THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COl BORNE, ONT. JAN. 3, 1957 Clowns Of The Boxing Ring As far as Archie Moore is con-c«Jved, he had been heavyweight champion of the world ever since Rocky Marciano retired and anybody else is "just a pretender to the throne." Plenty of fans backed up Archie's self-confidence. They had a sentimental leaning toward the pudgy-faced, shrewd-looking veteran with the bebop goatee and face-splitting smile because they felt it was about time the once-glamorous heavyweight division again had a rollicking ruler with 8 sense of humor. Archie fits in with Maxie Baer, Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom, King Levinsky, Tony Galento, Battling Siki and other screwballs of the past. But he has more talent than they had and doesn't go in for their zany activities. Yet he has his own way, and when he's around, 'whether at Epsom Downs or some musty, dusty, rundown gym, you're sure to know it. The swells at swank Epsom Downs knew it last June, for example. It was the day after Archie had belted out one Yolande Pompey at London's Harringay Arena in defense of his' light-heavy crown. Archie had heard that the Derby was to be run off, so, accompanied by trainer Cheerful Norman, a huge six-four, 250 pounder, and sparmate Clint Bacon, he hied himself off to an outfitter's shop in Convent Garden, rented top hat and swallow-tail morning coat, had his mustache and goatee trimmed, and strolled through the fashionable pavilion. Up went the lorgnettes and monocles. "A delightful day," cooed Archie as he sipped his tea regally. Not long afterward Archie journeyed to Toronto, where he disposed of James J. Parker, the inept Canadian giant. Archie was pleased as punch to perform before an appreciative crowd which Included Canada's leading social- HAPPY NEW YEAR!--Man, this Mr. 1957 in top hat and tails (okay, diapers) is the jazziest yet. I mean he's hip on this Hippy New Year bit. §o get with it, daddio, at least halfway, and play ball with this cool cat in the '57 hat, yeah, yeah. lies clad in white dinner jackets and evening gowns. Even some boxing writers wore white jackets -- provided by the promoter, of course -- but some matched the dinner jackets with brown shoes Archie was aghast. "Simply not done," he commented. The evening before, Archie, guest of honor at a reception at the plush Royal York, strolled into the banquet room clad in top hat, tails and white tie. He was as much at ease as a Duke at the Savoy. "High style goes with fighting and showmanship," explained The night he met Bobo Olson, Archie wowed the crowd at Yankee Stadium by stepping into the ring draped in an eye-catching white and gold robe. It was custom-tailored white flannel, imported from England, lined with gold satin, and trimmed with 10-carat gold braid. Designed by Archie, naturally.

SEDGEWICK, General Manager title bout with able Harold Johnson at Madison Square Garden, Archie strolled down Broadway to the Garden for the weigh-in ceremony wearing a black cowboy suit trimmed with white, a black sombrero and brightly polished, high-heeled cowboy boots. The wisp of hair, as big as a horsefly, between his lower lip and chin, and his moustache, were carefully cropped. These carefully calculated costumes, his amazing ability to shed Weight in a hurry, his extra-ordary poise and glibness, as well as his master craftsmanship in the ring combine to make the ancient gladiator a colorful fig- A natural 185 - pounder, the fortyish fighter has shed as much as 30 pounds in less than 50 days for light heavyweight title bouts, causing women the world How does he do it?" "It's a secret T learned from an aborigine in Australia," says Archie with a grin. "I'm not telling anyone about it. When I finally hang up my gloves in another ten years or so, I'll write a book, about it." When Archie trained for his important fight with Nino Valdps, the Cuban Giant, at Las Vegas last year, he travelled around with a vacuum bottle in a leather container slung over his shoulders. Occasionally he took a swig from the bottle, making sure sports writers saw him. The bottle contained nothing but beef broth, but when visiting writers hit the camp, they fell for the hokus-pokus and asked Archie what he was drinking. "It's a secret strength builder-- a kind of goose juice--that I got from the natives while I was boxing in Argentina," replied Archie. But despite all the flim-flam which Archie invents to draw attention to himself and build up gates, he never forgets for a moment to get in tip-teop shape for his fights--and he gets all her can out of his aging body. It wasn't so with handsome Maxie Baer, the "Body" of the ring. The big, curly-haired Cali-fornian never fully exploited his potential, though he did win the heavyweight championship from Primo Camera. Maxie was strictly a clown--a fun loving character whcr hated to train. Maxie loved practical jokes and he loved the dolls almost as much as himself. Even when he was training for his big moment--his crack' at Camera and the heavyweight crown-- Maxie couldn't change--It was at Asbury Park, N.J., in 1934, when Maxie almost drove his handlers mad. He was involved in several romances, and he did everything but cut a leg off to get out of training. He even faked a sprained wrist.
