Archie Ousted NBA Suspends Champion DETROIT Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore was suspended Friday by the National Boxing Assn. and Moore, with a counterpunch, threatened to sue the NBA for one million dollars. The veteran boxer was suspended when he officially failed to appear for a scheduled bout with top ranking contender Tony Anthony Friday night at Detroit's Olympia, Moore was in Gelnhausen, Germany, Upon learning of his suspension and an NBA warning I that his title be declared va- I cant if he actually get in the ring and defend it by July 7, he stabbed back with his threat. him was the reply of Floyd Stevens, NBA president. Stevens disclosed plans for a tournament to select a champion Moore not meet his obligation to defend within a month.

Perhaps, we can work the No. 4 man into According to June ratings, Harold Johnson of Philadelphia, Hans Stretz of Germany and Chuck Spieser of Detroit rank in order behind Anthony.

The tough New Yorker already has defeated Spieser, knocking him out in the third round of an April battle in Detroit. Though the door was left ajar for Moore, Stevens said a defense must be made against a logical contender. think recognize a title defense in Europe against European the NBA head said. Saturday, June THE 1,1 STAR 13 FULLMER VICTOR Cains Nod Over Tiger CHICAGO (AP) Former middleweight champion Gene Fullmer, although fighting in constant retreat, won a unanimous 10-round decision over Ralph Jones at the Chicago Stadium Friday night. Jones, a 9-5 underdog, continually pressed Fullmer, but the West Jordan, Utah, toughie, came roaring off the ropes or out of the comers to pound out his victory.

I There were no knockdowns in the nationally-televised bout, but Jones went down twice on slips and Fullmer once. Referee Joey White voted for Fullmer, 49-46, in the Illinois point scoring system. Judge Howard Walsh saw it for Fullmer, 48-43, and Judge Frank Clark voted 49-44. The AP had it 46-45, Fullmer. Just 37 nights before, Fullmer 1 lost his middleweight title in this i same ring on a fifth round knockout by Sugar Ray Robinson, Full- mer weighed 161 and Jones 157.

Fullmer, now owning a 41-4 rec-! ord, looked more like the victim than the victor. He bled steadily from a cut along the left eye in the second round and had his forehead gashed in the seventh. Jones, virtually unmarked, relentlessly stalked his younger foe. But every time he apparently had nailed Fullmer with a good series of punches, Fullmer retaliated with a furious attack.
