I HAVE MY SAY
ARCHIE'S SILENT PARTNER WANTS NEUTRAL REFEREE AT HARRINGAY ON JUNE 5 JUNE 5
By HARRY CARPENTER
Charley Johnston, Archie Moore's manager, who so far has been a silent partner in the firm of Moore Pronouncements Unlimited, is about to speak up.
What he has to say to us is this: "We feel that in the interests of fair play and all that sort of thing, it would be a jolly fine ides if my Archie and your Yolande Pompey performed in front of a neutral referee at Harringay on June 5."
Or words to that effect.
The actual effusion was drawn up by Johnston in Room 534 at the Mayfair Hotel, London, the other night, put into a letter, and addressed to the British Boxing Board of Control.

Barrett Can Aid British Victory
Says ERIC NICHOLLS
Bobby Wilson is out, John Barrett is in. These are the only changes in Britain's Davis Cup team which meets Chile at Bristol on May 31, June 1 and 2.
So Barrett, the former Cambridge University captain, gets his first Davis Cup match at 25.
It is in many ways unfortunate that sickness prevented Wilson making the trip to Belgrade. He lost the chance of consolidating his position in the team.

**Once again we welcome a team of basketball players to the Spot of Honour at the Top of the Sports Farade. The reputation of 56 Coy RASC has, of course, stretched far beyond the borders of the Colony and while they have had many brilliant successes I am sure their recent victory over 1st Bn Northamptonshire Regiment in the final of the Major Units Championship gave them a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction.

The Waggoners were, however, beaten in a friendly game not long ago by their arch rivals the Hongkong Chinese Training Unit and it has now been, suggested that, as the two teams have won the respective sections of the Championship competition, a challenge match should be arranged between them.

OLD MOORE'S SLIM' SECRET?.
IT IS IN THE TIN!
By GEORGE WHITING
It was a mistake. A ghastly gaffe. I should never have dropped such a clanger. I apologise.⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, having listened to Archie Moore discourse for the best part of an hour on a dozen abstruse topics from applied psychology to a punch on the nose, self-respect demanded that I contribute my two bits-worth- if you will pardon the Americanism.
"Mr Moore," I said, "we have a theory here that no fighter in the world is in quite the same shape, physically or mentally, after a going-over by Rocky Marciano. Now I once saw you, Mr. Moore, on the consumer's end of that kind of accident, and I should be most grateful if you would give me your views on the aftermath of such a distressing situation.
