Angels, Stars
Need Help If
Fans STAY Put
BY GENE FRIEDMAN

LOS ANGELES, April "a. (UP)-
So far this year baseball attendance
at the Los Angeles and Hollywood
ball parks, particularly on Sunday,
the money day for both teams,
has shown an increase over 1914, but
if the increase is to continue or even
hold, there will have to be some
changes made.
Fans, even dyed in the wool base
ball fans are not going to pay ad-
mission much longer to see exhibit
tions like the Angels double loss
Sunday to San Diego by scores of
- to l and 8 to 4, or Hollywood's
double trouncing the previous Sum-
day by Seattle 10 to 3 ard ID to T..
NOT GOOD DRAWING CARD
The fact that the Angels, last
years champions, and the Stars,
among the early favorites for this
years bunting, are occupying sew
enth and eight place, respectively,
in the Pacific Coast League is not
likely to increase the drawing power.
1t is to be presumed that manage
danger. However, while the Angels
undoubtedly have issued plaintive,
but SO far vain, calls to the parent
Chicago Cubs, the Stars have no
where to look. The Angels may be
saved, Hollywood manager Buck
Fausett has admitted that help is
not in sight.
In their first % games the Angels
scored SO runs, slightly more than
four a game, which is not too bad a
performance, but they have yielded
130 to their opponents, just short
of six per game.
Obviously the answer is pitching.
So far this year only Rookie Charlie
Cuellar has given any signs of de-
veloping into a winner. Don Os-
born, reliable performer last
season, has been disappointing. The
rest of the staff has shown little,
if anything.
Hollywood, however, is in even
worse shape. The Stars have like
wise scored 98 runs in their %
games, but have permitted the stag
gering total of $50 to the opposition,
we'll over six per game.
The unbelievable Hollywood mound
staff has been victim of a 21-run
outburst, a 16-run outburSt, a IA
run splurge, two 10 run defeats, a
pair of nine run Wallopings and two
eight run setbacks.
The Stars are hunting for pitchers,
without success. There is no con-
sistency among Hollywood pitchers.
Few victories and persistence along
those lines, means fewer and fewer
fans.

Coasters Swinq
Into Series;
Padres Pull Up
BY UNITED PRESS

Six Pacific Coast league baseball
teams swing back into action Tues
day in pursuit of the elusive league
leadership.
Portland, currently in front, and
Seattle have monopolized the top
place honors through most of the
first four weeks Of play and appear
in no danger of losing that honor
for at least two weeks.
The Beavers take on Oakland
Seattle meets Hollywood, and San
Francisco entertains San Diego.
Sacramento plays Los Angeles this
week, but the two teams start off
with a double-heade on Wednesday
Manager Bill Skiffs Rainier slug
gers fell off considerably against
good Oakland pitching over the past
week and the Oaks annexed a tough
4-3 series and knocked the north
erners out OF the top rung.
PENNANT TIMBER
However, the Suds hitting has
been living up to expectations in
most cases and Skiff's lads can be
put down as definite pennant timber
They expect to improve their
standing against the loWly Holly
wood Stars. who have been getting
neither pitching nor hitting in most
instances.
The high-spot Beavers won't find
the pickings quite SO easy against
the Oakland aggregation, with man
ager Dolph Camilli ever threat as
a pinch hitter (he hit homer in
that role Sunday and young Vic
Picetti sparkling the club with his
sensational play, the Acorns have
become one of the finest all-around
clubs in the loop.
PADRES PULL UP

Padres, tied with the Oaks for third
place and only four games out of
first, will be cunning for another
series win over the Seals. Manager

lief. He mas never been lifted
The Sacramento Solons can be
clasSed as one OF the harder-hitting
outfits. But their pitching hasn't
been ANYTHING to brag about and
that appears to be keeping them out
of the first division. However, on
the basis of past performances, the
Solons should have enough to get by
the Los Angeles club-unless long
expected help arrives from the front
office in Chicago. Only the slugging
of Lou Noyikoff has kept the 1914
champions from falling farther off
the pace.

Major Leagues
Again Tackle
Czar-Naming Job

CLEVELAND, April "a. (UP)-
Major baseball begins its own San
Francisco" conference Tuesday when
the 16 club owners begin deliberat-
ing again in an effort to select
high commissioner who may rule
the destiny of the sport for many
years after the war is ended.
Chances of agreement upon one
man who can muster the II. votes
necessary to elect a commissioner
hinged upon a last minute compro-
mise. Failing in that, the owners aif
are almost certain to ldelay the Sc
lection of a successor to the late
Judge Kenesaw M. Lands until after
the war.
There we're two distinct factions,
both equally reluctant to relax their
demands. One, led by Col. Larry
MacPhail, new head of the Yankee
organization of New York, wants no
further delay in the selection of a
man. MacPhail and his adherents
publicly have acclaimed Ford Frick,
president of the National League, as
the top choice, although they prob
ably would settle tor former post
master General James A. Farley.
The other group led by Clark
Griffith, head of the Washington
Senators, and having most of its
strength in the American League,
wants to table action until after the
war when a dominant national fig
ure, possibly a returning war hero
or an outstanding statesman, would
be available.
Failing to elect a commissioner,
the Majors will remain under the
direction of the three man COM
mission which has ruled the game
since Lands died last November 25.
It consists of F'rick, William Har-
ridge, president of the American
League, and Leslie j. O'Connor, Sec
retary to Lands. O'Connor, like
Frick, is a leading candidate for
the job although he has expressed
unwillingness to accept it. Frick
on the other hand, has campaigned
for it actively.

IT. Formation
Takes II old

the oldest formations in football
the "T.'
Spring practice sessions or state
nIents from coaches indicate that
at least three more eastern schools
will get aboard the T bandWagon
this fall They are Navy, which
probably will use the formation only
part time: Cornell and Colgate,
where Andy Kerr will mix it with
his double wing trickery.
RELUCTANT EAST
Despite the success which resulted
from the switch to the T after
Clark Shaughnessy and his Stan
lord eleven of 1910 popularized the
system in college ranks, the east
generally held aloof There were q
few clubs-notably Army-which de-
cided to try the T, but for the most
part the colleges and universities
decided the single wing was good
enough.
The change in the rules whereby
team next fall will be able to pass
from any point behind the line of
scrimmage, instead of five yards
back, is expected to add to the list
OF T converts. Georgia Tech, Min
nesota and Kansas, among others,
are going to give it a try.
The T has come a long way since
IL first was used years ago. The
system was discarded for long time
because it placed too much empha-
sis on expert ball handling. Even
after Shaughnessy brought it back.
a lot of coaches decided against try
ing it for they felt that it did not
suit their material. But SO many
changes have come into the T since
then that a coach can modify it to
fit almost any kind of material.
OLD STUFF FADES
The rock and sock 'em stuff went
out to large extent with the ad-
vent on the modern T. The Specta-
tors liked the new formation be-
cause it was spectacular; the players
liked it because it put premiums on
deception, speed, brains and ball
handling rather than sheer strength.
And while some coaches before
that Stanford 194c team used TO ex-
pertinent with the formation there
was only one man through the years
who stuck with it. That man was
George Halas, the owner of the
Chicago Bears, and the success
which he had with it soon began
to make an impression on other
coaches. Halas even went so far
as to call in Shaughnessy to help
chart plays. That T chart at its
peak contained $50 plays.
