too anxious TO win, And you can 81
the same about Meyers although I dor

My control was so rotten that VIII
Schang stepped up IN the fai

have been so anxious TO get into q
series that brooding over the varc
games has put me off edge. Shafer Is {
infielder by profession and ! certainly
not blame him for misjudging Collin

After the game McGraw was in bI

long time. simply because he feels
we all do, that the Giants will hit m
