SUNDAY, AUGUST 14, 1955 PAGE TWELVE Moore Promoted Own Fh NEW YORK NEA The International Boxing Club gets credit for promoting: the Rocky Marciano-Archie Moore pnie tight at Yankee Stadium, September 20. Actually, the most magnetic clout carnival since Sugar Ray Kobinson. bloody and battered, tame Irom behind to knock out Randy Turptn at the Polo Grounds four years ago Is strictly the product ol Archie Moore Produc tions. It tonk Moore, the old pro. to show Jim Norris and the IBC how to make a ntHtch. Now that he has made It, the Old Globe Trotter of Fistiana is ocmonMratiiig- how to sell it. To obtain the shot, Moore took the number one heavyweight con tender, Nino Valdes, to Las Vegas mid punched him around by way of making 175 pounds on the nose lor Bobo Olson. So here we have a story as anagers By Bonus Boy Blues By PAT IIAKMON NKA Special Correspondent BALTIMORE cNEA The year 1955 will be remembered in baseball for a fresh crop of bonus rookie stories. A lot of new ones have been produced, though it's doubtful if they top some of the old talcs. For Instance, there was the one about Dick Wakefield, signed by the Tigcra some 10 years ago for, the newspaper said, "150,000 and a big Cadillac." When Wakefield saw the story, Elk Hunt Draw Held A public drawing to select 300 elk hunters for the Sled Springs special elk hunt and 600 hunters for the pronghorn season was held at the Oregon Game Commission ci.'Iln In Portland last Wednesday. About 30 Interested sportsmen ' were present to view the drawings, seveTal of whom were successful. Probably the most Jubilant of the successful sportsmen present was Mr. Pred Hornshuh, Jr. of Port land, the key figure In a party of four, whose name was fourth drawn for the are III antelope hunt. The first three successful applt cants for the area III antelope hunt were W. A. Fox of Nyssa, W. A. Wilt of Maroola, and N. T. Sappier of Portland who headed a party 01 two. Antalop area I Included O. P 8ears. Portland, first name drawn, followed by G, B. Myers, Merlin, with a. party of four, and R. M, , Sawyers of Trail, Another PorHandlt. R. 'W. Bull and a party of four, was the first drawn tor area il, jonowea by c w. otter, Salem, and H. K. Ward, Beaverton, with a party of hi roe. For the Sled Springs special elk hunt, A. L. Woody heading a par ty of four from Oregon City was the first name drawn, followed by E. a. Oulzler. Portland, and J. W. Berry of Wallowa. Two hundred tags were Issued for each of the three antelope areas and 300 for the Sled Springs elk hunt. A total of 3.675 applications for the antelope hunt and 926 for the Sled Srplngs elk hunt were received this year. The public drawing was accom plished as usual by the use oi IBM machines, takes only a few minutes, and Is absolutely fool proof. Antelope hunting commences on August 27 and extends through Au gust 31. The Sled Springs elk hunt extends from August 20 through August 25.

