United Press International
HOUSTON — With an important series against the San Francisco
lints scheduled this weekend, the Houston Astros are anxious to
|arn if suspended first baseman Cesar Cedeno will be playing with
pi.
The first-place Astros play tonight in the Astrodome against the
Giants, who are IV2 games off the lead. Cedeno, the starting first
^eman, has been hitting .285.
The Astros are expecting word sometime today from National
ague President Chub Feeney, who has been reviewing films and
hires’ reports of Cedeno’s leap into the Atlanta stands Tuesday to
ah a heckler calling him a “killer. ”
Feeney gave Cedeno an indefinite suspension the next day, but
deno appealed through Major League Players’ Association.
Although that made Cedeno available to play until Feeney’s final
decision, Manager Bill Virdon held Cedeno out of Wednesday’s game
in Atlanta.
RCedeno said he jumped into the stands because his wife was in
Hiring range of the heckler. No one was hurt in the incident and no
piarges were filed. Cedeno was ejected from the game by the umpires.
The heckler, identified as Raymond Smith of Atlanta, voluntarily left
the stadium.
■The fan’s name-calling apparently referred to Cedeno’s 1973 in
voluntary manslaughter conviction in his native Santo Domingo for the
[shooting death of a 19-year-old girl in his motel room.
^Although the Astros said they did not condone Cedeno’s decision to
jump into the stands, they planned no action against him.

NASHVILLE — Two success-
fbasketball coaches and one for-
i: coach turned sportscaster
|(e decided to try get rid of their
ietic blues by singing country
; false statiP 10 '' _ ,
ofahunhl f° rmer Marquette Coach Al
McGuire, Kentucky’s Joe B. Hall
Bj Indiana’s Bobby Knight have
aredsevf.scheduled an all-day workout
1 grandji:Monday at the Soundshop Re-
issinafa prding Studios, under the
hing of Hendersonville re
producer Gene Large.
One country singer, Faron
[ting, didn’t appreciate the in
ion of the sports figures into
field.
If those sports people don’t
moving into our territory, I’m
going to meet with Hank Snow
and Ernest Tubb and talk with
them about getting into
coaching,’’ Young quipped.
None of the sports figures were
available for comment Thursday,
but Large said the recording effort
was no joking matter.
“This is no plaything project.
Top Nashville musicians are going
to play on the session and we ll
have the best engineering and
editing that money can buy,”
Large said. “I figure it should be
ready for release in the late fall or
early winter — along about the
time the basketball season starts.”
Although basketball coaches are
known for singing the blues, this
threesome has decided on a Coun
try-Western album.

There weren’t any floats, cheers
or parades at Bill Brock’s Baylor
University homecoming.
Making his first appearance at
the school where he coached for
the past two years, the new coach
of the Texas A&M University
women’s softball team had to set
tle for two season-opening victor
ies instead of a festive homecom
ing celebration.
However, Brock would rather
see his new team start the 1981-82
season successfully, and the
Aggies’ 11-0 and 2-1 sweep of
Tuesday’s double-header in Waco
has definitely made him rest a lit
tle easier.
That’s not to say that Brock ever
had any doubts about the efficien
cy of his young team, which re
turns 10 players off the squad that
finished fourth in the nation dur
ing the spring.
“I don’t know where the end (in
terms of success) of this team is,”
Brock said. “It has the quality to
be one of the top caliber teams in
the nation. We re still young in
areas that are crucial positions,
but I’m real optimistic.”
Brock, who took over the team
when Texas A&M coach Bill Gal
loway resigned during the sum
mer to coach at Louisiana Tech
University, coached the Division
II Bears to two straight College
World Series berths. With the
help of new assistant coach Sue
Lilley, a product of Indiana Uni
versity, Brock hopes to take the
Division I Aggies to their third
straight CWS.
In the first game of the double-
header, Shan McDonald pitched a
one-hitter as the Aggies collected
11 hits in shutting out the Bears.
Brock used several of his talented
freshmen in both games, and the
most promising performer was
first baseman Josie Carter. She
had five RBI in the first game,
including a two-run homer and a
three-run double. Adding to the
