Flores Wins Sixth Victory 01 Season — A's Rookie Hurler Leads Both Leagues New York. May 24.-(UP) Jess Flores of the Philadelphia Athletics is the first pitcher in the big leagum to attain victory number six this year. His only setback was a heart-breaking two-hltter against the Boston Red Sox. Flores Is a 26 yearold Mexican who most certainly does not believe the wonder man tags which have been hung on him. The modest right-hander credits Earl Bruckner, veteran catcher-coach of the Athletics, with developing him into a winning major league burler. As Jess puts it: "The biggest break of ray baseball career came when the Los Angeles club sold me to the Athletics because that put me under Bruckner and he made me an effective pitcher. Earl corrected my delivery so that I overcame my wildneiM and helped me develop some new pitches. ‘‘Give the credit where It belongs," Jess adds. Flores' rise to tne majors was beset by discouragement. The Cuba, who once cwned him. looked at him often during his four consecutive seasons on their Pacific coast league farm. But they never did see him as a big leaguer. They cut all strings and let Los Angelas have him outright. Jess worked for the Angels last year and compiled an earned run average of 2 63 for the 185 innings he worked. That stirred the Interest of the veteran Ccnnie Mack. The "A's" virtually were alone in bidding for Flores so hie price tag was low. Now he rates as the biggest bargain of the season. Although born In Guadalajars. Mexico, Flores Is a California baseball product. He has lived on tbe coast wince he was five years old. If he continues his present pace, Flores will win more than 30 games for the Athletics this season. But even if he doesn't the Cubs have cause to ngret their hastiness in letting him go.