When Vic Wertr was called Into tin.- Baltimore ollue on June 1 of lst year, he expected to be shipped to a malaria league or somewhere equally unpleasant. In 'lend Oiulielder Werta was In io'mrd that he had been kicked upstairs in Cleveland. Coach Tony Cuccinello tossed the sturdy strange as Moore himself, and the old goat with the goatee la some- tiling out of the weirdest novel ever written. It is that of Moore, :8. qualifying for the crack at the heavyweight crown v knock ing out a mediocre middleweight. Now that Moore has established training headquarters at North A'lams. Mass.. we'll be able to g've you a more detailed line on the venerable challenger. Think what he ll do now that reporters pie able to catch up with him. Before he settled down in the Berkshires, and with nobody able to lind the guy. Moore's name was in the sports pages of every news paper you picked up. Where's Archie?" we ' asked Waller Smallshaw, who minds Charley Johnston's Broadway of fice while the manager of record is fl W 8 V . "I don't know. Nobody ever knows." replied Smallshaw. "but Afflicted he phoned a sportswriler friend. "Could you get that story cor rected?" he asked. "It Isn't right. I didn't gel a big Cadillac. I Just got one of the little ones." Which brings up the newest Bal timore story. The club has admitted it made a (36.000 mistake in signing pitcher John Swango two months ago and he has been turned loose. He can never make It, opines Muuagcr Paul Richards. Swango's trouble, self-expressed, Is nervousness. "I can't warm up in front of a crowd," he apologized. They're also telling stories about Jim Brady, a 19-ycar-old pitcher signed by the Tigers this spring for (35,000. Since arriving with the club, Brady seems indifferent about his baseball future. Even Manager Bucky Harris has been unable to shake him up. Harris tried fatherly lu Ik, then tried bawling him out. Brady had a sore arm, so the club arranged for him to visit an X-ray specialist. He overslept and missed the appointment. A second appointment was made, but Brady asked to be excused "as I've made plans to go on a picnic." In Baltimore one day, the Tiger's chartered bus stopped at the hotel and picked up 15 players who had been waiting in the lobby. Brady was sitting with the 15, but missed the bus. "How come," asked a coach. 'Didn't you see all the other play- era get up and leave?" "I thought something happened out on the street and went out to see what it was." said Brady. All this however, can't touch the crack made about a Phillies' bonus baby. The kid signed for $60,000 and his unimpressed teammates named him "Money Bags." That's because one day the man ager watched the boy run out s grounder and remarked, "How could a kid that cost so much be so slow?" To which someone replied, "He can t run fast because he's carrying an uiac money with him." Cudd Slips At Chicago -,'fr CHICAGO lB Done Banders of Cedartown, Ga.. the Florida Slate Intercollegiate champion with the choked backswlng. swelled his lead despite a costly two-stroke penalty Saturday In the "World" amateur golf tourney. The 22-year-old slar from the University of Florida unwittingly signed his card of 37-3774 for the third round then Insisted there was mistake on it. Eventually it was determined Hint he had taken a bogey 5 on the 17th hole and the card had been marked a par 4 by mistake. Afler conferring with the rules committee. Sanders was charged a two-strnke penalty for certifying his wrong score. The result was a score of 77 but he still dominated the amateurs with 214, an 8-stroko lead over the field. Bruce Cudd of Portland, Ore., the lass Western Amateur tltlist, slipped to 79 for 226. and huskv Jim Tom Blair of Jefferson City. Mo., blew to an 80 and out of sec ond place for anolhcr 226.

But he sure gets in them papers and sells this light." Marciano commented on it. "What a marvelous Job he's do ing building interest in the fight." he said. "I hope he doesn't stop talking." The Rock may rest assured that Moore won't stop talking and ped dling. It took him 19 years to sell himself. Moore drew the last drop of ink out of picking his training camp. Octopus, Inc., and John ston, who was in Japan or Manila when the decision, was made, wanted Archie the Antique to go to Atlantic City or a resort near Grossmger, N. Y.. where Al Weill keeps Marciano In hiding. "It's easier for the newspaper guys to come around," the old geezer was told. So. of course. Moore picked North Adams, a beautilul ski cen ter and summer re-sort. I don't want to train near Mar ciano," he explained. "My camp would be second fiddle, and at litis stage of the game Old Archie doesn't play second fiddle to any body. The newspaper boys would drop by my place on the way to or from Marciano's camp. I would not get a lair shake. I'd be secon dary and I'm running first as usual. And I don't like the sea shore. It's too damp." Moore had a nostalgic, sentimen tal and sensible reason for picking North Adams, hardly inaccessible from a metropolitan standpoint. The fantastic bloke In the gold- lined bathrobe knocked out one Esco Greenwood in the second round there six years ago, when things weren't so good in the pay day department. He'll train in the same open air ring. Nothing like rehearsing in the proper setting," beams Archie Moore. You see, I'm Just going on lo cation."

Arix., here Saturday night. The middleweight champion, weighing lfi5, stalked Martinez for 10 rounds of the non-title fight but caught the quick-moving Martinez, 163, only oltcn enough to pile up I his winning points. j This was the first of a series of warm up bouts Olson has planned iu preparation for his November , title defense against Sugar Ray Robinson, and it literally was that for Olson. As usual he started slowly, but he worked up plenty of heat in trying to knock out Martinez in the late rounds. He shook Martinez several times but the Arizona n was clever enough to feint and box his way out. There were no knockdown but from the fiiih round it was just a question of whether Martinez would go the distance. He lacked a heavy punch to worry Olson, but to his credit tried repeatedly to mix it up with the champion on in-fighting. What saved him there was a fine right uppercut. It kept Olson from getting too free with his hooks, and gave Martinez a chance to feint clear of danger. Olson's thinning hair was unruf fled through the first three rounds but then, seeing he would have quite a chore in stopping Martinez, Olson stepped up his relentless at tack. Not until the ninth round did Olson get Martinez into serious trouble. Then a couple of hard ngnts had Martinez' tegs sagging. He recovered in time to weather that and an even more furious at tack by Olson in the final round. It was an outdoor fight, the first iu Portland in years, and it drew a crowd of 8,349. From here Olson goes back to San Francisco for a fight against Joey Giambra, Aug. 26, and then to Miami to meet Boddy Dykes, Sept. 21. He fights Robinson Nov. 4.
