KING LEVINSKY ASKS FOR FIGHT TO BE STOPPED
BLACK MENACE ONLY ONCE STRUCK BY HIS OPPONENT
CHICAGO, Aug. 7.
In just two minutes and 21 seconds Joe Louis, the most sensational heavyweight since Jack Dempsey, reduced King Levinsky to helplessness before a howling crowd of some 70,000 at Comisky Park to-night. The Brown Bomber from Detroit with dynamite in both fists was awarded the victory by a technical knock- out before the first round was finished, though the scrap was scheduled to go to 10.
Levinsky, wild-swinging Jewistej fighter, was downed four times by the Negro youth and was sitting on the bottom rope in a neutral corner when Raforce Norman McGarrity stopped the fight.

Lincoln, Nebraska, July 15. Another Negro athlete, Eulase Peacock, of Tample University, has leaped into the spotlight by administering a stunning sot back to Jesse Owens, most talked-of track and field star since the days of the famous North American Indian, Jim Thorpe, and breaking two world records into the bargain.
