Archie Moore must sign by Sat urday for a defense of his light heavyweight title or be stripped of the 17d-pound crown. Na tional Boxing association Presi dent Floyd Stevens said today. The aging Moore's title was supposed to have been vacated Sunday but Stevens agreed to give the champion until Satur day to sign for a defense after a plea by Charlie Johnston, man ager of the light heavyweight king. Anthony Bout Possible Stevens said Johnston called him July 4 and "told me a bout with Tony Anthony was all but signed. He said he needed more time to tie up television details so I've made up my mind to wait until Saturday." However, Stevens pointed out that Moore won't actually have to defend his title until August 30 because he understands that was the defense deadline set by the World Boxing Commission. But the NBA president said he will stick to his demand that Moore sign for the defense by Saturday or lose the title- Ed Oldfield Leads Pros The Dalles OP) Ed Oldfield of Roseburg led professionals in the Pro-Amateur golf tourney Sunday with a 71.

Lou broke an axle in the time trials but Posedel Has No Regrets At Portland By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco IP) It's a diz zy drop from the St. Louis Car dinals to seventh-place Portland in the Pacific Coast league but Manager Bill Posedal insists that he has no regrets over mak ing the jump. Posedel changed jobs early this season,' giving up his spot as a pitching coach with the red hot Redbirds to become fresh man manager of a minor league club that was seventh ,the day he arrived and still is. "This was my first chance to manage my own team and I couldn't resist the challenge," said the deep voiced "Barnacle Bill" who starred as a right handed screwballer for the Bos ton Braves a generation ago. And he managed to smile al though Portland was fresh from dropping two straight double headers. "I put in 18 years in the ma jors and decided it was time to come home to the West coast," he added. Posedel's moment came last May 30 after Manager Bill Sweeney of the Beavers had died and the stunned club had struggled for 10 days before naming a new pilot. "When they contacted me, I talked it over with Hutch (Man ager Fred Hutchinson of the Cardinals) and Mr. Lane (Gen eral Manager Frank Lane). They said it was okay to leave if I thought I could do better elsewhere financially," Posedel said. He doesn't agree that Portland is a seventh-place outfit. "Going into that July 3 dou bleheader at Sacramento we had played even .500 ball since I took over," he said. "And I still think we can make it out of the second division tjjis year after our injuries clear up." Lew Hoad Confirms New York IW Blond Lew Hoad, Australia's two-time Wim bledon champion, confirmed to day that he was turning profes sional for $125,000 so "I can get mine while I can." "I never know what will hap pen to this back of mine," said the powerfully built Aussie, "so it is a matter of capitalizing on my ability while I have it."
