WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
By FRANCIS STANN

was uncomfortable in midtown New York
under the curious eyes of the sidewalk ex-
pertS and the walters and cooks hanging
out Of Leone'S windows. At any rate, Giulio
promptly requested and was granted per-
mission to return to Villagio Italia for the
rest Of his conditioning program.
y *&
ALTHOUGH HE SPEAKS little English,
Giulio managed to explain that he started
as street fighter in his native Anzio, lost
most of his boyhood friends as a result, and
turned to boxing because he was uneducated
and wanted to make something Of him
self. Talking to him, one is inclined to
notice that Giulio has an extremely pointed
chin but his manager, Proietti waved aside
any suggestion that it might also be fragile.
"Only once was he stopped" Proietti
related, "and that was by freakiSh hap
pening. In July, 1859, he was fighting
Rocco Mazzola in Rome and when the bell
rang they rushed at each other and cracked
their heads together. Both fighters were
hurt but the referee, he saw that Guilio
was bloodier and awarded Mazzola tech
nical knockout"
Rinaldi lost one other bout that year,
his fifth and last defeat in 80 professional
fights, but early in March, 1860, he knocked
out Sante Amonti in one round to win the
Italian light-heavy title. Since then, Giulio
has won eight more in a row, all by
decision.
Three of his victims were Americans in
Rome, including Moore. Sonny Ray and
Freddie Mack were the others but the win
over Archie was the Springboard to tomor-
rows match for the crown.
**
THERE is NEVER any way of knowing,
when Archie is involved, whether these
non-title affairs bear any significance. The
unique old guy sometimes balloons to 210
pounds or so and fights This weight being
on middleweight'S frame, really, Archie
is inclined to look like one of those inflated
rubber horses that kids take to the seashore.
Moore was, of course, far over the
weight limit for Ight-heavies when he en-
gagged Rinaldi in Rome and it even has been
reported that he forfeited some money be-
cause of the extra avoirdupois. But tomor-
row he'll be defending that part of the title
which isn't owned by Harold Johnson and
in all probability this will be leaner and
more serious Mongoose (his own name for
himSelG.
Somehow or other, Archie still seems
to be able to get himself "up" for fight,
even after listed 212 bouts over 26-year
stretch. His primary incentive, naturally,
is money and, win, lose or draw, Archie will
be handsomely rewarded tomorrow. Far
more so than Rinaldi, who may find himself
learning, first hand, how this implausible
old codger operates.

Return of the Monqoose

IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
tomorrow night one of the sports wonders
Of the age, Archie Moore, lays on the line
what's left Of his light heavyweight cham
pionShip. He is At, according to his mothers
records, and he was fighting professionally
when his opponent, Giulio Rinaldi, still was
in cradle.
Very few top-flight athletes in any field
are active at At (although Archie, tongue
in cheek, cuts his years to 4N. Johnny
Longden, the Jockey, and Sam Snead come
most readily to mind as belonging in the
same class with Moore, although neither
performs in an out-and-out contact pas
time.
Normally, boxing commissions would
hesitate or refuse to license fighter of
the Mongoose's years but Archie is rec
ognized physiological freak. A pugilist
who retains fragment of title recognition,
and who has successfully defended nine
times in as many years, hardly can be ruled
out of the ring. Especially when all six Of
the last challengers were knocked out.
True, Archie hasn't defended for %
months-his longest layoff-or does he take
a punch too well any more. He's been on
the floor few times, notably against Yvon
Durelle in SO, but he's still been getting up.
And in Rinaldi, the 26-year-old Italian
champion making his United States debut,
the Ancient One isn't facing much of
hitter.
IN NEW YORK LAST WEEK, afternoon
Strollers downtown and visitors up for the
Belmont Stakes found Rinaldi on con-
venient display. The Garden people had
brought him from his summer resort camp,
Villagio Italia, some 125 miles from Man
haitian, and put him in training ring
erected in parking area adjoining Leones
restaurant on West rty-eighth street.
Following the standard European script,
Manager trainer Luigi Proietti climbed into
the ring Rinaldi and three sparring part
ners following. While spectators watched
in bewilderment, as if looking at blood
less battle royal, the fighters simultaneously
shadow-boxed, hooking, jabbing, throwing
their right hands and snorting, their shoes
on the Squeaky resin canvas making noise
like ViScount warming up its engines.
When the ring was cleared of all except
Rlnaldi and one sparring partner at time,
there still wasn't much of a line to be OBJ
tanned on Giulio. He is a reasonably good
looking guy, bright-eyed and apparently
fast with his hands and feet for a 175-
FOUNDER. 1t wasn't much of workout this
day, being somewhat on the order of those
