			*'''Unofficial AP scorecard:''' 6-4 Johnson

	"Jimmy Slade and 1,464 fans at St. Nicholas Arena don't think Harold Johnson is quite ready for Archie Moore. "He fought like he was scared," said Slade last night, after losing a split decision to the No. 1 light heavyweight contender in 10 rounds. Johnson beat Slade easily in the same arena Jan. 16, 1953. He barely squeaked home this time on the official card. Slade was outspoken in his views because he thought he deserved the decision. But he fought only in spurts until the final rounds." -Associated Press		"Jimmy Slade and 1,464 fans at St. Nicholas Arena don't think Harold Johnson is quite ready for Archie Moore.
