nNB FINDS extreme consolation in O the fact that the first three boxing permits have fallen into the hands of three experienced, honest. upright and intelligent gentlemen of the boxing game. Each branch of the sport is represented. Battling Le- vinsky who will conduct the first show on May represents the gen. tlemanly boxer-the sort that is credit to the game. Terry Lee, who will stage the second entertainment some time during the third week of May, typifes all that a competent and honest referee should be. Sammy Driver, who holds the third permit, has developed into one of the coun- try's ablest and best liked managers of boxers.
 With these three gentlemen con- ducting the first shows, the sport Is assured of an suspicious start for none of them will tolerate faking or stalling. Fans who attend the show that this trio is arranging need have no fear of receiving their moneys worth.
 This will be the first big fight that I will have conducted" said Battling Levinsky to the writer, "and I intend to put on bouts that will furnish ex- citement for the fans. I do not in tend getting one good champion or near-champion and stacking him against a lemon. I am looking for what I believe is a good and even match and when the two boxers slip through the ropes they will have to fight. There will be no stalling. The first sign there is of stalling out they will go.
 q believe boxing to be one of tho cleanest of our American sports and I will not stand by and see it abused. I am taking plenty of time securing a good match. l want boys who will consider the public. don't want any body who expects to get by only on his reputation. I am out to secure action for the public"
