Arch . Moore
Ordered to
Defend Title
Grand Rapids, Mich. (IB
Archie Moore, growing more de
liberate in his waning years, to
day was under a new edict to
defend his title by July 7.
"If Moore fails to defend by
July 7, we will take the neces
sary measure to vacate the light
heavyweight title," Floyd Ste
vens, president of the National
Boxing Assn. and chairman of
the Michigan Boxing Commis
sion, said Monday.
"There is no chance the dead
line will be extended. If Moore
doesn't defend by June 7, he
will be suspended for 30 days.
As far as we're concerned,
Moore is signed to meet Tony
Anthony June 7 in Detroit," Ste
vens said.
Stevens latest threat of action
against Moore, a coy 41 despite
his mother's claim he is 43, came
after the ancient one signed for
another exhibition in Germany
June 2.
Only time will tell whether
Stevens' latest prodding of the
light-heavy champ will stick
anymore than the previous prods
didn't. The NBA first told
Moore to get busy on a title
fight last December when he
was being clobbered by Floyd
Patterson for the heavy title.
Then it ordered Moore to sign
by March 15 and it was an
nounced Moore would fight
Chuck Spieser April 5 in De
troit. But Moore got this post
poned to June 7 and signed a
"contract" witnessed by boxing
officials. Tony Anthony upset
the applecart by knocking out
Spieser April 5, ruining an ex
pected $200,000 gross TV-gate
fight between Moore and Spie
ser, of Detroit.
Moore by this time was in
Germany and began saying it
would take a $100,000 guaran
tee to gej him in the same ring
with anybody, and especially
Anthony, for the crown.
So Stevens, who knew Archie
still weighed in the neighbor
hood of 205 pounds, 30 over the
lightheavy limit, faced reality
and extended the deadline to
July 7.

Bear's Concern
Over Cubs Fatal
New York (IP) A mother
beaVs concern for her two cubs

tion of civilization proved fatal
Monday.
The two 25 - pound Canadian
black bear cubs somehow man
aged to squeeze through the
bars of their cage at the Prospect
Park Zoo in Brooklyn late in
the afternoon. A patrolman saw
one of the runaway balls of fur
outside the cage and the other
perched on a fence. He summon
ed reinforcements.
Eight policemen, using a las
so and a long pole, corraled the
truants and returned them to
their quarters.
In her anxiety to reach her
four-month-old offspring, the
mother, a 300-pound creature,
tried to climb down the steep
sides of a moat in the cage
After several efforts, she col
lapsed and died of a heart at
tack.

Houtteman
Traded to
Baltimore
By United Press
Art Houtteman, who pitched
only 51 innings' for the Cleve
land Indians since 1955, was
promised plenty of work today
by his new manager, Paul Rich- j
ards of the Baltimore Orioles. I
"Houtteman will be a starter j
with us," said the Orioles' boss.
"I'll have him in the bullpen o
couple of times first, though, be
cause he hasn't done much
pitching this year."
Houtteman played under Rich
ards in 1947 when Paul was
managing Buffalo in the Interna
tional league. In explaining why
the Orioles paid the Indians an
estimated $20,000 for the tall
right hander, Richards said,
"two years ago he was a real
good pitcher ... but he didn't
pitch too much with the Indians
since Herb Score came up be
cause they have all the starters
they can use and a couple of
great reliefers."
Two Other Deals
In two other major deals
Monday, the Indians signed vet
eran first baseman Eddie Rob
inson as a free agent and the
Washington Senators purchased
utility infielder Rocky Bridges
on waivers from the Cincinnati
Redlegs.
To make room for Bridges,
the Senators optioned shortstop
Lyle Luttrell to Seattle of the
Pacific Coast league, while the
Orioles sent southpaw pitcher
Don Ferrarese to Vancouver to
the same league.
A report that southpaw Har
vey Haddix of the Philadelphia
Phillies expects to be traded to
the Cincinnati Redlegs was de
scribed as an "idle rumor" by
General Manager Roy Harney of
the Phillies.

Parade
New York (IP) Vic Wertz ad
mitted today that he still feels
the paralyzing fingers of polio
but the man who made it back
farther than most make it for-i
ward still plans on "at least two
more years" of baseball.
The burly first baseman of
the Cleveland Indians was strick
en with the disease in August,
1955 and for a frightening week
could move only his head. Yet
Wertz battled back last year for
one of his finest seasons.
But his comeback, and his fast
pace this year, are even more
remarkable when you consider
that even now he lives in the
shadow of the nightmare.
"It's all right as long as the
weather is hot," he admits.
"Then I don't feel any traces of
it. But in cold weather I notice
it in my back. When it's cool,
the back stiffens up."
Enough To Finish
The fact fliat he is 32 doesn't
worry Wertz. It is, you feel as
you talk to him, the impondera
bles such as the attack which
laid him low two years ago. It
was enough to finish the career
of most.
And he played again. Vic had
lii Kocf voap in nnmo nine last
season witdh 32 while knocking
in 106 runs. Only a kidney in
fection late in the year whittled
down his batting average to .264.
This spring there was more
trouble. He was bedded a week
in the spring with influenza.
Every 45 seconds someone buys
a new Dodge - and no wonder !

Right now he is nursing a set
of sore ribs because he "picked
up a knee' while sliding into sec
ond base at Kansas City a week
ago.
Despite the aches and pains
and cold weather stiffness, Vic
is happy. He is doing what he
likes and there is added satis
faction in his current .340
batting average..
Plans To Produce
"As long as I can play well
and as long as I get a good con
tract, that's how long I plan to
be around," Wertz analyzes.
"But once I can't produce, you
can bet I'm not going to stretch
it out sitting on the bench."
Yet even then Vic won't turn
his back on the game.
"I wouldn't want to coach,"
he says. "But I would like to
maintain my interest in the
game and stay in touch as a part
time scout or something along
those lines.
"After all, he adds slowly,
"baseball has been good to me."
And he, it might be added, has
been good to and for baseball.
Inspirational figures such as Vic
Wertz don't come along very
often in any sport.
