SPORT BRIEFS WW Some interesting appraisals of the ParkerMoore fight either direct or implied are to be found in current issues of magazines coming out of New York gt Ring Maghzlnc top authority in the boxing world thinks enough of hfoores success the fight to name him Boxer of the Month Sports illustrated while amused at the threerlngcircus atmosphere makes an obycctive report of the fight it suggests tbatMoores punch may have lost some of its sting and even that he may have been weeary when hedrcw back in the ninth There is measure of praise for Parker in the lines So did James Parker prove that he was sports man fellow of splendid courage who refused to fall it implies too that he served useful purpose as competitor for Moore when it adds What did the fight prove it proved that aging Archie has by no means disappeared over the bill if Parker had been totally inept as some have claimed the fight would have proved nothing Timeinfagulne which can report thoroughly and objectively but too often reflects its own mood on the subject chose this time to describe everything with biting flippancy Examples James Parkorv the Saskatoon Statue ancient Jack Kearns fat Jack Solomons of Lon don the exvfishmonger determined to give the brawl some real English class and mining promoter Dave Bush talented sport with an improbable aptitude for turning penny stocks into folding money We sliall expect to see the promoters of the MoorePatterson fight described in similar terms of the fight it said he Moore carried his man for nine rounds gave the crowd its $148500 worth beforethc refereeimercifully stopped the slaughter llolly Etbier in his column Sport Static in the North Bay Nugget cititlctleSPflrkcrS board of strategy as many others have done for not sending him out slugging as Marciano had done and thus take advantage of his size However hc admits he is just secondguessing Referring to Moores statement that Parker has future in boxing Ethier disagrees offering the opinion that Parker lacks the natural physical ability to go much further in boxing andshould take his share and get out of the boxing racket while hes still ot his marbl Af thought worth considering as Dcrlyn Valley owner of the Senior Orlllia Pontiacs is in dis agreement Wilh the Community Centre Board which controls the Arena over the division of gate receipts the Board haivng decided to up their take from 25 to 30 per cen Upshot of it all may be the movmg of the entire franchise to Collingwood where Valley claims he has the promise of 25 per cent deal He claims to have paid the Arena $4000 last year and to have lost an estimated $1700on the seasons operations Should Valley go to Colilngwood there is spcth ulation as towhat would happen if another team were organized in orillia Particularly what would he the tatus of the Darrie players on the Orillia team on whom Valley claims to have first call We shall see Ted Reeve takes his usual whimsicalview of all the snide remarks about the fight coming out of New York and Montreal To the remark that the Canadian fans were taken for suckers he retorts that the top of $20 for tickets wasnt too high that every one had good time meet ing all their friends and most ofthem had another $20 anyway He adds that they got their moneys worth from watching Moores undoubted skill And finally and best he finds it very puzzling why any sympathy should be spent on the local customers by public accustomed to title encounters such as LouisPaycheck the Louis lifax Baer the Tunncydiceny or battles between such contend as Valdos
