Lomotto Kicks Own Monoqer

New York, Nov. 17-(UP) Jake LaMotta, number one middleweight boxing con- tender from New York, today awaited grand jury action on charges of felonious assault brought by his manager, Mike Capriano.
 Capriano charged that La. motta kicked him in the stom- ach and threatened to hit him with a heavy book-end in forcing him to sign a release from their contract which ex- pires in February but con- tains a three-year renewal clause.
 Lamotta rose to promi- hence last year by gaining victories over such well known fighters as Ray (Sugar) Robinson and Fritzie ZiVic.

 New York, Nov. 17.-CUP)-When the American Bowling Congress tournament resumes after the war, total prize money may be raised from the customary $250.000 to $40O, ,000, according to E. H. Baum garten, congress secretary.
 Baumgarten of Milwaukee said increase in disbursements, if adopt ed, would go into effect beginning with the second annual tournament after war-end. It's adoption would occur during the next annual con- gress convention, which will be held during the first postwar tour ney.
 Baumgarten of MHilwaukee said last night at the Hotel Park Gen. tral that ne will propose the prize increase at the next convention.
 The middle sized, middle-aged, gray-haired secretary in the brown tweed suit explained that the in- crease would be made possible by charging $50 for each series of three games bowled during the tournament. This additional rev. enue would permit distribution of about 07 per cent of funds obtained from the usual S entry frees, which are required per man in each event. Usually more than 30,000 persons compete during the tournament. In the past only about 70 per cent of the entry funds have been diStrib- uted,
 ''The charge of $50 for each series of three games not only will result in larger prizes, but will lift the calibre of competition in the tournament" Baumgarten said. Tt will discourage booster clubs, meanwhile attracting more and more high-class teams which will be out for the bigger prizes.
 Because of the transportation and manpower situations. the tour nament was abandoned for the duration. Despite its abandonment, interest in bowling has increased during the war, Baumgarten be- heveS. This increased enthusiasm is due partially to the establishment of nearly 4,000 bowling alleys at various service encampments in the United States, Iceland, West Indies and South America. Reports from the camps show that from 80 to 70 per cent of the youngsters who take up bowling in service never have played the ten-pin game before.
 Baumgarten, visiting in New York after a recent meeting of the Na- tional Bowling Council at Syracuse, N. Y, estimates that there are be- tween 16.O00,00 and T,0O0,000 ''cas- ual''bowlers in the United States persons who roll the balls once or

Greco 7-5 Over
 Ruffin. Tonight
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff COrresnnnda

lUnlted Press Staff Correspondent
 New York. Nov. 17-CUP)-Jolt- ing Johnny Greco of Montreal is a 7-5 favorite to beat clever Bobby Ruffin of Astoria, N. Y, tonight at at Madison Square Garden in the most important welterweight bout of 1944.
 More than 17,00O are expected to witness this International 10-round brawl between ex-soldiers of the Canadian and U. s. armies, each of whom is determined to reap a harvest in the rich welter division. Each was a prominent lightweight contender before entering service; but after receiving medical discharg- es they began campaigning as l47- pounderS.
 The winner will be recognized as a stand-out performer in a division that now includes more talent than at any time in its 64-year history.
 Greco is favored because of his punch. The Canadian has been out of service few months longer than Ruffin. During that time Greco registered four knockouts in six straight victories. Meanwhile Ruffin has belted out two opponents in three triumphS
 Styles
 The bout is regarded as a ma tural" because of its importance and because it brings together two youngsters of sharply contrasting styles. Greco, a fair boxer, de- bends upon his lethal slugging, while Ruffin is fast, smart boxer, and an awkward opponent because fo his yen for clowning.
 Despite Greco's dynamite, Ruff fin is heavily supported by bet- ting men. He is plenty rubbed, never having been kayoed in 95 professional bouts. He shook off Beau Jacks best shots to turn in a laundering upset over the Geor- gia Negro last year. And he has faced the fire of such punchers as Tippy Larkin, Bob Montgomery, Chalky Wright and Nick Castigli- one.
 Greco was expected to have a slight weight advantage, scaling about IA to Ruffin's l4l.

