Right Hand
Revalation
To Marvel
- Bt NORMAN MILLER
New York -(UPD- The "mys
tery" of Ingemar Johansson's
right hand now is a revela
tion for the world to marvel
at.
"My right hand was ready,"
jubilantly gushed the , new
world heavyweight champion
following his third -round
knockout victory (over Floyd
Patterson. He held up his
right fist and looked at it ad
miringly. "I told them all I knew my
right hand - and now Floyd
Patterson knows it," he went
on exuberantly. -
For weeks during training
for his title shot, Ingemar
"never showed any observer
his right hand punch. He told
them all he did it to save his
sparring partners, but no one
believed him.
And they scoffed at the
dimple-chinned Swede and the
"mystery" punch which he
kept to himself.
It was on the basis of Jo
hansson's lack of a powerful
right hand that most training
camp observers picked Patter
on to beat him.
' "If he hit me, I don't know
it," Ingemar said in his dress
ing room after the fight, using
the present tense to denote
"the thrilling past half-hour in
which he realized his fondest
dreams.
Jab Much
"I get him two good left
hooks in the first round," the
. Swede continued. "I jab much
to see what he will do. In the
second round, after it is over,
he gives me a funny, how you
call It, dirty look. I wonder
why.
"But In the third round he
backs away from a left and
my jight catches him-straight
-a he starts back in.
"That is the fight," he
summed up with a shrug.
Rocky Marciano, the retired
champion who was standing
by. added his praise from
' "A helluva right hand " the
KQCK gruuieu.
And in Patterson's dressing
room, manager Cus D'Amato
unhesitantingly agreed.
. "There's no question now
about that mysterious right
hand of Johansson's," D'Ama
to commented.
Patterson stood by glumly
dressed in street cloths, one
hand leaning upon the Yan-;
kee Stadium cubicle ordinar-
ily occupied by Mickey Man
tle. His spirits ;we: e so
crushed that he rarely said
anything, leaving D'Amato to
handle reporters' questions.
"I think Floyd Patterson
will become the first heavy
weight in history ever to win
back t he title," D'Amato
shouted for all to hear.
During a normal year more
than six million business
enterprises in the U. S. hire
labor at some time.

By JACK CUDDY
United Press International
New York (UPD - Ingemar Jo
hansson of Sweden, who look
ed like Jack Dempsey and tied
his knockdown record in win
ning the world heavyweight
championship, i s perfectly
willing even eager - to try
it again in September if de
throned Floyd Patterson
thinks it was a fluke.
Johansson and his handlers
made that clear today even
as they celebrated his stun
ning t h i r d-round technical
knockout over Patterson at
Yankee Stadium Friday night
-in which handsome "Ingo"
tied a Dempsey mark by scor
ing seven knockdowns in one
round.
Edwin Ahlqvist, Johansson's
"advisor" from hometown
Goteborg, Sweden, said, "We
want the contracted' return
fight at Yankee Stadium be
fore 80,000 people in Septem
ber. They didn't come out to
see him at the drenched sta-
j dium last night, but now they
win. next xime.
Burly Ingemar scapegoat
of the 1952 Olympics but now
an international idol - said,
"Yes, they've seen my right
hand and so has Patterson'
Never Saw "Thunderbolt"
But Patterson actually did
n't see that right fist-that
"Goteborg thunderbolt" - ear
ly in the third round when it
exploded on his chin as part
of a left-right, one-two punch,
and dropped him to the can
vas for the first of seven elec
trifying trips.
It was the heavy, booming
right that dropped him five
times, a left hook once and a
left-right-left once.
Handsome, dimpled, brown
haired, at 26, became Swed
en's' first world champion in
any division when referee Ru
by Goldstein refused to count
over the number Patterson
the seventh time, but waved
his hands in signal that the
fight was ended, that Johan
sson had won on a technical
knockout.
The time was 2:03 of the
third round. 'It was -unbeaten
Ingemar's 22nd straight . vic
tory and 14th knockout.
The threatened with a sec
ond postponement by two
hours of rain at the stadium
Friday night, turned the 5-1
underdog into the first Euro
pean world heavyweight
champion in a quarter century-
since Italian Primo Car
nera lost the title to Maxie
Baer in 1934.
Patterson's Second Loss
Patterson, with blood flow
ing from his nose and his eyes
glazed, with , grogginess, suf
fered the second defeat and
first knockout of his career of
37 fights - and in his fifth
defense of the crown.
A return-bout contract pro
vides that Ingemar give 24-year-old
Floyd a return shot
at the title within 90 days
somewhere in the United
States. And the contract stip
ulates definitely that Johans-

