Chicago Is Seeking Heavyweight Match CHICAGO (INS) — Chicago is’ going all out to land the proposed heavyweight championship fight between titleholder' Rocky Marciano and the light-heavyweight champ, Archie Moore. The Chicago park district Monday offered huge Soldier Field, which can seat more than 100,000 persons, for the fight. In addition, Illinois athletic commission chairman Livingstone Osborne and three powerful civic organizations have been strongly promoting Chicago to International Boxing club president James D. Norris. yJaformed sources say there is a good chance the bout will be Meld in Chicago late in September. Truman Glbson.-secretary of toe IBC, said “all of us are very high on Soldier Field as a possible site.” Meanwhile, Moore said he plans to begin training for the fight late in July. He said he would work out “somewhere in the mountains” where he can better build up his strength. The offer of Soldier Field for the fight was made by Erwip Weiner, director of special services for the Chicago park district, which controls the stadium. Los Angeles, Too LOS ANGELES (INS) — The Los Angeles Herald Express reports chances are “excellent” that heavyweight kingpin .Rocky Marciano will defend his title against Archie Moore in Los Angeles and that the announcement may be made Thursday. Promoters Cai and Eileen Eaton reportedly have guaranteed a $400,000 gate if the fight Is held in the Coliseum, which accommodates more than 100,000 spectators for football games and other events. If the fight were staged in Los Angeles, however, Moore would first have to obtain a clean bill of health from the California athletic commission. The commission suspended the aging light heavyweight champ several months ago when one of its physicians reported Moore was suffering from a heart ailment. .MAJOR aMKßican league" Cluj YSL- vy>4..
