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. J

who helped the team win the state Class B
championship, workout in preparation for the
East-West Shrine game in Pendleton, Saturday,
East Team
Starts Night
Workouts
The East B Shrine team drilling
at the Eastern Oregon College
field here, goes under the lights
'tonight for workoifts and will
continue to use the beams on
Thursday and Friday night for
practice, Coacli Gary Burton said
this morning. They will start
evening workouts at 8 p.m.
The light but fast East crew
has been drilling since Monday
from 8:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. each
morning and from 3:30 p.m. until
5:30 p.m. under the blazing sun.
Burton said all afternoon work
outs next week will probably be
shifted to the evening schedule
also.
This morning Burton, and Tom
Cox, assistant from Sisters, were
working two sets of backs in ba
sic split-T formations while Al
Keck, line coach, from Merrill,
was working the line hard.
Burton said several backs are
being converted into the line to
give the forward wall additional
speed. Speed will be Ihe main
forte of the East team in the
game this year. !
Several of the gridders are
working both in the backfield and
on the line. Richard Erwin of
Union will be used as a fullback
and will also be shifted into the
defensive line. Grady Rawls,
quarterback from Huntington, is
also alternating at a line position.
Mike Remillard of Umatilla, who
arrived as a back, is working out
at center and also a defensive
line position.
Stanley Williams, 180 .pound
Sisters back and Norm Evans,
100 pounder from Stanfield, will
probably share punting duties.
Royce Parrel, heaviest man on
the squad at 183 pounds, Erwin
and Dean Whitely, 170 pound for
mer Athena player, are currently
working out in the fullback slot.

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.
The St. Louis Cardinals beat tiie
San Francisco Giants, 7-3, and
dropped them into third place, the
