Johansson and his atorney, Justin Golenbock, and Machen’s manager, Sid Flaherty, and at- torney, Jack Hart, met in the judge's chambers.

The Swedish fighter is schedu- led to meet Patterson at Yankee Stadium, June 25.

KEY FIGHT

Machen, of Redding, Calif., was knocked out in the first round by Johansson at Goteborg Sweden, last Sept. 14. That victory made Johansson the No. 1 contender and enabled him te get the title shot.

Machen ‘and Fiaherty claim that Johansson agreed to a re- turn bout and that the Swede had agreed not to fight anyone be fore meeting Machen again.

Johansson said he did not sign any return bout contract. He said that was done by Edwin Ahlquist, his advisor.

Alqu who promoted the Ma- chen-J fight, said heeis not Johansson’s manager . and said further that he signed a con- tract for a return bout “under duress.””

Johansson flew to New York from his camp at Grossinger, N.Y., and returned Friday after- noon to resume training.

Patterson Drops Sparring Mate

CHATHAM, N.J. (AP)—Heavy- weight champion Floyd Patterson dropped one of his sparring par- tners again Friday as he went through another strenuous work- out in muggy weather.

Billy Tisdale, floored by a right to the jaw Thursday, went down from a thumping left hook to the ribs. This happened in his second round with the champ.

Patterson slugged it out with husky Solomon McTier of Mont- gomery, Ala., in the last two rounds of his drills. McTier, a 202-pounder, connected with both hands to Pattersons’s head but took plenty in return.

The champ defends his crown against Sweden's Ingemar Johansson at Yankee Stadium, June 25.

Lady Golfers Start Play ,

Lady golfers at Oharlottetown Golf Club got their first taste of competition on when eighteen entries participated .in the team match. f

Dow Clowater writes us more news concerning the win of the Woodstock - bred pacer, Peppy Hal, by N. D. Hal 2.05, at Lewis- ton, Maine, last week. He writes: “At Lewiston, Maine, Peppy Hal swept both heats of a $1,200 Stake event in 2.06 1-5 and 2.06 2-5, which ¢lipped one and two- fifths seconds off his former mark and makes him the fastest performer of N.D. Hal. He re- places Hal's Man 2.07 2-5, for this honor.

“It is algo quite likely that Peppy Hal, owned by Walter Davis ef Houlton, will become the first 2.05 performer for N.D. Hal. I look for Peppy Hal te go in 2.05 at Gorham Maine. In his first race at Lewiston, he went the first half of the first dash in 1.02 and a fraction, and came home in 1.04. The second dash he went to the half in 1.04 and came the last half in 1.02 and a fraction.

“He is being trained and dri- ven this season by Francis In- man.”’

At Stockholm, Sweden, on Sun- day May 2%, the otter Jamin, with Jean Riaud in the sulky, won eee biggest trotting race, the “Etlitloppet’ with the time of 1.21 1-5. The French wonder trotter will race at Roose- velt Raceway, Néw York, this summer in the $50,000 inter- national event.

O'BRIEN THIRD

At Yonkers Raceway last Sat- urday night, the feature event, a $6,000 pace, was won by Can- ny Scot, driven by Stanley Danc- er. Hundred Proof (Edmunds) was second, and Adios Express (Joe O'Brien) was third.

Canny Scot only won by a head over Hundred Proof, with Joe a close third.

Stanley Dancer is leading driv- er at Yonkers; in 182 starts, he seconds and 23 thirds. Billy Haughton has made 254 starts, with 33 firsts, 36 se- conds and 43 thirds. George Phe- lan of New Hampshire with 142 starts, was 20 times first, 25 tim- es second and 18 times third.

Our readers, no doubt, will be wondering, like ourselves, what Billy Haughton's total nimber of drives will be for the season. Last year Haughton made 833 starts, was 176 times first, 109 times second and 133 times third,
