...played what I call barn-yard basketball tonight," said coach Bob Harrison after the contest. I mean that through the middle of the game we just traded baskets with them. When you get ahead of a team like we did, that's the time you've got to stomp them," he explained...
David Manber's scenario, an unstable amalgam of early Arthur Miller and late James M. Barrie, gives the frustrated boy soliloquies that would make Peter Pan queasy. He calls his dog "noble steed," plays mincing bullfighter to a pickup truck, decorates a barn with painted flowers-and finally floats off to war. But all is probably well.

Protests and Payoffs.

If Seaver's acquisition was fortuitous, Koosman's was truly preposterous. Who but the Mets would act on a tip from one of their stadium ushers? The usher's son, who caught for an Army nine at Fort Bliss, Texas, wondered whether the Mets might be interested...
