The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-06-21

little training himself for ne will box a light heavyweight at Rossford, o. just outside of Toledo, on July 3.
 Just now Levinsky Is working out every day preparing for another bout with Harry Greb of Pittsburgh at the National League baseball park on June 30. Levinsky has lost two news paper decisions to the Pittsburgher but he is confident that this time he will defeat him.
 Just who will pilot Levinsky on July 8, at Rossford, O., has not been made known, for according to Dan Morgan he will be busy that night with Jack Britton, the welterWelSht champion, who will meet Johnny Griffith, Tommy Walsh's welterweight at Canton, O. Morgan will hop to Toledo for the big fight, however IF REPORTS from Boston are cor rect the Boston Braves will not be in the National League next season. These dispatches state also that the Boston franchise will be transferred to Toronto which is now running second to Baltimore in the Interna- tional League. To make this change the Boston club owners will have to receive the consent of all the club owners in major baseballdom and whether this will be granted is doubt full as there are many magnates who contend that if given strong team Boston would be one of the best stands in the National League.
 Managerial mistakes have brought about the downfall of the Braves, who once constituted one of the best pay ing clubs on the National League cir cult The attendance has dwindled down to an alarming degree and if Ih present owner of the Braves had his way he would transfer the club with out any further delay.
 rTHE FACT remains that Toronto
 4 will have major league ball next season. This much is certain. \ secret pact, it has just been learned, has been drawn up between the pow CTS that be in the majors and the owners of the Toronto club whereby the Leafs are guaranteed member ship In one of the majors next year.
 This is no secret, either, to certain rlagnates in the International League, for tfe owners of the Providence club in the Eastern League have been TT Otl1SeO IOTOnlO s IIdnCnlSe II iAe Fultz circuit. That Providence Will not be in the Eastern League next season is a certainty as Dan ONail virtually promised Benjamin Mou;ton and Mike Lynch of the GrayS that they would be given their freedom and allowed to go into the Inter pitIonal League in 1920 if they stood by the merger circuit men this season and packed the team.
 ID ASEBAIL IN Washington this b year is failure. This burg too. 1t is rumored in official circles, will be out of the American League and re- place Binghampton in the Inrerna- tiJnai League next year. The Wash ington franchise is expected to go 10 Brooklyn. Charles Ebbetts, owner ot the Dodgers, is said to be wil:ing to lease EbbettS Field to American League club. At present Ebbetts Field is without baseball games half the year as the Brooklyn team is on the road during that period.
 ID ELIABLE INFORMATION from IN Toledo estimates the probable gate for the Jess willard-Jack Demp- sey fight in the neighborhood of s700.000. Some writers have gone so far as to say that no one will be sur prised if the bout draws million dollar house. Which reads very well on paper, but, which, nevertheless, is very much exaggerated, for our in formant tells us that sS00,o0o is a fig ure plenty liberal enough.
 This gentleman has been on the scene for more than a month and has kept a close watch on everything that has been going on in Toledo. He is very close to Tex Rickard. While we cannot divulge his name, for various personal reasons, we will say that it is not our own popular Joe Mulvihill of Danbury. Our informant has gone over the seating arrangements with Rick ard and the crowd and has done some figuring with them. And now he comes to the conclusion that there wiIlbe about $500. 900 represented in the Arena on July Fourth.
 Tex Rickard & Company have a1- ready sold more than $390.0o0 worth of tickets and have reserva- tons that. when called for. will dou- ble that amount. No admission seats are being sold or will be sold until .he day of the fight.
