 New York, Aug. 21-(UP)-Ace Adams of the New York Giants is the unsung pitching hero of the 1922 baseball season and-aS usual there's a bit of pathos in his un- recognized success.
 Adams, a chunky, fair-skinned, broWn-haired guy from Iron City, Ga, is like most indispensable cogs in any typically Amreican organ ization. He's such a great and de- pendable relief pitcher that his value in that post prevents him from being raised to a starter-a major league starter-the goal of every finger in organized baseball.
 Ace Adams is certain to make the headlines this year as the greatest workhorse in modern major league history. It appears now that he will play in more than 56 games, break ing the joint record held by Christy MatheWson Q908) and Hugh Null cahy Q93D.
 Last night Adams made his 49th appearance of the season, taking the mound in the eighth inning of the Giants Dodgers game at Ebbets field. And the Giants still have 35 games to play-with their lament ablyy uncertain pitching staff.
 Adams, who has the modified draWl of Georgia cracker dipped lengthily In metropolitan milk, isn't much interested in this workhorse record. But when we mentioned the word starter" in the Giants oven- hot dressing room at Ebbets field, he snapped at 1t like a hungry turtle.
 Sure, I'd like to be starter" he replied eagerly. That's the real job."
 Hopeful
 Adams brown eyes glistened as he pictured himself regular start CT, with four or five days of rest between mound assignments-days that would build up his pitching explosiveness so that he could go out there on the hill and mow 'em down to command the headlines as Whit Wyatt of the Dodgers did last night with his one-hittSr.
 Then his eyes dulled, and he said:
 q guess I won't be starter for some time, because they need me to work the way I am going. And If that's the way I can help the club most, it's okay with me-" he added.
 And certainly that's the way he c-a-n help the club most. accord ing to Manager Mel Ott. As little Mel climbed into his civvies, he pointed out:
 Adams is great relief pitcher one of the best have ever seen. It's not question of whether l want to use him as a starter. just couldn't do that. He's too val uable in relief role. I've got to have him ready, any day, at any time. to come in in pinch. If I used him as starter, I'd have to rest him between starts. And l have no one else I can rely on In the pinches as I can on Adams"
 Adams, who was baptized Ace" and now is 28. is credited with but five wins and three losses in the offi- cial averages. He has pitched only some 70 innings in his 49 games. But Ace emphasized that those fig- ures mean nothing, because every day of the season he's out there warming up in the bull pen--get- ting ready for a rescue call. Some times he warns up three or four times during 8 game without being called.
 Pacing Important
 He explained:
 "The toughest thing about this bull pen pitching is to pace your self so that you are right when you go out to the mound. You can't warm up too completely or you'll get on edge-and then not be called And you can't let yourself get toe
