Livingston FOLLOW-UP ON ARCHIE MOORE * ' * ? 5" plug: for light heavyweight titlist Archie" ^loyre in support of his" hid for -a crack at Rocky Marciuno heavyweight championship. A Jfew ?lax,s later, I received a letter ), containing a clipping of an article kl critizing Moore, Written by George jj, Poster, sports editor of the San ? Francisco Sun-Reporter. The pap il IT lnw sincp cPHSod piililication. In his article entitled" Playing the Game," Porter stated pointedly that Moore "actually ami truth i;i-uiiy nasn i earneu uie -iibmi iu, uu"t Rocky, and is poor drawing 7 i "too nfuch of a gamble for l!.. tampion. '>< V fifT ing Alt-hit as one of the jy t. Lad poorest (economical" I; > urs ii> the history of lioxin. . nortec said'that Moore's than >vz of Sanding the title fight de - pend on two factors. First, he should defeat the leading challangers and second, the St. Louisan mus^ become a big drawing card in a large city dueh as New York, Los Angeles, PhiladelphiaTor Chicago. ' ^ ? While this Ringsider has no in| tention ef starting an -" interseetional squabble, except between Rocky and Archie, he nevertheless considers it his duty to give the matter farther airing. [ would like.to make it clear however, that this article was plan -> ned before the i6un-Repcrtev clos>ir< \v&* announced and no attempt ^ intentionally made to place the ^eStcoast scribe at a (JisacTvanYatre. In fact the Ringside is here with quoting portions, oi Porter's article. What Porter wrote follows in part.' ' Read with -rinterest the campat s : u?* * ign that light heavyweight chanv ]iinn Archie Moore is carrying on -an attempt to - get. heavyweight ^ .king Rocky Marciano to agree to a fist fight with him?It was a fine effort by a fellow, who, on ability probably should get a chance r I . , v ; ;h' Big nev I Esso j UIP 1 | |y| 01 ...will gi * EXTRfl-OCT I' < .

All the _ploa* and-appeals did TTTct" to: end 7 won't get Archie in a ring with Kcky until at least two important things happen. The first of which is: That Moore defeats the leading challengers on the heavy weigh ! totem pole, and second: That he I somehow become a ^ig drawing ' aril in a big city. PprU'i" raised two salient points ?...< I... 'SMMninw?mi <.>ul?thrboat. " , , . First of all, Moore is so much obviously superior to such heavyt weight contenders as Mine Valdez, , I>in Cockell, Bob Baker, anil Roland-La Starza, that ho- doesn't have to wip tliem to prove he rates the chance, although he has alt;i;ady beaten Valdoz. Outside of Joe Louis and Sugar Bay Robinson, what other challanger has defeated all "the top men in his division? Furthermore one needs only to I'evicw the struggle between- the leding contenders to see that M.oore is at present the only serious threat to Marciano. Andre. it will he remembered defeated Nine Valdez, the giant Cuban and leading contender who i whipped former Fzzard Charles. | Archie also trounced Jimmy Sladc. | 'the spoiler, who in turn hejit l><?n, Cockell, the colorless Briton, con- j queVer of Roland LaStnrza, New j York cutie. Bob Baker was put t" sljeep in one frame by second "Voter , Boh Sa ttc r field who- whs <-om*LedJ by Kz. Of course Charles was twin- eliminated l>v Rockv. and ; thus out; of vanning. Therefore, the picture is clear. Only MoonC has remained a solid and-cunsistant winner for the past six years.
