OIlANEA POA - SNAb1A
CHICAGO, Aug. 3. U.P)-Safely
past the King Levinsky hurdle, Joe
Louis of Detroit looked forward to-
day to an autumn meeting with
former Champion Make Baer and
a half-million-do dollar gate.
The Detroit Negro needed only
slightly more than two minutes last
night to lay Chicago's Kingfish
among the resin-nourished daisies.
And before Leyinsky had changed
into his street clothes Louis was
unofficially but definitely booked
to meet Baer in New York on Sept.
27.
There have been better fights
than the one put on over Comiskey
parks pitching box last night, and
there have been infinitely worse
ones, but that fight had one quail
ity unequalled in the past decade.
The quality was that of terror
dark, dank, abject fear-and it was
contributed by "Leapin' Lena"
Krakow's kid brother, the King
fish.
Nobody knows how he looks dur
ing one of those Nightmares of fall
ing off the Empire State building,
but those who saw the King last
night probably have a good idea.
Not one blooming, blessed thing
happened for near 45 seconds.
Then Louis popped Levinsky on
the head. The King seemed to be
considering this untoWard develop
ment, and then decided to go down.
He was up after a four-count.
Again Joe whipped out at his
more than six inches, catching him
in 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 a neutral corner. And here came
the show. The Kingfish, mortally
afraid, mumbled something to Ref
cree Norman Mccarthy. The ref
cree waved Louis away and follow
ed after him to raise his big, brown
arm to signal to the 80, 1875 specta-
tors the award of technical knock
out.
Oh, that was show. No fight in
the true sense-Levinsky didn't
even start a blow. No science of
boxing for there were just three
real blows. But the crowd which
paid $192,906.50, got its moneys
worth.
Lasky Eased Out
From the point of view of SER
ious student of contemporary deal
ers in left hooks and rights to the
Jaw the fight was, however, ma
jor disappointment. 1t was sup
posed to settle the question of
Louis ability to absorb punishment
as we'll as to dish it out. Obvious
ly, it did no sue hthing and this
will be a very pleasant item for
the Louis Baer ballyhoo men to toy
with.
Reports that Baer was being
eased into a New York show with
Louis were heard as the promoters,
fearing that rain might force late
postponement, hurried Louis and
Levinsky into the ring. UP to that
time it was assumed that Art Las
ky of California would be sent III

Escobar Defeats
Norwegian Boxer

MONTREAL, Aug. 8. U.P)-SiXto
Escobar, flaShy Puerto Rican, had
slice of the bantamweight cham
pionship, which Panama Al Brown
recently vacated, in his possession
today.
Escobar defeated Pete Sanstol OF
Norway in a 12-round fight last
night and gained recognition as
champion by the Montreal Athletic
commission. The National Boxing
association regards him as a leading
contender for the vacant crown
and the New York State Athletic
commission already has declared it
will recognize the winner of the Es-
cobar-Lou Salica fight in New York
next week as its champion.
The Puerto Rican won nine
rounds and three were even.

BAER-LOU|S
BOUT SIGNED
Men Will Battle Fifteen Rounds
In Either New York Or Chicago
During September

CHICAGO, Aug. 8. U.P) - Mike
Jacobs, New York promoter, ar
ranged today 15-round heavy
weight fight between Joe Louis of
Detroit, who last night knocked out
King Levinsky, and Max Baer of
California, former heavyweight
champion.
Site and date of the fight have
not yet been decided. 1t is prob
able however, that it will occur
sometime after mid-September and
1t is also probable that it will be
held either in New York or Chicago.
This was a surprising develop
ment for when the fight was in the
making it was assumed that it
would be a milk fund show in which
the Hearst newspapers, sponsors
of that charitable organization,
would have a part
Jacobs said that he might agree
ito cut in the milk fund for 10 per
cent, but only if the fight is held
in New York"
Jacobs today signed a contract
with Ancil Hoffman, Baer's man
ager. He already held a contract
for the services of Louis.
I'm going to see certain people
here today about holding the fight
in Chicago" Jacobs said. II also
have a New York proposition to
listen to. I will hold the fight in
the city which 1 figure will make
me the most money"
If New York is selected Yankee
stadium will be the site and if Chi
cago is chosen the bout will be held
at Soldier Field, the promoter said
Immediately after the contracts
were signed, Hoffman left for Spec
ulator, New York, with the idea of
choosing the fight camp there as a
training site for Baer, if the bout is
slated for New York.
Hoffman assured Jacobs that
Baer's injured hands would be III
shape within two weeks.
Jacobs emphasized that the Basr-
Louis fight is personal venture.
'All contracts were signed by
Michael 6. Jacobs and nobody but
me has any real say in the matter" !"

