sighs of "Too much Willie Mays,"
and "Poor clutch hitting” mingled
with praises for the excellent pit
ching on the part of both clubs
were mutted freely in Wrigley
Field during the 4th of July dou
bieheader between the Chicago
Cubs and San Francisco Giants
Monday.
The sigh, by the capacity crowd
of 36.569 partisan crowd lamented
the fact that Mays, m the midst of
a sizzling 19-game hitting streak,
and tight pitching on the part of
Giants hurlers, combined to spoil
what was hoped would have been
a day of rejoicing for hometown
fans.
The praises were for Ernie
Banks, the brilliant Cubs shortstop
who stood up well under tremen
dous pressure, and for righthand
ers Bob Anderson and Don Elston
of the Cubs, who matched sterling
pitching performanmes by the
Giants Stu Miller, Bud Byerly and
Georges Maranda.

i Curry and Herrera are also
challenged by such other NL fresh
men as big Frank Howard of the
Dodgers, George Brunet of the
Milwaukee Braves, Dick Ellisworth

When Curry first started his
bat splurge, the word around that
he would cool off the "second time
around.” But pitchers in the lea
gue have seen him the second time

Louis played a major role in
the victory, having helped Patter

bout.
