Giants Score Third Win In Row Thursday By United Press International Orlando Cepeda, the "baby bull” who turned "coat” in late 1982, is belting his way back into the hearts of the San Francisco Giants and Golden Gate fans. One of the Giants’ World Series disappointments and a holdout until the club gave him a token SI,OOO raise in salary, the 200-pound first baseman has start, ed the 1963 season like he intends to win the pennant for San Francisco all by himself. Giants Sweep Series The defending National League champions—busts on the Cactus League circuit—swept to their third straight victory Thursday night by whipping the Houston Colts, 7-1, behind a 12-hit attack that included a homer, two singles and three runs batted in by Cepeda. The heavy cannonading made it easy for Billy O’Dell to breeze to a three-hit, six-strikeout triumph. In the Giants’ three-game sweep at Houston. Cepeda hammered out nine hits—three in each gamehit two homers and two doubles, drove in seven runs and piled up 17 total bases. There were only two other contests played in the NL—the Milwaukee Braves beat the New York Mets, 6-1, and the Chicago Cubs topped the Los . Angeles Dodgers, 2-0. The Giants’ 3-0 record gives them a half-game lead over St. Louis and Philadelphia, each unbeaten in two games. Retires IS In Order Willie McCovey and Felipe Alou also had three hits in the Giant attack on Ken Johnson and three successors. O’Dell was tapped for two singles by Carl Warwick and one by Rusty Staub before retiring the last IS Colts in order. Houston’s first-inning run was unearned Warren Spahn pitched a sixhitter and Hank Aaron homered for the Braves, who celebrated the start of their second decade in Milwaukee. The win was the 328th of Spahn’s career and the homer the 299th of Aaron's campaigns in the NL. Spahn struck out five to raise his league record for left-

Cheney Hurls One-Hitter As Senators Win By United Press International The Washington Senators aren’t being consulted about that “hot line” between Washington, D.C., and Moscow but they sure are in favor of the one between the nation’s capital and Pittsburgh, Pa. The Washington to Pittsburgh “hot line” has been used by two different Senator general managers in a little more than 18 months — with results that must make Pirate G.M. Joe Brown flinch every time the phone rings. On June 29, 1961 Ed Doherty dialed Brown and obtained pitcher Tom Cheney from the Pirates. Then, on Dec. 14, 1962, George Selkirk tried the same number and acquired catcher Don Lepper t for the Senators. Both Cheney and Leppert are reacting to the change like a pair of G.I-’s who have just been transferred from Siberia to Paris. Herb One-Hitter Cheney, who last Sept. 12 set a major league record by striking out 21 batters in a 16-inning game, made his 1963 debut for the Senators with a one-hitter Thursday night while Leppert, who hit only three homers all last season for the Pirates, belted three and knocked in five runs in support, of his batterymate. The result was an 8-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox that put the Senators in the win column for the first time this season. The Baltimore Orioles achieved their best start in a decade when they beat the New York Yankees, 4-1, for their third straight victory; the Detroit Tigers downed the Cleveland Indians, 6-1, and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 3-1, in other AL games. Two homers by John (Boog) Powell and the five-hit pitching of Milt Pappas enabled the Orioles to Spoil the world champion Yankees’ home opener. Powell hit a two-run homer to snap a 1-1 tie in the fifth and also connected in the seventh. Pappas allowed the Yankee run on a fourth-inning homer by Mickey Mantle. New York ace Whitey Ford suffered the defeat Don Mossi, one of the Tigers’ big question marks, pitched a perfect game for 6 1-3 innings and wound up with a two-hitter. Mossi, only 11-13 in 1962, didn’t walk a batter and struck out six. He also had two singles — one driving in two runs in the fourth inning and the other leading to a run in the sixth. Tony Martinez and Gene Green had Cleveland’s hits. The White Sox spoiled Bo Belinsky’s evening for both himself and fiancee Mamie Van Doren by taking advantage of his wildness to score two runs in the sixth inning and assume a lead they held behind the four-inning shutout relief pitching of Hoyt Wilhelm, Floyd Robinson homered off Belinsky for. the White Sox’ first run and rookie Pete Ward had two triples. Hank Aaron Slams Out 299th Homer MILWAUKEE (UPI) — One more homer and Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves will be the 21st player in baseball history to hit 300 or more during his career. Aaron hit the 299th of his career Thursday as the Braves beat the New York Mets, 61. Before the season is over he should pass such sluggers as Chuck Klein 300 homers, Roger Hornsby 302 and Al Simmons 307 to rank No. 17 on the all-time list.

Jackets Lose Season Opener ToVanWerf The Decatur Yellow Jackets dropped their season opener Thursday afternoon at Worthman field, losing to a good Van Wert team by a 7-1 count Van Wert, with two games already under their belts, scored three runs in the first and again in the seventh innings, in addition to a single tally in the fifth. . The Decatur nine touched Van Wert hurier Knittie for only two hits, a single by John Custer in the third inning and a single by Jim Martin in the sixth frame.

Van Wert jumped off to a 3-0 lead in the first inning, scoring three unearned runs. Singles by Knittie and Polluck combined with a walk and two Decatur errors, resulted in th? tallies. Knittie’s home run in the fifth accounted for the fourth run, and two singles and a double by Geething in the seventh closed out their scoring. The Jackets got their only run in the first inning when Custer was hit by a pitch and Max Elliott walked. Both advanced on a passed ball, and Custer then came home on a sacrifice fly to Centerfield by Bill Conrad. Dave Gay and Denny Cookson shared hurling chores for Decatur, Gay giving up three runs and three hits in the three innings he worked, while Cookson allowed four tallies and five hits. Coach Bill McCblly’s club returns to action a week from today, traveling to Huntington.