BY HENRY McLEMORE

|
CHICAGO, Aug 8.-The referee
called them to the middle of the
ring.
On his left was the chocolate
colored Negro, cold and expression
| less. His eyes were open and un-
| blinking as those of a snake. Stand
| ing there under the floodlights Joe
Louis was as motionleSs as a statue.
On the referees right was King
Levinsky. He looked scared. His
fat. blubbery face twitched. He
looked at Louis and grinned a
| friendly grin. The grin died OIL
his face as the Negro answered the
overture with blank, mean stare.
Keep EN- up, and come out
fighting" the referee said.
He waved them to their corners.
The bell rang.
Louis, his face a mask, shuffled
out, his hands cooked.
Leyinsky, his skin an unhealthy
white under the fl0odlightS, plod-
ded out with the hesitating step of
condemned man walking the last
mile.
I turned to Barney Ross, the well
terweight champion, sitting on my
left.
'Levinsky looks godawful scared
to me-" I said.
Hes paralyzed," Barney said.
1T won't go a round"
AS he spoke Louis, from in close,
threw a left hook. 1t Travelled no
more than a foot, and with the
speed of light. 1t landed with a
nasty crack. Flush on the paw.
"Oh my Lord, it's over!" Barney
said. "Re's got him."
LevinSkys mouth flew open. He
sagged all over.
But he didn't go down. Somehow
he managed to keep his balance
and, mechanically, stumbled in
toward Louis, hoping for a shelter
ing clinch.
The Negro, eXpreSSionleSs as a
Buddha, showed him off, and cir
cled, looking for an opening.
You felt as though you were
watching hunter circling a strick-
en- beast.
Falls Apart
Suddenly Louis saw his target.
He shot his right, He hooked a
wicked left He threw another
right. Another left. Levinsky,
nailed and nailed again, began fall
ing apart. His legs went first.
Then his middle. Then his chin
dropped on his chest.
God, l can't watch It'll" Ross said.
Those punches hurt too much"
Levinsky poured out on the floor.
"One-uh, two-uh, three-uh, four
uh!" tolled the referee.
At "four-uh," the King, a game
ster to the last, lifted himself to
squatting position. His blank eyes
tried to locate his tormentor He
doubled his helpless fists. Then he
started settling back to the can
vas. AS he fell back he landed on
the stool in the corner of the ring.
There he sat, stupid, inert. Above
him, fists cooked and leveled, stood
Louis.
King turned toward the referee
and started mumbling through
thick lips.
Hes out of his head" Barney
said. IF he gets up he'll get
killed"
But up he got. AS he stood erect
Louis, with the coldneSS of a Sniper,
whipped a left hook into his belly.
That's ALL" Barney said. Il
cant watch any more. JeeZ, that
last one must have turned him in
side out"
Barney was right-that was all.
King slumped against the ropes.
He was out of his mind
The Negro pulled back the long
bow that is his right for another
blast.
Then the referee stepped in.
Louis, the killer man from Ala
bam', had killed again.

SOVIET TRACTORS COVER 63
PER CENT MORE LAND IN
1885 THAN IN 1884

-MOSCOW.-(FP)-An increase OF
about 63 per cent in acreage covered by
Soviet tractors in 1885 as compared
with 1884 is revealed in recent statis-
tics on the utilization Of tractors in
agriculture.
During the present farm season, trac-
tors worked 148, 906,776 acres, an in
Of 5S,54292o acres over last year
at this time.
Such growth is due not only to a
considerable increase in the number OF
tractors, but to a better utilization OF
these machines. Last year at this time
for example, tractors on collective
farms averaged 54S.1 acres; this year
the figure is 62S.4 acres, an improve
ment Of about IA per cent.
In many regions, tractors have oy-
cred record areas. In Tartaria, for
example, tractors have averaged plow-
ing 1,09l.5 acres as compared with
o46 last year.