Promoter Bill Rosensohn,
who estimated he lost about
$75,000 on Friday night's hard
luck bout, has Johansson un
der contract for the return
Patterson fight.
Slender, young Bill said
Saturday, "I haven't decided
where to put the return fight.
It may take me a week or so
to pick the site. .
Johansson scaled 196
pounds to Patterson's 182.
Machen Kayo Not Fluke
The amazing Swede proved
dynamically that his first
round knockout of previously
unbeaten Eddie Machen the
top contender, at Goteborg,
last Sept. 14, was not a fluke.
It was that kayo by European
champion Johansson wh;ch
won him Friday night's world
title shot.
Johansson's victory climax
ed the greatest shame-to-gloryH
story in ring history. His own
countrymen branded ' him a
coward after the 1952 Olym
pic boxing finals at Helsinki.
Ingemar was tossed out of the
ring for running and refusing
to fight in, the second round
of his bout with the late Ed
Sanders of Boston.
In t r a iiii n g for Friday
night's fight, Ingemar refused
to throw his right hand full
strength, "'because I don't
want to ' hurt my sparring
partners." Moreover, he ap
peared amateurish. But he
threw the right Friday night.
Promoter Rosensohn estim
ated the crowd at 30,000 and
the gate at $425,000.
No official, theater-TV fig
ures were announced.
Johansson was guaranteed
$100,000 against 20 per cent
of the net gate-up to $50,000
and 20 per cent of "promotion
al nets" fro mtheater-TV, ra
dio and movies.
Patterson was to receive 30
per cent of the net gate and
various percentages on a slid
ing scale, ranging up to 80
per cent, on the promotional
nets, from theater-TV, movies
and radio. -.'
Government Care
Of Aged Attacked
St. Louis - (UPD ,- A medic
charged Saturday that at
tempts by the federal govern
ment to supply hospital, sur
gical and nursing home treat
ments to persons over 65
"would open the doors to the
eventual socializing of medi
cine."
Dr. Ernest B. Howard, as
sistant executive, vice presi
dent of the American Medical
association, said the . best
health care could be achieved
"only if we continue to work
as individual to individual, as
physician to patient."
In an address before the an
nual national meeting of the
American Association of Re
tired Persons, Howard discuss
ed legislation now before the
House Ways .and Means com
mittee in Washington. This
legislation, he said, would en
title some 16 million persons
eligible for social security ben
efits to hospital, care.
But Howard said the legis
lation would be a "dangerous
and gravely harmful prece
dent" and would "inevitably
. . . reduce the quality of med
ical care." . .

Ingemar
Toasted in
Homeland
By KLAUS ULLMAN
Stockholm (UPD Sweden
toasted its greatest sports hero
today in gallons of aquavit-as-
potent a , "punch" as the
one which made Ingemar Jo
hansson the heavy weight
champion of the world.
An estimated 3000,000
Swedes stayed up all night
to hear a direct Swedish
language broadcast from New
York's Yankee Stadium - and
it wasn't long after Floyd Pat
terson went down for the last
time that everybody else in
Sweden was up. '
Crowds paraded through
the streets of Stockholm and
Goteborg . . . Fireworks soar
ed into the sky from islands
in the West Coast Archipelago
. . . Orchestras mounted on
trucks toured downtown sec
tions of Goteborg playing
rock and roll and Dixieland
music ... Bakers on their
morning runs handed out free
buns and cakes to kids '. . .
Everywhere utter strangers
kissed and hugged each other.
Biggest in Memory
It all added up to the
noisiest and biggest celebra
tion within the memory of
the oldest Swede.
"Skal . . . skal . . . skal to
Ingemar," cried crowds in res
taurants and bars which were
open all night by special po
lice permission. And "down
the hatch" went glass after
glass of aquavit-the famous
Swedish "white lightning"-a
100-proof brandy that Swedes
say makes vodka taste like
milk. 1 ,
The state-owned , radio net
work, which" frowns on box
ing and does not make direct
broadcasts of fights on
grounds that they . promote
brutality, even joined the act
with an enthusiastic report of
Johansson's triumph. It was
hardly heard, however, be
cause fans already had heard
the direct broadcast via Lux
embourg and were in the
streets celebrating.
In Johansson's native Gote
borg, enthusiasm reached a
fever pitch. The city has just
completed a 55,000-capacity
stadium and hopes to see Ingo
fight there sometime after his
return bout with Patterson in
the United States.
"This isn't a bad blowout,"
shouted one celebrant, waving
a. bottle. "But we're only prac
ticing for the day Ingo comes
home."
