Ray ArceI Ranks Murciuno
Among Worst Gym Fighters

have smissed the fight for any
thing.
1T was a riot" he said.
"Larkin, Of course. had every
thing going for him The
cheers and a supposedly soft
touch. Berg gave him thorough
beating. Took every one of the
10 rounds. If I'd a been Tippy's
manager. I'd a caught the first
freight out of town. :"
Walker was another horrible
sight in the gym but by choice.
He just didn't like to exert him
self. Then there was the other
side of this picture as personified
by Jack McAuliff often re-
ferred to as Jack McAwful .
a stalwart, handsome, graceful
figure in the gym.
Guys who wanted to get in
the fight game would watch Jack
and beg to buy his contract, !"
Ray said.
But the fellows who had him
were so impressed that they
wouldn't sell. Even when he
couldn't fight in the ring, they'd
tell themselves: He can't be
this bad ;. next time out and
refuse all Offers"
Willing to Second Charles.
Normally Arcel would have
been seconding Ezzard Charles
against Red Layne the other
night, but he's on a leave of alb
sence to help with a TV venture
called Saturday Night Fights.
If and when Charles fights
for the title, I'll be back with
him." Ray said, "and I'm glad
he looked so good"
(F'rom other sources, however,
it was learned that if Marciano
retains the title, he'll meet Ro-
land La Starza in New York
this fall with Charles set
back to '54 if them
When the Marciano-Walcott
fight is held May Is Rocky still
will win, in Arcel's estimation.
He likens Jersey Joe to a pro-
fessor of boxing, a sage instruc-
tor who knows what to do and
can execute all the movements
but with decreasing authority to
drive his lessons home.
"Marciano can be a great
champion" Ray said.
"He has body which can alb
sorb punishment without ill
effects because he keeps that
body clean, inside and out.
Every round against Walcott last
fall was a collision for Rocky
and he survived. You got to ad-
mire the old man but you
got to pick the young one"

CHICAGO, April 4.-"Been up
to Marciano's camp yet?" Ray
Arcel asked the other day,
shortly before the April 10 title
bout was postponed. Getting q
negative reply, he continued: !:
well, perhaps that's best. Any
way, you've seen him before.
But for anybody who hasn't
Rocky'd sure disillusion any good
ideas about him."
Arcel, who has been a trainer
of champion and near-champs
for a lifetime, rates Rocky Mar
ciano right up there with Mickey
Walker, Charley Phil Rosenberg
and Jackie (Kid) Berg among
the worst gymnasium sights of
a quarter of a century.
II won't attempt to rank
them" Ray laughed, "but Rosen-
berg and Berg might have an
edge. When Rosenberg was ban
tam champ, there never was a
day that he didn't lose his title in
the gym. He was the. most hope
less guy you ever saw.
People used to watch him
drill, then rush for the exits to
bet on the other guy And
Phil didn't look bad on purpose,
either. T can't get excited in a
GYM he told me once. Maybe
it's because there aren't any
judges around If didn't know
him, he'd a bankrupted me :. -"
Couldn't Help Berg.
Berg, the Englishman, oper-
ated for a while under Arcel's
banner and Ray recalled: 1--WE
couldn't get Sparring partners
lousy enough to make him look
good. He 'out-gymed' the worst
OF 'em.
II remember one time the
handlers of Tippy Larkin were
looking for a match that Tip
could take into his home town
Garfield, N. j. and look good
before the folks.
frankie Jacobs was managing
Berg then and he wanted to get
the Kid a couple more fights
before he retired. He offered to
fight Larkin and when Tippy's
manager was inclined to think
his man might be overmatched,
Jacobs said: Look, come on over
and watch Berg train then
make up your mind So the
Larkin mob did"
AS Arcel remembers, Larkin' S
pilot watched Berg for one
round, pulled a contract from
his pocket and handed Jacobs a
pen. 1t was a deal. Ray wouldn't

two registered bulls but somehow,
no one could ever see how, Paddy
managed to get the box stall open
and he opened the gates to the bull
pens, and all three got out safely.
So all talk of selling Paddy
stopped right then. Mr.. Green built
high fence around a small pasture
for him and the gate was kept pad
locked. Paddy was never able to
learn how to unlock that, though
he spent lot of time trying! He
seemed perfectly contented, and no
one was ever able to understand why
he had so much fun opening gates.

Paddy, Talented Horse

PADDY WAS a beautiful sorrel
horse with blazed face and four
white feet. Mr.. Green had bought
him at an auction sale for his son,
Bobby, to ride to school. Bobby fell
in love with him the minute that
he saw him, and it was plain to
everyone that Paddy felt the same
about Bobby.
But short time after Mr.. Green
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-10-15

and the cows were in the big pasture
when Mr.. Green went to milk the
next morning. Paddy was in the
same pasture, but he didn't go out.
Mr.. Green scolded Bobby for
leaving the gate open, but Bobby
insisted that he had shut it. Two
or three nights later, it happened
again. This time Mr.. Green had
brought the cows in, and he was
positive that he had shut the gate.
When it happened again few nights
later, Mr.. Green decided it must be
providers who were doing it, so he
sat up most of one night to watch,
but nothing happened. When sew
eral nights passed without the gates
being opened, he was sure it was
pranksters, and that they weren't
coming back.
Then Bobby began to notice that
other gates around the ranch were
mysteriously left open. One day
the grain bin door and the door to
the milk house were both open so
he kept watch too. Imagine his sur
prise when he caught Paddy open
ing the granary. Then he knew that
Paddy was the guilty one.
At first Bobby didn't tell his
father. He knew that he would be
very angry and would probably
want to sell Paddy. After all it was
getting to be kind of nuisance. He
kept close watch on Paddy and
whenever he caught him near gate
or door, he would rap him sharply
on the nose. Paddy would look at
him as if to say "Now why did you
do that?"
One night, however, things really
began to happen. The calves were
let in with the cows, the pigs were
let out, and the next morning things
were in such a state of confusion
that Bobby had to tell his father.
At first, Mr.. Green would hardly
believe it, but Bobby told him that
he had caught Paddy opening the
granary. Mr.. Green scratched his
head in bewilderment. He had never
heard tell of a horse doing such
things before.
"We will try tying him up,'
Bobby's father said. But Paddy
could unite a halter rope too. They
changed all the fasteners on the
gates down to the bottom but he
soon learned how to unfasten then
too. Reluctantly, Mr.. Green sale
that Paddy would have to be sold
and Bobby tearfully agreed.
Fate, however, took hand. On
night the big barn caught fire
Paddy was in box stall, and tn
only other animals in the barn wer
