The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-06-24

Red Allen, formerly Of Bridgeport,
 but now of South Norwalk, will in all
 probability figure in the next main
 bout at a boxing show of the Twen-
 tieth Century A. C. of Pittstield, Mass. Allen is training every day and his manager, Tobey owens, is now con
 sidering several offers for his services.
 Unofficial estimates furnished to the writer by the manager of Joe Hurtig's Empire Theatre in Toledo fix the receipts at the workouts of Jack Dempsey so far at more than
 S13,000, a very neat sum. This amount will not only pay all ex-
 penses, but also show a profit for Dempsey and his manager.
 Battling Levinsky of Philadelphia
 Is in hard luck. His match for next
 Monday ct the National League Park. Philadelphia, with Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, has been called off. This
 means that Levinsky will leave for Toledo to join Jess Willard's train
 ing camp some time this week. There will be boxing in South Nor
 walk after Labor Day, according to
 announcement made today. If all
 runs well with the battlers and they
 manage to maintain the reputation they hold as game battlers, Red Allen and Battling Kunz will in all
 probability participate in the main bout.
 So that he may give the best in him against Sammy Waltz of Hartford whom he meets in the star bout at Meriden on July 3, Battling Reddy of this city and New York has called off his battle in Baltimore for the Fourth, according to his manager, Eddie Meade. Reddy will start train ing for the Waltz bout probably to- morrow.
 If the manager of Larry Williams of this city will get in touch with | Mugsy Taylor, promoter and match
 maker of the Atlantic City A. c. of l that same resort, he will in all prob | ability land a match for his protege
 with Clay Turner, the Indian. The
 Atlantic City club. according to all | reports, is drawing big crowds. Mechanics building, the largest as
 sembly auditorium in New England.
 has been leased by the Armory A A | of Boston for its future shows. Benny | Valger and Johnny Dundee will con sutute the first big match to be de- cided there They will head the
 card at the clubs show of July 15. Now that Willie Jackson of New
 York is well again, the boxing promo | ters of ti6 country are stumbling | over themselves seeking his services | Willie is wanted in Philadelphia, for
 Lew Tender and in all probability
 this match will be closed within a day | or so.
 | Asked in New York last night if I George Mu1ligan of Waterbury had | made him offer for Benny Leon
 ards services in a bout to be con- | ducted by the popular referee in the
 Brass City on Labor Day, Billy Gib- | son, the champs manager. said that he had practically made up his mind | to permit his protege to box there | against the best man available. Although Silvey Burns and Joe | Leonard of New York have parted | the former still contends that the tamweight in the country and can | beat any man his weight. Joe has been doing his own work and is now a. resident of Birmingham.
 i Latest reports from Jersey convey | information to the effect that Johnny l (Kid) Alh~rts of Elizabeth will pro- I mote boxing in his home town next winter. Alberts used to be a nifty | welterweight and was managed by
