NEW YORK, July 20 <*» —,
When a, pitcher wins 20 games
during a season he considers hie
work well done. Fivj (American
League hurlers are heading for
that goal right now with a few
others as outside possibilities Jo
crash the select circle. ;!
Vic Raschi, husky right hander
who appears to be leading the
Yankees to a surprise pennant,
is heading the pitching parade in
both leagues. Of his first 15 deci
sions he] had 13 victories by July
4. His two defeats were at the
hands of the Tigers, a club he
failed to beat during the first half.
The only other AL right hinder,
off to a real good season is Virgil
(Fire) Trucks of Detroit The
three othei's with good changes to
reach 20j wins are all Southpaws,]
Alex Kellner of the Athletics, Hal
NewhousCr of the! Tigers and Mel
Parnell of the Red Sox.
Outside possibilities include such
regular starting hurlers as Lou
Brissjc of the A’s, Bob Lemon ol
the Indians and Allie Reynolds ol
the Yankees. Reynolds, of course,
is what you might call half left
hander since most of his games
.ire finished by the game’s No. 1
southpaw relief pitcher, Joe , Page.
Kellner Real Sarprise
The surprise of the season ia
Kellnbr, lean lefty from Tucson,)
Ariz. The 24-year-old six-footer is
in line for the “rookie of the year”
award in the American League
On July 3 when he beat the Boston
Red Sox, 8-3, on six hits hip com
pleted the cycle of beating every
team in the league. It wa#t hia
sixth straight win and, at the time]
his 11th win in his last 12 deci-j
siops. 1 j
Kellner’s, record is all the mord
remarkable when you consider!
that his first starting effort cami
as late as May 1 when he bca
the Senators. And be had to. wui
two weeks for bis second win. Thei
he worked three games In relic)
in four days, winning a decision
each time.
, Raschi, a serious-mlindcd pitch
cr has had few bad games thk
season. Only Detroit succeeded, k
knocking him out of (he box dur|j

If Trucks continues his fine
pitching. Red Rolfe’s Tigers will
be mighty rough in the, drive to
the pennant wire. Among his top
efforts was a one-hit shutout
against the A’s and a four-hit
blanking administered to the Sen
ators. Previously he -miMed ,two
shutouts-ion homers. Early in April
he beat the Red Sox, 5-1, on three
hits [but ony of them was T*d WU-

he [live-hit! Washington for a 2-1
vtcxolry. The only enemy tun scored
on l!d Rcibjmsoo’s homer.
