division, was the favorite today
to defeat King Levinsky, Chicago
heavyweight, when the two meet
In a 10-round bout.
Slattery is expected to outlook
and outmaneuver the former
Chicago fish peddler much the
same way he did last fall, when
judges awarded the decision to

kings punching power.
Slattery ruled a 9-to-5 favorite
today to reverse the verdict Of
