(UP) Archie Moore, the most Independent heavyweight challenger since Oene Tunney, heatedly denies reports that he wilt shift from North Ad ams, Mass., to another training camp. This is the camp I picked, and here I will stay," the 38-year-old noxer-punchor told a group of New York sports writers who vis ited him at North Adams Wednes day while en route to Wednesday night's Ezzard Charles - Hurrlcsne Jackson fight here in Syracuse. it's an open secret that officials of the International Boxing Club have been hoping Archie would shift to a camp nearer to New York City to sharpen for his 8ept. 20th title fight with Rocky Marcl- ano at Yankee Stadium. Promoter Jim N o r r 1 s wanted him to train at Atlantic City, N.J. Recent reports Indicated Moore might cooporate with the IBC and move away from the quarters he established Monday at picturesque Camp Kenwood on the Outskirts of North Adams. But Archie blasted those reports Wednesday.

Omaha 4 Sanction In U.S. CLAYTON HANNON SPORTS EDITOR Iuii nun. nc biu, nuuuuy iruin the IBC ever told me I had to train any place. Of course I knew they wanted some plane else. And my manager, Charley Johnston, asked me to make camp at Atlan tic Cliy." But Archie, a ring gypsy who has fought la most major Ameri can cities tv-i in South America and in Australia, picked the "spot I've been dreaming about ever since I had a fight In North Ad ams In 1949 with Escoe Green wood." Of all the areas he ever visited, North Adams in the Berkshire Hills was the "perfect site" for training, he explained. It's 1.300 foot altitude, Us steep slopes for roadwork, and the tang of Dine trees, birches, elms and maples was Just right lor "building up stamina." The most surprised and delltht- ed man in the United States on July 19 was Charles Kramer, man ager of the North Adams Cham ber of Commerce, when Moore telephoned from Detroit and asked If North Adams could accommo date him and his entourage while training lor Marciano. EXPENSES "It came out of a clear skv." Kramer said. "We never had a re proached Moore. And we had no idea he was even considering our cily as a site for his camp. The Chamber of Commerce and the Berkshire Hills Conference imme diately made arrangements to un derwrite expenses lor the camp. And Moore agreed that any prof Its from his sparring sessions at Glover's Arena would go to a fund lor underprivileged children." There's no luxury connected with Moore's quarters. He lives in a four room white frame cabin in Camp Kenwood a children'a camp on the shore of Windsor Lake. He eats In the camp dining room, Food Is prepared by Peter Trea nor and his wife, Nellie. During the college year they handle the cnemng in a fraternity house at nearby Williams College. Moore's independence In select ing his training spot is reminiscent of Gene Tunney's choice of Specu lator, N.Y., for his first fight with Jack Dempsey In 1926. Moreover, Moore's start this week as a stu dent aviator and his decision to lly to New York for the fight re calls Tunney's surprise flight from Speculator to Philadelphia tor the Initial Dempsey brawl. Oregon Wool Whips Gino's To Win Crown Oregon Woolen came through In the pinch Wednesday night at Con ger Field In the final game of the Klamath Falls Women's Soft ball League playoffs as they dumped Gino's 6-3 after dropping the first game 11-2 to the Motor Lodge club. The win gave the Wools the 1955 championship. Gino's won the league race with a perfect 11-0 record, but dropped two games to the Wools in the all important post-season playoffs. Last night, Gino's splurged In the opener to post their triumph as Mickey Hayman blasted out two homers for the winners and Blllle Shoemaker landed with another tour bagger. In the second game last night, Hayman and Pat Barron hooked Into a mound battle with Barron the eventual wtnner. Gino's was able to collect two hits off Barron, while the Wools could muster Just three base knocks otf the pitching of Hayman. One of the three Ore gon Woolen hits was a home run by Bev Lloyd.

