Con'tGet MiddIeweieht Title Bout

New York, Oct. 23-CUP)-Jake LaMotta's total fight purses for 1946 will approximate $100,0O0. Neverthe- less Jake was most unhappy today, for he realized that he had giv- en the years prize "run-around."
 LaMotta is the bull-shouldered Bronx Italian who has been recog- nized as No. 1 middleweight chal- lenger for the past two years, at least, by practically every one con- nected with boxing.
 Such recognition made nice stor- ies in the newspapers but it failed to get the black-haired contender within punching distance of cham pion Tony Zale, Rock Graziona, Marcel Cerdan, Georgie Abrams or even Steve Belloise. They have evaded Jake as if he were monster possessed of six steel fists.
 Looks Bad
 Furthermore, this game of run around Jakie" appeared destined to- day t. be continued indefinitely. At least that was LaMotta's conclusion after trying to force the New York commissioner and asked permission to deposit a challenger's check for $2,000, guaranteeing that he would be ready to challenge the winner of the Zale-Graziano return title bout, scheduled for Madison Square Gar den in March.
 Jim Murray, LaMotta's manager, described somewhat heatedly what occurred at commission headquar- ters. Murray said:
 Chairman Eddie Eagan and com- missioner Gillian Powell told Jake that he could send in his check for $2,000 and that it would be placed on file, but that it wouldn't neces- Sarily me2n anything, since the com- mission was not in the match-mak- ing business.
 T told them that they had adopt ed different attitude in connection with the welterweight title mess, when they forced Marty Servo to sign for a defense against Ray Rob- inson and then vacated Servo's title when he was unable to go through with the defense because of a nose injury.
 Commissioner Powell told me that there was no similarity be- tween the Robinson and the LaMot- ta cases. I asked Powell to explain the difference, but he refused to do so. It is apparent that neither Eagan nor Powell will do anything about arranging middleweight title compe- tition on the basis of ability instead of on the current basis of what money 8 clown can draw through the gate.'
 Murray declared that LaMotta had been given the "runaround" when Zale was permitted to accept the low-rankng Graziano as his first postwar challenger at Yankee Sta dium on Sept. 27.
 Return Go
 When Zale knocked out Grazi- ano," Murray continued, T was pos tive that LaMotta would be signed almost immediately for zale's next defense. But, what happened? zale and Graziano were signed for a re- turn bout because they are expected to draw another big gate. zale will knock out Graziano in less than three rounds when they fight again. Then what?
 Then Marcel Cerdan of France will be thrown into the ring with zale for an outdoor title fight-and LaMotta still will be left holding the bag. Jake can lick any middleweight in the world today, and they all know 1t, but he'll have beard down to his knees before he ever gets a shot at the title. And what can we do about it?"

Beau Jack Beaten by Unkn0un

Elizabeth, N. J., Oct. 23-(UP)- A portable oxygen tank got major portion of the credit today for Bus ter Tyler's upset victory over Beau Jack last night which brought Tyler into listing as 8 new welterweight contender.
 Tyler, 22-year-old Newark, N. J Negro, was saved by the bell at the end of the first round and was car- ried to his corner, where Pete Reilly, a veteran second, administered the oxygen and revived Tyler.
 Under old methods, without the oxygen, Tyler couldn't have answer ed the next bell," admitted Sammy Aaronson, Tyler's manager.
 Tyler came back strong in the second round and won it even though he was down again for no count. He continued to dominate the battle from the third through the sixth rounds, but Jack, former lightweight champion, rallied in the seventh and eighth rounds and in the eighth floored Tyder for nine count.
 Strong Finish
 Again Tyler got up and battled Jack to a standstill, winning the ninth round and holding even in the 10th.
 Referee Paul Cavalier gave Tyler five rounds, Jack three and called two even, and it was popular de- ciSion with the crowd of 2,6OO. Jack finished the fight with tightly closed left eye.
 Tyler was a 5-to-1 underdog be- fore the bout. He has been fighting professionally for four years.
 It was not the first time oxygen has been used by fighters. Reilly, who manages and seconds a string of fighters of his own, uses the tank on his own men, and when asked to second Tyler for the bout last night, brought his tank along.

Williamson
 Ratings Up to Date
By PAUL B. WILLIAMSON

Rain, heat, sultrlness, plain cuss- edness of chance, and stars on Ala bama Auburn and the U.) ganged up to give one of the nuttiest grid iron weeks in years. The cockeyed results were too numerous to men, tton. Besides favorites tumbling right and left, others barely skinned by when they were supposed to have Swamped the opposition.
 However, the Williamson System was able to straighten out most of the 322 scores reported. That Is, except for nine more upsets and six more inconsistent ties as 99.2 percent consistently the rating table now stands. The Systems record for the week was 83.6 percent on predictions-lowest weeks average so far this season.
 Among the Systems bright spots in calling the shots last week were -on Friday-Compton 20, Long Beach Is; Newberry 20, Elon 0; St. Cloud IA, Winona 13, Perkinston IA, Summit 0; Hardin-Simmons IA, New Mexico 0; and the two picks of the week; John McNeese 16, North east Center 0; and Southeastern Louisiana 13, Northwestern Louisi- ana 0. The last two outcomes were two of the best predictions ever to v1ndicate the logic of scientific foot ball ratings.
 On Saturday the System went to town with Bates 20, Northeastern o: St. Louis 27, Drake 6; Delaware 27. Gettysburg 6, East Texas 20: Hols- ton U. IA; Mississippi College 20, Sewanee 6; South Dakota 6, Morn ingside 0; North Carolina 21, Navy IA; Rhode Island State IA, Mass State 5; Texas A. & M. 14. Texas Christian 0; Texas Tech 13, Baylor 6; Flagstaff IA, New Mexico A. & M. 6; Illinois Normal IS, lMacomb o: and others. All these were consid- cred more or less toss-ups before the opening whistle.
 Some of the shuffling of the na- tlon's top ten teams came through readJustment, rather than weekend performance. Duke, for instance, moved into the select circle at No. 10, though the Blue Devils had only to beat Richmond to move up. Ten neSsee came up the hard way from No. lS to the No. slot by nipping Alabama. Georgia Techs 26-7 win over L-S.U. moved the Jackets up from 23rd place to eighth, and knocked L.S.U. out of the top ten. Texas held firm at No. l, but Army and Notre Dame swapped positions with the former gaining No. 2.
