Emil Lence, a dress manufacturer with a boxing background at the Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn where both Patterson and Jackson were developed, has taken over as an independent promoter. Lence was hand picked by Cus D'Amato, Patterson's manager after he split with the court-scarred IBC. Lence says he expects a crowd of about 25,000 to pay over to see the outdoor scrap with $125,000 already in the till from advance sales. More conservative estimates put the figure closer to $250,000, not counting the radio-TV cash. The fight, scheduled for 7 p.m.

(PDT) will be carried on NBC radio and television. In the event of rain, the show would be set back to Tuesday night. As usual, in these affairs, there is a rematch contract calling for a return in September, also at the Polo Grounds, in case Jackson should win. From the looks of Patterson in training, he has no intention of letting the fight go the limit He won't predict a knockout outright but his heavy body punching and his mental attitude points to an effort for a quick finish. Patterson, now 22, was the For 1st Place In Pony Loop By Fred McPherson The Buttercup White Sox slipped past the Optimist Orioles 4-3, Friday night at the upper high school diamond in a Santa Cruz Pony League game.

The White Sox win tied the two teams for first place with 8-6 records. The steady pitching of Al Mc-Common and a two-run first inning was all the Sox needed to tie the Orioles for first place in the race for the top spot in the Santa Cruz Pony League. Scoring twice in the opening frame on no hits the Buttercup nine took the Orioles by surprise. The losers evened the count in the top of the third at 2-2. First baseman Don McDuffee and center fielder Jim Marker collected singles in the inning.

A run in the White Sox half of the third put them ahead to stay. Jim Skinner and winning pitcher Al McCommon got bingles in the fifth to push across another tally for the White Sox. The Orioles blew several chances to score during the game although they banged out only four hits. Larry Eaton tripled in the fourth, but McCommon bore down and the Orioles didn't score. Losing chucker Dennis Cody tripled in the final inning to drive across Jim Hunt, who had singled, but McCommon got Eaton to ground to first to end the game with the tying run left on third.

McCommon fanned ten Oriole 6tickers while working five. Cody whiffed ten Sox batters in the five frames he worked. Orioles 002 000 13 Hits 002 100 14 White Sox 201 010 4 H1U uOOU uai a Batteries: Cody. McDuffee (6) and Eaton. McCommon and Wright.

Fifth place Philadelphia slipped 3'i games off the pace, losing 4-1 to the Chicago Cubs as Jim Brosnan pitched his first complete game of the season.

Buhl, now 12-6, was on his way to his second straight shutout and had extended his consecutive shutout innings to 21 until Bobby Thomson's double scored the two runs for the Giants in the ninth.

Another Milwaukee streak also ended, Red Schoendienst going hitless for the first time in 24 games. Ray Krone, ex-Brave, gave up the first three Milwaukee runs and took the loss. Purkey kept eight Cardinal hits scattered In winning his 10th and first in three decisions with St. Louis. A three-run splurge in the second inning, cost 40-year-old Murry Dickson, the loser, his five game winning streak.

Brooklyn with Gil Hodges and Carl Furillo slamming two-run homers, held a 5-0 lead over Cin cinnati until the ninth, when left hander Danny McDevitt devel oped a finger blister and left af ter walking the first batter and cutting loose two wild pitches. Three hits off Carl Erskine set up a potential big inning until Labine marched in to retire the side. Johnny Klippstein lost it for the Redlegs, who fell one percentage point behind Brooklyn.

Nobody knows what to expect from Jackson and that goes for his manager, Lippe Breidhart, and his co-trainers, Whitey Bmv stein and Freddie Brown. The Hurricane can be moody at one minute, pleasant the next. He hooks when the book says he should jab and he jabs when the purists would call for a right cross. Just to confuse the issue, he throws his patented double uppercut All the time, he flaps his arms and elbows, flailing away in a tireless attack. Only occasionally does he set himself and thrpw a heavy punch.

When the mood strikes him, the Hurricane stands and shadow box es in his corner or does a few nervous dance steps. Jackson, 25, has been "boxing" since 1952 and has appeared in 35 fights for a 29-5-1 record.
