 Chicago, Aug. s.-(UP).-safeiy past the King Levinslxy hurdle, Brown Joe Louis of Detroit looked today to an autumn meet- ing with former champion Maxie Baer and . half-million-dollar gate:
 The Detroit negro needed only slightly more than two minutes last night to lay Chicago's Kingash in the resin-nourished daisies, and be- fore Levinsky had changed into his street clothes was unofficiaNy but definitely booked to meet Baer m New York on Sept. 27.
 There have been better hghts than the one put on over Comiskey parks pitching box last night, and there have been infinitely worse ones, but that fight had one quRl- ity unequalled in the past decaue. The quality was that of terror dark, abject fear-and it was con tributed by Leaping Lena Krakow's kid brother, the Kingfish.
 stark TerfOF
 Nobody knows how he looks dur. ing one of those nightmares of fall- fig off, the Empire State building, but those who saw the king last night probably have good idea. Not one thing happened for nearly 45 seconds. Then Louis popped Levinsky on the head. The King seemed to consider this untoward development, and then decided to go down. He was up after a four count.
 Again Joe whipped out at his man, this time . right from not more than six inches, catching him on the jaw. Down went the King. He was shaking from the force of the blow and because he was just plain scared. Louis cracked out again and Levinsky went reeling backwards and sat in the ropes of neutral corner. And here came the show. The Kingfish, mortally afraid, mumbled something te Ref cree Norman McGarrity. The ref. cree waved Louis away and follow ed after him to raise his big brown arm to signal to the 39,195 spec tators the award of technical knockout.
 Oh, that was a show. No fight in the truce sence-Levinsky didn't even start a blow. No science of boxing for there were just three real blows. But the crowd which paid $192,s06.50 got its moneys worth.
 From the point of view of seri. ous student of contemporary deal- CTS In left hooks and rights to the jaw the fight was, however, a ma jor disappointment. It was sup posed to settle the question of Louis ability to absorb punishment as we'll as to dish 1t out. Obviously. it did no such thing and this will be Q very pleasant item for the Louis-Baer ballyhoo men to toy with.
 Next Is Baer
 Reports that Baer was being eased into 6 New York show with Louis were heard as the promot- CTS, fearing that rain might force a late postponement. hurried Louis and Levinsky into the ring. Up to that time 1t was assumed that Art Laslxy of California would be sent in against Louis in the New York affair.
 Mike Jacobs, front man for the Twentieth Century Sporting club. who had . hand in promoting last nights opus, had brought Lasky from California to prepare for Louis. But when Jacobs and his associates were assured that Baer's bum hands could be repaired in time, Lasky was shelved. Lasky was then offered an early Septem- Der fight with Louis in Detroit, but Lasky baked against fighting .n Joe's home town.
 Wild. scenes followed the Detroit negro's victory beneath the flood. light glares of Comiskey park. lo- cated in the heart of Chicago's Little Harlem"
 Negro sport fans, who made up a good part of the fight crowd, trooped through the darktown dis. trict shouting and singing.
