One of the big pitching surprises, if it can be called a surprise, is "Al" Milnar, lefthander of the Cleveland Indians. Milnar, who had his first try with the Tribe in 1936, was farmed out and recalled in 1938. He won three and lost one that year, and clicked with fourteen triumphs against twelve defeats last year, third highest among the Indian pitchers. He also had an earned run average of 3.82 over the 209 innings he hurled. This year he has proved a most effective pitcher, and if he keeps up his present pace should wind up with the league leaders.
