Managers Squabble At Inking !ft B OSCAR FBALEV P United Press 8pori Writer ' NEW YORK rUP) Rocky Mar iano snd Archie Moore are legal ly bound today to battle for the heavyweight crown at Yankee Sta dium on Sept. 20 but it would take the combined talents of Sherlock Holmes and the Mark Brothers to untangle the maneuvering in volved. The oliicial signing almost hit a snag when Al Weill, Rocky's - manager, demanded a $100,000 forfeit for a return bout. This de layed Monday's proceedings some 2 hours and 35 minutes. It must have been quite a pri vate hassle. Chronologically It went like this: Weill showed up at the commis sion offices looking like the pro verbial canary-stuffed cat. Quoth the wily Alsatian: "This tight isn't siKiied vet, and wouldn't have been unless our terms were met.' Thev had been, he smiled Moore's camp would post the bond with Promoter Jim Noma lor i return within 90 days If Man ciano loses. NEWSPAPER TALK Charley Johnston, Moore's man ager, arrived next and sputtered that he thought the demand "was all newspaper talk." Now he be- Jlevea what he reads m tne papers, "We Ihouaht it was lust talk, though even Moore knew about It," Johnston fumed. "If the Mar ciano camp isn't worried, as they claim, why are they worrying about the forfeit. It's ridiculous." Moore, trailing In nis wake, fouled up Johnston's lines, "I didn't even know about this 00,000 business," he said. j Then Julius Helfand, the chair I man of the New York Boxing Com l mission, had his say. "The signing was set for 12:30 p. m., hut I was told that Moore had been delayed In trnnslt." Moore at 12:30 was sitting In 1he nearby offices of the promot ing International Boxing Club. Rocky was in town at noon. The managerial masterminds must have been settling their differ ences In a sound proof room be cause mid town Manhattan seemed quite serene. Helfand added that he had re fused to accept the forfeit memor andum and the return bout clause as part of the contract for the fight. But he did estimate private ly that evon without commission sanction they apparently would be quite legal. ROCKY UNCONCERNED Ordinarily such maneuvering behind closed doors, and such tangled statements, might lead one to be suspect of the pending em broglto. But Rocky, the man with the most at stake, appeared quite unconcerned. He was calm and dispassionate deaptte the heat, the wait and the overplayed reports at his anger at Moore's optimistic nreeombat claims. "I was annoyed when Moore was trying to got this fight," he explained, "Ha seamed to be try- In to make people think I was afraM of nun. But rm not angry row. We'll settle this en the night of she 10th." Moors still Was making his Malms that he would win in "the greatest fight tn to years." That, of course, remains In doubt. So does what happened be fore they signed the contracts Monday. fl955 Seasons Set For Dove, Pigeon Shoot The 1955 spajon on morning doves opens one half hour before sun rise September 1 and closes at sunset on September 25 according to word received from the local U.S. Fish and Wildlife office.

The heavyweight champion has been doing a slow burn since the 38-year-old Moore, a psychology .student, tossed the gauntlet to Rocky at their contract signing ceremony yesterday afternoon. It happened when the fighters posed lor television and newsreel cameramen and were asked to make statements. Commission Chairman Julius Helfand sat be tween them. Archie, sporting a mustache and flourishing goatee, was the first to .speak. Facing- the cameras, he said: 'Rockv, !i s been a lone time and it should be a great fiiht and make us a lot of money." Then he turned to face Marclano and added: "Rocky, I do expect to win your title. " Marclano's eyebrows shot up at the unexpected thrust. After a mo ment's pause, he turned to Archie and replied: "Archie, you sure have created a lot of Interest in this fitrht. I'll be ready on Sept. 20 for the fight of my life." The confident light heavyweight king has flflid before that he ex pects to beat Rocky but the sur prising part was that he said it to his opponent's face. It usually isn't done. As a matter of fact, no one present at the ceremony in Helfand s office could ever recall any fighter ever going beyond the usual "I'll be out to do my best" statement at such an affair. Archie seldom does anything on the spur of the moment and the chances are that he deliberately planned the remark In his "war of nerves" with the heavyweight ruler.

OREGON 3 rWOft"'; Seixas Key To FOREST HILLS, N.Y. W Vic Seixas, the 32-year-old U.S. cham pion, today loomed as the key man in the defense of the Davis Cup against Australia starting Friday. Nearly everyone at the West Side Tennis Club, site of the Chal lenge Round, has conceded that Seixas will drop his two singles matches and teammate Tony Tra bert will win two. The doubles they rate a tossup. Seixas is one of the few who isn't worrying despite his horren dous record since winning the title here last September. "I'll be ready," he said before stepping on the court for another drill under the eyes of Captain Bill Talbert.

Seixas depends on being "up" rather than blowing his opponent oil the courts. His sharpness, quickness of movement and re action in attacking at the net spell success for him. Without these, he's sunk. "Everyone knows I'm the worst looking practice player in the game." he said. "That's why I'm not worrying." Talbert said Seixas had looked vastly improved while practicing at Brookline Mass., last weekend when the oaiOnal doubles were rained out. "Vio is better now than he has been in p.

CT3 E 1 1 6th & F. iKk.u Hm t Rd U.ii nn Tdbot Gives -ChiSdx Pennant, Yanks Nexir By GAVLE TALBOT NEW YORK ijPi As the seething American League race prepares to go into its final month and as the Eastern clubs open their closing foray through the West today, our choice has to be the Chicago White Sox over the Yankees ana the Indians, in that order. A flag should wave over Comiskey Park for the first time since 1919. Many Marion has done 'an out standing job of keeping the Sox "up" to this point, in the face ol some hard knocks from the base ball fates, and there Is no reason to doubt that he has a team which means to fight it out to the last duch. Casey Stengel said the other day that he didn't believe this Sox club "is going to tail off the way the others did." As of today the Sox have bat tled their two chief rivals to a standstill. They are 9-9 against the Yankees, 8-8 with the Indians. Further, they are in front of the troublesome Boston Red Sox 10-8. That Is not the record of an outfit wrhich feels itself inferior and is likely to fold in the showdown cer tain to come. Minnie Mlnoso, the club's best hitter, finally has begun to slam them into the coiners when It counts. That the Sox managed to remain in contention .during the months their leading star was bound in a painful slump is a tribute to their all-around class. Dick Donovan, out three weeks with an appendectomy, has re turned just in time to bolster Marion's already powerful pitching staff for the stretch run. In his first start since his return, Dono van ran his record to 14-4. He, MONDAY'S FIGHTS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Paolo Melis, 150, Montreal, outpointed Rinzi Nocero, 150 1 '2, Brooklyn, 10.

Hum, rt.lr.1 luM TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, lflSS Billy Pierce, Connie Johnson ar.d Virgil Trucks figure to give the Yanks and Indians something to look at in their remaining hand-to-hand clashes. Though the Yanks went West with a record of 10 victories in 11 games, this is not to be tnktn too seriously. Seven of those wins were over the Baltimore Orioles. A much better gauge of S'.engel's club is the fact that since the AM Star Game it stands only 6-12 against the three Western powers, Cleveland, Chicago and Detroil. As for the Indians, one can only believe the recent evidence that their pitching Big Three of Bob Lemon, Early Wynn and Mike Garcia finally is feeling the strain. Up to this point the club's line relief corps has been able to hold the fort, but it can't last forever in such a tight fit as this one is.
