Taking advantage of the fine

march on the other mines in the in
terhigh loop. With the opening of
the season still more than a week
away and other clubs still working
out in intrasquad tits, the Colts are
arranging practice games with out
side teams.
When they open the season on
April 9 with a home game against

around on April 13 Coolidge may be
shaping up as title contender.
The Colts appeared hot yesterday
in trimming Mount Vernon, 9 to 4,
in preseason workout and dis
played power to burn afield and at

dictable hurler last year, seems to
nave learned some lessons about

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 81
California baseball fans-an esti-
mated $4,000 of them-were on hand
today for the official opening of the
Pacific Coast Baseball Leagues 43d
season with bright prospects.
Gov. Earl Warren was selected to
signal the pre-Easter inaugural by
pitching in the ball for a game be-
tween Oakland and Portland at
Emeryville. San Francisco plays at
Los Angeles, Seattle at San Diego
and Hollywood at Sacramento in
other openers.
Without the peacetime bumper
rosters of experienced players. the
Glass AA league promises to offer
fast competition with returned war
veterans and Eastern imports.
Los Angeles, 1914 pennant win
ner, is labeled as the team to beat,
with the veteran-manned Seattle
Rainiers top contenders. Seattles
strength lies in its pitching staff
and infield. The Angels roster has
been strengthened with such good
hitters as Lou Novikoff of the Chi
cago Cubs.
Hollywood promises to make a
race of it with its pitching. San
Francisco and Oakland. on the other
hand, show great weakness on the
mound. Sacramento has men OF
but one years experience in play
together. while San Diego, under
the managership of Pepper Martin
is picked by the experts TO end up
again at the bottom because OF
mediocre material

his strong finish in the last two
rounds. Early In the eighth he
opened a bad cut over Nova's right
eye with a solid left hook
The crowd was in an uproar. but
Nova kept punching back and tying
up Baksi in close. Nova's seconds
patched the eye between rounds
and although blood appeared again
in the tenth, Baksi was unable to
put over the knockout punch.
The knockdown in the fourth
resulted from a combination right
to the stomach and a shove. Nova
was back pedaling as Baksi rushed
in and drove a roundhouse right
to the body and followed through
with a hard shove. Nova fell half
way through the ropes, crawled back

National Organization
To Pep Baseball in
Colleges Proposed
Py the Associated Press.

HAMILTON, N. Y, Mar. 30.-A
national college baseball organiZa-
ton to promote broader competition,
form leagues, conduct tournaments
and regulate relations between
players and professional interests,
was proposed today by two of the
East's foremost coaches as a shot
in the arm for the college game.
Joe Bedenk. All-America football
guard in 1928 and now baseball
coach at Penn State, and Everett D.
Barnes, assistant director of ath-
letics and coach at Colgate Univer-
sity. said in joint statement that
national organization is necessary
to restore the game to its major
sport rating.
"A quarter century ago this sport
ranked with football in both player
and spectator appeal" Barnes said,
but it gradually has slipped to a
point where it is simply apathetic.
Bedenk and Barnes said college
coaches must follow to some degree
the lead of scholastic coaches who
locate boys with natural ability and,
through sound organization, pro-
mote playoffs and keener competi-
ton.
The proposed organization. open
to all coaches, would embrace plans
for national championship playoffs
similar to the NCAA basket ball
tourney. Such tournaments also
have been advocated by Robert
Red Rolfe. former New York
Yankees third baseman and now
baseball coach at Yale.
Under an organized plan with
definite aims to be accomplished, ~
Barnes said, varsity, Junior varsity
and intramural teams would be
formed as developing grounds for
young players"
Both coaches were of the opinion
that baseball would of necessity
desert the sandlots for college dia-
monds in its search for talent. With
1,600, 900 returning veterans eligible
for college and younger generation
largely convinced that college edu-
cation is necessary, they said. COL
leges soon will offer a more promis-
ing hunting ground for big league
scouts.
