In a few weeks another baseball

the speeches at the annual fare
well dinner for the San Diego
Padre baseball team, which make,
E Centre its home during spring

they put down their forks TO list

tually included everyone, or nearly
everyone, at the banquet Players
answered questions, some of which
pertained TO baseball, others To
more scientific discussion.
All taken into consideration. how
ever. it was one of the finest base
ball dinners this writer has had
the occasion to attend. Even Cedric
burst had something TO say. an
unusual event because burst is
usually too wrapped up in thoughts
concerning starting pitchers to do
more than humble.
But the Padre manager cut loose
with plenty Of material when ques-
toned on the probably outcome of
the Pacific Coast league race and
questioned on the comparative
strength of the San Diego Padres.
Though the genial Padre manager
didn't come out with a flat pre-
diction, he limited strongly that the
San Diegans would finish in third
place and surprise, even confound,
the experts.
burst picked Seattle 10 finish
first, because the Suds have all
around balance and a veteran club.
Sacramento looks like the second
place club because the Cardinals
will do everything in their power
TO make Pepper Martins team a
winner.
San Francisco was selected for
fourth, Los Angeles, fifth; Holly
wood, sixth; Oakland, seventh and
Portland down in the cellar.
