The bout will take place, at the Polo Grounds in New York City. (AP WIREPHOTO) Archie Moore's Weight Problems May Be A Magnificesif Ring Hoax NEW YORK Wl-The most in triguing aspect of Wednesday night's title fight is the possibility, seemingly not loo remote, that Archie Moore has put over a fa.it one on Bobo Olson and his advis ers, having to do with the amount of weight Archie has had to shuck off to come in at the 175 pound limit. For the oast week a whisper has been rustling through local fight circles that Moore, who is known to be a slick one, didn't actually scale a bulbous 1 Ui'.'-j pounds for his twilight, victory over Nino Valdcs last May 2 in Las Vegas. All Archie actually weighed, the rumor goes, was 186'-.. It . Just Happens The promoter of the Las Vegas venture just happened to havf been one Jack (Doc Kcarns), who as Jack Dcmnsey's manager once pillaged the little city of Shelby, Mont., and who has been trying to improve upon that performance ever since. And one of those who has been most autive in spread ing the tale of Moore's weight du plicity just happens to he close to Kearns. For that reason the fight crowd is more than a little inclined to credit tho yarn. The anglo is, natch, that Olson, who still is only a heavy middle weight, was suckcrcd into the match In the belief that he would be fighting a veteran who had been forced to punish himself cruelly in melting off close to 25 pounds in a month's training. In other words, if you believe the whispers, Bobo was lured into thinking Archie would come in too weak to swing a cat with any au thority. Possible Alterations The new version, if true, alters the picture radically, and it prnb ably is significant that the odds against Olson lengthened immedi ately after the story got arourd that Kearns had his foot on the scales. If Archie really pulled onlv 186 for Valdcs, all the recent literature about his horrible sweat-' T(oJr So ! Can you conceive of anything more wonderful in this world thn a bird which can fly? Its skeleton is at once a master piece of strength, lightness and flexibility. One, the frigate bird with a wing spread of 7 feet, weighs in all but 2 pounds and of this the skeleton weighs hut 4 ounces somewhat less than Ihe feathers. THE LUNGS of a flying bird are not just single cavities as with mammals but a whole series of openings extending from the head oftentimes clear down through the hollow leg hones and out to tho wingbones. Besides, some birds have air sacs around the intes tines, muscles, and often immedi ately under the skin. Thus air per meates and aerates the entire bird. As a result, this air-condi-t'ning system expels heat from the body quickly as welt as ex cess moisture together with its main duty of exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen. To hcln kc-D its balance in the air, on the land and in the w lrtr, the flight h'rd's havy mus cles are kept at the bottom of the bird so that it will not be ton heavy. The heaviest, nfost rower, fill muscles arc those which con trol the wlm's in the nigeon thev have h"cn found 'o we'"h as much ! as half of the whole bird and.

