(AP. Wirephoto) tired undefeated, and Patterson had knocked him out or decisively defeated him, the current champion would have been accepted without question instead of being rated a second rater at best who ascended to the throne as the best of a poor lot-. I So he has to prove himself by whipping every man who even re-j motely resembles a heavyweight fighter. When and if he does that there will be the skeptical who will still ask: "Whom did he lick?" He has the disadvantage of being unimpressive in size, and unexciting as a performer. He doesn't have Marciano's lethal punch and drive.

He doesn't have the impressive stature of Joe Louis, or Louis' shuffling, menacing man ner. He isn the colorful playboy type of Max Basr. He may be, as his manager, Cus D'Amato claims, one of the greatest fighters who ever lived. But as a result of his manner of ascending to the tide and the dearth of top-grade competition he will have a hard time convincing anyone. For the sake of the heavyweight class, and fight game in general, we hope Monday fight is a rous-er.

Twelve White Sox went to bat in the big inning for four sin gles, two doubles, and- a two-run homer by Jim Rivera. The young high' school grad also walked two batters.

Chicago added another pair in the fifth off Miller and three more in the 'eighth on Walt Dropo's three-run homer off Wibner (Vinegar Bend) Mizell. Mystified by the 'fine southpaw pitching of 17-year-old Jim Der-rington, the Cardinals finally broke into the scoring column with two in. the seventh. St. Louis picked up another pair in the ninth off Bill Fischer who worked the last two innings.

Garfield Cardinals' 9. Eon'gview Phillies 6 Midwest Jill- Schoendienst Moves Up in New York, July 22 (AP) Ihe Milwaukee Braves have litde reason to regret the June 15 trade that brought Ked bchoen-dienst to their midst. With a 19- game hitting streak, the 33-year-old second baseman currently is one of the National League most el- techve batsmen. Schoendienst, with a lifetime big league mark of .290 and a plus average in five of his last six seasons, is within three games ot the seasons high for consecutive games jointly held by WallyMoon of the St. Louis Cards and Hector Lopez of the Kansas City A's.

Moon's 22 game skein was snapped on June 1 and Lopez on July 17. Schoendienst's streak has boost ed his year's percentage to .314. Since his acquisition from the New York Giants in exchange for Bobby Thomson, Danny O'Con-hell and Ray Crone, Schoendienst has hit at a .328 clip. During the same span, Thomson has batted 267, Connell .283 and Crone, a righthanded pitcher, has won one game and lost two. The Braves' switch hitter, how ever, has a long ways to go to challenge the batting lead held by teammate Hank Aaron.

Aaron took over the lead from Stan Mus-ial of St. Louis last Tuesday and was sidelined with a leg injury the following night. Except for a pinch-hitring effort Sunday, Hank has remained idle and with a .552 average, he holds a 12 point margin over Musial. Fondy Holds Third i Dee Fondy of Pittsburgh remained in third place at .329. He's followed by Dick Groat, also of the Pirates, with .326, Willie Mays of the Giants .321 and George Crowe of Cincinnati and Frank Thomas of Pittsburgh with .315 apiece.

Mavs climbed from 10th place on a 16 point gain. In. the American batting competition still is close bet- tween Ted Williams of Boston, a four-time champion, and the New York Yankees' Mickey Mantle, last year head man. Williams leads bv one point .361 to .360. The Red Sox' slugger held an 11 point edge Saturday but he went hitless in four trips'against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday while Mantle naa three safeties in five trips against Cleveland.

Williams walloped a pair of home runs in last week's games, giving him 27 for the season. Mantle had only one and is sec ond with 25. Bill Skowron of the Yanks, on the strength of two home runs- one with the bases filled and the other a three-run blow, took over the circuit's runs batted in lead with 67. He's followed by Wash ington's Roy Sievers with 66 and Mantle with 65. Aaron, despite his absence from the lineup, held on to the Nation al League lead with 11 homers ana 78 runs batted in.

Bell i i weignea istw, Courchesne By Whitney Martin Of The -Associated Press New York, July 22 (AP) With all the furore over the hot National League race and the prospect of franchise shifts; the fact there will be a heavyweight championship prizefight at the Polo Grounds next Monday night has been pretty much ignored. There was a time when such a fight practically crowded everything else off the sports pages, with interest reaching a fever peak as the big day neared. Feature writers from the news side would descend on the camps to probe the intimate details of the private lives of the warriors. What the champion had for breaktast be came vital news, and if the chal lenger cleared his throat there was a bulletin to the effect he was threatened with pneumonia.

Yet here are Floyd Patterson and Hurricane Jackson practically coming in bv the back door under cover of darkness as far as pub licity is concerned, and there probably are many citizens who could- tell you which man is the champion. There are others who know, but refuse to accept Patterson as a real champion.