BY WALTER BEERS United Press Staff COrrespondenI

 Landis, who will be 7S Monday, is confined to St. Luke's hospital here.
 The meeting was announced last night by president William Har- ridge of the American League short ly after St. Luke's public relations office reported that Landis, who has been hospitalized there for more than six weeks, suffered setback in his "rest cure" Wednesday and "is not progressing as satisfactorily as before"
 New Commission?
 From today's meeting, attended by representatives of four clubs from each league. plus the respec- tive league president, will develop the plan by which the majors will operate after the expiration of the present Major League agreement Jan .12, 1946. That pact invests huge power in the baseball commissioner and has been the force by which Landls has guided baseball with a firm hand for g years.
 The plan formulated at today's meeting will be offered for official approval to the full big league mem- bership at the annual meeting here, Dec. 11-12.
 Those attending today's meeting include: National League-president Ford Prick, vice president Warren Giles of Cincinnati, president Sam Breadon of St. Louis, president Branch Hickey of Brooklyn, and president Horace Stoneham of New York; American League, president Harridge, president hlva Bradley of Cleveland, general manager Jack Teller of Detroit, vice president Har- ry Grabiner of Chicago, and Joseph c.

ROOSEVELT TO
 SETTLE GAME
 ISSUE TODAY?
By ERNEST BARCELLA

Limited Press Stan COEreSpOndent)
 Washington, Nov. 17-(UP)- President Roosevelt. was expected to call the signals at his press fluddle today to locate definitely the site of the Army-Nayy football game on Dec. 2.
 It seemed imperative that the president would announce his de- cisio1 within the next "A hours on whether the game will be left at Annapolis, Md, as originally sched- uled, or transferred to a larger eastern city in the interests of pro noting the sale of war bonds. If the game is to be switched the move must be made soon because of the tremendous task involved in print ing new tickets and making the other necessary preparations.
 The issue already has been kicked around more thoroughly than will be the football used in the game. So far the Treasury Department, the Oflce of Defense Transporta- tion, the Navy Department and the War Department have all had a boot at it and now the War De- pertinent says "It'S the White Houses baby"
 Yesterday Sen. James M. Mead, D., N. Y, joined other congressional and public leaders urging the games shift toR metropolitan area Mead predicted that $1O0, ,000, 900 in War Bonds could be sold if it were transferred to New York. With Subways available, handling the crowd would "be just another days work" he said.
 "A great throng of people would again be thrilled and inspired by the opportunity of witnessing this traditional contest between the two service schools of the country" he added. "One always comes away from an Army-Navy game prouder than ever that he is an American"
 ODT Chief J. Monroe Johnson, who decides whether the trip is necessary, is opposed to the trans fer, however. He said at Chicago Wednesday that it would be an outrage" to move the game from Annapolis, which has a stadium with seating capacity of 18,756, to New York or Philadelphia.
 Won't Talk
 Both James V. Forrestal, secretary of the Navy, and Henry L. Stimson, secretary of War, have refused com- ment. Both had press conferences scheduled yesterday and both can- celled them. Stimson, however, has been reported as against change.
 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr.. however, held his press conference yesterday and without climbing out on a limb, said some $50, 100000 worth of War Bonds probably could be sold if the transfer is effected. It was known that the Treasury Department fa- vored the switch to Philadelphia where 102.000 people could be ac- commodated. On a War Bond ad- mission policy the $14,00o, ,000, 900 Sixth War Loan drive would receive a big boost, it was pointed out.
 About the only thing certain af- ter yesterdays go around was that the game-which, incidentally fig ureS to be the best football game of the year, and some say the cen- tury-will be played someplace on Dec. 2.

Girl Skating Star
 Horseshoe Pitcher

Horseshoe pitching and ice skat- ing are not related sports, but Gin ger Clayton of the Ice FollieS is a top fighter at both. The red-head- ed girl featured in the ice show which will open 8 weeks engage ment at the New Haven Arena on December 4th was well on her way to state title honors in horseshoe pitching when she turned to Skat- ing. Her father is Nebraska State champion at barnyard golf.
 A movie gave Ginger the inspra- ton to become 8 skater, and she was at the runner art only a little more than a year when Q Follies scout picked her up.
 But, though busy year around with skating, she finds time to pitch a shoe or two of the equine variety.
