Parade
Summit, N. J. (U.R) A secret
weight-reducing formula from
the Australian bush country was
ancient Archie Moore's greatest
weapon today as he trained for
"my biggest gamble."
The 38-year-old light heavy
weight champion isn't revealing
the sum total of his avoirdu-pois
as he prepare! for a June 22
title defense against Carl (Bobo)
Olson. But he does believe he'll
make the 175-pound limit be
cause of a weight-paring system
he learned from an Australian
aborigine.
All of which is part of his
master plan to flatten Bobo and
prove his right to a heavyweight
title go against Rocky Marciano.
Archie, as part of the buildup,
is making a great mystery of his
weight as, complete with mous
tache and Van Dyke, he goes
through his paces at his train
ing camp.
The only other mystery, in
: connection with this bout, is
whether Archie can drop down
from 196 to 175and retain his
strength and effectiveness
against the cagey and rugged
Bobo.

Financial Reason
"This secret system of mine,
which I learned from an Aus
tralian aborigine when I fought
there is 1940, will do the trick,"
Archie explained almost plac
idly. "But I have to keep it se
cret." The reason is financial.
After he beats Bobo and,
from his confidence it is to be
supposed and then . wins the
heavyweight crown from Mar
ciano, Archie is going to give
his secret to the world. For a
price. He'll write a book on his
weight reducing method.
In the interim he isn't telling
anybody anything.
"Why should I let Olson
know how much I weigh,
whether I'm having any trouble,
or whether I'm not?" Archie ex
plained. "Let him guess. That
way, I'm not helping him any."
The bout, to be held at New
York's Polo Grounds, definitely
is a gamble for Moore. He has
been clamoring for a shot at
Marciano for a long time and
losing to Olson, the middle
weight champion, would reveal
his claims as slightly preposter

Olson's Slip
May Show
On June 22
Br JACK CUDDY
Asbury Park, N.J. (U.R)
Bobo Olson's slip should be
showing beautifully on the
night of June 22 when he tries to
take the light heavyweight
crown from Archie Moore.
Middleweight ruler Olson,
one of the all-time masters of
"slip-and-hit" fighting is mak
ing the punches of his sparmates
miss him by inch-fractions now,
as he trains here at convention
hall.
And as their gloves whiz past
his ears or over his noggin, he
counters simultaneously with
left hooks to the body or short
rights to the head. Of course,
he uses a few other counters,
too.
Sparmates Henry Hooks, Ben
ny Walker and Bull Halsey have
to punch at him constantly, if
only in self defense, for Bobo
presses them relentlessly with
his bob-weave attack.
Important Part
"Yes, my defense will be an
important part of my attack
against Moore," Bobo admitted
today. "And I'm glad I'm very
sharp now in slipping straight
punches and in bobbing under
hooks. Slipping is dangerous
against a good puncher unless
you are sharp because his fists
don't miss you much when you
incline your head to either side
to avoid the punch You don't
block, you know. You keep your
hands in position to counter."
The baldish champion in the
gray summer suit and dark blue
sports shirt seemed genuinely
proud of his ability as a slipper.
He explained that he should be
an expert now at making punch
es flash over his shoulders be
cause he had been practicing for
a dozen years.
"Little Dado Marino taught
me how to slip when I was learn
ing to box back in Honolulu,"
he said. "Remember Dado? He
was flyweight champion and
very clever."
Bobo, enjoying a day off, chat
ted with reporters in the coffee
shop of the swanky Berkeley
Carteret hotel, where he has his
quarters. He was in excellent
spirits as he squared off against
a large dish of ice cream.
The king of the 160 - pound
ers said, "It's a pleasure to be
able to eat whatever you want
before a title fight and not be
concerned about your weight."
Moore, ruler of the 175-pound
class, is the one who is worried
about weight this time because
it's his title that's at stake
not Olson's. And Moore, at 38,
must pare down from the 196V
he weighed for his last fight to
175.
Olson, who weighs 171 now
and will fight at about 169, was
extremely impressive yesterday
during six rounds with his three
mates. And he appeared to be
hitting much harder than in the
past Each of the three mates
absorbed weakening punishment
from left hooks to the body.

Ward Heads
Qualifiers
San Francisco U.R) Marvin
(Bud) Ward, former national
amateur champion turned pro
fessional, was installed today as
one of the favorites to win the
55th annual National Open here
next week.
Ward took on a favorite's role
after winning medal honors in
the battle for 20 qualifying posi
tions in the San Francisco dis
trict of the open qualifying yes
terday. He posted a 36-hole total
of 69-67136.
Ward, who now is head pro
at the Peninsula Country Club
near San Francisco, was follow
ed by Bob Moore, young pro
from Fairfax, Calif., who had
a 141 on rounds of 69-72.
While several big name stars
failed to quafify in the San Fran
cisco trials, former open cham
pion Byron Nelson, Roanoke,
Texas, made it in a four-way
playoff for the final three qual
ifying spots.
Nelson had a 147 36-hole total,
as did amateurs James Wilbert,
San Francisco, and Vern Calli
son, of Sacramento, and pro
George Bruno, San Jose.
In the sudden death playoff
for the three spots, Wilbert fell
by the wayside on the first hole
by three putting, thus clearing
the way for Nelson, Callison and
Bruno.
Other name stars to make
the grade were Lawson Little,
Pebble Beach, 71-72 143; ama
teur Harvie Ward of San Fran
cisco. 73-72 145. and Philip
pines champ Celestino Tugot, of
Manila, 74-72146.
Charles, Hoi man
Battle Tonight
Cincinnati (U.R) Ex-heavyweight
champ Ezzard Charles,
performing in his home town,
is favored at 9-5 to turn the
tables on Johnny Holman of
Chicago to night in their TV
radio rematch at Music Hall.
Holman, 27, stopped 33-year-old
Charles in the ninth round
at Miami Beach on April 27.
It was a big upset. Ezzard was
then favored at 5-1.
The former champion hopes
to knock out Holman tonight
and continue his campaign for
another shot at the title. But
if Ezzard is stopped again by
the Chicago Negro's looping
rights, his friends believe he will
retire after 16 years in the

Dodgers Don't Always
Win Games Same Way
Brooklyn (U.R) At least the
Dodgers don't always win their
games the same way.
Tuesday s 4-0 decision over
Cincinnati was notable for two
reasons. It marked the first time
in 12 games that the Dodgers
failed to hit a homer. And it also
was only the second time this
season that they had scored a
shutout victory at home, al
though they have an Ebbets Field
mark of 22-5 and are 9-2 on the
current home stand.

hitter for the first blanking job

Braves 2-0 in 12 innings on

This Was Day For NY
Giants To Get Started
New York (U.R) If the
Giants are going to repeat their
1951 pennant miracle, today was
the day for them to get started.
They were 13 Vi games behind
the Dodgers. That was the most
they ever trailed in 1951.
There are two essential dif
ferences, however. First, in 1951
the Giants traujjed by that mar
gin between games of a double
header on Aug. 11. At that time
they had considerably less time
to catch up. By the same token,
at this time, the Dodgers have
more time to pull away.
The other difference is that in
1951 the Giants were in sec
ond place. Today they were down
in fourth behind the hot Cubs
and the slowly recovering
Braves.
