3be circuseslias long been and will remain an important part of all sport promotion At the moment people of Ontario in general and of the Barrie area in particular aregettlng an education to just how large part bailyhoo plays in the boxing game Let it be kept to mind however that there is every justification for the use of ballyboo by both the circus and the boxing promoter They put on the biggestand best show they canvastemble gambling eve ing on onentght stand For promoter manager and boxer there is much to gain but there is plenty to lose Hence why should they not bend every effort to hit every potential customerand hard The Examiner has been close to the bailyhoo of the ParkerMoore scrap to that staff members hive handled allyes all the photo phic and press releases emanating from both the fight camps if writer Sam Mackncss currently on vacationis spending ahnsmans holiday as the public relationsrepresentative for both camps writing reamsof copy for distribution to newspapers all across the continent These include the James Parker story and the Archie Moore story which are being carried by The Examiner Bruno Red Favero staff photographer has takenall pictures that have been taken in either camp and these too have been appears ing in newspapers all across the continent under distribution by CanadianTress and similar news services Meanwhile thetumult and the shouting is building up to pre fight crescendo in other quarters the bestsiich blurb coming from Andy Nicderreiter of NewYork who is promotion directorof the fight He has promisedamong other things models as usherettes red carpet at the ringside where ioimal dress is to be worn by pat rons bands color parties RCMP patrols flags hunting and corsages in short Andy will rock the patronswith production never seen before in the fight game He ased that those in the press row go formal even ifhe has to provide them with soup and fish an offer which has miffed Jim Vipond of the Vipond retorts that press men count formal dress as part of theirroutinc equipment Sports writersarc taming out plenty of copy on the tight with odds of some to on Moore but no one seems to bcignoring the factors that could lead to an upset Moores age gtParkers congider able advantageln sire and reachvslongwith the knowledge that this is the chance he has been working for Ted Reevo comes up With his usual whimsy He points outthatMoores strong points are pace and rhythm and suggests thatParker could upsethla rhythm if he could learn to whistlethrough his teeth Fightcircles in New York are sulky about the whole thing still scarcely able tocredit the effrontery of Jacksolomons in staging such show right on their doorstep At first they ignored the whole thing as if it were an apparition that might go away More recently they have niggested that Moore will back out and almat fall bout with Patterson who will be readytheri But barring an accident the apparition is real It will hold no terrors for them if Moore comes through but dont lets ask themrtocven ihlnkrbl Parker Victory It could mean their coming hat in hand to Mr Solomons Possibly thellvéliestclintroversy hascentred round thejuse of the term World Heavyweight Title fight alllthe boxing associations either sidestepping it orelaiming the title is not at stake Moore himself has supplied the best answer to date by saying lm claim ing the title and whoever wantsit has to take it from me ectator orts and entertainment generally can never afford to neglcgt promotilhn and other fields tnight well take leaf from the books of the boxing and wrestling moguls Not that rowdyism can ever be condoned There were two near riots last weekend in Toronto soccer With the referee walking right out of one game The Games Arleock sebto and Duke

softball clubs operating around this area might find some explanation as to why this yearscrowds are down Tuesdays baseballgame Barrie vs Lisle produced some good ball but if you except Bowmans pitching effort and his double the action was strictly routine Mlnesing have good softball material and they are good crowd of boys maybe too good Their failure to field full team on Mon day and their willingness to accept defeat in the late stages of Wed nesdays game suggest that they need firehrand lfWen Downey had thrown his glove on the ground and stomped around bit on Wednes day when Bill

of their fielding plays and Huffmans seven walks suggested this atleast 0n the other hand more than one fielding chance got awn on Mlnesing throughlack of alertness while there was lackof spirit at theplate In contrast to this was the late surge of theBradford team against Dthlbiss on Tuesday Their cause looked just as hopeless asrthcy came up to their last turn at hat but they gave the crowd
