ID The Kingf1sh Levinsky
~ Marching and Jeering So
ciety is organizing another
forced march and perhaps an
evening of good cheer for its paid
up members. The Kingfisher is
due to exchange fistic amenities
with Primo Carnera, Italy's offer
Ing to end the depression among
the grocers and butchers, at the
Chicago Stadium Wednesday
night. Hence the late Fall ac-
tlVlty in the LeVinsky NJ. and J.
Club.
The Leyinsky Marching and Jeering
| society was organized for the prime
purpose OF seeing the Maxwell Street
Ilsh merchant stretched in horizontal
/ position by we'll directed right or left
| from some murderous- minded opponent.
SO far, nothing but bitter disappoint-
| ment has been the dividend of the
Marching and Jeering Society. The
proud scion of the Leyinskys has taken
the best that Jack Dempsey, Max Baer
and other well known maulers have
had to offer and while frequently OUT
diStanced always remained upright on
his feet when the last bell rang.
Nov the society is backing Primo.
Y the big Italian, to knock the King
fisher legally unconscious. OF
| course, Carnera cannot box much, but
neither can Levinsky, SO that starts
them of all square and opens up q
vista Of wild slugging and clutching. II
Primo ever succeeds in laying one of
his huge hands flush on the Levinsky
chin the Kinghsh will either go down
or there will be an investigation to
learn who were the other three guys in
the ring; which is strictly against the
rules even when fighting Carnera.
OF course, there always is a chance
that it may be the Kingfsh who will
be knocker instead of the knockee.
One thing Levinsky does best, inside the
ropes, is to bore in and slug He
Swapped them with Dempsey and Baer
and still stood up and perhaps he can
do as much for Primo. At any rate,
the Kingtish will be trying; he never
fails in that.
IT might be a good thing II one
L or the other were knocked out.
Levinsky never will be a champion,
but his successes in the last year have
kept him in the foreground Of the
heavyweight ranks and he Is a nuisance
to the lads who would like shot at
Sharkey or Schmeling without stopping
off to battle the fish peddler. Car
nera is talking about his right to O
match with either Baer or Schmeling
and he can be knocked out without
causing any grief on the part of the
two Makes. Camera probably Is several
miles removed from championship cali
Der, but he is an annoying fellow to
fight and not good tonic for a fellow
with eyes on Championship bout.
Levinsky, who never admits any one
can do anything better than himself,
now is willing to enter into an open
free-Style eating contest with Camera.
The large italian Is said to consume
the greater part Of a beef at one sit
ting with all the side accessories and
is barred from all competition Of the
American Amateur Pie-Eating Associa-
tion.
THE Kingfisher is resentful OF Primos
i reputed appetite and entered into
training for gastronomic contest
by doing right well when matched with
24-pound turkey on Thanksgiving
afternoon. In fact, Levinsky won over
the turkey by such margin that he
celebrated by failing to appear for his
gymnasium workout Friday.
Camera notified Matchmaker Nate
Lewis of the Chicago Stadium that he
is a candidate for match with either
Baer or Schmeling in bout that Is
being proposed for Chicago next Sum-
mer when the world fair will be in
progress.
