LOUIS WHIPS LEVINSKY IN FIRST ROUND Detroit Negro Sensation Scores Technical Knockout In Opener Chicago. Aug. 8— (U.R) —Safely i past the King Levinsky hurdle. I brown Joe Louis of Detroit looked ' forward today to an autumn meet-, ing with former champion Maxi"; Baer and a half inillion-dollar j gate. I The Detroit negro needed only , slightly more than two minutes j last night to lay Chicago s king-1 fish in the renin-nourished daisies, and before Ijevinsky had changed ■ into his street clothes was un-[ officially but definitely booked to meet Baer in New York on Sept. 27. There have been lietler fights than the one put on over Comis- ■ key park's pitching box last night, and there have been infinitely worse ones, but that fight ! had one quality unequalled in the past decade. The quality was ' that or terror—dark. dank, abject fear and it was contributed by j Leaping Lena Krakow’s kid. brother, the kingfish. Nobody knows how he looks during one of those nightmares of I falling off the Empire State] building, but those who saw the king last night probably have a good idea. Not one blooming. I blessed thing happened for nearly 45 eeconds. Then Louis popped | Levinsky on the head. The king I seemed to he considering this untoward development, and thenl decided to go down He was up, after a four-count. Again Joe whipped out at his man. this time a right from not | more than six inches catching; him on the jaw. Down went the] king. He wis shaking from the. force of the blow and because he war just plain scared. Ixtuis cracked out again and Levinsky went reeling backwards and satj in the ropes of a neutral corner. And here came the show. The kingfish, mortally afraid. | mumbled something to Referee Norman McGarrity. The referee [ waved Louis away and followed, after him to raise his big. brown I

arm to signal to the 39,195 spectators the award of technical knockout. Oh. that was a show. No fight in the true sense Levinsky didn't even start a blow. No science of boxing for there were just three ■real blow-. But the crowd which I paid $192,906.50 got its money's 1 worth. From the point of view of a 1 serimu- student of contemporary , i dealers in left hooks and rights [to the jaw the fight was. however. a major disappointment. It was supposed to settle the question of Louis* ability to absorb punishment as well as to dish it j out. Obviously, it did no such I thing and this will be a very pleasant item for the Louis-Baer | ballyhoo men to toy with. Reports that Baer was, being j caeed into a New York show with | Louis were heard as the promoti ers, fearing that rain might force a late postponement, hurried Louis and Levinsky into the ring, i'p to that time it was assumed that Art Lasky of California would be sent in against Louie in I the New York affair. Joe Louis Signs To Fight Max Baer Chicago, Aug. S —(UP) — Mike Ja obs. New York promoter, today arrang-d a 15 round heavyweight I 1 fight between Joe Louis of Detroit I who lust night knock d out King ! I Levinsky, and Max Baer of California. former heavyweight champion. 1 Site and date of the fight have ' n t y t been de ided. It is probable however, that it will occur sometime after mid-S pt-ember and it is i also probable that it will be held i either in N-w York or Chicago. — Drinking PartyEnds In Murders Henderson, Ky..

{YANKEES SPLIT DOUBLE HEADER Lou Gehrig Will Play 1,600th Consecutive Game Today New York. Aug. 8. —(U.R) —Henry 1 Lou Gehrig, baseball's "iron horse", passes another milestone in his diamond career today. ' When the New York Yankees ' met the Philadelphia Athletics at 1 the Yankee stadium. Gehrig will participate in his 1,600th consecutive major-league game, a record which should remain on the books for decades. On June 1, 1925, a husky, broadshouldered youth of 22 took his post at first-base for the Yankees. Every day since "Columbia lain , as he was known, has handled that assignment in every game the New Yorkers have played. The hours he has been in action dirring the [»ast decade add up to 135 days of 24 hours each with not time out for meals or rest. Only one person ever to approach 'this record was Everett Scott, also a Yankee, who played 1,307 consecutive contests. The end of another chapter in Lou's career finds him having one of his worst seasons. His batting ■ average today is a mere .323 compared to an all-time mark at the | end of the 1934 season of .345. He has cracked out only 1< homers [and a year ago he led the circuit with 49. Gehrig fattened his average yesterday with two hits in four attempts as the Yankees lost to the [Boston Red Sox in the opening -game of a double-header, 6-5. He went hitless in the second, which the Yankees won, 6-4. The New Yorkers stayed four games behind the league-leading Detroit Tigers, who were idle. The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians split, the Indians winning the first 5-2 j and the Sox the second, 2-1 in 10 innings. In the National league the leading New York Giants, although idle, increased their margin to games when the second-place Chicago Cugs lost. 6-0 to Pittsburgh. The third-place St. Louis Cardina's pulled up to within one game of the Cubs by defeating the Cincinnati Reds, 4-2. No other games were played in either league. Yesterday’s hero: Manager Joe Cronin of Boston’s Red Sox. whose homer in the ninth with two aboard defeated the Yankees in the opener. o STANDINGS National League W L Pct.

SPEECHES MAY BE PROTESTED U. S. Ambassador To Russia Objects To Communist Speeches Moscow. Aug. B—(UP8 —(UP) —A formal prjt st by American ambas<sador William C. Bullitt over s.peachee about the United Suites in the congress of the Third international i wa-3 forshadowed today. Bullitt has been watching developments at the congress ever since it started. It was understood today that he is seriously considering a pretest over speeches about strikes in the United States. Tom Mooney, and promotion of communism in America as a direct violation of the treaty on which Russian-American relations are Lised. Bullitt intends, it was learned, to consult the state department before acting, and to awnit the end of the congress in order that his protest, if made, ir.-iy be an all-embracing one. Linked up with the protest, possibly. is the distinct idea In foreign diplomatic quarters that in its surprising trend toward cooperation with Liberal parties in a world fight against fuscis.n the International is aiming merely at infiltrating into such parties and gaining control of them in hops of establishing communist regimes. Ostensibly there has be n a basic change in policy of thee? communist international, formed to promote | world revolution. Orders have been dispatched to communist parties all over tn? world to cooperate with literals against Fascism—in other w. rds to go on the defensive. Q
