Morgan Says Csrpentier-Levinsky Battle
 Will Take Place in Fall.

Sporting Editor, Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
 Battling J4evinsky. light heavyweight champion, and Georges Carpentier, the wonder man" will box either in the month of October or November for the light heavy weight championship of the world, weight 175 pounds ringsde.
 Mir. Descamps, representing Carpenter, has signed a contract extending the date of contest from July 2S to date not later than November, and I have done 'the same for Levinsky. It is possible that the contest may take place in October. But there is no doubt about the contest taking place, and it will show the public whether or not the Frenchman is fit opponent for the heavyweight champion. It would not do the boxing game any good for the boxing fans to pay big prices for seats to see a Dempsey-Carpentier bout and the contest to finish in round or two.
 If Carpenter whip Levinsky he will then have good grounds for a bout with the champion. for the Bsttler has easily whipped Billie Miskie. Bill Brennan. Bartley Madden Charlie Weinert and all the rest of the supposed heavyweight contenders, with the exception of Fred Fulton.
 Levinsky first with Carpenter. and if the Frenchman can whip the American cham pion then throw him into the ring with Dempsey and it will be . great battle,

TO OPPOSE BOXING LAW
Fourteen Massachusetts Clergymen Head Petition to Prevent Popular Sports-OtheE Individuals and Organizations Protest.

Boston, June 21-A petition bearing the signatures of IA clergymen as the first movef to prevent the new Massachusetts boxing law from going into effect September under the amendment to the Constitution has been filed with the secretary of state
 If the petitioners can file additional 15,000 signatures from four counties before that time the operation of the law will be held up, under the initiative and referendum amendment to the Constitution. and the question will have to be submitted to the voters at the next state election. In view of the fact that the Lords Day league and a number of churches behind the move- ment, it is regarded as likely that the requisite number of signatures will be ob- tained. The law provides for a boxing com mission. appointed by the government, and allows 1o-round professional bouts.
