LONDON MAY BE TOUGHER

THAN JOHANSSON SAYS

FLOYD PATTERSON

Indianapolis, April 26. Flashy Floyd Patterson, tired of months of idleness, makes his fourth defence of the heavyweight championship at the Coliseum on Friday, heavily favoured over Britain's Brian London.

For London, the fight is a case of having everything to gain and nothing to lose. For Patterson, it's a risky business. since he is scheduled to defend the title in New York on June 25 against European heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson.

REDS FOR SECOND

TIME IN 24 HOURS

:

New York, April 26.- The Cincinnati Reds, who hadn't beaten Warren Spahn for two years, did it for the second time in 24 hours today when they scored an 11-10 victory over the Milwaukee Braves in a three-hour and 35-minute slug-feast.

The Reds won the game in the last of the ninth when Johnny Temple doubled and eventually scored on Frank Robinson's sacrifice fly. Spahn who now stands 51-17 against Cincinnati in his career, ended a threat in the seventh by striking out the side but yielded a game-tying homer to Frank Thomas in the eighth.
