LIVINGSTON FOR THE ANP GOOD YEAR FOR TAN ATHLETES Although Floyd Patterson an ri Sugar Ray Robinson were shorn of their titles during the period, in | general, the year 1959 was success { ful for colored athletes in almost I a!! the major fields of sports. Patterson was a victim of eir | cumstances. Obviously suffering from ring rustiness, Floyd looked slow even against hand-picked, mediocre opponents and finally ! ran into trouble when he took on ! Sweden's Ingernar Johansson. On the night of June 26 in Yan i kee Stadium, Patterson lost his I prized heavyweight title to the big 1 Swede with the big rig h ! hand punch on a third round knockout 1 that stunned the boxing world. He i was leading on points until Jo hansson caught him as he was i coming out of bis familiar tortoise weave.

Later, he returned to action and stopped light heavyweight Bob Young of Brookline. Mass., in the second round of a scheduled 19 j rounder in Boston.
