Battling Le vinsky' is hot on the trail of , Jess Willard, if you'll take it from Dan Morgan. The latter is the busy letter-writing manager of the battling one and he is gitating for a match. Danny has issued, a "Green Paper," compatible with the vari-colored pap ers of the European countries, in which the literary manager gets the following off Mb mindl: "Jess Willard to fight Jack John son." It sounds like a joke after Gunboat Smith outpointing him' in twenty rounds and Bearcat McMahon whipping him. at Youngstown, Ohio, a short time ago. Battling Levinsky has been trying to get Willard into a ring witihi him for the past year, but, up to date Big Jess refuses to box the Battler. Levinsky has whipped every heavyweight including Gunboat Smith and Bearcat McMahon and is ready to box Jess Willard undtsr any conditions. Levinsky thinks Willard is like a wooden Indian that cannot box. and is so slow that he is in his own way. "Now, if the promoters of Jess Willard will sign up for Levinsky the public will not be bothered with any more press stuff regarding Wil lard to box Johnson, since Levinsky j will wnip htm without any trouble and convince the sporting world! that Big Jess is a huge joke." 4 tS-tlMBNr .
