For at the age of 36 Shellenback not only continues to be one of the| leading pitchers of the circuit but| with each added victory he in-/ creases the all-time league record) for total triumphs. ’ At the end of the first half of | the 1935 season the Stars' pilot- | pitcher had won eight out of m‘] games, increasing his total to 283, for 14} seasons of toil on the| mound in the class AA circuit. This | was 20 more than the mark set| by Charles (Spider) Baum, now sec- retary of the Hollywood club. Shellenback, despite his phenome- nal pitching success, has been ma- rooned in the Coast league by too much moisture. He had one chance in the big leagues—with the Chicago ‘White S8ox—before the spit-ball was legislated out. But this was in 1917 when he was just starting. First Yea: As Boss The Hollywood manager came to| this league in 1920, playing with th old Vernon club. After sojourns with several other clubs in the cir- cuit he came to Hollywood in 1926 and has been on the Stars roster ever since. This is his first season as manager. | Since coming to Hollywood, Shel- | ly has pitched 173 victories for a 676 average. Just to help his own cause along, he has hit mcre than 50 home runs during that time, keeping his batting avergge for a| nine year tour of duty with the| club above .250. His best year was 1931, when he won 16 straight games, annexed 27 out of 34, hit 9 home runs and| chalked up a batting average of .285. Last season, although suffer- ing from neuritis in his left arm, he won 14 against 12 defeats but appears to be back in his old stride again this year. 25 Percent Natural Ability’ “Pitching,” Shellenback explains, GAMES WEDNESDAY Pacific Coast League Hollywood 5; San PFrancisco 3.