Last night at the Klamath Sneed. way, the hardtoppers showed the -'u-3u uiuo ooys now to play donkev baseball, but not until they eked out a 4-3 win over the local service club. In the evening's special event, Virgil Ratliff won the Jackass Derby. As the drivers settle back Into the serious mood and return to their battle for honors on the oval, the time switch from Sunday to Friday could mean a big improve ment in the local racing picture. The lighting system at the speed way has been worked over the past few weeks and according to club president, Benny Morrison. Is In good shape for tomorrow night's races. If the program increases at all with excitement and "hotter" races, then the Basin hardtop fans should have some ot the best oval rambllngs to be found. During the past few weeks, the wei.-kly card of auto racing has been on the upsweep with outstanding driving by many of the drivers and some very hotly contested races. A full program of races Is in store for hardtop followers. The two trophy dashes will open the program with eight laps of action, thn the three 10 lap heat races will carry on their bid for the program's best race entrv. The final heat race of 10 laps and the 15 lap B-maln will fill out the middle section of Ihe program and the A-main pi 25 laps will found ,out the evening show. If time prevails, a special event will be held according to Morrison. Time trials for the evening per formance will start at 7 o'clock and the first race will get under way at 8 o'clock. Admission prices are the same as belore. $1 .for adults and- 50 cents for students. INTERNATIONAL LEAGl E Havana 8, Columbus 7 (14 Innings) Montreal 4. Butlalo 3 Rochester 3. Toronto 1 Richmond 4.

Results of the battle might leave the National Football League champs with only one quarterback. The litigation concerns the sta tus of rookie Bobby Freeman, split T flash from Auburn. If Winnipeg wins the court contest for Free man's services, the Browns. would nave oeorge Ratterman as the only quarterback on the roster, For years, Ratterman has earned his sslt as a bench-bound "substitute Graham," but now Ot to has retired. Though Graham mignt be heard from If the Judge rules for Winnipeg. Freeman signed to play with Winnipeg of the Canadian League this season. Later be switched al legiance to Cleveland. Lineman Jack Locklear, another Auburnlte, did the same thing. The draft sta tus of boih men is Involved, with Freeman and Locklear claiming they can't leave the country, Graham, who helped the Browns to two world titles, retired with the promise he would never see thr. Browns without a quarterback. A ruling in favor of Winnipeg might prompt Coach Paul Brown to send up a flare for Graham. There's no other source for even shallow, two-man depth at quar terback. Other NFL-clubs would be unlikely to sympathize with the Browns, winners of five straight division titles. The Browns own former Ken tucky All-American Babe Parilli. But he's been in the Army 18 months, is now stationed in Eu rope and isn't expected to be dis charged before the end of the year. If Winnipeg loses the court tus sle, the Browns appear set for generalship. If Winnipeg wins, the Browns are in trouble. Cross-Town Rivals Eye Water Crown SEATTLE W A cross-town battle was assured Thursday for Sunday's Gold Cup hydroplane racing classic. Miss Thriftway: Seattle entry sponsored by a Washington State grocery chain, became the third boat to qualify Wednesday after Stan Sayres' Slo-Mo-Shun IV, Se attle's three-time winner of the classic, had set a new qualifying speed mark.

Twelve boats can qualify for the race, . Slo-Mo IV, with Joe Taggert driving, flirted with the two-mile-a-mlnute mark Wednesday but fi nally settled for a qualifying time of 117.391 miles. That was a short time after orchestra leader Guy Lombardo's Tempo VII, of New York, with Danny Foster at the controls, had qualified at 116.7. The previous qualifying record of 111.6.12 miles was set by Slo-Mo V last year. Miss Thriftway made Its runs late In the day after the lake roughened. Driver Bill Muncey, Detroit, held It down to an aver age 103.846 miles. A mishap which left Such Crust ni. Detroit, owned by Jack Schafer, sinking was expected to be repaired in quick time. A propel ler blade was hurled through her hull as Walter Kade, 61, Detroit driver, bolted along.
