New York (U.R) Rocky could be given the run-around,
Marciano's million-dollar fight
with Archie Moore at Yankee
Stadium on Sept. 20 may be the
heavyweight . champion's first
genuine test of greatness. .
.For more than a year, many of
the nation's outstanding sports
writers have been demanding
that Rocky defend against an
cient Archie because he alone
seemed to possess the weapons
that might dethrone the Brock
ton bruiser.
The pressure became so great
after Moore's impressive . third
round knockout over Bobo Olson
on June .22 that he no longer

and the big match was announced
Friday.
Al Weill, Marciano's manager,
greatly preferred big Bob Baker
of Pittsburgh as challenger; for
he appeared far less dangerous
than the cunning, long-armed,
hard-hitting light heavyweight
champion. But Moore, the public
demand ehallenger, had to be
accepted, instead.
Perfect Record Champ'
Marciano, who will be 31 on
Sept. 1, is the ring's first perfect-
record heavyweight champion.
But he has not been generally ac
cepted as "great" yet, despite his
48 consecutive victories and 42
knockouts as a professional.
When Rocky strives for vic
tory and "greatness" on Sept. 20,
the battle is expected to attract
a gate of at least $750,000, ac
cording to promoter Jim Norris.
Also at least $250,000 from coast-to-coast
theater-television that
will be piped in to about 100
theaters in 70 cities for perhaps
350,000 fans. Radio should bring
another $50,000. And the movies.
if good, may gross one million
dollars.
As champion, Rocky will re
ceive 40 per cent of the net re
ceipts; Moore, 20 per cent. If
Moore wins, he must give Rocky
a return title shot in February,
probably at Miami, and each will
receive 30 per cent of the net
recipts for that fight.

The ail-American match on
the famed center court, requir

ate second set rally by Mrs.
Fleitz to win the crown she pre
viously held from 1948 through
1950. .
There were times in the match
when it appeared that youth
would gain the upper hand as
Mrs. Fleitz had the veteran Miss
Brough running from corner to
corner, retrieving deep angled
drives. But in the end, it proved
a case of Miss Brough's stead
iness and superior court craft

ambidextrous smashes of the 26-year-old
Mrs. Fleitz. ,

Early Wynn
Hurls Fifth
Shutout, 1-0
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
By almost every yardstick,
burly Early Wynn measured up
Saturday as the best pitcher in
the American league perhaps
in baseball.
The Cleveland right hander
chalked up his fifth shut out in
the majors and his third in a
row Friday night, blanking the
second place White Sox, 1-0, on
six hits as Larry Doby hit a
fifth inning homer for the win
ning margin.
Tnere were these things also
to consider about Wynn. He now
has an 11-2 mark, best in the
American league and surpassed
only by Don Newcombe s 13-1
figure for Brooklyn in the Na
tional. He beats the good clubs.
In his string of shutouts prior
to Friday night he scored his
third victory of the season last
Sunday with a four-hit job
against New York..
That marked the third time
Wynn had beaten the Yankees,
more than any other pitcher.
The only club which has beaten
him is Boston with two tri
umpns. tie nas beaten every
club now including Baltimore
and Kansas City twice and Bos
ton, Washington, Chicago and
Detroit once.
.The victory over Kansas City
was achieved in ' a duel - with
lefty Billy Pierce, who suffered
his fifth defeat. It was the sixth
straight loss for the White Sox.
