BY JACK VEolck.
international News Sports Editor.

international News Sports Editor.
New York. Nov - Barney Leb-
rowitz knew practically all there was
TO know about boxing until few
weeks ago. Now he knows little
more
This Barney is commonly known to
the boxing fraternity as Bat Leyinsky
and until he faced Jack Dempsey il
a Philadelphia ring he had never had
his shoulders on the canvas
In the third round he took the first
flop Of his career and it was solid
wallop propelled by Mister Dempsey
that taught the Battler what he didn't
know about boxing. namely. how TO dc
a dive.
From all accounts Bat outdid An
nette kellerman He was clean gone
and ont, and they counted Ten over
him for the first time, which was &c
say the least hamiliating to the Bat
tier.
Levinsky, during his eight years
as a boxer met all the good ones at
his weight as he progressed. He be-
came a proficient boxer in every re-
spect He always ranked as one of
the hardest men in his division 10
hit, and he could stand up to the
best Of them and hold his own oyer
the ienround route with ease.
But in Dempsey the Batter found
his master. just as every really good
man Dempsey has met during the
past year has done. Dempsey smoth.
cred Bat with an avalanche Of gloves
and when he had his man confused
and trying to cover he put over the
punch that dropped him for the count.
Maybe some Of these days the few
critics who would like TO take some
thing away from Dempsey will be
forced TO admit that he is the class
from The ground up. He represents
$50 odd pounds Of fighting ability,
and he has a style peculiarly his own
which makes him look like a dane
ns question mark 10 every man he
aces.
