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.) In
dependent basketball teams repre
senting 13 towns or organizations,
will invade Gold Hill Friday to take
part in the first annual independent
tournament to be held at the high
school gymnasium. Large crowds of

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.
General Manuel Perez Trevlno
president of the National Revolu
tionary party, is the club commis
sioner. Jose Manuel Casauranc, the
foreign minister, Is secretary, and
Alberto J. Panl, secretary of the fed
eral treasury department. Is the club
treasurer.
The board of directors Includes
General Joaquin Amaro, director of
the military school; Secretary of
Communications Miguel M. Acosta;
and General Pedro J. Almada, sub
secretary of war.
It was said General Calles hopes
to produce a Mexican Inter natlonl
golf champion within the next few
years. 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.
It was Interesting to note that
General Joaquin Amaro, former sec
retary of war, and father of polo la
Mexico, finished with 297.
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.

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.
