Louis Defects
 Amos Third Time

Camden, N. J., Nov. IS. (UP)-Sgt. Joe Louis had anothre victory to- day in his current exhibition tour, with a three-round decision over Dee Amos of New York.
 Amos, who weighed POS, kept away from the 21O-pound Louis through out a three-round exhihithion be- fore $500 fans at exhibition Hall last night, and gave Louis no oppor- tunity to loose the punch which made him champion.
 Louis battle came before the main event in which Eddie Giosa, Phila- delphia, won an eight-round deci- sion over Maxie Shapiro, New York, who recently won an army dis charge. Giosa was awarde dive rounds over the veteran who tried but failed to draw the winner in for cloSe-range fighting Both weighed 1S3 Ia.

this current--for no good reason.
 Ana there Was no good reason for keeping the game isolated in Annapolis-no reason that could counter-balance the arguments of fans and writers and the Treasury Department, whose combined voice demanded that the classic be moved 10 a large stadium, where the at- tendanS publicity and the actual sale or seats could be used as a mighty aid to the war-loan drive.
 Assurances by Mayor Bernard Samuel of Philadelphia that he could fill municipal stadium with Phlladelphians apparently offset any objections that could come later from the office of defense trans portation; and those objections did come loudly from J. Monroe John son, ODT chief, who said 1t would be "an outrage" to attempt trans fer. His objections and the appar- ent necessity of maintaining politic- al fences in Maryland resulted in the compromise shift to Baltimore, 1nSeeao oI Pnllaoelphta.
 But some transfer was imperative, because the tremendous pressure had put the treasury department squarely on the spot. No one apprec- lated this better than Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau and President Roosevelt. Two important factors were involved: (1j It would be em- barraSsing for Morgenthau to ask the nations sports fans to buy bonds of small denominations, when the Treasury Department was apparent iy failing to use the Army Navy classic as vehicle that could sell about $100,000,000 worth, and (2) it would be embarrassing for Morgen- thau to ask the sports writers to arrange their very valuable sports bond-selling show, if the Treasury Depar -ment was passing up the big gest sports show of all.
 We'll, the problem was solved by a smart, compromise decision that di0 not bruise too many toes nor knock down many political fences.

 New York. November 18.--(UP)- Chalk up the shift of the Army Navy football game from Annapolis to Baltimore as an ultra-important victory for sports.
 The belated transfer of the De- cember 2nd service classic reflects yividly the high status of sports in American life, even in war time, as well as the tremendous power wield- ed by sentiment of the nations fans.
 We congratulate President Roose- welt and his advisors upon their action in yielding to the fans wishes in this controversial matter. It was a wise decision-one that should give . robust boost to the Sixth War Loan Drive, opening Monday.
 Announcement of the decision was front-paged by the conservative New York Times one indication, at least, of its importance.
 Last Monday we wrote that the game was virtually certain" to be transferred. We thought at the time that 1t would be switched from the Annapolis Stadium, where less thanI2O00 witnessed the 1912 classic, to the huge Municipal Stadium at Philadelphia, capable of accommo- dating 10000 fans. Apparently there were more obstacles to the Philadelphia shift than we had an- ticipated--obstacles that necessitated a compromise designation of Balti- more as the site. We understand that the Baltimore stadium may be able to accommodate more than 72,OO0, after additional seats have been installed.
 Anyway, we were right about the big game being transferred some- where. After recent magnificent victories by the Gerat Army and Navy teams. the pressure for a shift became so terrific from all quarters of the sports world that it seethed and swept like tangible current of great power. It seemed 8 virtual impossibility that President Roose- welt and the cabinet members inc volved would insist upon bucking

BIG TURNOUT PREDIC TED;
 LEEMEN 11-5
BY YIN MALoNEY Staff writer

On Sunday afternoon instead of Thanksgiving the curtain will be rung up on the annual Crosby wilby tilt at tine Municipal Stadium, a game considered by some Water burians as keen a rivalry as the all service clash between the Army and the Navy. Although some of the traditional local color may be miss ing due to the fact that Leaven- worth takes over the stadium on Turkey Day" both teams are rated highly by the experts even though the Blue and White are given as II to five favorISss. Crosby's mentor James Lee, and Tom Plir- cell mentor of the Green and White have put their respective squads through some strenuous workouts this week in last minute preparation for the annual classic. And when you put your money on either Crosby or Wilby 1t is wise to remember that Crosby was three to one favorite last season but was stopped by a devastating aerial at tack in the last period.
 The two high school backfields shape up favorably with the Blue and White being given a slight edge in the power department while the Purcell men may have slight edge in the air. The Crosby backs led by Johnson, Pickett, Fischang and Reardon will have to be on their toes to match the aerial prow- ess of Lenoce, Squires, Ledarski. and Datelle. Both lines are weak and inexperienced and it is hard to determine at this stage who will hold out the longest, although we would be inclined to favor the Lee men.
 It is the humble opinion of this writer however, that the success or failure of either team to click will hinge on the success or failure Of their aerial attack. Even though spectators and the experts were a little woozy after last years game, some of them can't see that it was in the air in the last few minutes that the underdog upset the fsro~i+e to clinch their biggest win of the season, not numerically but morally.

