It was never referred to as a "Gulch" unless your geography is way, way
off and you somehow erroneously connect it with Gower Gulch and the early
days of Hollywood as a producer of low-budget Westerns.  The current site
of Dodger Stadium has always been--and still is--known as Chavez Ravine. 
There's a number of sources that can verify this for you if you wish to be
accurate: The City of Los Angeles Historical Society, The Los Angeles
Conservency as well as the curators at El Pueblo de Los Angeles, a.k.a.
Olvera Street.
