ble ball players on the Pacific
Coast celebrated his 35th birth
day Friday, uttering a modest
hope he may do something to
help Oakland win a pennant.
Sam Chapman, a Major league
star for more than a decade,
played the first minor league
game of his life last week. An
Ail-American football player end
a basebal lstar at the University
of California, he was rocketed
immediately after graduation to
an outfield berth with the Phila
delphia A's.
This season Chapman wanted
so strongly to play baseball in
the bay area, he refused to re
port to the Cleveland Indians.
Sam coveted a Job with San
Francisco or Oakland, near his
Greenbrae home.
After drawn-out discussions,
Chapman signed with Oakland.
San Francisco owner Paul I.
Fagan had rebuked Sam's de
sire to play for his Seals thusly:
"We don't want him. He can't
help us."
Chapman nearly made Fagan
choke on his blunder Thursday
night when the rangy outfielder
cudgeled a prodigious ninth-inning
homerun that tied the game
at 1-1 and sent it into 10 panels
the first overtime contest of the
season.
San Francisco won out in the
10th when Jimmy Moran, an ex
Oak; singled home the tie break
er. The result, 3-1 favoring the
Seals, was a just reward for the
fine pitching of Elmer Singleton.
Sacramento came to life with
a 7-2 decision over Portland in
the only other PCL game Thurs
day night. The Hollywood-Los
Angeles and Seattle-San Diego
affairs were rained out.
At Sacramento, third sacker
Bob Dillinger, an ex - Major
league teammate of Chapman's,
rapped out four singles to pace
the Solons' win. Pitcher Bert
Barkelew, an aging rookie from
the Pioneer league, allowed only
four hits in posting his second
win.

New York (U.R) The Dodg
ers and Indians, who should have
won last year but didn't, should
finally make it htis year.
The likely favorites when the
season opens Tuesday, they are
this observer's picks to meet in
the World Series In October.
For what It's worth, here Is
the prediction on the order of
finish:
National League Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, St. Louis, New
York, Boston, Cincinnati, Pitts
burgh, Chicago.
American League Cleveland,
New York, Boston, Detroit, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, St. Louis.
Washington.
Baseball men generally are
agreed that, except for pitching,
the 'Dodgers have! by far the
soundest ball club in the major
leagues. And they reason with
that kind of power and polished
fielding, Manager Chuck Dres
sen doesn't need gilt-edged pitch
ing to win.
Phillies Rejuvenated
Eddie Sawyer's rejuvenated
Phillies promise to give Brook
lyn the most trouble for with
Curt Simmons back from Army
duty they way well come up
with the best pitching in the
league. But they don't have
Brooklyn's power, speed or de
fensive ability.
St." Louis could be the dark
horse.
Manager Al Lopez Is confi
dent the Indians will win, but
they lost last season because
they lacked power and because
the left side of their infield
made too many costly errors.
But they figure to have the best
pitching in the league again with
the Big Four of Bob Feller,
early Wynn, Mike Garcia and
Bob Lemon and Lopez feels that
Shortstop Ike Boone and Third
Baseman Al Rosen have over
come their shortcomings in the
field.
But the Yankees will take a
lot of beating for in Allie Rey
nolds, Vic Raschi, Ed Lopat and
Sophomore Tom Morgan, miracle-man
Casey Stengel also has
all the pitching it takes.
Seattle won the second tilt, 11-5.
Basketball star Johnny O'Brien
collected three hits in seven
plate trips and took over Chief
tain pitching chores in the sec
ond game. He gave up only three
scattered hits in the final two
innings.

cessful barnstorming trip since

Including Thursday's 9-6 vic
