Pacific Circuit
Looking Forward
To Great Season
By Robert Weldo
(United i'reaa Suff Corrapondent)
Los Angeles, March 27 tunThe
old familiar "play ball" cry next
Saturday should get the Pacific
coast league off to its most suc
cessful baseball season since the
war put a crimp in the nation's
favorite past time.
When old man pesimlsm him
self, Charley Graham, owner of
the San Francisco Seals, waxes
enthusiastic over the prospects,
then you know things are looking
up.
For the first time in several
seasons, the league race appears
to be a wide open affair, with
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seat
lie, Hollywood and Portland all
having a number of supporters
for the crown. . .
Angels Lack Pitcher
As long as the Angels, admit
tedly a powerhouse at the plate,
are lacking in pitching strength,
a merry battle should ensue that
will bring the coin jingling in at
the box office.
It was fourty-two years ago
when Joe Corbett of the Angels
pitched the first ball in the initial
Pacific coast league contest
Jimmy De Whale pitched the
opener for the Seals in San Fran
cisco, and "Doc" Mosklman of
the Oaks dished up the first pitch
in Ookland.
Fourty-two years ago Earl
Sheely, Sacramento pilot, was a
seven-year-old youngster back In
Bushnell, 111. "Lefty" O'Doul was
nbout four years old. Seattle's
Bill Skiff was all of seven and
restlessly roaming around New
Hochelle, N. Y. Marvin Owen,
Portland manager, and Robert
"Buck" Fausett, Hollywood, lack
ed five years of making their en
trances into the world . . .
tfiiley In Uniform
Bob Finley, new 207-pound Seat
tle catcher picked up from the
Phillies, played with southern
Methodist in their-7-0 Rose bowl
loss to Stanford In 1936. His first
home run in the majors was a
420-foot blast against the cham
pion St. Louis Cards ... Eddie
(Stewart's talents aren't confined
to the diamond. The big out
fielder, obtained by the Stars
from Pittsburgh, is murder on a
trumpet.-. ;
Hollywood goes for local prep
stars- at the- shortstop , position.
Tod Davts, now in the army, was
a green kid out of El Monte high
school when - manager Charlie
Root gave1 hinv a try. He was
major league material at the end
of last season. Now the Stars
are trumpeting the praises of a
20-year-old prepster from Hunt
ington Park high, Jack Smith.
Conveniently enough, He's A 4-F.
Reggie Otero; the Angels' latin
American fireball on first base,
has informed1 president Don
Stewart he's on his way from
Cuba but will miss the first few
games. Meanwhile, manager
Bill Sweeney has no worries at
first with hard hitting Mel Hicks
set to start.

Player Drafting
ZJZ r chica. March 27 IP The Na
Q9o wfio1'onal Football league today an-
"LIVll villi..) VV11U nave uiaicu
that the league's annual player
draft -is monopolistic and de
prives college grid stars of fair
salaries. ,J . .
"The draft was designed to pro
tect colleges and it' is the best
thing we've been able to devise
for that purpose," George' Strick
ler, league publicity director,
said. "It does not curtail the
amount of money a player re-
'ceives and although it does not
help, our teams. we'll.. continue to
Xise it because we plan to continue
to protect colleges.'
The player draft is an annual
affair at which N. F. L. teams
each choose 30 players who have
completed their college eligibility.
tach team has the sole right to
negotiate for, the services, of the
players it selects and a player
heart deal only with the club which
M.nfinJ kl
drafted him.
Carl Snavely, head football
coach at North Carolina Universi
ty, unleashed the most recent
blast against the N. F. L..'s draft
system, charging that the league
is operating a monopoly on grid
talent. He said that the draft
gives a player no chance to ne
gotiate with teams or to better
himself.
