"I've had some trouble getting started this season but maybe I'm on my way now Aaron's soaring drive off Jav Hook was only the second ball ever hit into the left Cepedi la uue To Return San Francisco- flJPD -Power-hitting Orlando Cepeda re turns to the San Francisco Giants lineup tonight as they take on Houston in Candle stick Park. The Giants, now a game and a half out of first place, indicated they may have pulled out of their June tail spin when they disposed of the St. Louis Cardinals In workmanlike fashion Satur day and Sunday. Monday night they cap tured a 4-2 exhibition victory at Tacoma before a standing-room-only crowd of 8,076, Tom Haller and Matty Alou, both former Tacoma stars, whacked roundtrippers as did Willie Mays. But th best news for San Francisco was the perform ance of lefty Mike McCor mick, who went all the way and tossed a three-hitter. The Giants desperately need that one more solid starter and McCormick could yet be it. Tonight's starting hurler for the Giants will be Billy O'Dell, 7-5, who will face Hal Woodeschick, 2-4. Woodeshick has been belted out in the second and first inning in his only starts against the Giants this year. Cepeda pulled a thigh muscle Friday and sal out the weekend battles with the Cards.

Aaron was batting only .279 on May 29 but since then has hammered away at a .400 clip that has raised his av erage to .325.

Le Mans Auto Race Imminent Le Mans, France WPli The LcMans 24-hour automobile race, known unfortunately by many as the festival of death, comes up for renewal this weekend and already many of the expected 250,000 holi dayers have crammed their way into town. Famed as the biggest event of its kind in Europe, the Le Mans race also has one of the bloodiest histories in all sport. The long grind takes a toll in human life almost every year, and it reached its peak in 1955 when 83 people were killed. Despite the danger to dri vers and spectators alike, this event annually attracts the world's leading racers and tourists from all parts of Europe. For the daredevil drivers, there is the challenge of a su- preme test, and to the winner there is everlasting glory. For the thrill-seeking spectators, there is an excuse for devil-may-care merriment. No Rooms Left Officials of Le Mans, which has a population of 135,546, reported today that not a sincle room was available in a 30-mile radius around the town. The town citizens are anxiously awaiting the big event, and most of them have taken part in organizing and catering to the race. There will be 55 drivers starting in the 24-hour classic, and one of the highlights of the race is the start itself. The drivers must all stand in marked places on the side of the track opposite their cars. At the signal the racers run to their cars, start the engines and drive off.

OREGON Bill Veeck New York -0IPI)- Bill Veeck, former major league club owner and general manager, today charged baseball Com missioner Ford Frick with dealing in "double standards" and branded owner Walter O'Malley of the Los Angeles Dodgers as "the real boss of baseball." Veeck, writing In the latest issue of "Look" magazine, said that O'Malley "is the real boss of baseball" because "somebody has to make deci sions in the absence of any contributions by the official commissioner." He said that Frick's reign "has been disastrous for base ball because it has covered a time when baseball has been in a period of transition and has needed strong and imagi native leadership." He added that Frick "openly employs double standards" in allowing National League club owners concessions denied their American League counter parts with the exception of Yankee, co-owner Del Webb. Accused Webb Veeck accused Webb of "driving me out of baseball" in the first of two copyrighted articles in Look magazine. "Along with many of my American League colleagues," Veeck said, "I have always felt that Frick could be coun ed on to throw his weight to tne National league.
