Referee Tommy Thomas slowly
tolled off the count: One to 10.
King Levinsky had been counted
out for the first time in his pugilistic
career, embracing n battles-in-
Guiding bouts with three champions:
Jack Dempsey, Jack Sharkey and
Primo Camera.
He didn't get up. He was cleanly
knocked out. His handlers pulled
him to his corner. He didn't know
what time it was. That's how Max
Baer, heavyweight champion of the
world, knocked out King LevinSky,
Chicago, in the second round of a
scheduled four-round battle fast
night at the Chicago Stadium.
Make Clowns First Round
The time of the finish was SO Sec
ondS OF the second round. Levinsky
had won the first round when Baer
chose to clown. Between rounds
Baer didn't even sit on his stool.
He took his rest standing up, and
came out scowling, ready to battle.
Baer waited in his corner until
Levinsky reached the center of the
ring. Then he moved out slowly,
stalking. The King threw a couple
of ineffective punches. Max moved
in close and smashed both fists to
the body. He drew back and then
moved in again, sinking left hooks
deep in Levinsky's midsection.
Another series of punches sent
Levinsky in swift retreat. AS King
moved backward along the ropes,
hurt and in distress for the first
time in his career, Baer grew vicious.
When he caught Levinsky again,
Max ripped in a right that hurt.
Then that vicious left came up from
the champions hip, and caught Le-
whisky flush on the chin.
Crowd Rises, King Falls
It was a perfect punch, delivered
like a champion. The crowd rose
in a wave and watched as Levinsky
fell unconscious and Baer calmly
moved to a neutral corner. 1t was
all over in flash.
In the dressing room after the
bout Baer's manager, Ancil Hoffman,
announced Max would defend his
title next September in Chicago.
Last nights bout drew gross re-
ceipts of $29, 985 SO. Baer's share was
40 per cent of the net, Levinsky's
is. Baer weighed I'll, one pound
more than he did when he won the
title from Camera last June. Lee
whisky weighed 201.
Lou Thomas, Indianapolis light
heavyweight, lost the decision to
Billy Treest, st. Charles, ILL.,, in a
four-round preliminary bout.

for the third OF a series of the lively
Paul (Tennessee) Lee, the dandy
little Indianapolis featherweight
who is a real croWd-pleaSer, made
short work of Emory Helms, Gin

smashed the Buckeye boy with a

lore more imam 6OUU persons.
The main event of the evening
was to have been a clash between
the varsitys of the schools, but the
Blue Devils kept thrills at a min
imum by starting off in the lead
and battling through to a 19-to-11
victory without ever being headed.
Six fouls were called before either
team scored, so close was the
guarding and general tusslng.
An overtime tilt between the sec
ond f1ves Of the two schools just
about stole the show by going into
an overtime. Shortridge B won, %
to %, when Schwartz made a free
throw. Garrett of Shortridge sent
the game into the extra period with
field goal in the last few seconds.

throws bounced off the basket be-
fore Kitzmiller sank one for Short
ridge on the sixth personal foul of
the clash, and Stevenson made it
3 to 0, Blue Devils. Dobbs sniped a
long field goal for Tech to make it
80.
Then Coach Kenneth PetermanS
squad went to work under leader
ship of Mueller and Kitzmiller and
when the quarter ended the North
Siders were out in front to 4. Pack,
Shortridge football star, went in at
center for Palmer, after the latter
had committed two fouls.
The second quarter was the one
that capsized the Green and White.
Tech never made a point the entire
quarter and Shortridge ran the
count up to 1874.
Keeping up their alright guard
ing in the third quarter, the Blue
Devils ran the score to 1914 before

Mueller Sinks Long One
Mocas and DObbs sank free throws
to close the gap to 1873 Mueller
of Shortridge dropped in field goal
from far out in left field and Coach

overtime victory for Shortridge III
the second-team game had popped
the North Siders up to a point where
they were unStoppable
The remainder of the game was
St devoted to hand-to- hand tussling

BUILDING HERE INCREASES IN
 MONTH OF NOV
Three Times Greater Than in Same Month in
 I933

Building operations in Waterbury during November were almost three times as great as they were in the same month of 1883. Figures released for the state as a whole show that the November construc- tion activities this year were very favorable and almost double the to- tai for November of 1898.
 Waterbury's total last month was $62,100. In November of 1883 the permits issued by the local building inspector involved a total of $22,200. Of the other four large cities of the. state, New Haven showed a fifty per cent drop in building activities during last month as compared with Novemb- Der. 1893. Hartford registered more than Q 100 per cent gain and Bridgeport had a total of $62,4 for last month as compared with
 Waterbury's figure compares ports, considering the difference in the size of the two cities.
 In November of 1883 building permits involving $699.76S were is sued in Connecticut as a whole. Last month the permits granted in- volved $1,005,479 in building &C., tivities. The gain in the state as a whole last month over November of 1893 was 43.S per cent. Nau- gatuck showed a considerable drop last month. In November, 1883. permits were taken out for $12,- 375 worth of building. Last month permits for only $1,000 worth of work were recorded.
 Torrington showed an increase. In. November. 1888, the total was $32,376. Last months figure was $41,9OS.

Philadelphia, Pirates, " Y. Giants M Deal
Davis May Return to N. Y.-Lloyd Waner Going to Philadelphia Cincinnati May Get Paul Waner
 for Chick Hafey-Trade Winds Blowing

New York, Dec 12-(UP) - Baseballs trade winds today blew up a triangular deal which involves the New York Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates.
 While the deal was not yet offi cial, baseball men believed that tEese clubs had completed an ar rangement whereby the Giants would send Pitcher Joe Bowman, Pitcher Al Smith and cash to the Phils in exchange for George Davis outfielder, who is a former giant. The Phillies would use Catcher A. Todd and at least part of the cash in a swap with the Pirates which would send Outfielder Lloyd Waner and Catcher Bob Grace to Phiia- delphia. -aSs .a3
 A definite announcement was ex- pected. by slird& 4 x ..s ss--,S ,,.s.sss,.A
 Another deal brewing would send Outvelder Chick Hafey from Gin cinnati to Pittsburgh in exchange for Paul Waner, outfielder, and cash. If this deal fails the Pirates might make some sort of a deal with the Boston Braves. The Pi- retes are known to want Outfielder Bob Lee.
 The National League club own CTS went into session immediately after luncheon. Two matters were certain to be brought to their at- tention:
 1. A request of the Chicago Cubs to reduce by half admission charges to children under 12 years. Since the esta ablished prices of the home clubs are agreed to by rival clubs, the Cubs would have to ob- tain permission to put in the re- duced rates, unless Chicago officials were to agree to make up the diff ference.
 2. A request from Powel Crosley of the Cincinnati Reds for permis- sion to hold seven night games in the 1885 season. Crosley believes that night baseball would prove q profitable venture and wants tn try it out by playing one such game with each rival club. Stiff objection was expected.
