La MOtta Stakes New
Prestige Here Friday
Faces CIeveland's
Jimmy Reeves
at Olympia
BY BOB MURPHY

Ranked as the No. l challenger
for Tony Zale's middleweight
crown. Jake LaMotta lays all his
newly-won prestige on the line
Friday night in Olympia when he
faces Jimmy Reeves, the clever
Cleveland Negro, who twice has
won decisions over him.
LaMotta has moved up the fistic
ladder the hard way. He has taken
on all corners. In meeting Reeves
third time, he faces possible
fistic demotion in the rankings,
but those who have seen him in
four smashing performances here
know it will take greater fighter
to turn the trick.
IT is no secret that LaMotta Is
taking the Reeves fight against
the judgment of his managers.
They figure LaMotta has been
taking on too many tough fighters
in row.
TAKES THEM ALL
He fought Jimmy Edgar twice,
once in New York ana once at
Olympia, when no other middle
weight around wanted any part
of the Detroit fighter.
LaMotta was showed into a fight
with Sgt. Jackie Wilson in the
Garden. This was to be a pre-
view for Wilson just before he
took on the great Ray Robinson.
LaMootta was on the short end
of 5 to ! odds. But he won from
Wilson and won easily. Just to
prove this was no fiuke, LaMotta
then stepped into the Olympia ring
and won a decision over Robinson.
Sugar Ray not only lost his first
fight as an amateur or, professional,
but was down for a count of nine.
LaMotta could have capitalized
on this win for months TO come.
Instead, he gladly accepted re-
turn match. Although he lost the
decision to Robinson in the second
meeting, he again had Ray on the
deck for count of eight.
LA MOTTA HERE MONDAY
Reeves. looking in fine fettle,
took an easy workout Saturday at

Jack Rabbit Voted
In Majors Baseball
New Cork Ball
Will Increase
Batting Averages

CHICAGO, March - UP).-
Major league hitters today envis-
Toned improved batting averages
after a three-man committee voted
to put the "jackrabbit" back into
the standard baseball.
Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lam
dis; William Harridge, president
of the American League, and
Warren Giles, general manager Of
the Cincinnati Reds. voted TO
adopt as the majors standard ball
for 1943 one which meets the same
specifications as that used by the
big leagues for the 1889 campaign.
IT'S GOOD NEWS
Since 1899 was an outstanding
year from smuggling standpoint,
the committees decision means
good news TO the hitters and fur
nishes another source of worry for
the pitchers.
The ball adopted will have a
graduated cork center. Around il
will be two layers OF balata rub
Der. This center will not be as
lively as the one formerly used
when top grade cork and rubber
were available. but the manufac-
turers have agreed to increase the
resiliency by an improved method
of winding the yarn and a diff
ferent cover.
START DELIVERIES
Deliveries start in limited guam
titles within 10 days and COM
plete supply will be available by
the time the championship opens.
Clubs which have a supply OF
the 1912 balls in stock will be
permitted TO exchange them for
the new ball. The new ball will
be used exclusively once the reg
ular league seasons start.
Each OF the is major league
clubs use approximately 600 dozen
balls per season. The average
number OF balls used in each
league game is Sc.

PARKING LOT BULLETIN

We believe the parking lot situz
alton which has been headache
to most Of the employees for quite
some time has been rectified. By
observing the following regu.a-
tions and by making use Of addi-
tional facilities now available in
the rear Of the parking lot, this
will tend to eliminate CONGESTION
but only if the employees cooper
ate. 1t is proposed that this shall
go into effect Monday, Dec. 27, at
1880 a. m.
At the last unit meeting the
union members accepted the fol-
lowing suggestions as set forth
by the committee and manage
ment:
1. All the space along the inside
Of the fence bounding the west side
Of the parking lot running along
Montrose Ave. will be reserved for
the Ais p. m. to 12:45 a. m. shift.
2. There will be one gate for in

going traffic. Conspicuous signs
will be posted near the gates des-
ignating which shall be used for
incoming and outgoing traffic.
3. There must be no double

Roosevelt Asked
TO Take Over
Railroads

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (FP)-
The Negro Labor Victory Com
mittee, made up of AFL and CIO
union representatives, called upon
Pres. Roosevelt to take over the
16 southern railroads which are
defying his Fair Employment
Practices Committee order to cease
discrimination against Negroes.
The railways challenged the
FEPC Dec. 13, stating boldly that
they would not obey its directives,
which ban discrimination on racial
or religious grounds on the part of
any contractor doing business with
the government.
1t would be impossible and i'm
practicable" to carry out the order
concerning employment of Ne
groes, the companies claimed.
FEPC Chairman Malcolm Ross de-
MED this, stating that "the grant
ing of overdue rights to Negro
railroad men could be so managed
as to improve service and to raise
the morale of tens of thousands of
Negro Americans who have their
1own stake in winning this war
quickly"

ing lot for the exit Of the outgoing

4. With the addition to the park
ing lot, the present capacity will
allow every driver space for park
ing inside the lot, This addition
should be used.
5. Safe and sane driving win
tend to eliminate CONGESTION and
accidents.
6. Drivers are requested to at

to the adjoining cars as possible,
without taking chance of dam
aging the cars.
That this plan is a tentative one
every driver at Champion will un-
derstand. We are therefore ap-
pealing to your sense of fair play
and cooperation to make this
permanent plan. If, however, this
should fail, due to lack of coopera-
tion, penalties will have to be in
flicted and enforced.

The Waggin'
Tongue
of Local IL

Have you ever noticed how auto
matically you fall in line? When
you left home this morning you
rode by bus, trolley or private car,
and sat in rows inside of the ve-
hicle. After riding along on the
road you arrived and parked in
rows near the factory. Then you
got in line to punch your time card
which you placed in the card rack
in line with the others. You work
ed in a row all day, and if it hap
pened to be pay day you stood in
line and grumbled.
Following the morning proceed
ure you arrived home in the eve
ming. You cleaned up and rushed
to the liquor store, only to find
that you had to stand in a long
line (after you got inside, remem-
Der how angry you were because
they put up the mo whiskey" sign
just as you were about to be wait
ed on?). With bit of disappoint-
ment you traced your steps back
home. Then you recalled that you
promised to take the wife and kids
to movie, and you lined up for
tickets. You got as far as the tick
ct taker in the lobby, and he an
nounced that "There will be no
seats until the feature is over"
(This was no joke, either.)
Or do you remember the time
you waited until the last week of
the month to pay your union dues
at Local No. 12? You saw lines of
people and lined up behind some
one and someone else lined up be-
hind you, but you finally got to
the window to transact your busi-
ness.
And on another occasion, even
though you knew you would have
to stand in line again, you went to
the post office to buy an extra
Victory Bond. We're also referring
to the time you sent that package
to that boy in service. Remember,
while standing there you began to
realize that we go on through life
marching along in line, always be-
hind someone else, following in
someone else's footsteps? But"
you said with a smile defeating
the defeatist in you), isn't there
always someone just few steps
behind me-"