sonal representative will be in Butte

When Automobiles
Strike Head-On

The modern death-trap is likely to
be a straight stretch with three lanes
of traffic IL like the notorious Astor
Flats on the Albany Post Road, in New
York, where there have been as many
as q fatalities in n summer month,
saws F. c. Furnas, writing in the Aug
ust issue of Readers Digest. With the
idea Of shocking the motorist into a
realization of the consequences of care
less driving Mr.. Furnass then proceeds
to give the following gruesome account
of a smash-up on this stretch Of high
way.
This sudden vision OF broad, straight
road tempts many an ordinarily SEN
sible driver into passing the man ahead.
simultaneously a driver coming the
other way swings out at high speed.
AT the last moment each tries to get
into line again, but the gaps are closed.
AS the cars in line are forced into the
ditch TO capsize OF crash fences, the
passers meet, almost head on.
A trooper described such an accident
IL five cars in II mess, seven killed
on the spot, two dead on the way 70
the hospital, two more dead in the long
run. He remembered it far more Wv
idly than he wanted to - the quick
way the doctor turned away from a
dead man to check up on a woman with
a broken back; the three bodies out
of one car so soaked with oil from
the crankcase that they looked like
wet brown cigars and not human al
all: a man walking around and babbl-
ing to himself, oblivious Of the dead
and dying, even oblivious Of the dag
qer-like silver OF steel that stuck Out
OF his streaming wrist; a pretty CIR
with her forehead laid open, trying
hopelessly to crawl out of a ditch il
spite OF her smashed hip. A first-clas:
massacre of that sort is only a ques-
ton Of scale and numbers II seven cor
pses are no deader than one. Eacl
shattered man. woman or child whC
went to make up the 10000 corpsei
chalked up last year had to die a per.
sonal death.

TRADES COUNCIL
NEWS

The Musicians reported that a salts
factory adjustment has been made with
Cote's Good Luck Inn, commonly
known as the 4-Mile House. This
place Of business was put on the I'M
fair list last week on account of some
difficulty that had arisen over the
ployment Of musicians who were not
members of the Musicians union.
When the position Of the Musicians
union was explained to the proprietor,
a settlement wa effected Immediately.
Last week Andy Ehrick was seated
as a delegate from the Carpenters I'm
ion. Andy has been a consistent mem
Der of the Silver Bow Trades and La
Dor Council for the last twenty five
years. He has grown mellow in the
service of the labor unions. He has
a very engaging disposition. Time has
only served to deepen the genial kind
ness OF his nature. Looking back over
the last twenty years, Andy Ehrick then
presented a picture of kind and consid-
crate regard for the feelings and posi-
ton Of those with whom he came in
contact. He makes a very happy and
valuable addition to the family COM
posing the Trades and Labor Council.
Delegate Moore OF the Musicians
Union was appointed a member Of the
Organization Committee. Reid Robin
son has been doing some fine work on
this board and announced that it was
with regret that he was compelled to
sever his connection with the commit
tee. There is a vast field Of labor yet
to be done by this committee and one
Of the principal tasks that should be
undertaken Immediately is the organ
%ization of the stenographers and Of
flee workers. This situation brings
something rather new to the labor NOV
ement, namely that many OF these work
ers have asked for assistance in Great
ing a labor organization. Usually more
or less difficulty is experienced in get
ting an organization originated. It looks
like the first task of Moore and his
associates on this committee should be
to Immediately draw these people into
a trade union. We are looking for
some results to this end.
Robinson, last night in some refer
ence to the proposed Montana State
Mining Council, seemed to be in doubt
as to its Legitimacy. A similar organ
~ization has been set up in Utah &C
cording to the conversation and the
legality of the organization there, was
made reference to. A number of the
most informed members of the Trades
and Labor Council thought that the
State Mining Council did not conflict
with any of the other A. F. of L. or
CARNATIONS such as the State Fedora
ton Of Labor. 1t would seem that a
council composed of all the trade local;
Of the mining industry would be a
good thing. There is a state confer
ence Of typographical unions, a state
electrical organization, a state counci
of carpenters and other trades have
their state bodies, all affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.

FOR new PARTY

Montana is ripe for a Farmer La
Dor party" says Howard Y. Williams,
national organizer OF the Farmer La
Dor Political Federation, after a week
spent in the state holding meetings and
conferences at Glendive, Wolf Point,
Miles City, Billings, and Livingston end
ing with a conference of state leaders
at Butte.
Both labor and farm leaders are on
WINGED that the profit system cannot
be patched up and are for a new party
based or production for use and SER
vice. This state has certainly moved
rapidly to the left since my last visit.
The Miners Union is already publicly
committed to a new party to break the
hold that the Anaconda Copper Mining
Co. has upon the state.
with gasoline selling at rs cents a
gallon and electricity at similarly high
rates the citizens are aroused to their
exploitation.
THE Farmers Union convention
meets at Livingston Oct. 1919. The
Liberal Progressive League headed by
Senator Bernard Garrison OF Dillon has
set its meeting for Oct. 1920 at the
same place. 1t is expected that the
growing sentiment of the state for a
new party will crystalline in these two
gatherings and that a Farmer Labor
party will result.
"The Butte conference requested that
Congressman Ernest Lundeen OF Min
nesota be sent into the state for a ser
les Of meetings to increase the interest
and help in the educational work.
Mr.. Williams is speaking this week
in Idaho, having given the Labor Day
address at Pocatello, addressing the
