 NEW YORK, May o9-Out ir front with the best 1929 earned TUT average of major league pitchers is a 22-year old recruit named Ao Liska
 Yet with all of his hurling bril- liance he hadn't won ball game on May '. 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 preseason play.
 This is pretty hard luck for young Liska, who has been used to win ming his games. In fact, all last season he lost just four games against 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 lost 2 to l. 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 worlds champions to two hits in 1-3 innings.
 Ads best performance brought no better luck He checked Cleve- land with two hits, losing out, 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.
 Tt was a smart delivery. but they were bound to get to him in time

I suggested change and worked with him to get him to throw a curve with the same underhane motion, with the ball spinning enough to give it a slant upward.
 You couldn't tell what was com ing-it was one delivery with a fast sinker and the same delivery with the curve and slant upward. He knew when to cross them up. The batters don't care for it."-
