By JAY VESSELS (A. P. Sports Writer) NEW YORK, May 20—Out in front with the best 1929 earned run average of major league pitchers is a 22-year old recruit named Ad Liska. Yet with all of his hurling bril- liance he hadn't won a ball game on May 7. At that time the unof- ficial averages showed Ad had worked in something like 38 innings and had allowed only 13 hits. On top of this were several bits of re- markable tossing flashed during pre-season play. ‘This is pretty hard luck for young iska, who has been used to win- ; his games. In fact, all last on he lost just four games nst 20 victories. The $20,000 beauty whom Wash- ington bought from Minneapolis- of the American association held Bos- ton to six hits in his first start, but Jost 2 to 1. Then he went in as a relief flipper against the Yankees and, with the score tied, hurled near perfect ball for three innings. He lost in the ninth after holding the world’s champions to two hits in 3 1-3 innings. Ad’s best performance brought no better luck. He checked Cleve- land with two hits, losing out, 1 to 0, because of two errors. Liska’s climb from a Mississippi Valley league player in 1927 to a ‘Washington regular in 1929 centers around his one-year stay with Minneapolis, during which he won 20 games and lost four. Mike Kelley, Minneapolis, mana- ger, who has sent several of them on their way to the top, writes about Ad: “When Liska came to us in the spring of 1928 from the Mississippi Valley league he used a sinker— an underhand style delivering a fast ball which broke inward on a right handed batter and outward on a left handed batter before it sank. “It was a smart delivery, but they were bound to get to him in time.’Dyir.
