In the National League, San Francisco tripped Cincinnati, 3-2, Houston beat Los Angeles, 8- ATLANTA (UPI) Atlanta Braves' first baseman Orlando Cepeda learned Thursday he'll be going back to the bay area where 14 years ago he started playing baseball with the San Francisco Giants. Cepeda, who has been plagued with sore knees, was traded to the Oakland Athletics by the Braves Thursday for pitcher Denny McLain, the onetime 31-game winner now working out his problems in Birmingham, and an undisclosed amount of cash. Both players expressed satisfaction with the deal. "That's super," said McLain, "That's just great.

I'm 100 per cent armwise and my weight's W2 good. I just want to prove that I can pitch again." The Braves said McLain will start July 4 against Chicago in Atlanta. McLain, 28, won the Cy Young award twice, and his 31 victories in 1968 provided the biggest season for any pitcher in 30 years. At Birmingham he was 3-3 with a 6.32 earned run average. Cepeda had been bothered by his knees and appeared in only 28 games this season, hitting .298.

Asked about the trade in San Diego, where the Braves were "i'm happy to be going back to the bay area. I started playing there, I have a lot of friends there so I think I'm very lucky. It could be worse." Cepeda said he expected a trade. "I knew it would happen. 6, Philadelphia beat the Mets, jj, 9-4, Pittsburgh routed Montreal, 9-0, St.

By MARTIN LADEIt UPI Sports Writer "When you're hot, you're hot, man," and there's just no one who's been any hotter in this rainy month of June than the speaker of those words John Mayberry. The hard-hitting Kansas City first baseman had five hits in eight at-bats, three of them for extra Bases, and he drove home five runs Thursday night as the Royals swept a twi-night doubleheader from the Minnesota Twins, 5-3 and 12-4. In his last 10 games, Mayberry has had 20 hits in 35 chances for a sizzling .571 percentage, raising his batting average from .244 to .302, and his slugging percentage over the last 11 games is 1.000 with 39 total bases in 39 at-bats.

"I don't recall when I last had a streak like this. I don't recall when anybody had a streak like this, do you?" said Mayberry, who took a major league average of .191 covering parts of four years with Houston into the current campaign. Freehan Explodes Bill Freehan, for one, hasn't been getting as many hits as Mayberry, but he unleashed an Mayberry and Ed Kirkpatrick each drove in two runs to support Dick Drago's nine-hit pitching in the opener, then Mayberry and Kirkpatrick belted consecutive pitches for home runs in the fourth inning of the CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP nightcap. mninsTjD Why Reykjavik, Iceland?

explosive blast Thursday night with a grand slam homer with two out in the ninth inning that gave the Detroit Tigers an 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. This enabled Detroit to increase its lead in the American League East to two games over the Baltimore Orioles, who dropped a 4-3 verdict to the New York Yankees. First Round Of Cleveland Open Rained Out By GENE CADDES CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio (UPD Young Lanny Wadkins took Thursday's rainout of the first round of the $150,000 Cleveland Open golf tournament the only way he could, looking for the bright side. Wadkins, who was four shots under par after eight holes when heavy rain and lightning halted play for the second time at 10:54 a.m. said, "I'm just glad I wasn't four over." "This way, it makes me feel good coming back tomorrow.

I'll be even more fired up than I was today." Six others also lost sub-par performances Thursday, including Mike Hill, Rod Funseth and Dwight Nevil, each one under. Thursday's postponement was the fifth time a round has been scrubbed on this year's tour. The others were the Doral Eastern at Miami, the Greater Greensboro Open, the Greater Jacksonville Open and the Houston Open. The National Weather Service reported that parts of the greater Cleveland area had as much as 2.38 inches of rain during a nine-hour stretch. This, on top of nearly five inches last week, from tropical storm Agnes, made the course like a sponge.

