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

\v&* announced and no attempt
^ intentionally made to place the
^eStcoast scribe at a (JisacTvanYatre.

" , , . 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.

Cuban and leading contender who i
