Sweden's Ingemar Johansson Suntanned and completely at ease the dethroned heavyweight champion told newsmen on his arrival from New York he thought he would have a fair chance to beat Floyd Patterson in their third fight The handsome 27-year-old boxer said he was "not at all dissatisfied" with last week's bout in which he was knocked out by Patterson's left hook in the fifth round his native country in the near future Goteborg city officials recently ruled that Jobansson must pay income taxes in Sweden refusing to recognize his emigration to Switzerland Swedish taxes are high Swiss taxes among the lowest in Europe When reporters asked about his Own fighting Ingemar said "I thought I was quite good in the beginning But I was slow too slow during the entire match And in the second round (when he hit Patterson with a stiff right hand) I didn't shake him enough at least not so much as I wanted to" Johansson denied that he planned to take an extensive medical checkup because of his knockout "I feel perfectly all right" he said times I'll have more to work with' Johansson did not elaborate when he said his next fight would be "my last my absolutely last one" According to estimates of Johansson's purse from the actual fight gate theater television radio and Movies he will get almost $650000 for the June 20 bout in New York Ingemar said the third fight with Patterson might be staged "somewhere on the West Coast probably Los Angeles maybe in October maybe in November may be later Nothing has been set definitely" The rematch contracts call for a third fight within 120 days of June 20 Johansson said he did not plan to return to Sweden I von't say it was fun (to lose)" he said "but next time I will know more about Patterson than the last two ta Observer Sports Editor Accurate Ann Miahty Valuable Sponge Absorbs Gentile's Swing "WE ALWAYS looked for power and speed of course but that arm was important You can't go far in the ma jor leagues unless you can throw that ball accurately" says George Scherger who managed ten years for the Dodgers in the minors Scherger now living in Charlotte had some 15 years in baseball behind him when he left the game "Bob Cerv of the Yankees can hit that ball but he makes a lot of bad throws" continues Scherger "and I noticed the other day that a wild throw to the plate by Bob Allison cost Washington a game You really have to be able to peg true up there" Although he doesn't go to many games now George still follows the sport the Orioles and Dodgers lie managed Jim Gentile and Larry Sherry at Santa Barbara and he had Roger Craig Stan Williams and Norm Sherry at Newport News Gentile is one of his favorites The Baltimore first baseman now leading the American League in hitting came to his aid once when George ran out of pitchers and did a fine job "Jim is a real slugger" says Scherger "Ile whips that bat so hard that they have to tape a sponge on his back to absorb some of the recoil when it comes all the way around and hits him" Speedway Slates October 400-Miler "Southern z00" and 'Rebel 300" omitobal viliP milP A 5 4 Po'avi A 1(11 kik I 1 i 4-Nit Si 0 '11'11" ::::::::::::::::::::4 A) 4 70ro

hard to get him off that mound" Seherger started playing in 1940 as a second base man with Superior (Wisc) then Olean (NY) under crusty Jake Pitler Then it was Kingsport (Tenn) before three years in the Army After a post-war hitch at Dan 't tile (Ill) of the Three-Eye League the Dodgers decided he'dmake a good manager Starting in 1947 at Kingston (NY) his tours of managerial duty carried him to

sports car event will be added in 1961 The "World 600" drew the largest crowd to Charlotte in history Accurate attendance is still unknown Estimates ranged from 78000 to a more likely total somewhere between 50- 000 and 60000 Track conditions were not A-I for the 1Vorld 600 But Speedway officials said that "everything will he finished" for the National 400 That means a new and improved track

minor league operations and George has high regard for him as an executive When Fresco was a manager one of his pet peeves was the daily detailed report to Branch Rickey who demanded a specif le analysis of a young player's strong and weak points of one youngster Fresco wrote: 'This boy is slid low Ile doesn't have enough stuff to be wild high" And to a youngster vi ho complained he was "hitting under the ball" Fresco advised: "Sonny get you a pair of of platform innersoles for your shoes" With those 27 Dodger clubs training at Vero Reach it was a survival of the fittest But Fresco Fuzzy Bavasi Wid Matthews Al Campanis and all the rest worked hard and gave a player every chance in the world to make good" says George There he knew Ray Perry Max Macon and Ray Hathaway (all Sally League managers now) plus a fellow named Walt Alston "We had a hard daily master schedule to follow" recalls George "They demanded improvement daily and you had to work on a player until you cured a fault Mr Rickey was a great believer in morninr workouts during the season too saying the worst thing about night baseball was the leisure time it gave a play er in the daytime" It was at kero Beach that George knew Frenchy Bordagaray later suspended for 60 days for clearing his throat overtly in the face of a Sally League umpire at Creenville "I deserved something" groaned Frenchy but this is more than I expectorated" JOE WILIIILM Wilhelm Set To Supervise Jr Keglers Joe Wilhelm who's quite a bowler in his own right will di rect proceedings in the Observer's junior bowling tournament which
