Greene Asks ForNew Deal; Pans Jacobs

Washington, July 91(UP)-Abe J. Greene, president of the National Boxing Association, berated the country's fight promoters today for concentrating so completely upon ticket sales, instead of talent devel- opment, that there Is no "logial contender" for the heavyweight crown
 Greene, announcing the N B. $ quarterly ratings of professional Scrappers, stressed that there were but few new faces among the con- tenders in other divisions because of the lack of fresh talent.
 He called for "a new deal which will take boxing out of the cash register class and restore it to con- petitive sport" He placed most of the blame upon New York, which is not in N. B. A. territory. and add ed, there is only one cure for this. That is to forget concentration on high-price tickets and record gates and pay more attention to giving he up-and-coming youngsters 9 nance"
 Good l1mDef LaCklng
 Stressing that boxing today has ess championship timber in most classes than in many years, he pointed to the heavyweight division . as the horrible example" The N. B. As new ratings showed no log ical contender for champion Joe Louis. Tami Mauriello and Jersey Joe Walcott are listed merely as outstanding boxers" who in Greene's opinion If they haven't completely gone over the hill, have at least seen their peak.
 He regretted that the general dis satisfaction which followed the re- brought "undeserved oppobrium" to boxing generally throughout the country
 Turning to the lone remaining tl- tie dispute between the N. B. and New York State, Greene urged that a match be made at PhlIadeI- phia between the rival lightweight champions-Bob Montgomery tNew York Brand and Ike Williams N. n. NeISiOlll--lO SCLtIr II.

An Observation. What is the key to the Philadelphia PhlllleS winning streak when they were rated a sec ond division team at the beginning of the season? The answer to this question was touched upon by this writer when he was uShered into their dressing room last Friday at the Municipal Stadium. And in a few words the answer is that they get along together and are work ing as a team and for the team, not for the individual. If more of the Major League Ball Clubs could ad- just working conditions so their players would get along better to- gether and work as team one of their biggest stumbling blocks would be overcome. This seems like the answer, maybe I'm wrong

Opposes Action

Rome, May 0-(UP)-Plans OF
King Victor Emmanuel III to abdi-
cate the italian throne hit a snag
today when Palmiro Togliatti, Com
munist leader, violently opposed the
action.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi can
celed plans to. go to Naples in con-
rection with arrangements for the
kings abdication and 1t appeared
that the move would be postponed.
Communist objections to the abb
dication at this time were based on
belief that 1t was a political man
cuver by MonarchiSts to improve
their chances in the Italian cleo
lions scheduled June 2.
Y It was thought that Crown Prince
Humbert and the king would go
forward with the formalities OF
signing the abdication documents
which then will be submitted to the
cabinet which may defer any action
until after the elections. Should
the Communist objections be over
come, however, the abdication you'd
be ofacially formalized Saturday.

headquarters in Paris.
The strike recommendation must
be ratified by the membership OF
the five unions. Two other unions
attending the meeting abstained
from voting on grounds their cur
rent contracts had not expired.
They promised, however, to support
the walkout.

the strike recommendation for the
conventions approval were Joseph
Curran, president of the CLIO. Ma
tional Maritime Union, and Harry
