2 Anaheim Gazette MONDAY, ANAHEIM Seal Skinning Puts O’Doul in Quandou As Bay Team Runs Loss String to S By The Associated Press A gentleman named Frank Joseph O’Doul must be wondering today whether the Coast baseball league’s 1951 season actually is under way. Or has he merely been nightmares these past eight days? Mr. O’Doul, more familiarly known as Lefty, shepherds a ball club known as Francisco Seals through the perils and pitfall of the PCL pastures. And that you didn’t know, has yet to win a game after seven starts.

Lu Mahoney led the assault on Long Beach, hanging four hits in five trips, including a triple. Robbie Mulkey had three for four, with a home run, and Evelyn Boughen contributed a homer with two on.
