managing Seattle. Old
est manager in point of service Is
San Francisco's man in the green
suit, Frank (Lefty) O'Doul,
who is starting his 16th season as
keeper of the Seals.
Prospects of the championship
contenders at" this stage are on
the vague side. Most all the teams
re waiting until the major league
clubs let loose some of their ta
lent and route them to the coast.
And with some of the majors it
may be 30 days before decisions
are made. -
Working on the theory of stay
lng with the champ until he's
whipped, many are picking. Hoi
lywood to repeat
Manager Fred Haney, in a mas
terful Job In his first year with
the Twinks, took a team gener
ously sprinkled with rookies from
the Brooklyn system, showed them
how to play baseball and guided
them to the . first pennant this
Hollywood organization ever won.
Hollywood has only a working
agreement with the Dodgers but
it's been working fine and Haney
thinks his club will give a rous
ing try for top honors if Brook
lyn supplies a little, help. 4 .
The same applies to the oth
ers jH looking for help from
benevolent big league clubs. San
Die&o-ihas already received sub
stantial aid from Cleveland; Los
Angeles has helped itself without
waiting for the parent Chicago
Cubs to come to the rescue, and
the others are still waiting.
Oakland has reinforcements due
from the Yankees; Seattle can
stand hitting outfielders from,
possibly the Red Soxj Bill Swee
ney at Portland has no formal
connection but is very adept at
Eolishing up the brie a brae he
as; the same holds true for Kress
and the Sacramento Solons, and
the Seals may get a hand from
Pittsburgh.
Here, with & prayer and little
else is a prediction on the out
come: Hollywood, San Diego, Se
attle, Oakland, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Portland and Sacramento.
