WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT POSTPONED

New York, 25.

Because of bad weather the world heavyweight title fight between champion Floyd Patterson, and Sweden's Ingemar Johansson, scheduled for the Yankee Stadium here tonight has been postponed until tomorrow evening, promoter Bill Rosensohn, announced today.

It was the state of the grass in the Yankee Stadium which led to the young promoter taking this decision.

The heavy rain during the night and this morning had soaked the ground and the Stadium authorities informed the promoter that ́ten hours of sunshine would be scarcely sufficient to enable the ground to dry out.

Violent Storm

Damage caused by the fight crowd to the ground which must be perfect for haseball matches would have been considerable.

At the moment that Rosensohn announced the postponement a violent storm broke, justifying the decision.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is hardly brilliant. The forecast is sudden showers and storms for tonight and Friday. If the weather is again bad tomorrow Rosensohn could put it back until Saturday.

The

world heavyweight title bout in Septem- ber, 1955 between the then champion, Rocky Mar- clano and Archie Moore had to be postponed for a day for bad weather.—AFP,
