Gian tPitching? Let Talk Hitting By Associated Press PHOENIX, March 24-The San Francisco Giants probably still dont have as much pitching as the Los Angeles Dodgers. BUT THEY HAVE MORE of just about everything else and must be given a good chance of turning base--balls defending champions into descending champions. The Giants unquestionably strengthened their pitching when they acquired right-hander Bob Shaw and left-hander Bob Hendley from Milwaukee in a six-player deal last December. AND, IF YOUNG Jesus Alou can hit as well as the Giants suspect, they may not have sacrificed too much offense when they let his older -brother Felipe go to Milwaukee in the same deal. The Giant roster runneth over with big names.

But ask Manager; Alvin Dark to name the key man and hell tell you its the new Alou, a 21-year-old outfielder who has appeared in only 16 major league games. JESUS-HE PRONOUNCES it Hey-Soos is one of two rookies in San Franciscos probable opening line-up. The other is third baseman Jim Hart, whose ability to hit seems better established than his ability to avoid being hit. While it would be nice to have a club with Hart, it may be more essential to the Giants that Alou succeed. Hart replaces a third baseman, Jim Davenport, who will appear elsewhere in the line-up.

Alou replaces an outfielder, brother Felipe, who will appear elsewhere in the league. If Hart cant make it at third, Davenport will move back there from second and Chuck Hiller will likely come off the bench to play second. That would leave the Giants no worse off than they were a year ago. HART BATTED .355 for Fresno of the California League in 1961 and .337 for Springfield of the Eastern League in 1962. He was hitting .312 for Tacoma in the Coast League when the Giants called him up in mld-1963.

He played infrequently as the result of being hit twice by pitches. Alou batted .343 for El Paso of the Texas League in 1962 and .323 for Tacoma last season. He drove in 68 runs for El Paso, 69 for Tacoma. THE GIANTS WELL probably start the season with Tom Haller catching, Orlando Cepeda at first base, Davenport at second, Jose Pagan at shortstop, Hart at third, Willie McCovey in left field, Willie Mays in center and Jesus Alou in right. Darks first three starting pitchers will be Juan Marichaljack Sanford and Billy ODell.

Hencftey and Bob Bolin may be moved in and out of the rotation.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday, OFFICIAL AUTO INDUSTRIES: that winning isnt everything. A check of the Pacific Coast League attendance figures for each club from 1938 through 1963 reveals some startling facts: CLUB W'lTH the highest attendance actually was the league champion in only 10 of the 27 seasons. The league winner finished second in attendance seven times and third in attendance sue times. Once the league pennant winner finished fourth in attendance and twice the flag winners finished in seventh place in attendance. SINCE THE LEAGUE revamped before the 1958 season and lost the major drawing powers of Los Angeles and San Francisco, the pennant winner has had the top attendance figures only twice Tacoma in 1961 and San Diego in 1962.

3 I1 1 financial reports are not pleasant to consider when the picture is gloomy, but the Sait Lake Bees were wise in taking a thorough inventory of their sales approach after last season. The Bees have been members of the PCL for six seasons and only once have they shown an increase in fans over the previous year. This is serious and Indicates something must have been wrong with the presentation. The Bees high was 217,222 in 1958, with the novelty of Triple A ball in its first year. IN 1959, WITH a pennant winner, the Bees dropped to 195,350.

In 1960, the home figure was 150,073. The 1961 mark was the low point with only 106,454 at Derks to see a club that was in last place almost the entire season. The 1962 season saw the Bees draw 122,619 fans, and they fell to 108,405 last year. Bees Will Listen to Anyone This year, the Bees are trying a new, friendly, approach. The club executives will listen to the fans.

In fact, the officers and directors want criticism, so they can eliminate many of the reasons for fans being uncomfortable at the ball park. This year, the fans will be able to spot the troubleshooters, who will be wearing distinctive cape and jackets. The approach is correct For years, baseball executives hid their collective heads in the sand and professed to have no worries. Then they went to the the world owes us a living attitude. And, all the time, anyone making a suggestion for making the game more enjoyable was pushed aside.

This year, the Bees are facing the facts of life. They want home town and home state support, and they want the tourist attendance. But they arent begging and they arent threatening. Under the direction of Mrs. Walter Enid) Cosgriff the Bees are making every possible effort to provide good, entertaining baseball, in clean, wholesome surroundings.

THE JOB OF catching the casual fan is much tougher than it was a decade or two ago, because the competition for that dollar is so much more keen. But you have to give the Bees credit for taking a keen approach to the problem, and well wager at the end of the year the Bees will show a sizeable increase in the turnstile count. Nice people dont have to finish last in attendance, you know.
