what promises to be a $20O,O(
 Levinsky has nothing more than the chance of the wild swinger. Few outside of himself even profess to believe that this is enough against the well-oiled Louis.
 But Levinsky's rocking right found the target against such as Leo Lomski, Mickey Walker, Tom my Loughran, Jack Sharkey, Don McCorkindale, and Walter Neusel. and the strongest selling point of the impending battle is the possl- bility of what might happen if it connects with Louis well-cemented chin.
 Louis severest critics insist upon seeing him in trouble, and there IS no question, Can the young Ne fro take it?
 The clowning Levinsky realizes that this is his last crack at the more important money unless he makes a good showing. The King fish's fortune has been dissipated and bill collectors are waiting to swoop down upon him. Levinsky is the hungriest fighter of the two, and has showed it in his work in the north woods and at his sylvan retreat at Round Lake.
 Levinsky's Crazy Quilt
 Style May Bother Louis
 Levinsky appears to be coming in in better condition physically and mentally than he has since he bounced Sharkey around late in 1893.
 Louis generally is picked to flat ten Levinsky, but the Detroit youth will find the crazy quilt clouter or Chicago's west side much more mo- bile and cagier than the ponderous Primo Carnera-harder to hit and harder to hurt. Levinsky failed to go the distance on only one occa- sion. Baer finally tagged him in their third meeting and after 31 rounds, and then due largely to the Kingfish's carelessness.
 Levinsky is not yet 25, and. un- like Camera, hasn't lost the urge.
 Louis, the letter perfect boxer, perhaps is running more risk against one of the Levinsky type than he would be against a more capable warrior performing in the orthodox manner. There's no tel linz what Levinsky might do next.
 Jack Blackburn, the old light weight luminary who trains Louis, points out that the Detroit youth demonstrated that he could stand stormy weather in two early con- tests. and has an idea that he never again will be called upon to prove that he can straighten rubber knees.
 Benny Leonard is not among the doubters.
 'why can't Louis take it?" asks Leonard. "Joe has all the virility of youth at his command. Certain ly he'll take it, and he"ll get up if he. is floored. He has plenty of reserve energy. Anybody can be knocked down. Joe isn't any diff ferent than anybody else in that connection.
 Rhythm of His Body Source Of Louis Punching Power
 Louis is something altogether different in the fighting game. He has perfect coordination of mind and muscle. That's where he gets his great hitting power. It's the rhythm of his body that gives him so much force.
 "Louis is a natural born fighter who doesn't make any mistakes. His punches are short and snappy, which are accounted for by his manner of hitting. Watch him and you will see that force come right up from his heels and behind every blow there is that power which nobody can with stand.
 Louis as yet lacks full experi- ence," continues Leonard, as he watches the dexterous colored boy work at the outdoor Savoy A. C.. "As Joe goes along he will improve. Just now I notice that at times he Is open for a punch to the head.
 "I wouldn't be surprised to see Levinsky drop him, but as I said before, Joe will get up. Then he will be fury itself. Not the fool ishly furious kind you see so often the fellow who gets up and walks blindly in. Louis is smoother mechanic than that. He'll maneu- yer and await his opportunity. He's the most deliberate hitter I ever saw
 Leonard is convinced that none of the current heavyweights can successfully cope with Louis. He believes that Max Baer would be just as easy for the Afro-Ameri- can with the ice water in his veins as the others. and that the Butter fly Butcher Boy would find lily in his mitt inside of six rounds.
 It would be inadvisable for Le- vinsky to chat with Leonard prior to sidling through the ropes for mortal combat with Louis.
