SF Giants
Go Against
Milwaukee
Milwaukee, Wis. (UPD - If
the San Francisco Giants are
fojng to be serious contenders
for the National League flag,
they are going to have to im
prove upon their 1958 record
- against the Milwaukee Braves.
The Giants and the Braves
clash tonight in the first of
22 engagements over the sea
son, with either Jack San-
, ford (3-1) or Sam Jones, (1-3)
slated to oppose the Braves
Carlton Willey (0-0).
Last year the Giants were
real patsies for the Braves.
' losing 16 of 22 contests to the
senior loop's pennant winners.
But things seemed to have
changed for the Giants.. They
have a big three in their
mound corps - Sanf ord, John
ny Antonelli and Jones. And
, last year's freshmen have
; year under their, belts and
aren't expected to be awed
by the Braves.
. The Giants were rained out
Thursday night at Pittsburgh
after fans waited an hour and
a half for the official post
ponement. Dunne the day,
Manager Bill Rigney ordered
; his charges out for special
batting drills.

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. His Henry

Cooper defeat was London's
fourth in 26 starts. He never
was knocked off his feet,
though he was stopped once
when woozy and bleeding. A
fair puncher, he registered 19
knockouts.
London, like Patterson, is
24.
Champion Floyd, Rockville
Center, N.Y., is a lopsided
favorite because of his speed,
skill, punch and record. He
knocked out 15 of his last 16
opponents and now seeks his
22nd straight victory. He lost
but one of his 35 starts, on a
questionable decision, and
registered a total of 25
kayoes.
Ayres is a definite high
jumper with Shults and Koch
leaping if they are able. Mc

this event. Skip Bennett and
Nick Lingren are pole vault
choices with Griggs, Dan Sieg,
Charley and maybe Koch in

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.

Pierce Goes Route in Chisox
4-2 Triumph Over NY Yankees
By FRED DOWN ,
United Press International
Billy Pierce and Nelson
Fox may look like batboys
but they're doing a man-sized
job making Chicago White
Sox Manager Al Lopez pre
season prediction stand up.
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
