5 Ex-Tiger

Seal Team
Contest Billed
At 8 O'clock in
Athletic Pork

San Francisco's Seals invade
Athletic park tonight for the ira
ditional exhibition game of the
Tacoma Tigers.
The visit of the O'Doulmen, who
will play the Tigers under the
lights at o'clock, is somewhat
of a homecoming as five former
Tigers are now wearing the
spangles of the Seals.
The former Tacomans. with
the Seals are Harvey Storey,
shortstop who has been sold
to the Chicago Cubs for 1941
delivery; Larry Powell, ace
left handed pitcher sold to the
Boston Red Sox for next year;
Ernie RaImondi, Gene kiley
and Larry Quay.
The Seals are due to arrive this
afternoon at 4:30 from Portland,
where they have just finished a
weeks stand. After the exhibit
ton game. they will continue to
Seattle for a series with the
Rainiers.
Charley Schanz, giant right
handed pitcher, who is on option
from the Seals to the Tigers, will
start in the game for Tacoma.
He was the sensation of the Ari-
zona-Texas league season last
year, winding up with eight wins
in a row. He was recalled by the
Seals in the latter part of the
season and started several games
for the Coasters.
Opposing Schanz likely will
be Milt Cadina, Seal rookie
who Is considered a surefire
major league prospect. Cadina
was signed by the Seals right
out of the s. #. high school
league in spirited competition
with several major league
scouts.
Back of Schanz the Tigers will
line up with Pat O'Brien catching,
Bobby Garretson at first base, Tim
Marble at second base. Don White
at third, Stubby Hartman at
short. Morry Abbott in left, Tony
Firpo in center and Marvin
Rickert in right.
The Seals will use their regular
lineup except that former Tacoma
players will be used as much as
possible to give fans here an OPP
portunity to see them perform
after their preliminary baseball
education here.
The Seals have Joe Sprinz,
Wilfred Leonard and Eddie
Bothelo as catchers, Ferris
Fain and Jack Burns as first
basemen, Al Wright and Al
Steele as second saclxers,
Storey and Don Trower a.
shortstops and Jack Warner,
Raimondi and Ted Jennings as
third basemen. Outfielders
are Ted Norbert, John j. Bar
ret, kiiey and Brooks Holder.

will leave Steele behind them when
they depart for Seattle. Just
what the Tigers could do with
Steele is not certain as the Taco

MARATHON SWIM
LEFT BIMINI FOR WEST PALM
BEACH THIS MORNING; AL
READY COVERED 20 MILES
OF COURSE
Especial to The CitIzenj

MIAMI, Mar. 25.-Paul Chot-
teau, intrepid French distant
swimmer, was well on his way at
press time today towards the
halfway mark in his 71-mile
swim effort to reach West Palm
Beach from Bimini.
An early start this morning,
following cancellation of the
scheduled start yesterday ow-
ing to high winds, will bring the
end of the race, if Chotteau's
guess is right, about shutdown to-
morrow. He had covered APP
prOXimately 20 miles at 800
o'clock this afternoon and ap-
peared to be going strong.
The escorting schooner, Sea
Breeze, reported that several
sharks had been seen near the
swimmer, but none had bothered
ChOtteau.
The Frenchman is no new
conner to long distance swim eff
forts. In 1886 he swan from
Catalina Island to Malibu Beach,
Al miles, in 33 hours and A
minutes. In 1888 he failed by
five miles to make the Sc miles
from Santa Barbara Island to
Venice, Calf.
The Bimini-West Palm Beach
swim is aided considerably by
the fact that Chotteau will cover
much of the distance in the Gulf
Stream which has a current of
about four miles per hour.

Germany and were keeping a
close watch on developments in
the Balkan states.
scandinavian countries were
