Drysdale has been doing a great deal of thinking and although he felt he might call it quits last week because of trouble in his shoulder, his thinking is different today. I left some room open, he says now. T was thinking along those lines a little bit but I never said flat out I was retiring.

I tan throw but I cant throw with full power, This is Drysdale says. something I have to do. been a power pitcher all my life. What happened hi my last start against the Giants was that I couldnt get any velocity on my fast ball. I couldnt get my arm up and over enough and when that happens I get too much elevation on my fast ball and Im not the kind of guy who can pitch high. If I cant set the ball down Im in trouble. The Giants beat Drysdale, last Tupsdav night, driving him to the showers after four innings and it was after that contest he was at his lowest ebb and talked about to baseball saying bye-by- e even though it is paying him better than $100,000 a year.
