Philadelphia Heavyweight Is
Picked by Spouse to Defeat
Carpenter in Jersey City
I2- -Rounder Tomorrow
Night
BY LOUIS X. JAFFE

"BARNEY is in great shape, He
says he is going to win; and II
Barney says he will win, am sure he
will, too" This Is the way Mrs. Bar
ney Levinsky predicted a victory today
for her battling husband when the
Philadelphian NETS Georges Carpenter
European heavyweight champion, in a
twelve round bout at the Jersey City
ball park tomorrow night.
"When Barney called mo on tho
long distance today ! never heard him
talk so confidently before any ut his
other bouts continued Mrs. Levinsky.
''lle says that he has trained faithfully,
will be stronger, faster aud will punch
harder than he ever did And any time
Barney says anything lie means it. He
isn't worrying about the result of the
tout with the Frenchlnan. He isn't
quite sure whether he wants to take a
chance on sea sickness for that $50, 900
match with BeCkert in London"
Tomorrow night will be Carpentirr 8
debut in America. lie came here to vie
fer the worlds hcavywCight title
against Jack Dempsey, but before meet
ing the latter, LcvIusky was picked for
Georges rs trial horse. If Carpcnticr
wins from LevinslGy there is hardly any
doubt that he will met Dempsey later
for the title, but If the Phiadclphian is
the victor then the Frenchman's ambi-
| tion of boxing the worlds champion
will be diSsipatPd.
That lcvinsky is the favorite to win
| from Carpenter may be taken from
the following predictions by men who
| have seen both in training:
JACK kEAtNS-L.ev .evlnsky will spill
