the brave boy that he is, he told of his happiness In fact, anything to cheer his mother.
 His manager, Eddie Meade who is one of the few handlers of fighters in this country who had grit enough to don Q fighting uniform despite his excess avoidupois, heard from Joe often and in each letter the young ster would say:
 And Joe don't forget to drop over to mothers once in awhile and kid her into believing that I'm having a good time. Tell her that I'm happy. But on the level Ed, I'd give any amount of dough just to be in the old town right now"
 The above is only an excerpt of Joe's many letters to his enerEetic manager To his dad-a. typical Irish man. full of fight and as proud as any father can be or an Obedient, home-Ioving son who has conquered all that there is to conquer in for eign lands-Joe was a trifle more frank. But he, too, came into pos session of only the cheering let ters.
 This is Joe Lynch. A pug some will call him but to his dad and mother he is the most loving lad in manly he has carreid himself through strange lands like the hero that he is. He has conquered the inconquer-

the sporting page. And she searched the page until somewhere in some corner of it she read how Battling LevinsIgy had defeated so-and-so.'' And then she would fold the paper and smile-a smile that meant the world to Levinsky.
 Levinsl1y was bashful and not until he had left his friends and folks in Philadelphia did he learn for himself that he had lost his heart. And so when he came to Bridgeport his thoughts were constantly directed at one dear back home. He didn't dare say anything until he had made good
 But he did make good. Bridgeport treated him cordially, but he was lonesome for the smile of one he thought so much. He told no one Then suddenly one bright late spring day he departed for Philadelphia. There waiting for him was one who had watched, hopefully his every move in the ring. She smiIed-the smile he had lOnged to see. And that smile killed every spark of bashfuI- ues5 in LevinsIly. He suddenly be- came daring and boId-for only to the daring and bold belong the spells, so the romances tell us.
 Then he popped THE question And bashfuIly she said ''yes''
 And so on June 8, 1914 to the tune of the Wedding March, Bat ting LevinslIy changed the name of his bOyhood sweetheart to Mrs Pau line Levinsky. And a good, true, ever loving and encouraging pal she has been to Bat, too.
 Out in Stratford the two were mar ried. And there they lived until last August when they moved to Bridge port.
 In telling the writer of his coming departure from Bridgeport, Barney said today:
 T am sorry to leave Bridgeport. but I am needed in Philadelphia Never will l forget Bridgeport and my good friends here. And who knows but some day I may return, for always this city will occupy a warm spot in my heart
 However, I am going to France within a month or so for the purpose of meeting some good heavyweights there. My manager. Danny Morgan. has arranged all details ard we leave as soon. as I finish with engagements in this country. My wife's folks are in Philadelphia. There she is needed like me.
 But wherever I am I will always remember Bridgeport. the great times have had here, but most of all the good, kind people found here"

Matched to Meet Clay Fur ner In Boston Tuesday,
 Other Bouts Will Follow

Larry Williams of this city who decisively defeated Leo Houck at Lancaster, Pa. on Monday night is much in demand by clubs throughout the country. His manager, Sam Driv- CT, has just signed him to box F rounds to a decision with Clay Tur- her, the Indian heavyweight, at Ivy Lewis Armory A. A in Boston next Tuesday night.

 Sammy Harris, who operates the American A. c. of Baltimore, has wired Driver an offer for Williams services against Bill Brennan of Chi caso. This match has been accepted. but the date will not be set until some time next week. The Keystone A. C. of Pittsburgh also has put in 1 a bid for Williams time and the matchmaker there will stack him up against Willie Meehan of California probably in two weeks
 That Battling Levinsky of this city ] was not decisive1y defeated by Harry ! Greb of Pittsburgh is proven con- 1 clusively by accounts of the Canton 1 bout that appeared in newspape in Harry's home town. Three of the pa ! pers there said that Harry merely l shaded the local heavyweight. An other indication that the bout was | far from being one-sided affair and 1 that Barney must have held his own Is found in the fact that they have been rematched for a 12-rounder at 1 Canton on May 12.
 Tomorrow morning Levinsky will leave for Bayonne. N. J., where he | boxes eight rounds with Johnny | Howard at the Bayonne A. c. tomor- row night. Levinsky is training faith 1 fully and expects to defeat his op- | ponent with little effort Levinsky

Bat Levinsky Will Bid Farewell To
 Bridgeport As His Home NeXt Week
SHOW TO
 BOOST BOND SALE?

According to Sam Driver, handler of IocaI boxers, Bat ting Levinsky has given up all hope of singing n show here on May 1 ? at the Casino, owing to the unrensOnRbiIity of num- Der of managers who have asked for everything from the box of fee to the folding chairs for their prOtegc's services. The ac- COmnlOdating Samuel nlso inn parts the info that he is pre- pared to take over tho permit now held by IeviRsky and to stage a show on that day, a part of the receipts of which will be donated to the Victory Liberty Loan.
 Efforts to communicate with Isvlnalzy today proved futile, however. The Battler has tried ttTue and again to induce local and oCt of town topnOtchers to agree to certain matches, but each time their managers have interfcred and put a criTup into the works, DIsg71sted with their behavior and E9oIdup tactics, Le- vinsky has decided to abandon all hope of putting on such a show. although he has not announced this officially. Driver is authority for this statement.
 Driver claims, too, that such a show will prove a boost for box ing and prove to the public in general that after all boxing is
 
 believe 1t is''
 The Victory Loan campaign, however, the writer understands, closes on May 10. Perhaps when we see Driver again he will ex- plain his proposition in detail, for just now it needs explaining.

 But there was g, reason why Levin sky worked so hard He had ah am bition; he wanted to be champion. He also had another aim in life
 In the story books we are told of the brave, brawny athlete who ac- complishes the seemingly impossible to win the girl his heart most de- sires- And Levinsky, having Q heart, had lost it. In fact, Barney had lost his heart years ago-when he was a mere lad in the streets Of Philly. trimming and beating up bully gang sters.
