RAINIERS IN BobMonlag 5.2 VICTORY Of Slaters OVERPADRES (By the Associated Press) ‘This year the Pacific Coast league should have an ample supply of 20-game winners. Today the PCL pitching parade— headed in 1948 by Red Lynn, ex-| Los Angeles, with a mere 19 games | —is topped by Seattle Guy Fletcher with 15 wins, just past the season’s halfway point. Fletcher racked up No. 15 last| night in twirling the Rainiers to a 5-2 decision over San Diego. Fletcher spaced 11 Padre hits as his mates bunched most of thewr six hits in the fourth and eighth innings for clusters of three and two runs off Lyman Linde. Hillis Layne’s homer with one on was the big blow.

I, Slaters is hitting .502. | How does he do 1t? The husky rightfielder from Cin< cinnati, O, says, “It’s a constant| mental battle with the pitchers.” ! For example: “When the pitcher gets a strike on me, I spread right out in the box. They think I'm expecting a| curve, but I want to see that fast| one. “Another time I'll fall away from a fast curve. If the pitcher throws it again, I'm set to break it to pieces.” And they really pitch to him. A; lot of lesser lights in the Class B - business today, Joe is it.
