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

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.

Boat Regulation
Reminder Given
Portland Anglers and
other boatmen are urged by
the state game commission to
get their boats equipped prop
erly before venturing onto
Oregon's lakes and streams.
The trout season opener for
several boat owners was mar
red when law enforcement of
ficers cited them for failure
to comply with the new boat
ing regulations passed by the
last legislature.
Most of the citations were
issued for failure to provide
sufficient life preservers for
the craft. Oregon law specifies
that there must be a proper
life preserver in every boat
for each person aboard. Fur
thermore, the preservers must
be of U. S. Coast Guard ap
proved quality or comparable
to this in materials or buoy
ancy. Another common violation
was failure to have a fire ex
tinguisher aboard motor pro
pelled craft. Oregon boating
law also prohibits overload
ing, running at night without
lights, or operating a boat in
such a manner as to endanger
life or property.