CLUB OWNERS VOTE TO KEEP
 JUDGE LANDS
BY WALT BYERS United Press Staff Corresponds

Chicago, November IS. = (UP) - Given a vote of confidence by 10 men, all high in the councils of baseball, Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis was on the road to recovery today, according to an official bulle- tin released by St. Luke's Hospital stating that "his condition is just fine and he is resting satisfactor- ily."
 The Stern-faced commissioner, who has ruled baseball with firm hand for A years, was given unarl- imous endorsement late yesterday when the 10-man joint American National League Committee voted to recommend his reelection and ex- tension of the major league agree ments-the pact which governs the entire conduct of baseball.
 The recommendations will be up for official action at the major leagues annual winter meeting here, Dec. 11-12, and are expected to receive full-league sanction. In- inmates of Judge Landis, who has been confined to St. Luke's hospi- tai since Oct. 2 for "rest cure" expect him to preside at the Decein- Der meetings.
 May Resign
 However, it was doubtful if Lan- dis would accept the reelection if it is forthcoming. Les OConnor, Landis' secretary treasurer who has said, incidentally, he was not 8 candidate for the commissioners post, told the United Press recently: T believe the judges intent is to resign after he completes his term in 1946."
 If Landis is reelected and agrees to return to his sky-scraper office as commissioner, he will be 86 years old when his next term expires in 1943.
 Currently the Judge is receiving a salary of $65, 900 year.
 That pact has been the law which has stood behind Landis through the years, enabling the former fed eral judge-who will be 78 Monday ito make the major decisions which have brought baseball back from the dark days of the Black Sox Scan- daI' to it's present esteemed posi- tion as Americas favorite sport.
 Following yesterdays meeting behind closed doors, President Will liam Harridge of the American league issued the following state ment
 'The Joint committee of the two major leagues will recommend to the clubs that the present major league agreement be extended. The two leagues also will propose to the coming joint meeting that Judge Landis be reelected as commission CT for another term of seven years from the expiration date of the present agreement"
 The following committee, select ed at the major league summer meeting in Pittsburgh. endorsed Landis-governed baseball: American league-League President Harridge, President Ava Bradley of Cleve- land, General Manager Jack zeller of Detroit, Vice President Harry Grabiner of Chicago, and Joseph Hostetlsr of Cleveland, league at torney; National League-Ieague President Ford Prick. President Sam Breadon of St. Louis, President Branch Rickey of Brooklyn, Gener- al Manager Warren Giles of Cin- cinnati, and President Horace Stoneham of New York.
 The committee did not alter the agreement and it will be presented in its present form to the December meeting, at which time the exact expiration date will be set.

GRECO WINNER OVER RvFFIN
 IN THRILLER
By JACK CUDDY


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 18-(UP)-Jolting Johnny Greco of Montreal won unanimous 10-round decision over Long Islands Bobby Rufin before 16, 100 at Madison Square Garden; but there international welterweight brawl was so electrfying that they'll probably be rematched for repeat performance next month.
 These two medical dischargees from the Canadian and U. s. Armies staged one of the most thrilling fights ever witnessed in the house that Rickard built-a heart-lashing battle that had the fans screaming deliriously at the final bell.
 Down Twice
 Rufin, smart boxer, was floored twice by the Canadian crusher- in the sixth and seventh rounds but the son of a fighting father shook off threats of his first knock out and rallied so magnific in the last three rounds that the out come would have been uncertain in longer scrap.
 For that reason, Mike Jacobs probably will schedule them for 12 or IS rounds if they meet again Dec. IS or 29 as tentatively planned. Prices for such a return brawl could be lacked up to gross & gate of nearly double last nights $55, ,760.
 Greco deserved the unanimous decision of Referee Frankie F'ullam and Judges EHl Healy and Sam Cohen, each of whom voted six rounds for the Montreal Mauler The United Press scored five for Johnny, four for Rufln and one even. Despite Ruf1n's grand rally in the closing rounds, it could not offset Greco's earlier commanding lead.
 "Game" Boy
 Ruffin was glorious in defeat. He displayed the ultimate in rugged ness and gameness in the sixth anc seventh sessions, when he rose iron the resin dust after blows that woulC have felled an elephant-and car. ried the fight to his opponent. straight right crashed into his chir midway in the sixth and smashed him to the floor near neutra, corner for the count of three. But the son of Teddy Hubbs." old time featherweight contender, called upon his ring heritage and came up fighting. Blood trickled from a gash beneath his right eye
 Again in the seventh, the black haired Irish kid from Astoria, N Y, was mailed by 8 bullet right that dropped him to his haunches. with the lower ring strand resting on the canvas beneath him. Bobby jumped up at the count of one and tried to bore in; but he absorbed terrific punishment for the rest of the round.
 It seemed that he was ready for the coup de grace when the eighth opened; but Ruffin amazed every one by launching rally that car ried on into and through the thunderous 10th. He had Greco groggy briefly +n the ninth.
 Greco, who had 8 slight weight advantage of 143h pounds to Al was superior in the early sessions because of his punching. Ruffin took only the second round and fought even in the third-during the early milling.
