Los Angeles Nine
Favored to Win
Pacific Pennant

They did it before and the chanc-
PS appeal ntwv mcj tan uu n
again.
So the Los Angeles Angels, win
ners of the 1944 and 1943 Pacific
coast league pennant races, will
take the field Saturday against
the San Francisco Seals favored
to win their third consecutive flag
in the 183-game race.
Loaded with such stars as Lou
Novikoff and Rip Russell; piloted
by astute manager Bill Sweeney
and in line to get additional mate
rial from the Chicago Cubs if they
need it, the Angels should be the
class pf the field.
Out On IJmb
However, there appears to be
the making of a ding-dong battle
over the horizon all through the
league and the United Press ad
mittedly goes out on a limb to
make these choices:
1 Los Angeles Angels.
2 Seattle Rainiers.
3 Portland Beavers.
4 San Francisco Seals.
5 Sacramento Solons.
1 6 Oakland Acorns.
7 Hollywood Stars.
8 San Diego Padres.
The "upsetting" factor In the
1945 pennant chase may be a
great second-line of reserves
something entirely missing from
the 1944 contenders.
The Rainiers, who finished fifth
last year, but just three games
out second, have added a batting
punch in the acquisition of Chuck
Aleno, Ted Norbert and Bob Fin
ley. If manager Bill Skiff can
round out his usually-strong pitch
ing staff, the Seattle club may
furnish the major contention.
To Miss Star
Admittedly manager NMarv
Owen is going to miss Marino
Pieretti, the 26-game winner, from
his Portland mound corps. But the
Beavers have added three good
hurlers to take his place and again
should be a factor in deciding the
big money winners. .

The "if" club of the season is
the Sacramento Solons. Manager
Earl Sheely lined up plenty of tal

But his first baseman, slugging
Gene Corbett, has been unable to
report; and third baseman Jimmy
Grant is on the sidelines for a
starter.
Acorns "Maybe" Team
The Oakland Acorns definitely
are the "maybe" team. Manager
Dolph Camilli is stacked two deep
all through the infield, outfield
and behind the plate. His pennant
chances appear to hinge on how
well the replacements respond,
and what the pitchers can do. ' "
Some writers are tabbing the
Hollywood Stars for the first di
vision. But manager Buck Fausett
still hasn't been able to find any

On How to Play
Chicago, March 29 (IP) "Golf
for the blind" is playing an amaz
ing role in the army's rehabilita
tion of fighters who have lost
their sight in the service of their
country during the war.
The feat of a blind man playing
golf is almost unbelievable. But it
proves to him he still can live a
life of action and usefulness and
that is why army psychiatrists
have made the game a vital part
of their "play therapy" at Dibble
General hospital, near M e n 1 o
Park, Calif.
"Play therapy" is a program
which includes golf, water polo,
swimming, bowling and wrestling
and Is designed to provide blind
men with physical recreation.
Story Is Toltl
The spectacular part which golf
is playing in the rehabilitation
work at Dibble hospital is told in
the coming April issue of "Golf-
dom," a magazine published by
the National Golf foundation.
The Stanford university golf
course is the laboratory in which
blind servicemen are forgetting
personal tragedy while they cuss
a shanked iron shot or become
enthused about a good drive.
"Seeing eye" companions tour
the course with the blind golfers.
The companion, a golfer himself,
describes each shot to his handi
capped playing partner. He tells
of the layout, the lie of the ball,
the distance, the obstacles and
other details. Ho places the club-
head behind the ball and waits
for the serviceman to get set.
Then the blind man is on his own
No emphasis is placed on scor
ing. The doctors want that to be
proposed by the patient. For once
the blind golfer wants to keep
score, the treatment has proved a
success. That will show the strick
en person is ready for everyday
life, that his competitive spirit has
been revived.
Kxuinnlcd Given
An example of the golfing pa
tlents at Dibble is Capt. Claude
Garland, Jr.
Garland, Jr., of Pinedale, Wyo.
who played in the low bO's before
the war. As an army captain, he
led one of general Patton s tank
companies through France until
the day before Christmas. A Ger
man shell struck the tank. Gar
land lost his eyesight.
Garland isn't playing In the low
bus yet, but he is confident tha
soon hell be near that score.
Other patients who were good
golfers in prewar days feel the
same way It won't be long.
One of the seeing eye com
panions reported to the doctors a
Dibble hospital that during a re
cent round, Garland shanked an
iron shot, threw his club on the
ground and cursed roundly.
That was good news. For when
a -blind man forgets his troubles
to bemoan the minor problems
which accompany golf, a big step
has been taken in his rehabilita
tion.

Portland, Ore., March 28
During any bout of the National
boxing club here, no matter how
bloody the battle, tne sauciest man
in the ring is gloomy Ralph Gru
man, the referee.
With eyebrows drooping at the
ends and raised at the middle, his
face continually wears an expres
sion of utter anguish, a human
mimicry of the musk of tragedy
that adorns one corner of the
proscenium at the municipal audi
torium. He appears to have been
born to this role of sorrow. Thus
It comes as a surprise to hear hint

"I used to be happy and gay

side the ropes In the press row.
What, then, turned hjm Into a
silent elegy of fisticuffs? Does
it stem from a sympathetic suf
fering over the beatings the bat
tlers take? Or does his sensitive
soul sour from the bees that
habitually greet his Intrarlng ef
forts? "It's the iokes," explains.
For gloomy Gruman, a special
policeman by vocation and a ref
