Patterson-Johan sson Bout Is Slated For New York

‘ NEW YORK (AP)—The -guess- _game over the site ‘of the Floyd Patterson-Ingemar Johans- son heavyweight title fight ended Tuesday when promoter Bill Ros- ensohn and New York as the “The target date is June 23 for either the Yankee Stadium or the Polo Grounds,” said the 38-year- old New Yorker at a press con- ference. |

“My inclination right now is for home television. But theatre television is a possibility. New York will be blacked out in el- ther case.”

Rosensohn said a “dramatic, last-minute guarantee of $600,000 by Bill Zeckendorf and his son swung me in favor of New York City.” i

“I’m telling you frankly that 1 was all set to have the fight in Chicago until that bid was made yesterday. Ragnar Benson of Chi- cago had guaranteed me $500, 000.”’

Zeckendorf owns six New York hotels and is building another. HAS PROFIT ALREADY

With that guarantee of $600,00 gross receipts and an assuranct of at least $300,000 for television, the young promoter already was certain of a profit.

Under the terms of the contrac: announced Jan. 29, Patterson has been guaranteed $300,000 against 4 per cent of all receipts. Johnasson, Sweden’s undefeated

an champion, has been guaranteed $100,000 against 2 per cent of all receipts.

“We offered $300,000 for the fight before and I’m sure we're prepared to renew the offer,” said Tom Gallery, sports direc- tor of NBC.

“I'm confident that fight will gross at least $1,000,000," said Rosensohn. “I’m figuring on‘ at least 30,000 spectators at a top scale of $50 or more. I will an- nounce the scale of ticket prices next week.

Austria Mourns ‘Death Of Skier

VIENNA (AP6— Ski - loving Austria today,mourned the death of one of its most popular and best-known skiers, 24 - year - old Toni ‘Mark, amid demands. that international alpine ski racing be made, less ‘dangerous... -

Mark died Tuesday in hospital at Tegernsee, West Germany, without regaining consciousness after he suffered head injuries Saturday when he crashed into the crowd during an international downhill race. a

His death was the second this season in an international - ski tournament in West Germany. Last month John Semmelink, 20- year-old Canadian, was killed in the famed Kandahar race at Gar- misch Partenkirchen. Also this season, another Austrian skier was killed and several interna- tional stars seriously injured.

Mark never attained the tature of triple Olympic champion Toni Sailer or Sailer’s closest rivals. But he was a candidate for the Austrian team for the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics. He won the 1959 Austrian alpine skiing champion- ships recently at Kitzbuehel.

crown:

lf Canada gets by Russia, the rest of its games will amount to little mote than exhibitions, these observers’ figure.

Czechoslovakia, defeated 7-2 by Canada in a preliminary series game, took a temporary hold on first place Tuesday in the réund- robin finals, jumping over idle Canada and Russia with a 8-2 vic- tory over Finland.

U.S. TOPS SWEDEN

In the day’s only other game, the United States defeated Swe- den 7-1 for its first win in the finals. Sweden and Finland each have two losses and no wins.

Canada won its opener Monday against Finland 6-0.

Canada is a heavy favorite to defeat Russia teday, because of its reputation as a near-perpetual winner of the title and on the basis of -its performances in the preliminary roufids.

Canada put together an -impres-

sive offensive and defensive rec- ord in breezing through the three preliminary games. The Belle- ville, Ont.,.club outscored its op- panents 39-2 during the | early games. Russia, the only other team in the finals to win all three preliminary games, had a 24-5 scoring record. . Canada’s scoring punch shows in the scoring records, with three of the first four spots held by Canadians. Red Berenson — the tournament’s leading goal-getter with eight—and Johnny McLellan fare tied for the over-all point leadership with nine. Im there with them is Russian forward Eugeny Groschev.

Left winger Pete Conacher -cf Toronto is one point behind the three leaders.
