Thoridoy. Aug. 17, 1972 14 The Evening Sentinel Gary Ryerson Commands Respect okay with me," Ryerson jumped right in. That was two months ago and Frank Lane hasn't gotten over being astounded. "They don't come that way anymore," he says.

Gary Ryerson beat Cleveland, 4-2, in in his first start for the Brewers and since then has molded a 2.54 earned run record. His 3-4 log doesn't 36 Flyer leers Sign Contracts "5 nT I i in v-- t' iv- T' look like much, but then you have to remember he's pitching for the last-place Brewers and poor defensive work contributed to three of those losses. Ryerson isn't at all sensitive about his leg. He doesn't even consider it a handicap although he limps slightly when he runs. "If you want to look at it that way, everybody has a handicap," he says.

"A person may have two good legs and two good arms, but a poor disposition. In a sense that's a bigger handicap than some physical ones. "My ambition in life was to make the major leagues. I did -that, and now I would like to establish myself and prove that I deserve to be here. My leg, or the fact I wear a brace on it, doesn't bother me at all.

When I was younger, the kids would say some things. I'd hesitate to go swimming because I didn't want people to see my leg. When I got older, I realized I couldn't hide it. The condition of my leg is something I was born with and couldn't get rid of. I have to live with it and make the best of it, and that's what I've tried to do." Whether he ever wins another ball game or not, Gary Ryerson has done a superb job.

It did 't take the Brewers long to figure that out either. Ten days after he was with them, they told him maybe he'd better bring his wife up, too, from Evansville. down as a non-prospect' for two years when he was with Amarillo and I was managing Albuquerque." Ryerson was 8-3 with Evans-ville two months ago (two of those three defeats were 1-0 jobs) when his manager there, Mike Roarke, walked over to him in the clubhouse one night, pulled over a chair and told him: "You're going up to the big leagues either tonight or tomorrow morning. Don't take your wife." The reason Roarke said what he did was because righthander Jerry Bell of the Brewers had come up with a bad back and Ryerson was expected to fill in only until he came back. One of the first things Ryerson did after receiving the news of his promotion to the big leagues was call his Dad, Walt, in Los Angeles and tell him.

"Who died up there?" was his father's initial reaction. Frank Lane, the Brewers' general manager, didn't lead Ryerson around any mulberry bush when he reported to Milwaukee. "You'll be here until Bell is reinstated," Lane told him. "Of course, you can knock all that into a cocked hat by going out there and pitching a couple of shutouts." That was okay with Ryerson. "I'll do my best," he said.

"I'm just delighted to be here. I never thought I had a chance to get up here." "Now about your contract Lane continued. "Whatever you put in it is By MILTON RICHMAN LTI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI)-Every-one likes a man who stands on his own two feet and right there is the big reason so many people fall in love with Gary Ryerson. The 24-year-old rookie lefthander with the Milwaukee Brewers has this indefinable built-in, natural appeal about him. It hits you 30 seconds after you first meet him.

People take to him immediately, even before finding out he had polio as a kid, even before finding out the doctors warned him he might wind up with a club foot and even before noticing he still wears a brace on his left leg which is half the size of his right one. "He's the type ballplayer you wish all the others were like," says his manager, Del Cran-dall. "Never one word of complaint. It's never too cold or too hot for him; the mound never is too high or too low; the wind never is blowing too much in or out, and the fences never are too close or too far. He just goes out and does his job." A fair sample of Gary Ryerson's work is the last ball game he pitched for the Brewers five days ago.

Until this year, Ryerson had never pitched above Class AA although this is his sixth season in pro ball. He was originally ia the Giants' chain and the Brewers got him in a deal. "I just want you to know I'm a pretty good judge of talent," Crandall says, with a dig at himself.
