Floyd Patterson. And he came
out of limbo Thursday to sign

everything and people began
jumping off the top.

Only this was a day for fat
figures. Nobody seemed con

party concerned could fight.
All they wanted to know was
which city offered the biggest
stadium, how much the fight

it be televised and for how
much and whether it would
draw more than one million
dollars.
It wasn't until it was all
over, and the two principals

Not Backing
Up Threat N
United Press International
International league base
ball players are signing con
tracts "the same as always,"
despite their threat to strike
unless they get a pension
plan, a survey by United
Press International disclosed
today.
General managers and oth
er club officials from all over
the triple-A circuit said "there
isn't a shred of evidence" to
support the slogan "no sign
for '59" which the players an
nounced they had adopted.
Not a single club official
reported that any player had
returned his contract un
signed with an explanation
that he was following instruc
tions of the league's player
committee, which is heading
the drive for the pension plan.
When appraised of the UPI
survey, James Durante, one
of the attorneys representing
the International league play
ers, said, "We have no com
ment to make at this time."

Sweden's unbeaten Johans
son, champion of Europe, said,
"I favor New York because of
the bigger gate and because
I expect 3,000 friends to come
over from Sweden and they
wouldn't want to go clear to
Colorado."
Concerning the Colorado
Springs site, D'Amato, man
ager of champion Patterson,
said: "I like that city's $500,

like the people there their
hospitality and consideration
for others."
Centennial Feature
Thayer Tutt, owner of the
plush Broadmoor Hotel at
Colorado Springs, confirmed
Thursday the offer of a $500,-
000 guarantee from a live
gate for the fight. The fight
would be a feature of the
Colorado centennial celebra
tion. Meanwhile, Patterson was
installed a 13-5 favorite, in
man-to-man betting, to beat
Johansson, despite Ingemar's
21 straight victories as a pro
fessional. It was "even mon
ey" Patterson will knock out
the Swedish challenger. The
price was 5V to 1 against
Johansson's winning on a
kayo, and 2-1 that the bout
does not last the full 15
rounds, regardless of the win
ner. Although Rosensohn has a
deadline of Sept. 30 for stag
ing the bout, he prefers the
month of June. He says he
will announce the site and
date within 30 days.

She told the judge she did

when he came for his toast

California, but it's sickening
to me," Mrs. Hicks said. She
said she didn't appreciate him
sleeping in the nude either.
And that's not all. She said
her spouse, Willie Weslin
Hicks, told her during their
