Chicago manager Leo Durocher admitted mistakes after the Cubs edged the San Francisco Giants 4 3 in 10 innings. He blamed himself for not walking Willie McCovey in the eighth and noted his private life would be discussed with team owner Philip Wrigley. Durocher left the game early last Saturday due to illness and later appeared at Camp Ojibwa in Wisconsin. Wrigley expected an apology to players and staff.
