TO REMAIN IN BED
Boxer Threatened With Nervous
Breakdown Expected to Be
0kay Within Two Weeks.

BY the Associated Press.
OHICAGO, May 18.-Mr. Kingfsh
" Levinsky, the celebrated patient
who fears no man, must remain
in his hospital bed until Monday, DR..
w. Morley Sherin, his physician, said
today in announcing his patient was
showing steady improvement.
Within two weeks, DR.. Sherin said,
Levinsky probably will be able to re-
turn to Los Angeles for his engage
ment with Art Lasky, Minneapolis
heavyweight. The fight was supposed
to have been held last Tuesday night,
but Levinsky, with his encourage, sud-
denly returned to his home lot on the
plea that he was suffering or about
to suffer a nervous breakdown due to
too much training.
The Kingfish is in a highly nervous
mental condition, but organically
sound, according to DR.. Frank La
eorio, who examined him yesterday at
the request of the Illinois State Ath-
letic Commission.
Chairman Triner of the Illinois
commission, said tonight Levinsky
would not be allowed to box In Chi
cago until he had fulfilled his Cali
fornia engagement because Illinois
has a working agreement with Cali
fornia as well as New York.
