Patterson Is In Workouts By JACK CUDDY United Press International , OCEANSIDE, Calif. (UPIl -Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson appears "sloppy" in his sparring session at this southern California beach resort ami shop ping center. .... Floyd, 23,. is either off form from boredom with long training or ,he's acting to help the gate for Monday's title defense against un beaten Roy Harris at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles. He. never tried acting bcfor.9, "With two more boxing work outs I'm sure I'll be sharp for tiie fight," he told sportswrlters today. "I do feel a bit slow, biit I'm get ting faster." Manager Cus D'Amato admitted ' Yes, Floyd's had previous spells when he didn't appear sharp, but never like this before at a late stage in training.'! Several New York sporlswriters, who had. witnessed Patterson's last impressive workout at M,onticello, N.y., three weeks ago, and. then saw him for the first time in the West Tuesday, were surprised at the change in his showing. True, he was using two speedy San Francisco light-heavyweights 'during Tuesday's four rounds at the Community Center. But lie had worked . with good sparmates in the East,, lop. , A. Lanky Sisto Rodriguez, who has a stand-up jabbing and hooking style similar to. that , of Harris, ' made the champion appear sloppy in their two rounds., Moreover, he landed several "sneaker" rights on. Floyd's face rights like those Harris is grooming. 'And in his two frames with shorter Frank McCoy the champ missed many , hooks and resorted to his old-time leaping "gazelle punch," as he li;ied to spear Mc Coy with flying rights and lefts. When he finished , the workout, there was a lump on the right side of Floyd's face.

BEAM DISTILLING Rookie Babe Pittsburgh Info By FRED DOWN United Press International Remember Babe Adams, the rookie who pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates to their first world cham pionship with three victories in the lflOB World Series? Well, Ihe amazing Pirates have come up with their greatest rookie pitching hero since Adams and il just could be that he'll help the Bues "steal" the National League pennant , from the Milwaukee Braves. He's George ' Witt, a 0-foot, 3-inch right-hander from Laguna, Calif., who stopped the slugging Braves oil two hits Tuesday night and pitched the Pirates into sec ond place five games out of first with .a 10-0 victory. It was' the fourth straight win for Will, who lias pitched 23 consecutive score less innings, has yielded one run in his last 35 innings and has a league-leading 1.58 earned run average. Witt, a' 200-pounci fastballer, yielded only one "legitimate" hit a ninth-inning double by Hank Aaron. The other Milwaukee hit was a fluke second-inning double which left-fielder Bob Skinner lost in the Forbes Field lights. Except for that fluke hit, Witt would have entered the ninth with a chance to pilch the first no-hitter in the 49-year History of Forbes Field. A crowd of 30,867 saw the Pi rates lake a 2-0 lead in the sixlh inning and then humiliate the world champions with a riotous eight-run rally in the eighth that marked the Bucs' biggest inning of 'the year. The Pirates, with six straight victories and 16 wins in their last 18 games at home, now start a 15-game road trip which Manager Danny Murlaugh says will "make or break" them as a contender.
