Predicts Great Year Proxy of Pacific Coast Loop Says Currant Sooion Will Bo Manager's Test ' Br BILL BECKER LOS ANGELES, March 8 XP) Baseball moguls in general may be singing the "Alphabet Blues" (dedicated to ODI, WPB and assorted government agencies) but Clarenco (Pants) Rowland, president of the Pacific Coast league, refused to Join In tho chorus. By all rights, Rowland could tako the baritone lead in thu blues brigade, because Ills leu guo is the biggest in the coun try, gcograDhically, and the PCL season is the first to open, But with opening day set for March 31, tho Pacific proxy was able to lean back and, without benefit of xose-colored glasses, draw a bead on several silver linings in the clouds of war restrictions. "Manpower? Our clubowners were never more encouraged in their lives than by this year's turnout," said Rowland. 'Sure, there'll be a lot of 4-F's. under age and overage players, and some discharges, but the com petition will bo Keen." Rowland is a practical base-; ball mini who's been in tho game 40 years unci he says thu j spirit in his leuguo is as high: as he's seen. "More kids are trying out at ' cumps," ho explained. , "Tlicy feel they liavo a chance." I This season, he feels, .will be1 a'maiiuKer's tvst. There are no j "ready madu" teams handed down in u piece from a major ' club. Tho skipper who'll will. 1 says Rowland, is the one who gets the most out of the kids. While the coast league has a player limit of 25, -most clubs when traveling will carry 20 or less, he stated. Teams will elim inate night travel as much as possible. Teams move only once a week, as - the league plays seven-game scries. Twilight ' doublchcadcrs will be in order, he said. Tho Byrnes' curfew will stop play at 11:30 p. m. to allow every body time to leave the park. No Inning will start after 11:49 p. m. "It should be a great season," Rowland concluded. "I'm look ing forward to Itt" -f-t.- HAINES FEE'S DRUB SHANNON'S PORTLAND, March 8 (JP) Led by Skeet O'Connell and Morrie Strcmich, who dropped in 16 points each. Fee's Music Makers last night defeated Shan non's 62-34 to win the city Inde pendent basketball champion ship. BASEBALL SPEEDS . It takes only one-half second for a baseball to travel from the pitcher to the batter. The ball travels about 100 miles per hour, and a fast-swung bat moves at a 200-mile speed.

As tho coast playoffs with tho southern divi sion winner have been cancelled by Iho Bruins of UCLA, the club that emerges on top In tho WSC-Orcgon collision will automatically repre sent tho Pacific coast In tho Western Intercnl lcglato tournament at Kansas City, March 23-24. We still favor tho Cougars to cop tho togu, if for no other reason than that they nave Vlnco Hanson on their side. The towering plvotman I a touah cooklo to stop In any lenuuo and tho Webfoots aro going to have to stop him if they figure on winding up as northern division champs. It also seems to us that the Webfoots aro not n very good "pressure" ball club. It's true they toppled Oregon Stuto in tho playoff, but the point is that no playoff with the lien void would have been necessary had not Oregon suffered defeats at crucial times throughout the season. Wo also think Ilia Cougars would travel much farther In tho tournament thou tho Ducks, which is a less consistent ball club.
