would not appear. On Friday,
Johnston said, Moore had told
him that he was not IN shape and
couldn't 60 through with the Parks
match. "I ordered Moore to return
to the gym and get in shape. and
told him he would be suspended If
he didn't make the fight. He said
he would, but on Saturday couldn't
find him anywhere. and this after
noon Sunday I finally found
Moore in bed and he claimed he was
i'll and was bothered by all kinds
of family trouble" Johnston said.
Col. Harvey L. Miller. chairman
of the District Boxing Commission,
said it would consider the matter
this afternoon, and If Moore has no
good reason for not fighting here
he will be suspended. Col. Miller
that the suspension, II Or
dered, will be honored not only by
all NBA States. but by New York
and Pennsylvania as well, with
which the District has a working
agreement.