Following the postponement, it was announced the tournament would be extended through Monday with 18 "holes scheduled each day instead of the usual 36 holes on Sunday when a rainout occurs. From here the tour goes to Ontario for the Canadian Open which starts next Thursday. Bobby Fischer was among the losers. "I'm "Next year," he said.

Why Reykjavik, Iceland? "Why not Rome?" Fischer would like to know. "Why not Paris, Oslo, Zurich, Dallas or New York? Or even Moscow? Any large city where there's people, activity and decent restaurants would be fine. Some place at least where there's something to do at night." 40 24 .625 40 26 .606 1 36 2 .554 33 33 .500 i 2 37 .439 12 24 41 .369 16Vj Pittsburgh New York Chicago St. Louis Montreal Philadelphia FOK SHOWTIMES 489-4205 West w.

Fischer reads significance into that also because the championship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax, Fischer won't. Fischer doesn't think any of these things are pure accidents.

He sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to try to beat him psychologically. "The world champion has the right to pick the site of the championships," says Fischer. "Spassky wasn't even there when the international governing body chose the site. A Russian delegation was there and they picked the site." A Political Matter Fischer feels the championships have become a political matter. That annoys him.

But it hasn't lessened any of his desire to beat Spassky. Fischer has a lot of that same "killer instinct" Jack Dempsey i had when he was fighting. Some o'f lhat instinct shows up even when he's not sitting at the chess board. Earlier this month, for example, he competed with 15 other top athletes in the Dewars Sports Celebrity tennis championships at LaCosta, and it was a little funny to watch such headliners as Rick Barry, Deacon Jones and Elgin Baylor all ask Fischer for his autograph. at METROCOLOR PANAVISION PG MGM New York (Matlack 7 4), Montreal (Moore 0 1).

night. St. Louis (Spinks 4 4) Philadelphia (Champion at 4 6), State Warriors, but there is no way Bobby Fische'r ever is going to miss playing for the world championship of chess. Even in Reykjavik. Mainly because he thinks he's going to win.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's right, and that has nothing to do with chauvinism. Spassky is good, but Fischer is better, and when the tall, curly-haired New Yorker is right, he's like Joe Frazier and Tom Seaver when they're right. Meaning nobody's going to beat him. Fischer doesn't hold back. He is exceptionally outspoken and honest, and when you hear his objections to playing in Reykjavik, they do make a good deal of sense.

Fischer has been there, so when he talks about Reykjavik he isn't doing so from hearsay but from personal experience. He says there is so little to do there, particularly at night, a guy can go out of his ever-loving mind. He's a Loner Not that Fischer is a rounder. If anything, he's much more of a loner, but there are times he would like to become part of the general mix, or at least observe it, and how can he possibly do that when there is no general mix? He also says the television coverage will be limited. If he beats Spassky, he doesn't see why it should be some kind of secret.

The Russians are the ones who picked Reykjavik. Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive.

He thinks they want to "hide" the championship because he feels he's going to take it from the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky. What's more, Fischer' thinks the Russians know he's going to do it. In this own way, Fischer is a demonstrator. He has been demonstrating the way he feels about having to play in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there. Has a Reason This has shaken up a lot of people but Fischer had a reason for his actions.

Call it one-upsmanship if you like. Boris Spassky needn't worry about Fischer not making it for their first match Sunday though.

The doctor told her that she would never again play on the LPGA tour.

But either he didn't have any faith in his own work or he didn't know Shirley. When the opportunity arose for her to participate in the USGA Women's Open championship at Winged Foot Country Club this week, Shirley jumped at the chance and astonished everyone, including herself, by turning in an even-par 72 Thursday to grab the first-round lead. It was her first appearance on the tour in 12 months. "He (my doctor) told me I'd never play competitive golf again, and I hope he's smiling," Shirley said Thursday after being the only woman among 150 entrants to match par over the rough Winged Foot layout. "But he told me that if I had the desire to try it to go ahead.
