Donus Baby Caseballers Paying Off By HAL WOOD . United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (IP) The "bonus baby" business is start ing to pay off for the San Francisco Giants. Nineteen-year-old Mike Mc Cormick, who received $65, 000 for signing with the club when H was in New York, won his second victory against no defeats Tuesday night when he tossed a three hitter at the Pittsburgh Pi rates en route to a 7-0 tri umph. The baby-faced - southpaw said later it was "far and away the best game I ever pitched." The three hits that the Pi rates got all were of the in field scratch variety. Scattered Hits Until the fifth inning, Mike had a not-hitter going. Then Roberto Clemente, the speedy Pirates outfielder, beat out a roller to short. The other hits were a single through the box that Mike knocked down but couldn't handle; and another roller to second in the ninth inning that Dick Groat beat to first. With that kind of pitching, the Giants had no trouble. Of course, they gave the kid a good cushion to work on in the first inning when they col lected five runs on three hits. The big blow came from the bat of rookie catcher Bob Schmidt who lashed a double down the left field foul line with the bases loaded to knock in three runs. Cepeda Gets Homer Rolando Cepeda, the fine rookie first baseman of the Giants, clouted a 410-foot home run in the third for an other counter. It was the 20-year-old star's eighth circuit smash of the season. The other run came in the sixth inning when, with the bases loaded, Willie Mays flied to the outfield to score Willie Kirkland. McCormick, mean while, was coasting along, striking out four and walking only one. "It was Mike's best control performance," lauded Mana ger Bill Rigney in the dress ing room. "He was ahead of the batters all night." BOUT POSTPONED -Los Angeles (W Thurs day night's scheduled 10 round bout between Gil Ca dilli of Los Angeles and Tom my Tibbs of Boston has been postponed because of illness to Cadilli. A new middle weight card featuring Al Williams of Los Angeles and Eloy Teller of San Antonio, Tex., was made up as a substitute. chance at a title. Both Brown and Dupas wound up heavy work Mon day and exercised only light ly Tuesday. Brown, 31, broke up his training camp at a YMCA camp 23 miles from down town Houston and motored into the city for the night. Dupas, followed by newsmen, left his downtown hotel for a 12-block walk late Tuesday afternoon. The challenger was relaxed as he strolled through city streets. His trainer and co manager, Angelo Dundee, predicted the fight would go the distance with Dupas win ning a decision with his speedy jabs and footwork. Not Taken Seriously "Brown doesn't take Dupas very seriously," Dundee said, "and he'sgoing to be in for a shock. Dupas can knock him out if he nails him and he may nail him tonight." Lou Viscusi, Brown's man ager, stopped figuring the gate which he hopes will reach $60,00, long enough to predict a knockout by Brown in the middle rounds. "Those light punches of Du pas won't matter," Viscusi said. "Brown wil catch him and then it will be all over," Viscusi predicted the contest would shape up as "a boxer versus a slugger" with Brown eventually catching the fleet Dupas. A host of New Orleans boosters knocked down early 2 to 1 odds in favor of Brown Tuesday although both men are from New Orleans. It ap peared the odds would be at even money when the two men square away at 8 p.m. (est). The fight will be tele vised over ABC stations with Houston blacked out for a 100-mile radius.
