Moore Defends Title
Against Bobo Olson
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Sports Writer
New York (U.R) In the
year's most significant fight, 38-year-old
Archie Moore will de
fend his light heavyweight
crown against middleweight
champion Carl (Bobo) Olson,
Wednesday night, and try to
clinch a September shot at the
heavyweight title.
The crowns of three divisions
are involved in the 15-round
"battle of champions" at the
Polo Grounds.
An impressive victory by
Moore, the 175-pound champ,
unquestionably would make him
the September challenger for
Rocky Marciano's heavyweight
diadem. But if ancient Archie
can't beat Olson, the 160-pound
boss, he must give up his year
long pursuit of Marciano.
Olson Title Loss
Olson, 26, is not risking his
middleweight title in the na
tionally televised and broadcast
fight. But if he wins Moore's
crown, Olson's middleweight
championship will be vacated
automatically and immediately
under New York state rules. An
elimination tournament would
be held to determine the new
160-pound champion.
A victorious Olson would not
consider challenging Marciano
for the heavy crown until 1956
because of their current weight
differences. Accordingly big Bob
Baker of Pittsburgh probably
would get the September shot.
Promoter Jim Norris expects
at least 25,000 fans and $250,
000 for the first light heavy
weight title fight ever staged in
the New York Giants' ball park.
The TV-radio contract yields an
other $100,000, although the
New York area will be blacked
out on TV within a 90-mile
radius. The ticket range is from
$5 to $30. . .
Moore Favored .
Following the fistic axion that
"a good big man can always beat
a good little man," Moore is
favored at 7Vi to 5 over Olson.
Bookies are offering 4-1 that
Archie goes the distance, but
only 2-1 that ; Bobo lasts the
route. v
Moore a well-travelled "ring
gypsy" who now lists San Diego
as his home would be a much
longer favorite were it not for
the fact he may . be handicapped
by age and. weight-making.
At 38, he is paring down from
the 196V4 pounds he weighed on
May 2 against Nino Valdes to
the light-heavy limit of 175. He
claims he will have no difficulty
because of a reducing secret he
learned from an aborigine in
Australia. -
Minnie Minoso Makes Public
Apology For Hitting Slump
New York U.R) Minnie
Minoso of the White Sox, deep
in the throes of his worst slump
ever, made a public apology to
day because, he feels "I no give
fans their money's worth this
year."
The hustling Chicago left
fielder, whose batting average
has -tailed off to .230 following
last year's brilliant .320, insists
he has let down both the fans
and White Sox.
"People pay to see me hit and
when I no hit, they got right to
say something," Minoso declar
ed. "But they don't . . . they all
very good to me ... I apologize
to them, though, because I so
bad at plate this year."
Competitive Spirit
' Despite Minoso's slump, Mana
ger Marty Marion claims., the
colorful Cuban is still a vital
cog in the White Sox' machine
because of his tremendous com
petitive spirit. Minnie . doesn't
see it that way, however.
' "If I be hitting good, like I
should, you know, we'd , win
four-five more games and be in
first place," he declared, grit
ting his teeth.
"All the time every day, I try
to keep chin up. People ask me
how I feel and I say, 'Hokay.' "
Minoso suddenly looked at his
shoes and seemed absorbed in
deep thought '
"Yes," he said, "I smile and
make believe I happy on outside,
but am sad inside . . sometimes
I feel so bad I no eat after
game."
The 30-year-old .outfielder,
whose skull was fractured when
Bob Grimm of the Yankees hit
him with a pitch on May 18,
spread his hands in a gesture of
helplessness as he talked in front
of his locker.
"I cannot understand why I
no hit," he sighed.. T f eel
strong . . .1 no play" around af
ter game ... I swing same way
as before but ball all the timefgo
to shortstop or second basemtn.
I don't know why, honest."
In spite of its hump, a buffa
lo can roll over with the ease of
a mule. Sports Afield.

Bv HAL WOOD
United Press Sports Writer
San Francisco U.R) Slend
er Jack Fleck, an unheralded
professional from Davenport, la.,
sank a curling, seven-foot putt
on the 18th green Saturday to
tie Ben Hogan for the National
Open Golf championship.
Waging an uphill battle after
Hogan already Tiad turned in an
even par 70 for a 287 total, the
32-year-old Iowan, who has
never won a major tournament,
went around in three-under-par
67 for the final round to gain the
deadlock.
Fleck's final hole birdie
threw the 55th annual renewal
of the open into an 18-hole play
off today. ,
With Hogan already in the
dressing room announcing his
retirement if he won this tour
nament, Fleck pulled off one of
the greatest upsets in the Na
tional Open since Sam Parks
won in 1935.
Needed Two Birdies
Bantam Ben looked as if he
had an unprecendented fifth
National i Open title in the bag
when it became known that
Fleck had bogeyed the 14th hole
and needed two birdies on the
last four holes to gain, a tie.
Before more than 10,000, that
joined him after Hogan com
pleted his round, Jack sank a
birdie on the 15th. He paired the
tough 603-yard 16th with a five,
and then the par four, 461-yard
17th.
Fleck's tee shot on the 18th
hooked into the rough, but he
played a recovery shot to the
green to within seven feet and
right of the pin. Fleck calmly
stroked the ball into the cup.
Hogan and Snead Watch
Among those watching were
Hogan and a disillusioned Sam
Snead, who finished in a tie for
third place with the first-day
leader Tommy Bolt. They each
had 292 totals.
Fleck had a mediocre first
round of 76 but he qualified by
shooting a 69 on the second
round.
It appeared he had shot him

But he hadn't given up and
his play under pressure this af
