SEAL ALL DIAMOND BASICS . EarW Size-llD Does Not Forecast Championship Team 'Caveney Pep' Is Factor in Final Analysis By RCSSELL NEWLAND. (Associated Press Sports Writer) SAN FRANCISCO, March 8. (AP) Son Francisco's Seals will chase the Coast league pennant this season with a club composed mostly of play ers young In years, but well ground ed In the matter of experience. While the early size-up does not forecast a championship team, other outfits will have to hustle at top speed to take the measure of the 1933 Seals. Manager Ike Caveney will see to that. Caveney Pep a Factor. The Seals' pilot belongs to the old school that does not believe a ball game Is over until the lost out has been made In the last Inning. The Caveney brand of pep Is known In every park. Pitching hopes are based on Cur tis Davis, gaunt Oregonlan, who won 23 games lost year and had th best earned run average In the league; Jimmy Zlnn, old and reliable; Bill Henderson, fast ball artist, fairly con sistent: Lee Stlne. Art McDougal, Lefty" Douglas and Ouldo Slmonl. Stlne Looks Good. Stlne, youngster from Long Beach, has put on 15 pounds. He spel'a major league cash to the Seal owners. Stlne Is fast and throws a mean curve. Slmonl. big and strong, ap pears ready for this company. If McDougal gets going this season, the left-handed side should be taken care of, as Douglas, a good relief man, has shown he can step up and do creditable work at any time. Mana ger Caveney likes Ed Stutz, recruit right hander, but he may need a season In a smaller league. Eddie Kenna, mascot for the Seals 15 years ago, returns to take over first string catching duties. He has seen much of the country and gained much experience elnce he guarded the bats. Competition for First. Jerry Donovan, outfielder by In clination, may find steady employ ment at first base through lack of suitable other material. Bill Prout wants the job. He Is a flashy fielder, but Is weak at the plate. Robert Louis Stevenson, former University of Csllfornla boy. also la trying for the position. Art Garibaldi, who bit better than .800 and led the league In stolen bases lsst season. " has second bsse sewed up, while Augle Oalan claims shortstop again without a challenge. Oalan, sensational youngster, who startled fans with his work laat year, has put on weight and gives promise of being the shining light of the club in his second eeason out. Leo Ostenberg, who has had trials with Hollywood and Oakland, has the as signment of trying to fill the shoes of Jules Wera, leading third base man In the circuit last yesr. Tounsrters In Pastures. Manager Caveney will be available for Infield emergencies. Youngsters will guard the outfield with Ernie Sullk In left; Vlnce Dem magglo In center and Henry Oana In right. Demagglo Is a prospect ex pected to make good If he falls. Jerry Donovan may go back to hawk ing balls. Sullk and Oana are tried and capable, although Oana was a "flop" last eeason. The husky Ha waiian blamed hi troubles to an im paired Tlslon, brought on by Infected tonsils. GOLD HILL, Mar. 8. (Spl.)

Be iii MEXICO; LAY OUT MEXICO CITY (AP) The Mexi can revolution, long active In the de velopment of athletics for the Im provement of the middle and lower classes, now has gone In for golf In a big way. The roster of officers of a new 1200,000 golf project at Cuernavaca, the weekend retreat for Mexico City residents for the past 400 years. Is a roster of the current Mexican revo lutionary leaders. General Plutarco Ellas Calles, for mer president, and chief of the Mex ican revolution. Is president and sponsor of the club which adjoins his home in Cuernavaca. Aroused by his enthusiasm and support of the project, the Cuernavaca club was or ganized at a political meeting in the Calles home In late January, and more than 950,000 stock was pledged at the Initial meeting. The following Monday more than one hundred men with teams went to work clearing the course and ex cavating for the clubhouse, which faces the Laredo-Mexlco-Clty-Aca-pulco International highway. President Abelardo Rodriguez, an ardent golfer, who learned to play at Agua Calient club In Lower Califor nia, Is vice president of the new club.

Mexico has never commanded international attention In golf, altho there are a dozen golf clubs In Mex ico, chiefly patronized by foreign residents. Rapid progress of Mexican players In recent years, however, is Indicated by the score of 282 which won th recent golf tournament here for the "Abelardo L. Rodriguez golf cup Mario Mercado, a caddy at the Mex ico City country club, turned in tha low score, and was followed by 17 players who cracked 300 for the 72 holes.

Cuernavaca, under the Calles-Rod-rlguez Impetus, Is the busiest city In Mexico today. Located only 45 miles from Mexico City, but 3000 feet lower In altitude, It has attained a build Ing boom of large proportions. 4 fCZi T, hat significant word to the wise comes straight from any man who knows three inside facts: Fact No. 1: White Owl costs the manufacturer more to make than the ordinary run of nickel cigars. Fact No. 2: The dealer pays more for it. Fact No. 3: For over three years the General Cigar Co., Inc., has been assembling and mellowing the greatest treasure store of choice American leaf ever available for a cigar. And this is the tobacco ypu enjoy in the 1933 White Owl. Enough said. It's plain to see why it is tobacco wise to ask for White Owl when ever it is not in sight.
