Foot Race Costs Giants Key Player Run at Pennant
The San Francisco Giants may miss Orlande Cepeda for much or all of the season after knee surgery. Cepeda, who had cartilage removed from his right knee last winter, was en route to San Francisco for further treatment instead of leaving the disabled list as planned. A spring training foot race with Herman Franks caused the injury and an examination by Dr. Harrison Moe Laughlin suggested a lengthy recovery with no exercising.

Hart Tries Another Crack At Boxing Bill
Senator Philip A. Hart of Michigan reintroduced the 1965 boxing bill placing pro boxing under federal policing. The plan creates a U.S. boxing commissioner in the Justice Department with broad powers, requires federal licenses, and allows enforcement through suspensions, revocation, and criminal penalties up to 5000 dollars and five years for violators. The measure follows a similar proposal that stalled last year in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
