Archie Moore Wins In British Fight LONDON (UP)—Ancient Archie Moore, more annoyed by a "very rude” referee than any efforts put forth by Yolaude Pompey, may tackle Canadian heavyweight champion James J. Parker next in a possible tune-up for a heavyweight title fight Moore, somewhat weakened by the loss of 37 pounds to make the light-heavyweight limit, successfully defended his 175-pound crown Tuesday night by flooring Pompey three times in the 10th round for a technical knockout., The finish came like a whirlwind. after eight lacklustre rounds Pompey, of Trindad, was simply swept away by Moore’s power punching and before Jack Hart drew the curtains of mercy at 2:50 of the 10th, Hart, rather than Pompey, was the first person Archie spoke about when be reached his dressing room. Hart warned Moore in the second round to show some action or get thrown out of the ring. “1 thought that was very rude,” said Archie with a peal of laughter.
