^^Pp..-. sit INTHEWORL K ?T,?' AT THfe RINGSIDE * B)r Charles J. Tlnhgston AM' AtJE, M \RCIANO HEAT MOOKE Rocky Marciano soundly trounced Archie Moore tn Yankee Stadium last" week. There is no denying that'. Rut Rocky did not do the jo!) alone. He was aided and abetted by the mythical old .jnan with the hour glass-gather time. was a furious fighting man who smashed Moore with every conceivable punch.. But it must b e also noted that Archie's aging h frame lacked the stamina to wey* ther "M rrrcrn rro'jrsledge* ?ml- ^ust'inti' own attack. And.after four ? v- +Y?r?^?r fighting, it-was obvious ^ c challenger avos-fading. As th" '-.'i'ilc wore on, he became draw. '.Mil ashed and winded. M ><> < ,i t didn't have the savvy " ' '.i-- roaring, brawling fighter !:! Marciano. But he tried arid ili'i u ' iiut'in-eounlyi = ? For example, when examining phy-ucian lJr. VlhCOllt Ximtmttv inquired after the eight round end ,?? eti if Moore wanted to quit, Archie answered: "No 1 don't. If I'm going to .lost this fight, I'm going to lose it: championship style. I'm a champ nrnrmicF-I'Ihstay- in there and iighi like one." That type of fighting spirit hat as ried Moore to the heights o 1 i::.- proiesslon, kept liim from lor. ing a fight in five years, and madt hmu one of the most constantlj evaded boxers in the fist fighting business. In the meantime, how ever, the dust of age was settling in oil hint, and last week it showed up on Moore. This column was one of the firs' - to pick Moore to win. I am no a-hart"- "f-my- "hmce, f">- t re hie'galTr.riTry was more than reward ing. My disappointment lies in tht belief y\at RIoore could keep pae< - with fhC Rocky while evading ant out scoring him. This did not hap {Mill, and instead, Moore, despitt his amazing stamina, could no ward off the" ever-pressing Mar ciano, . But for the first three rounds Archie was superb. He jabbed hooked and countered beautifully making Rocky look like an ama ieur. But that was before he raj irut of jyras ami into the knockoui punch. : more to it than that however, foF"Archie did not stan< on the sideline gathering dust 01 -his own record.^The people whc boxing kept him there. It is common Woowledge that al least light heavyweight chanv pions passed off the fistic sceni without doing glove traffic wit! Aretyie. Both were reported to 1>< afraid of risking their title a the cagey Moore. This tendency to avoid Arohie was carried oyer into the he a vy we ight "ra rikl an<l not until recently did Moore convince a few heavyweight t c mum tin-ring with him, He whinW*j> 'ej)V all. what happened. The cruel"years which, the men who supervise and control boxing1 forced upon hiip Impeded- his progress and made him the victim" of a ninth round ko. < v \Hf HIF. MOORE MISSED WINNING TITLE BY WHISKER; GOT KOed INSTEAD NT:\v york? (anp) ?For a few'- fleeting moments last week Archie Moore had the world heavyweight championship he had drarined of for several years within his reach. The 38-year-old hard luck boxer j v.hWwalaShtts both San Diego, Calif., and Toledo, Ohio, as his home- I <?? !?, floored chainpion Rocky I Marciano with a bristling right" to J " j , the*'jaw in the second round o f tneir title match in Yankee Stadium, hut couldn't keep him down. u? MarciajKu,.admittedly dazed from the punch, picked himself up, staved off Archie's follow-up attack then went "on to score a bruising ninth round knockout over his courageous rival. Afterwards, Moore &?' gave tjvis reason for not knocking out Marciano: " I followed him up to quickly after knocking him down. I wasn t quile-LMfauned up and -he got away from me. I should have warmed.up a little more in the dressing room." But even in defeat Archie was magnificent. rome near t o doing what many fl3tic exwrty fel^" virtual impossibility.

Or the oldest? -ehampioti (Archie is '18) ever to ascend the ! heavyweight throne ? The <*>1.574 paying customers and the nationwide television aitdienn were stunned.
