lGiited Moore Boxes
Worthy Foe Tonight
lin LLOYD Gibson

Archie Moore of st. Louis, the
gifted fighter who might have been
world light heavyweight champion
tif he'd caught up with Gus Lesne-
|vich before Freddie Mills did, shows
his stuff tonight at Turner's Arena.
Moore, who also has tossed away a
couple Of chances because Of his
dislike for the gymnasium and who
lon occasion hasn't even shown up
lfor scheduled fights, boxes a 10
rounder against Lloyd Gibson In
the main event.
Moore's manager, Charley john
ston, expects to sign Moore for a
shot at Mills shortly, he says. 1t
may be. recalled that Charley's
brother, the late Jimmy Johnston,
also had Moore on the verge of
signing for a title fight a number
of times.
Despite his dislike for training
and his unpredictable moods, Moore
is a natural fighter. He's a sweet
heart of a boxer, and he slugs as
well as anybody in his weight class.
Gibson. Cincinnati product, is
no pushover, and Moore. despite all
his talent, is no hefty favorite.
Gibson has lost only once, and then
to Marcel Cerdan, now world mid
dleweight champion. He has ideas
Of his own about advancing in the
light heavy division and appears
lprimed to give Moore an argument.
Five four-round bouts are on the
supporting card: Puggy King
against Teddy Harris, Tommy But
Ter against Spike Graham, Holly
Minis against Jim Bradley, Nate
Palmer against Duck Barber and
Ben Harrison against Kid Sua. The
King Harris fight looks particularly
good. King won his last one by a
knockout. G. H.

cling in the West, often ask for
routes with low enough elevations
to be safe. Veteran amputees want
to drive their specially built cars
on trips without hitting busy high
ways and cities.
To do his job, Lowry uses a huge
commercial atlas, WPA state guide
books. literature of every state,
and ferry schedules. Highway de-
partments of every state send him
road reports twice a week. A staff
of two to 10 helps. But a good deal
of the time Lowry depends on his
own experience.
Started Touxing ut IL
In THE past 20 years, he has
driven two and a half million miles
in the United States. His touring
started at ID, when he became a
Barnum and Bailey clown, con-
tinued as he played villains in tent
shows and acted with stock COM
panies. Later he went to work for
various oil companies as service
station superintendent and site
leasing man, travelling all the time.
In the Navy in World War II, he
expedited the shipping of equip
ment. When a lotion aircraft
rescue boat 36 feet long had to be
sent overland from Quincy, Mass.
to Norfolk, Va, in time to meet
the sailing of battleship, Lowry
piloted it in 20 hours.
Most requests that come in
to Lowry's office are for in
formation on the best roads to
follow. Then come points of inter-
est along the way, hotel and cabin
accommodations and ferry sched-
ules. But recentlyan elderly school,
marin, going to Denver from New
Hampshire, wrote: my interests
are strictly in geology. natural
scenery, history and museums, not
in night clubs. Send me a route"

To reach Lowry with problem,
you just write the oil company
