Pacific Coast Baseball Teams
Tee Off Sunday on Pennant Race
SAN FRANCISCO, April 17
MP) With many of last year's
stars' missing from the lineups.
the eight baseball clubs of the
Pacific Coast league open the
1943 pennant race tomorrow.
All' clubs have lost heavily
to the armed forces and to war
industry. The hardest hit was
Sacramento, the 1943 pennant
winner. The Senators go into
the new season with only one
holdover, Pitcher John Pintar.
Oakland, has devised an un
usual arrangement to strength
en its pitching staff when the
club is playing in its home
area. Pitcher Ralph Button will
work only in Sunday games,
while George Barrow t will be
available for any games in the
San Francisco bay area. Both
arp shipyard workers. ,
. Portland,, which left its San
Jose training, camp, yesterday,
till is without its regular, third
baseman, Mary Owen. Manager
Bill Klepper 'and Owen have
been unable to reach, a salary,
agreement. Bill Krueger, pur
chased from Brooklyn, may
start at third base if Owen
doesn't sign before tomorrow.
Los Angeles generally is con
sidered the most likely to win
the pennant. The Angels were
not so hard hit as other clubs
by the demands of the military
services and remain a well
balanced, outfit. San Francisco,'
with a 'fairly strong pitching
staff, howver.-iisbeiieved a

Whacky Baseball Season
With Lots of Southpaws
No Ration In Left Handed Flippers
As Both Leagues Open Over-Equipped
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, April 17 (IP) Everyone agrees that this prob
ably will be the whackiest of all baseball seasons and maybe
that's the reason virtually all of the major league pitching staffs
have more than the customary supply of left-handers.
-" Washington doesn't have an established portsider and a
good left-handed flipper-would be as welcome as chocolate cake
to Manager Jim Wilson of the Chicago Cubs.
But otherwise, the teams haven't been rationed when it
comes to southpaw soup-bones.
'i In the American loop, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Bos
ton are well equipped with pitchers who can hit the right spot
on home plate from the wrong
side while the St. Louis staff
actually seems top heavy with
left-handers.
The Browns have Al Hollings-
Worth,- a 10-8 winner a year
ago; Fritz Ostermueller; Archie
McKain and-Bill Seinsoth, a
"nothing, ball" bowler who Won
24 for New Orleans last year.
The Red Sox, Indians, Tigers
and White Sox all list three
each with Stub Overmire, a
rookie, being counted on heav
ily for the Tigers and Al Olsen,
an 18-game winner at San Diego
last season, the pride of Boston.
The White Sox trio is made up
of hard luck Ed Smith; Thorn
ton Lee, hoping for a comeback,
and Jake Wade-
Joe McCarthy, manager of
the New York Yankees, has
only Rookie Tommy Bryne and
Marius Russo, troubled with a
sore : arm, as his unorthodox
flingers and Connie Mack of
the Philadelphia Athletics can
trot out Herman Besse and
Rookie Talmadge Abernathy.
; The National league appar
ently holds a corner on the
name southpaws with the trans
fer of Vernon Gomez from the
Yankees to the Boston Braves.
The California castilllan now
will be keeping company with
such heroes as Carl Hubbell of
the New York Giants; and
Johnny Vandermeer, Cincinatti's
double-no hit ace.
Hubbell no longer is the meal
ticket of the Terry regime but
he, Tom Sunkel and Cliff Mel

Lost Night's Franklin KO
In Eighth Round Gives Air
To Better Boxing Interest
CHICAGO, April 17 (IP)
Heavyweight Lee Savold, who
has steamed up interest in box
ing here to the extent that his
fight last night with Lem
Franklin drew a crowd of 13,
000 into the Chicago stadium
with receipts of $42,320, may
be given a shot at New York's
Tami Mauriello or Cleveland's
Jimmy Bivlns here this
summer.
The match was In the' air to
day after the Patcrson, N. J.,
strategist knocked out Frank
ling, a hard punching Cleve
land negro, in the eighth round
of their scheduled 10 round
bout. Savold's victory gave him
an edge in the series with
Franklin. In their first meeting
in 1039 the negro won by a
knockout, but Savold evened
the score two months ago when
he rallied from a first round
knockdown to chill his foe in
the tenth,
Last night was the pair's
best and most brutal engage
ment. The first punch Franklin
tossed caught Savold on the
chin and spun him to the can
vas for an eight count. Then at
the start of the second, Frank
lin drummed into Savold's
body, and sent him against the
ropes where a right to the chin
sprawled him for a nine count.
. Franklin weighed 201 M,
pounds to Savold's 192.
