FLOOR TO LEvINsKY.

Levinsky was discussing the Dempsey
punch with an Eastern writer the other
day and expressed the following opin-
ion: When Dempsey hit me l thought
a pile driver had fallen through the
roof and it was not until l had been
led from the ring that | realized what
had happened. He's too fast to be
eyaded because his blow has struck be-
fore you can duck, and when 1t con-
meets YOU are through for the night.
There is no way to get away from

Dempsey apparently has enough on
hand to win at all times and then a
little more up his sleeve.
He reminds one OF the gag pulled at
the old Phoenix one night by Tickle

A strong outfield array is presented.
For the left size of the garden we like
Jack Sullivan, of the Pels, for Sully can
field with any outfielder in the Dixie
circuit in addition to his ability to
knock the bally cover off the ball. Sui
ly covers a world Of ground in the out
field and during the year that is draw
ing to a close he has shown that he
is entitled to a berth on the all-star
team.
For center sully's running mate, Lar
ry Gilbert, is the logical choice. Lar
ripping Larry is the leading hitter Of
the Southern. In addition he Is the
leading basestealer. In addition he is
one Of the most valuable men on any
team in the league. Larry Is a great
outfielder, fleet of foot, keen of eye and
everything that goes to make up a good
outfielder. There's no suburbanite in
Dixie who has anything on Larry,
In right we like Hank Neusel, Of
Chattanooga, a 800 hitter and another
Gilbert when 1t comes to covering
ground, Neusel has shown that he has
everything that a headline Gutfielder
should have and would be easily a star
on a crack aggregation as is being
set forth herewith.
To manage this high class bunch a
high-class manager is needed. Kid
Elberfeld, Of the Travellers, is all of
that, and he would be ideal to handle
the reins over the cream of Dixie's
talent. The Kid is as smart a base
bann man as has ever performed In
any league. His long experience as a
player has made him wise in the
game of games, and when it comes to
directing play he is easily a jump
ahead OF the field. He is aggressive,
keeps his men hustling and gets all
possible work out of them. With such
a team he would have a hard time
losing a game.
This is the 1919 array. The league
never saw a better list Of men in its
long history.

In many respects he reminds one Of

Charley Grimm, Of Little Rock, as
grand a doorman as has performed in
the Southern since the days Of Jake
Daubert. Grimm is left-handed and

almost impossible stops in every game.

reason he is selected over all others,

fielding sensation ever since he has

revelation, he taking all kinds Of
drives and throwing runners out
from almost impossible positions.
His arm spells disaster for many
batters who are In the habit OF
