THE BIG FIGHT

Stockholm, June 23. Floyd Patterson's knockout of Sweden's Ingemar Johansson on Monday night killed a Swedish radio listener who followed a direct broadcast of the title fight.

Like a million other Swedes, gardener John Larsson, 49, of Maal in North Sweden had sat down by his radio set in the early morning hours to follow the direct broadcast from New York.

When the fight reached Its climax in the fifth round as Patterson's vicious left books cut down the Swede, the excitement · apparently became too much for Larsson, /

He crumpled beside his radio, dead from a heart stroke.

Larsson, who was not an avid boxing fan, had been ill for some time and had just returned from hospital-AP.
