Last week, fighting Mickey Walker at the Chicago Stadium, Levinsky started out as though his pugilistic competence had suddenly become commensurate with his earning power. He ran out of his corner, danced about for two minutes waving his large hands in an awkward way, then whacked Walker's snubnosed face, first with a right, then with a hard left hook. Walker, dropped by the punches, got up before Referee Ed Purdy could start a count. He was groggy for the rest of the first round, wary for the next two, but he started a rally in the fourth.

...generic heads. Voters were asked to check their favorite kind of cinema, add remarks. Twelve million more such ballots will be distributed, by mail and in theatres, in the next six months.

Jack Sharkey of Boston, still the foremost U. S. contender for the heavyweight championship despite poor fights against Champion Max Schmeling and Middleweight Mickey Walker. Eight days before the fight, Sharkey inspected his left hand, discovered that his third and little fingers were slightly swollen at the knuckle. Convinced that such a hand was no fit instrument with which to assail the long lantern jaw of Primo Carnera, Sharkey called in four doctors...
...should be favorites again this year. Ninth pennant-winning team of Philadelphia's lean 68-year-old Manager Cornelius McGillicuddy ("Connie Mack"), the Athletics are handicapped by an injury to hardhitting Centre-fielder George William ("Mule") Haas. They still have a powerful offense, headed by Catcher Gordon Stanley ("Mickey") Cochrane, First-baseman James Emory ("Jimmy") Foxx, Outfielder Aloysius ("Al") Simmons, and the best pitching staff in either league. Best right-hander is George Livingston Earnshaw, Swarthmore graduate (1923). Best left-hander is Robert Moses Grove, who last week won his 30th victory of the season, an American League record...
