By JACK CUDDY United Press International Indianapolis, Ind. - (UPD -Champion Floyd Patterson is a lopsided favorite at 10-1 to beat lantern-jawed Brian Lon don of England tonight in per haps the strangest heavy weight title fight ever sched uled. Patterson and his handlers arranged this 15-round bout with the semi-exiled Britisher at the Fairgrounds Coliseum as a "tune up" - a high-class workout to sharpen Floyd for his million-dollar defense against Sweden's Ingemar Johansson at New York, June .25. From a cash angle, it will be the most lucrative tune-up in history. London, ex-British empire champion, is guaran teed $60,000 plus trans-At lantic expenses for three peo ple and Patterson's purse may approximate $238,000. An advance sale of $100,000 indicated a crowd of 8,000 and a gate of $130,000 for the first world title fight of any any kind ever held in In diana. The TV-radio fee is an adidtional $175,000. The bout will be televised and broadcast nationally at 6 pjn. (PST), by. the National Broadcasting Co., with a TV blackout on a 75-mile radius for the Indianapolis area. Risks Are Great From the professional arigle, Patterson is not only risking his title, but he's chancing an injury, - a face cut or a frac ture that might cause post ponement or cancelation of his June classic with European champion Johansson. In his Indianapolis sparring sessions, big, black-haired Brian displayed a rough- house aggressiveness that menaced his mates n6t only with his fists but with his head and elbows. Although London's elongated chin is an inviting target, his street brawler style could make him the wrong opponent for a champion who hopes to emerge without face wounds or broken hands. Manager Cus D'Amato and trainer Dan Florio will be sweating hailstones tonight during 24-year-old Floyd's fourth defense of the crown. And in the British Isles, members of the British Box ing Board of Control will be perspiring icily for a far different reason. It was the pacify Tire Terrific Guarantee v03 EXCHANGE BBC that refused a permit for London to come to the United States and challenge for the world title. Britain's cauliflower fathers thought Brian might make a poor showing and lower British boxing prestige. But six-foot London came over anyway, -nd he impress ed American sportswriters with his yen for battle and charmed them with his co operation during press con ferences. London still , is ranked fourth among world contend ers, by our National Boxing association and eighth by the Ring magazine.

Cincinnati Next For Dodaer Nine Cincinnati (UPD The Los Angeles Dodgers - slim per centage points behind first- place Milwaukee - moved into Cincinnati tonight after vet' eran Duke Snider's big bat earned them a 6-4 victory over Philadelphia. The Dodger win at Phila delphia Thursday night also enabled the Los Angeles club to keep its record clean on at least one score: The Cali fornians haven't lost a series in 1959. The victory permitted Los Angeles to split its two- game set with the Phillies. . Drysdale Named Don I Drysdale (3-1), ace Dodger righthander, gets the pitching assignment against Orlando Pena (0-1) of the Reds. Drysdale's only loss came in the opening game of the season, although he also was knocked from the box Saturday at St. Louis when he didn't figure in the final decision. Snider's two-run, homer--an inside the park wallop and the 333rd four bagger of his career-came in the four-run Dodger seventh. Pitcher Johnny Klippstein, workhorse reliefer since he came to the Dodgers in the trade that sent Don Newcombe to the Reds last season, was credited with the win. Snider drove in three runs for. the second straight night with two hits and ran freely on the homer, showing no trouble with the knee which caused him to start' slowly this season. Aussies Suffer Naples Losses Naples, Italy-flJPD-Australian hopes of recapturing the Davis Cup were dimmed somewhat today by the surprise, defeats of southpaw Neale Fraser and Roy Emerson in the Naples international tennis tourna ment.

Emerson lost to Italy's Sergio Facchini, 6-4, 0-6, 7-5.

Lopez insisted his White Sox jyouldn't get off to the poor start that ruined them in 1958 and he's so right. A year ago at a similar stage of the season the White Sox already were seven games behind the New York Yankees. Now they're 9V games better off than they were in '58. The White Sox scored their most important victory of the new season so far Thursday night when they beat the Yan kees, 4-3, in 11 innings and thus gained a split in their first series with the world champions. Pierce Goes Route Pierce, a 160-pound lefty who pitches like a 200-pound-er, went the route, limiting the Yankees to nine hits and winning his third game of the young season. And Fox, who had four hits in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees, went 2- for-4, stretching his batting streak to seven games and raising his batting average to .423. Harry Simpson's ninth-in ning homer gave the Kansas City Athletics a 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Senators wallop ed the Detroit Tigers, 9-1, in other AL games. In the - National league, Warren " . Spahn's six - hitter gave the Milwaukee Braves a 1-0 victory over St. Louis, Los Angeles beat the Phila delphia Phillies 6-4, and the Chicago Cubs edged the Cin cinnati Reds, 3-2, in 10 in nings. .
