Name that player!

Among the most notable comebacks of 1940 you'll find the name of Elden Auker, pitcher with the St. Louis Browns. Auker was sold to the Browns in the winter of 1940 by the Boston Red Sox. With the Red Sox he failed to display the stuff that had made him one of the best moundsmen on the staff of the Detroit Tigers. The switch to the Browns seemed to put new life into the lanky Kansan - he won 16 and dropped only 11 for a percentage of .593, his top effort in three seasons.



The 1951 season had just gotten under way when Les was traded to the Red Sox by the Browns. Now he's back with the Browns, being traded in December of '51. The Browns brought Les up to the majors at the end of the '46 season after he batted .297 at Toledo, and in 12 games he hit .371. His hitting dropped off to .157 in '47, but he brought it up to .257 in '48 and in '49, Les hit .291, and .266 in '50. In 1944 and 1945 he served in the Merchant Marine.



First hit the majors with the Browns in 1939. Remained with them through 1947, with 3 years out for the armed forces. Traded to the Cleveland Indians in April 1948. With them for 2 seasons. Divided the earlier part of the 1950 campaign between San Diego and Sacramento of the Pacific Coast League. With Pittsburgh Pirates rest of season, hitting .206 for 40 games. Now back with the Browns.
