Herewith a camp by camp re
port on the prospects:
The San Francisco Seals had
44 players out to show their
wares to Manager Lefty O'Doul
yesterday the largest spring
turnout in years. But that may
have been because the Seals are
training in- their home stadium,
giving war workers a chance to
try out between shifts.
The Oakland Oaks, training at
Fetters' Springs, had 23 players,
including the veteran pitchers
Sab Gibson, 46, and Elmer
Phillips, 42.
Manager Dolph Camilli, for
mer Dodger first sacker, said he
expects arrivals this week to put
his squad over the 30 mark. He
said he will play the outfield
this season, turning the first base
spot over to Vic Picetti, 17-year-old
prep star from San Fran
cisco. .
Sacramento, which will not
have its 1944 star pitcher Clem
Dreisewerd this season, started
training at Richardson Springs
with only 14 players, though
'Manager Earl Sheely said he ex
pected additional rivals this
week. He said a number of his
players had not yet signed their
contracts.
Portland, training at San Jose,
started with 17 players, includ
ing their "submarine pitcher"
Al Liska, but without Pitcher
Marion Pieretti, who went to
the Senators. Manager Marv
Owen reported he was expecting
to have 27 on the roster by the
end of this week.
Hollywood had 35 players at
the initial drills. Catcher John
Lanfranco was staying out this
season for war work, Babe Her
man announced he will retire,
and Brooks Holder is a holdout.
Twenty-four of 26 contracts sent
out have been returned signed.
Los Angeles' Angels had only
.Um.f OA ntaiun. nrflrina nut
though President Don Stewart
said that 24 of 30 contracts sent
out had been signed. He said
that several players are on their
way from the east. The Angels
brightest prospects are Johnny
Moore, 41, Richie Columbo, 16,
and Bill Sarni, 17.
Seattle, Rainiers had 28 play
ers in uniform last Saturday,
Business Manager Bill Mulligan
reported. His three stars, Chuck
Aleno, third sacker bought from
Cincinnati, Outfielder Ted Nor
bert and Pitcher Byron Speece,
were not there, but were expect
ed soon. Keith Frazier, former
Seal pitcher discharged from the
navy, was on the roster.
The San Diego Padres started
with only 18 players, but 26 con
tracts have been signed. Only
batterymen and a few aspiring
youngsters were out for the first
fortnight's training. .
