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. Sweden :Uf
Wimbledon champion Lew Hoad
of Ausstralia snapped a losing
streak Wednesday by defeating
Ulf Schmidt of Sweden. 6-3.

match. Hoad had suffered three
