Moore Turns Over New Leaf,
Arrives EorIy, Troins Hard
BY George Huber

Sports surprise OF the week is that
Archie Moore actually Is In town
week before fight and even going
so far as to train hard for it. The
st. Louis Negro light heavyweight,
who has been chasing after Gus
Lesnevict for 10 these many years
has fought here once before. and
his fight caused mild furore.
1t was little over year ago when
Moore failed to show one Monday
night to take on George Parks. He
did arrive TWO weeks later to belt
out Parks In one round, after mean
while taking a 12-round decision
over Curtis Sheppard in Baltimore,
his opponent for next Monday night
at Grifdth Stadium.
In a hearing before the District
Boxing Commission to explain
Moore's absence, his manager, the
late Jimmy Johnston, gave a good
picture Of Moore's erratic behavior
II can't keep up with the boy"
1amented Iron Hat Jimmy. "He
won't train-he doesn't have to.
He's the greatest natural athlete
I've ever seen. He hates gym work.
Apparently all the training he needs
is nap on the afternoon Of a fight
and he'll knock out anybody"
The same thing also happened
last year in Baltimore. Archie
missed fight there, and next was
heard from in Texas.
He's here now, though, getting
ready for Sheppard next week. Rea-
son for the change? Well, there
are several. For one thing, Promoter
Goldie Ahearn wired Archie at his
San Diego, Calf, home that the
Boxing Commission was ordering
him here early, and also sent $500
expense money. 1t either was that
or put up $4,000 forfeit. Also, having
been in against Sheppard last year,
Archie knows how his opponent can
hit and wants to be in top shape.
tits fact I don's need much gym
work for a fight" he said yesterday.
"I just keep in condition and that's
all that's necessary. But this Shep-
pard knocked me down twice over in
Baltimore and there was a lot of

Holman's work had the f1uency

Joe's tennis-playing days were
spent growing up in sunbaked
little Alamogordo, N. Mex. but
once in Washington, where, like

talk about that. They said I was
given long count. I wouldn't know,
but he's bigger than I am and he
can hit"
Then, too, Archie wants to stay
in good with everybody now because
he still desires a championship fight
with Lesnevich. I've wanted to be
a champion since I started fighting
as a kid at IA. I've never quite
made it. I was No. on the list
when the title was frozen during the
war. Then we were just about to
sign for a fight last year-even had
Ebbets Field all rented-when john
ston died. I'll get him yet, though,
and I'm 100 per cent sincere when
I say I'll donate my end of the
purse to any charity If I can get
in the same ring with Lesnevich.
There's funny thing about not
being able to get Lesnevich yet.
Back in 1899 I was doing pretty
good--hadn't lost a fight for years,
it seemed. This kid Lesnevich
wanted a fight, but nobody had
ever heard of him, and my manager
told him to go out and get himself
reputation. How you like that?

FORT WORTH, Tex, June liz
Eleven years after he was pole vault
champion of the Olympic Games
but declaring that age has only

lines aiming at another Olympic
conquest.
Already he has gone IA feet 8
inches-just a quarter of an inch
under what he did in the 1886 games
and he thinks he'll make Is feet
before the year Is over. That has
been Meadows ambition since 1887
when he scared IA feet IL inches,
and he probably would have done it.
too, had not the war come along.
Out Of Action Six Years.
Meadows Is an amazing athlete.
He hadn't vaulted since 1941 when
he hied himself out to the West
Coast three weeks ago and did IA
feet 3 in the Coliseum Relays. Then
last week end he went to San
Antonio and won the South Texas
AAU title with Is feet 9. He didn't
try to go any higher; he says the
lighting was poor and he couldn't
see well enough.
Meadows will go to Los Angeles
Friday night to compete In the
Pasadena Games. There he will
meet the only vaulter who has done
better than he has this season.
Quinn Smith, of the San Francisco
olympic Club, who went IA feet 6
inches. "He will be vaulting against
me, not me against him." corrected
the rather confident former Olympic
star.
The National AAU at Lincoln,
Nebr., in July will be Earle's next
stop. After that he expects to go on
a Caribbean tour with a group of
American athletes. Then will come
the Olympic try-outs.
In Excellent Condition.
Now 81 years old but weighing the
same as he did In 1936-160 pounds
Meadows says he Is in excellent con-
dition. "I never quit training" he
explained. II just don't do anything
a track man wouldn't do. I am
stronger today and I think faster"
Meadows vaulting career was dis
rupted when he entered the service.
He didn't get out until last year.
Now he Is a teacher and assistant
