H0gue Us. Moore

HOgHe Us. Moore -.
Negotiations are underway at the
present time to match Shorty
Hogue and Archie Moore in the
first indoor professional boxing
show at Calexico, according TO re-
ports from Matchmaker Pete Bu-
zukos.
And here is the background:
Moore has been banging around
professional fighting for about five
years now and has several times
been rated as one of the finest
middleweights in the business.
But Moore's trouble has been that
he was too good. The top-flight
leather tossers like Ceferino Garcia
avoided Moore like they would the
plague because the Negroes repu-
tation was one that scared the day
lights out of the boys on top.
Then Matchmaker Linn Platner
scheduled Shorty Hogue and Moore
in San Diego. Moore lost the de-
cision. but it was an unpopular one.
Some say Moore didn't try very
hard.
Moore has clamored for a re-
match with Hogue since his re-
turn from Australia where he went
undefeated on a tour OF the land
down under.
Thus far that match has not
materialiZed. But Hogue's hand is
we'll now and Moore has been ready
for two months. If Buzukos could
land the bout he would have the
best attraction seen on the Pacific
coast since Baby Arizmendi fought
Sammy Angott to a draw in Los
Angeles.

February for its annual
spring training season, ac-
cording to an announcement from
Robert w. Hatton, FL Centre mayor
who completed negotiations with
team officials Saturday.
The Padres, who have trained in
Ell Centre the past two seasons,
were especially anxious to train in
the valley again next year because
of the climatic benefits the area
offers. Hatton said, and as result
turned down an offer of $1,000 from
Palm Springs to train in Ell Centre.
Manager Cedric burst of San Die
90 Padres was through the valley
Friday and revived negotiations be-
tween Hatton and Major Lott, club
president. burst said that the sue
cess of the Padres last season could
be traced 10 the conditioning of his
athletes. who were admittedly a
month ahead of other clubs in the
league at the beginning of the year
Previous to the season in which
the Padres started training here
the Seattle Rainiers used El Centre
stadium as training quarters. Seat
tie won the pennant that year after
in last place the season
before.
burst came through El Centre
Friday on the way to the annual
baseball meeting in Atlanta, Geor-
gia, where he will attempt to secure
two pitchers to replace Dick New
some, shortstop to replace Steve
Mesner and an outfielder to re-
place Ed Stewart. Newsome went
to the Boston Red Sox, Mesner to
The Saint Louis Cardinals and Stew
