HALT BRIDGE PLANS.
shunganunSa Board and City Engin-
Ger Do Not Agree on Snecifications


The $4,000 bridge planned by the
city engineer department for the
Shunganunga at Lake street may be
begun in a short time, if the Shunga-
nunga drainage board will compro-
mise with the city engineer on certain
specifications for the bridge, City
Commissioner Hancock said today.
The drainage board disapproved the
specifications for the bridge as made
by City Engineer Baldry, the board
holding that the bridge should stand
two feet higher than plans allowed to
give more waterway. Hancock said
the city engineer would be able prob
ably to raise the bridge height eight
cen inches, but no higher.
No agreement was reached on the
bridge plans at the meeting of the
drainage board with City Engineer
Baldry and Commissioner Hancock

KEEP BOYS OFF STREETS
Chief Swallow Advises Parents to Pre-

A request that parents put a stop
to their children playing ball in the
public streets was made today by
Chief Swallow.
The fact that one boy recently was
killed and that others have been in
tured by motor cars while playing In
the streets, was cited by Chief Swal-
low as the foundation for his request
Nearly every day complaints come to
the police station.
Motorists and pedestrians have an
equal right to the streets" the chief
said. Sometimes we find one and
sometimes the other in error in case
of an accident. But the streets really
should not be used for a playground
and if parents will cooperate with US
in keeping their children out OF the
streets, it will doubtless prevent many
accidents and perhaps save lives. 1

W'ALLOP COUNTS
Battling Levinsky Tells of Big
Bout Set for July 2.
Their Styles Are Altogether
Different, He Says.

New York. May I3-Battling
Levinsky, former title holder of the
light heavyweights, is the only boxer
who has met both Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpenter.
His opinion of the pair who will
meet July for the worlds champion
ship ought TO be worth something.
The one who gets the first WALTON
across will win," the battler said to-
day
rounds and it took Carpenter four
rounds to do it but that doesn't
mean that Dempsey can hit harder
He got his opening first, that is all
Carpenter can hit just as hard
as Dempsey and he carries a knock
out punch in both hands.
THE style of Dempsey and Carpen-
tier is altogether different.
Dempsey is a rushing, jabbing
close fighter, the most powerful and
aggressive l ever met, and I mixed
with about every good heavyweight
in the class; The champion has the
most wicked body blows of any boxer
ever met. His most wicked and
Furnishing blow is port jab that
pounds the very life and all the
energy out of an opponent 1 know
it because 1 felt it from the very first
round. Dempsey is the best fighter
1 ever met.
Carpenters style is that of a
boxer. He is equally as fast as the
champion and altho he is not as
rugged and strong as Dempsey, his
better boxing ability offsets the point
and in addition he has a terrific
punch.
IF Dempsey fights his usual fight,
it is question, however, if Carpen-
tier will be able to box. Fighting
close, it is impossible to get a guard
against Dempsey's short body punches.
He drives into the midsection and
then shifts to the jaw
Dempsey also has more endurance
than he is generally credited with"
