Hargan spread around nine hits, struck out 10 and gave up no earned runs. His ERA stands at 1.72 in 68.1 innings pitched.

He has a 6-3 record, the best on the club, struck out 43 so far season and has hurled six complete games. He throws harder and harder and is a joy to watch. Unlike the more chickenhearted of his brethren his philosophy is the better the batter the harder you have to throw. I For instance Mickey I Mantle. the best there Hargan said.
