VITAL TREAD AREA Phone SP 3-4511 Rookie Cepeda Backs Up Giants Batting Strength San Francisco, (UPI) If rookie Orlando Cepeda has a batting weakness, the Na tional league hurlers haven't been able to find it in-three months of play and that's the reason San Francisco Giants are in there battling the Milwaukee Braves for the pennant. Orlando the bull, they call him and he's just that. A. 20-year-old rookie with one of the most brilliant futures in the game of baseball. The 200-pound six - footer from Argentina, Puerto Rico, has supplanted Willie Mays in the hearts of the San Francis co crowds and he. well may become the most important man in baseball in the future. Currently hitting around the .310 mark with 17 home runs and 54 runs-batted-in, Cepeda has only one desire to play ball. Son of a great Pureto Rican ball player, Orlando has fash ioned his play after his father Because of his powerful build, the Giants tried to make a catcher out of him when he first joined their system. "But one of my father's first instructions was to tell me never to be a catcher," says Orlando. "So I refused to catch. I'll play any place else they put me. Although rated as a fine fielder Orland's big moment is when he comes to bat. He'd rather hit than eat. Ranges Far and Wide Sance that day, Cepeda has been hitting the ball to all corners of the park obvious ly intending to make sure that he never gets taken out of the lineup again. Rigney removed him because he had started to swing at too many bad balls and his average was slumping. If possible, Cepeda would like to play all nine positions at once. He goes too far to his right toward second base attempting to knock down singles and as a result he sometimes leaves firstbase un covered. The Giant pitchers Ashland Gets First Victory Ashland Cubs scored their first win in the Cub league by defeating the Grants Pass Cubs 15-0 last night at Grants Pass.

Be Dodgers Ready Case On Chavez Ravine Los Angeles (UPI) Any hopes the Dodgers had of leaving the Coliseum for their own park next year were dashed today as the club prepared to appeal a judge's ruling that the Chavez ravine contract with the city was in valid. Dodger President Walter F. O'Malley indicated he expect ed to play the entire 1959 season in the huge bowl with its 250-foot left field foul line. But he said right field must be revamped so that left-handed hitters like Duke Snider won't lose all chances of. getting an occasional home run. Superior Judge Arnold Praeger's ruling that the Dodgers' contract with the city was not valid was being studied today by attorneys for the baseball club and the city. Assistant City Attorney Bourke Jones said it might be six months before an appeal could be heard. The judge found the con PADRES OPEN SERIES IN SALT LAKE CITY By United Press International The San Diego Padres are up in Salt Lake City today, seeking to firm up their grip on the Pacific Coast league lead in a series against the Bees opening tonight.

O'Malley refused to lose his optimistic view of the Dodgers' future in Los Ange les, however, declaring he had expected that an appeal would be taken to higher courts regardless of, which side won the court test. But he said had the court ruled in favor of the Dodgers it would have meant that a preliminary injunction would have been dissolved and the club would have been per mitted to start grading of the stadium site in Chavez ravine where the Dodgers hope to erect a modern, 50,000 -seat baseball park. loss, the Solons won the se ries 4-3.

Costa, the 11-5 favorite who weighed 131 pounds to Tisi's 128, explained, "I went right after him this time with flurries of combinations and took chances in the exchanges because he's a light hitter."
