ST. LOUIS. Aug. 2.-Early Wynn,
the Mats husky highlander who
was the object of the New YORK
Yankees affection last winter, amt
nobody's sweetheart now. A 17-game
winner last year, Wynn currently
is struggling along with a I'll rec
ord and resembling one of the
leagues less distinguished pitchers.
Wynn was a coveted chattel last
December at the major league meet
ing in New York. The Yankees were
dangling four players before Clark
Griffith in an effort to pry him
from the Mats, and the deal nearly
was closed when the Mats boss
called it off because he believed
Manager Bucky Harris Of New York
had released the story prematurely
Grifflth's tiff with Harris, who
was innocent, Cancelled trade
whereby the Mats would have OBJ
tanned two outfelders, a pitcher
and a catcher. 1t marked the sec
ond big deal in two years that the
Mats had been offered by the YAM
KEGS who proffered First Baseman
George McQuinn, Third 'Baseman
Bill johnson, Outfielder Johnny
Lindell and Pitcher Joe Page to
Washington for Mickey Vernon
after he batted 1853 in 1916.
Wynn's Failure a Mystery.
The Yankees may be happy they
didn't come up with Wynn, whose
failure to click this season remains
one of baseball's mysteries. Wynn
hasn't won a game since June 25,
and in six of his last 10 starts he
has been belted from the mound in
less than four innings.
Wynn recently has been belted
out by Philadelphia in l2s innings,
by Boston in / inning, by Detroit
in p of an inning, by Chicago in
IA innings, by st. Louis 3ls innings
and by st. Lotus in 22s innings.
The Browns dubbed Wynn for
four runs, including homers by Dick
Kokos and Jerry Priddy, before he
left the first game of a double
header in the third inning here
Yesterday. The Mats lost the opener
8-5. but captured the nightcap, 4-3.
Wynn's collapse Can't be attributed
to laziness. He's the Mats most
willing worker and was so intent on
having successful season that he
shed 80 pounds over the winter in
the belief it would add effectiveness
to his fast ball.
It may have been a disastrous
move, for Wynn admitted earlier IN
the year after blanking Chicago on
three hits that he didn't have his
customary steam. He felt he weak
ened himself by reducing, but hoped
to regain strength as he took on
more weight. 1t hasn't developed
that way.
Wynn's poor pitching has affected
his hitting.- apparently, for the
usually feared pinch-hitted is bat
ting feeble 1872. ,
The Browns grasped an early 4-3
lead off Wynn, but the Mats locked
the game A in the sixth when
Vernon walked, moved to second as
Mark Christman was tossed out
and scored on Eddit Yost's double.
Zarilla Socks 2-Run Homer.
AL Zarilla's 2-run homer of Tom
Ferrick, the first-game loser, fea-
tured the Browns 3-run outburst
in the seventh and they boosted
the score to 8-4 in the eighth when
Joe Ostrowwski walked and came
around on singles by Bob Dillinger
and Zarilla. The Mats produced
their final run in the ninth when
