big factor in most of the games IN the
winning streak He has guarded the
home plate like a police dog and
steadied the pitchers when the going
was rough He has committed only one
negligible error and has more than
made up for it by snaring several hard
fouls. He has led the Cubs batting
attack with Is hits in II games. most
of them coming when a hit meant
winning runs.
