 New York, July 15-(UP) Coveted goal of all major league pitchers is 8 20-game winning season and this is the tnme of year when the rec ords of baseballs noundsmen give almost crtain indications whether they will hit that mark or not.
 Last season just five pitchers Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer of Cincinnati and Claude Passeau of the Chicago Cubs in the National league and Bobby Teller of Cleye- land and Buck Newsom of Detroit in the American league-achieye the distinction of winning 20 or more games.
 Of that quintet, only Teller and Walters today are pitching with the effectiveness necessary to earn 20 triumphs again. Teller already is assured of his third straight year among the pitching elit with IS de- cisions. Walters has won Il and the calibre of his mound work makes him almost sure of winning 20.
 Derringer and Newsom have been the most spectacular flops The Cin- cinnati righthander has dropped 12 while winning onl yseven. Newsom has been charged with il losses againset seven wins. Passeau has won nine and lost eight and needs lots of luck to win 20.
 Replacing those left at the post in their bid to report 1o4o's success will be four pitchers who today loo ksure of wining 20. Two, Whit low Wyatt and Kirby Higbe, are Brooklyn righthanders and have won 13 each. The other pair Is Fl. mer Riddle of Cincinnati and Thornton Lee of the Chicago White Sox, who have each won 10. Rid. dle, in his second year with the Feds, has never been defeated while Lee, who never has won 20 in his eight years in the majors, seems headed in that direction at last.
 Nice Work, Bob
