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,

ALL BIRDS naturally take off

the take-off is an rxgremely la

As Seattle Invades Porfbii!
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.

surgery here Monday, following a
weekend highway accident.
Brenn, who was driving -a big

passenger, Harold Daniels, s'lt
tered lesser injuries.
Attendants said Brenn suffered
a mild concussion, a fractured
nose and a severely lacerated

look was favorable for Brenn, but
i there was danger of infection
