...breaking down the Polo Grounds' gates. In the seasick-green dressing room formerly inhabited by New York's baseball Giants, Sweden's Ingemar Johansson, heavyweight champion of the world, dimpled his chin and changed into his fighting gear. The quietest place of all was the shabby, sweat-reeking quarters once foisted off on visiting baseball teams. There, minutes before he was to enter the ring, Challenger Floyd Patterson, 25, last week climbed onto the rubbing table and dozed...

...fans let out a deep-throated "BOO-OO-OO."* The players seemed to feel the same way. Nixon, a sports-page reader who knows the major leagues, made himself at home in locker room and dugout, kidded Giant First Baseman Willie McCovey about the weight he had to sweat off, posed for photographers with Negro Slugger Willie Mays...