A young robin on first leaving his nest will eat 14 feet of angleworms; a young crow will consume more than its own weight of food in a day; a flying chicadee was ob served eating 5,500 cankcrworm eggs daily for a week; and many adult birds eat well over half their own weight each day. But this machine is efficient; an albatross which has a wingspread frequently exceeding 11 feet has been known to travel 3.150 miles within nine days; a golden plover mane a z.4iiu mile overwatcr hop on two ounces of fuel! Yet these long flights can he grueling. A migrating duck will somctimecs he so exhausted on let ting down that it will splash into the water and cannot take off for hours. ALL BIRDS naturally take off against trie wind to gain air speed. Yet for some of the heavier birds, the take-off is an rxgremely la boisome operation. Some, like the wild tiirkev, need a runway in ad dition to the most furious beating of wings to get up enough speed to be airborne. Many birds maintain 1 V forma- tion during Ihcir migratory flights. But surely the most beautiful co- ominanon in movement of any thing living is the smooth flowing mass flight of some of our shore birds, such as sandpipers, plovers, and turnstones Look at the tight-ly-knit flock. There may be 1.000 small birds. At a distance they look like a puff of light smoke, blowing against the wind. In their co-ordinated flight, thev lift and dron, fold over and under, wheel and dip.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Seattle Rainiers, fresh from feasting on the San Francisco Seals for a full week, change their diet to Beavers from Portland Tuesday night and may find the chewing a little tougher. The Rainiers dined well on the Seals seven straight but the third-place Beavers look like a little stiffer opposition. Seattle, only one game behind first-place San Diego, will shoot the works in an attempt to take over the"lead. A pair of ex-major leaguers have been named for mound chores in the opener at Portland. Ewcll (The Whip) Blackwcll (1-2) will toil for the Rainiers against Royce Lint (3-5). San Diego should have easier go ing in its home park against the Sad Sacs of Sacramento. The Cap- Whitman's Bat Mark Falls Of! SAN FRANCISCO W An ane mic .217 batting average for the week has. surprisingly, boosted San Francisco's Bbb DiPietro into the top spot among Pacific Coast League batters. Dil'ielro's season average of .3iy was 10 points better than the cur rent mark of last week's leader, Portland's Dick Whitman, who dropped to second at .359. On the third rung were Earl Raop of San Diego and George (Catfish )Mct- kovictnof Oakland with .47 apiece. The rapid rise of young DcPictro actually was accomplished on a dizzy skid. A week ago he was hit ting at a .391 clip, but hadn't ac cumulated enough times at bat to figure in statistician William Weiss' calculations. This week, al though he connnected with only five base hits, his 23 times at bat were enough to push him over the hump. Rapp and Milt Smith, also of San Diego, remained in full control of other batting departments. Kapp paced the league in home runs with 19 and runs batted in with 88, while Smith's 104 hits topped the circuit. He is the only man over the 100 mark for the year. The averages: AB H HR RBI Pet.

Brenn, who was driving -a big truck-trailer as a summer job, was injured seriously when the rig jack-knifed on a curve near the Patterson Ferry crossing in South eastern Washington Saturday. A passenger, Harold Daniels, s'lt tered lesser injuries. Attendants said Brenn suffered a mild concussion, a fractured nose and a severely lacerated j scalp. His physician said the out look was favorable for Brenn, but i there was danger of infection j from the scalp injuries. Burns and Daniels were taken a ImaMtlnl at ITmntilU I It'a Saturday, then moved to the Good Samaritan Hospital at Portland Sunday night. j Brenn is a Moscow, Idaho, i youth, who transferred from Loise Junior College to Oregon. He was driving from Seattle to Boise with a truckload of scrap fish for mink feed when the truck- i ti ilcr plunged off the road. Ore. Tue., June 21, 1955 ilal City crew seemingly is des tined for a last-place finish after a surprisingly early-season spurt, but is enjoying the company of Sa'n Francisco. Tommy Heath's Seals move down to Los Angeles, where Bob Schef- fing is having as much trouble with the Angels as did his de parted predecessor. Bill Sweeney. A good series for the Seals could tumble- the Angels into seventh place and pull the San rrancis cans up a notch to sixth. The two are separated by only 1 n games Hollywood and Oakland will battle for the middle spot in the standings at Emeryville. , Oak Pitcher Paces PCL SAN FRANCISCO HI With six straight wins to his credit, Hector (Skinny) Brown of the Oakland pitching staff was the Pacific Coast League's leading pitcher in games through Sunday, the loop statistician said Tuesday. Brown replaced Gene Beardcn of San Francisco who lost three after rolling up 10 victories. Seattle's Elmer Singleton was the winningest pitcher with an 11-5 record. G BB SO W L Pet.

Major Golfers Ready Clubs PORTLAND I Some of the nation's top golfers were here Tues day for the 52nd annual Western Open championships which begin Thursday. The four-day, 72-hole tournament will have a starting field of about 175, including some of the top pros who played in last week's National Open at San Francisco and a num ber of amateurs from this area. Par for the 6,604-yard Portland Golf Club course is 72. Sammy Snead, one of the ranking favorites. bettered that by eight strokes with a sparkling 64 in his practice round Monday. Others who were on the course included Julius Boros, ex-U. S. Open champion: Carry Middlecoff. defending Masters' champion: and Gene Littler, Tournament of Cham pions titlist. Snead is familiar with the course, having played it in the 1946 PGA and as a member of U.S. Ryder Cup team which defeated the British' the following year. Lloyd Mangrum, the 1954 cham pion, will not be on hand to de fend his title. He is recuperating from a rib injury that kept him out of the National Open.
