MsTkks,a
By HENRY McLEMORE

PRINCETON, N. j., july l9.-AS
I walked today about Princeton S
quiet, lovely campus, with its air
Of culture and erudition, I some
how fell to thinking of Kingfish
Levinsky, Chicago's distinguished
halibut handler who will risk life
and limb in the ring with Joe
Louis one evening in August.
don't know just what brought
the Kingfish to mind; perhaps the
gay little violet I saw peeping from
beneath a mossy rock, or the saucy
little robin hopping about on the
lush, green sweep of lawn in front
of Nassau hall.
And the more I thought about
the Kingfish, the more I thought
how amazing it would be if, by
some strange prank of the gods
who pull the strings on the boys OF
the fancy, he should drop one OF
those barroom rights Of his on the
jawbone of Joe Louis, and knock
him as cold as one Of the halibuts
the King once juggled with such
deftness in the market place.
Don't tell me, who saw Braddock
whip Baer, that it can't happen.
When Braddock won the worlds
heavyweight championship it op-
ened the gates to anything. Grant
ed. I don't think it will happen.
But then, who would have guessed
that the King could drop one on
Jack Sharkeys jaw? Sharkey was
a master boxer, and knew MS share
of the answers, but King. after
ringing a few bells, started one
from right field that sat the Bos-
ton bad boy on his maximum glu-
/ timus.
Simple Strategy
That he will start swinging
rights at Louis from the bell is
certain. for that's all the King
knows. His is the simplest Of stra-
tegy, and he won't be afraid of the
Detroit Negro my contemporaries
are calling the fightingest black
man Of all times Until they fold
his arms and lay him away for
ever the Kingfish will believe that
he is the greatest fighter of all
time. His explanation of his knock
out by Baer makes it plain that he
King Levinsky, scored a great VIC
tory.
Remember" he tells you, i won
every bit Of that fight except 1or
10 seconds. Before foolishly turn
ed 10 wave and nod to an adrnirer,
I was beating his head off. Leap
ing Lena and me figured out where
won 10 seconds to 10 for Baer.'
If the fates should give LeVinSky
victory over Louis, and then guide
him on the the heavyweight cham
pionsfip (yes, yes, I know I'm
dreaming wild dreams this coun-
try would be given the greatest
one man show in the history Of the
world. The King wouldn't be con
tent with cutting Just one sWath
from coast TO coast and back again
he'd cut half dozen or more,
and each would be a little bit Wid-
er, a little bit wilder. a little bit
Weirder than the last. He'd be. IN
my opinion, the perfectly behaved
champion Meaning. that he'd have
absolutely no behavior
As champion LeVinsky would be
a great force for good in this coUn-
try. for q cUrfew law would be a
downright necessity with the King
roaming loose. And think Of the
benefits Of having the children Of
the nation safely inside their
homes at 9 O'Clock, where they
could watch mother and father
fight over the bridge table and who
