LATEST KING RATINGS
Both ;hr “Ring” magazine and
National Boxing Association re
used ling ratings during the past
reek, but this column selected the
Ring's" rating for publication bo
. ..use they deal with the latest
changes in tiie fistic picture. The
Ring" aiso gives a fairer evalua
,;in of the fighters on the basis of
. their performances during the past
| month.
In one respc-ct, however, both
! bodies were in accord. Both ad-
I vanned Ellsworth "Spider” Webb
in the ratings, and the “Ring” tab
bed him the “Fighter of the
Month.” Webb, a clever counter
punching middleweight from Chi
cago, has long been regarded by
li.-.tif experts as the coming charn
i‘ion of the division. There is talk
of title fight for him with the win
ce: of the Gene Fullrner-Sugor

! run into the same troubles in the
ninth with two-out, he was re
lieved by Frank Ratviilton,
Hus tin was the winner and the
losing pitcher was Clarence Crutch
fir-id who was relieved in the six

battery mate was William Wilder.
Samuel Scott was backstop for
the Aggies, i

i The most noticeable change in
1 the demotion of aged Archie Moore
I the heavyweight situation concerns
from fourth to fifth among the
top contenders. In the light-heavy
class, however, Moore is still tops,
with final determination of his
ring status awaiting tjie outcome
of his coming title tussle with Tony
Anthony of New York. Moore has
said he will retire from the ring
following the title match. However,
insiders feel the ring-hardy vet
eran may be persuaded to try for
one more defense, should he de
feat Anthony. The "Ring" and
NBA rated Chuck Spiser. recent
victim of Anthony, as the top-rank
ing contender, but, both ratings
went to press before the Spiser-
Anthony match was decided.
There are little chances in the
other six divisions. The ratings
