May Lift Boxing Title From Moore GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (UP)— National Boxing Assn. President Floyd Stevens said today he was still "considering” lifting the light heavyweight boxing crown from Archie Moore’s graying head, but Stevens’ secretary said Moore would be stripped of his title Sunday. Stevens, who is also head of the Michigan Boxing Commission, acknowledged that Moore had first been told to defend by March 18, then by June 7 and last by July 7Moore not only will not defend, he hasn't even signed for a defense. Stevens said Moore's manager, Charley Johnston, asked for another one-week extension to negotiate terms for a defense against Tony Anthony $ New York, No. 1 challenger. I But in Detroit, Bill Matney, secretary to the Michigan commission said "as of Sunday, there isn’t any lightheavy champion according to the NBA edict” “Johnston’s wire was the same as the one Moore sent about a month and a half ago complaining that they were having trouble negotiating for a defense,” Matney said. “Johnston mentioned the International Boxing Club court action and a few other reasons.” "However. Archie was given until August to defend by the World Boxing Commission which includes Europe and Britain,” Matney said. "Definite action will be taken there. The NBA granted a final extension to July 7 and the vacating is automatic then." But Stevens seemed to feel he still had to serve a proclamation on Moore to vacate the title. "Since the seventh falls on Sunday. I may wait until Monday before mailing my decision,” he said Major League Leaders National League Player A Club G. AB R. H.

Bob Feller Again Lashes Magnates SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — Bob Feller, who fast-balled his way to fame with the Cleveland Indians, is still ignoring the “let-up” in his verbal pitches at what he thinks is wrong with the national game. Feller’s latest high hard one may have had them ducking clear across the continent in New York and Brooklyn. “I’m all in favor of any shifts which can help baseball,” the former ace pitcher said here Friday, “But I think that the announcements and publicity made by loud mouth magnates in the middle of the season is a real bush way of doing business.* * He accused these magnates of “hurting attendance at home and in the minors.” I Feller, who recently told a congressional committee investigating baseball that dub owners are "arrogant," wound up on the same target in his news conference here. “There’s only one union in baseball now,” Feller said. “And that consists of the 16 owners. You might compare them to the National Association of Manufacturers ” - Feller, here for a baseball clinic, also fired at baseball’s controversial reserve clause. “Teams now can tie up kids for their lifetime and I don’t think it is fair,” he said. “They call baseball the great American pastime but what is more un-American than tying a player to a club against his win?” He suggested that the reserve clause might be revised so that both the player and the owner would have an option to renew their contract. The ex-Cleveland great said that Jorge Pasqual, during the Mexican League raids on American talent, once offered him $120,000 a season to jump south of the border with half of the money being kept in an American bank. “But of course I turned the offer down,” he added. - Feller also indicated strong support of Happy Chandler, baseball’s second commissioner who was replaced by Ford Frick. "I liked Happy arid he was good to the players,” Feller said. When asked if he thought Frick was doing as good a job as Chandler. Feller laughed and replied: “I’H have to take the Fifth Amendment on that one.” Bressoud Is Recalled By New York Giants NEW YORK (UP) — Eddie Bressoud, a shortstop, has been f&called from the Mineapolis farm club by the New York Giants. The light-hitting but slick-fielding infielder replaces “pheenom” Andre Rodgers, who was sent to the Millers for more seasoning.

Judge Takes Irvin Appeal Under Study To Announce Ruling On Appeal Monday SOUTH BEND (UP) — Federal Judge W. Lynn Parkinson late Friday announced he will rule at' 9 a.m. Monday whether condemned killer Leslie “Mad Dog” Irvin will keep a scheduled rendezvous with death in the electric chair at Indiana State Prison that night. Parkinson delayed the ruling at the end of a one-day hearing at which Irvin's attorneys contended the 33-year-old former Evansville pipefitter did not get a fair trial when he was convicted in the slaying of W. Wesley Kerr, an Evansville service station torIrvin Was present in the courtroom when Parkinson made his decision to postpone the ruling. He appeared calm and chewed gum throughout the lengthy proceedings. His ankles were chained together as a testimonial to his prowess as an escape artist, but his hands remained free. Immediately after Parkinson’s announcement,. Irvin was whisked back to Michigan City to sweat out the weekend in his cell in death row at Indiana State Prison. He appeared confident he would receive his fourth stay of execution and earlier tola reporters ' I do not think my time is running out.’’ ’*.IMR It was the first time Irvin had left his death row cell since Feb. 18, 1956. He was convicted and sentenced at Princeton 19 months ago for the slaying of Kerr Dec. 23, 1954. Irvin also was accused of the “Chinese execution slay trig” of three members of a Henderson, Ky., family and two Evansville women during a six-month crime spree in late 1954 and, early 1955. The term "Chinese execution” came from the fact that the killer made the victims kneel with their hands behind their backs and then shot them through the back of the headIrvin’s attorneys, Theodore

Ixx-kyear Jr. and James D. Lopp, both of Evansville, attempted to convince Parkinson that Irvin’s trial at Princeton had not been impartial because the jury was prejudiced. They also contended Gibson Circuit Judge A. Dale Eby wrongfully denied a defense motion for change of venue and erred by admitting into evidence written statements in which Irvin allegedly confessed the holdup which resulted in Kerr's death. Parkinson was given a 4,700page transcript of Irvin’s original trial which he will study over the weekend before reaching a decision. i .... ....yi, Althea Gibson Wins Coveted Net Crown WIMBLEDON, England (UP) — Althea Gibson of New York realized a childhood ambition when she won the Wimbledon women’s championship by trouncing Darlene Hard of Montebello, Calif., 6-3, 6-2, with a devastating display of power tennis.
