Joe Pepitone Stars As Yanks Beat Chicago By DICK JOYCE UPI Sports Writer Joe Pepitone is coming along just like old pro Joe DiMaggio said he would, so there’s little doubt in the New York Yankees’ camp today that the Brooklyn belter can fill Bill Skowron’s shoes at first base. The 22-year-old Pepitone, tabbed by DiMaggio as a future star at training camp last year, socked his sixth and seventh homeruns of the exhibition season Sunday to lead the Yankees to a 10-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Pepitone, who bats and throws left-handed, now leads the powerladen world champions in tJ homers and also has batted in 14 runs. Some observers felt the Yankees were giving away too much when they sent Skowron to the Los Angeles Dodgers this winter in exchange for pitcher Stan Williams. Brass Breathing Easier But Pepitone, showed flashes of brilliance in his rookie year last season although hitting only .239 in 63 games, has the Yankee brass breathing easier. They now are hopeful that Joe will man the Yankee first base station for many years to come. Cletis Boyer got four hits and Hector Lopez homered in the Yankees’ 17-hit attack against the White Sox. Ralph Terry pitched seven innings for New York, giving up eight hits, including a pair of homers' by J. C. Martin. In other games, Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves shut out the Baltimore Orioles, 2-0; the Los Angeles Dodgers outslugged the Cincinnati Reds, 10-8: the New York Mets downed the Kansas City Athletics, 6-1; the Philadelphia Phillies edged the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3: the Washington Senators tripped the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2; and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Minnesota Twins, 6-3. The Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs, 3-1, the Houston Colts ripped the Los Angeles Angels, 9-3, and the Cleveland Indians handed the San Francisco Giants their seventh straight loss, 7-6. The veteran Burdette became the Braves first pitcher to pitch nine innings and bolstei*ed his chances of regaining a starting > Wtr 'k'fter’ last/year's disappointing season. He held the Orioles to five hits while Frank Bolling and Hank Aaron drove in the Milwaukee runs. ’ Hook Goes Route Rookie third baseman Ken McMullen collected three hits, including two doubles, and drove home four runs for the Dodgers. Jay Hook went the route for the Mets, allowing seven hits and striking out nine. Jack Hamilton’s four innings of scoreless relief pitching and Cookie Rojas" 10th inning single provided the Phils with their victory. Rookie Tom Brown continued his lusty hitting by breaking a 2-2 tie with a bases loaded single for Minnesota. Claude Osteen pitched nine innings for the Nats against the Cards; Jake Wood hit a homer and drove in three runs for Detroit, and Carl Yastrzemski’s three hits and six strong innings by rookie hurler Dave Morehead paced "the Red Sox over the Cubs* The Colts slammed Bo Belinsky. Jack Spring and Tom Morgan for 13 hits. Vic Davalillo and Fred .Whitfield each hit two-run homers for the Indians while Orlando Cepeda had a two-run homer for the Giants.

Jerry Barber Is Winner Os Azalea Open WILMINGTON, N.C. (UPD— Affable Jerry Barber had a feeling he would win his third Azalea Open golf tournament, but a news photographer almost spoiled things for him. "It happened on the 17th hole,” said a happy Barber, who strung together five birdies on the back nine Sunday to win the tournament going away with a 14-under-par 274. At this juncture, the Los Angeles pro already had a fourstroke lead. "But one bad shot could have made it a new ball game,” he said “Right in the middle of my swing I heard the camera click. I flinched. Ball Goes Straight “Luckily the ball went straight. But it could have wound up in a clump of trees or in a creek and I would have been in trouble. “He could have blown me right out of the picture.” Billy Maxwell, Doug Ford, Larry Beck, Jack Rule and Bruce Crampton finished in a five-way tie for second place at 279, five strokes behind the diminutive Californian. Maxwell, Ford and Beck were tied with Barber after the front nine, but the Californian went on a birdie spree on the backside that buried the field. Barber, at 5-7 and 137 pounds one of the smallest pros in the tournament, went out in regulation strokes with one birdie and one bogie. But on the back nine he collected birdies on the 11th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 18th. Can’t Explain It “I don’t know how to explain it,” Barber said, “but I never felt like I was going to lose. I just never felt it.” He said he had the same feeling when he won his last tournament, the 1961 PGA championship. The victory made Barber the only pro to win the Azalea three times. He picked up other victories here in 1953 and 1961. In addition to first prize money of $2,800, Barber picked up a SIOO bonus for tying Dow Finsterwald for the lowest round of the day, and another SI,OOO for being among the second and third round leaders. Finsterwald finished back in the pack at 283. Tied for seveth place were Jerry Steelsmith awj. Ggna JUL tier at 280 followed one stroke back by Dave Marr, Bill Dunk and Lionel Hebert.

Heavy Weekend Toll In Indiana Traffic By United Press International Fog foiled for nearly five hours today the discovery of a fatal accident near LaPorte which followed a 10-death weekend and sent Indiana’s 1963 toll to 237 compared with 220 a year ago. The body of James Robert McCutcheon, 22, Michigan City, was found in his wrecked car on a county road which crosses beneath the Northern Indiana Toll Road. McCutcheon entered the toll road at 2 a.m. He apparently dozed while driving along the superhighway. The car crashed through a fence, plunged more than 400 feet and landed on the county road near the underpass entrance. It was found by a passing motorist near 7 am. The weekend toll was heavy apparently because winter-weary Hoosiers taking a look at the greening countryside swelled traffic throughout the state. There were six deaths Saturday, two Friday night and two Sunday. William Larcom, 21, Valparaiso, died Sunday an hour after his car overturned on U.S. 30 at Valparaiso. Marcia Janice Bernhart, Valparaiso, a passenger in his car, was injured.

Second Probe Underway In Butts' Case ATLANTA (UPD—Atty. Gen. Eugene Cook puts the finishing touches today to an investigation which he said indicates that Wally Butts passed “vital information” to Alabama Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant.

The magazine article quoted Atlanta insurance man George Burnett as saying he overheard a telephone conversation between Butts and Bryant in which j igaveu Bryant vital information.'
