Salem 2 Softball Tournament Plans Meeting Subject Jackson County Softball asso ciation officers and team repre sentatives will convene at 8 P.m. ; today at the Medford VMCA to Failures in PCL Offset i By Surprises By SCOTT BAILLIE j United Press Sports Writer ! San Francisco - tJ,R The j Pacific Coast league has had its j share of individual failures this j season but these have been off- j set by a bumper crop of surpris- es, several of them registered by ! comparatively unknown kids from out of nowhere. j For instance. Bob Anderson ' of Los Angeles never had done : much relief hurling until he j came into the league this season I from Class A ball. But as of ; Wednesday night, he had com- j piled an 8-2 record in the clutch : and held the enemy to an earn-I ed run average of 2.65. With 47 innings under his belt, the 20- ; year-old right hander is rated a good chance of breakina Milo Candini s PCL mark of 69 frames hurled in relief. Casey Wise, a .276 hitter at Beaumont last season, has be come an institution as shortstop and leadoft man for the Angels this year. Casey is hitting a solid ! .296 and has driven in 41 runs. ! not a bad figure for a batter who starts every game with no- , body on base. j Risley Shines ! George Risley, an unsung in- ! fielder who never had reached ! .300 in his lite in the lower min-! , ors. apparently has found him- j self at third base with Sacra ment,,. Latest figures show the , Solons draftee to lie hitting .oil i while d(,ing a solid job afield. : Among tiie more established I gentry statute Ste e Dtlko. who; never hit much above .'-00 in j the National league but is roar- j ing to the PCL batting title this i year with a .;)75 average for Los Angeles, lie also has clubbed 41 i home runs and stems destined lo : bn ak Tony Lazzeri's league roc- ' old of 60. Larry Jansen, the old N e w , York Giants meal ticket, seemed about ready to play out his string at Seattle last April but he has recaptured some of the greatness he knew in the same league 15 years ago. Jansen now had a 10-2 record, his control is as pinpoint perfect as ever, and he has won his last eight games in a row. Elmer Singleton also rates as a surprise, although not as stag gering. Always a reliable work man, the Rainiers' right hander now heads the league in victor ies with 15, earned run averages with 2.63 and innings pitched with 168. Wr.ich Sisler The veteran Dick Sisler. who hit .255 with San Diego last sea son and oiten thinks about re tiring, probably has changed his mind again after his latest sclurge. Sisier went on a bat ting rampage last week and cur rently is second to Bilko in the battle for the swat title with a .353 average. Another surprising comeback has been registered by Ben Wade the Hollywood pitcher who once toiled for Brooklyn. The season ed right bander was away down with a 4-9 record on June ,'i but since then has raised his mark to 11-10. Seven of the wins came in his last eight starts. Leo Righetli of Seattle used to rate as a solid fielder who was strictly a .260 batter. But Leo lias sprouted muscles this season, adding 30 points onto his average and occasionally bal looning up to .300. LEW KOAD WINS Raettvik.
