ADDITIONAL SPORTS LEVINSKY, MAXIE WILL NOT SCRAP Lena's King's Sister, Is When Money Is Talked CHICAGO, Jan. 9 black eyes of Leaping Lena Levy, sister manager of her big brother, King Levinsky, snapped Sre today as bemoaned the loss of a fight with Max Schmeling, slated lor the Chicago stadium, February 16. The proposed bout fell through last night after a row over the division of the purse, Joe Jacobs, manager of the German, had demanded 37 per cent, with the expectation that Levinsky would accept per cent, but Jacobs didn't figure Leaping Lena in his expectation. She yelled and screamed that the Kingfish, her big brother, the conqueror of Jack Sharkey, was entitled to just as much money as Schemling. Unless he gets it, she said, there will be no fight.

"Why, the idea," she yelled, "why should that big Dutchman get more money than the king? Ain't he just ss much of an attraction? Didn't he fight 30 rounds with Max Baer and nexer get knocked off his feet and didn't Baer knock that Schmeling out? I'm telling the cockeyed world, he did. And didn't Jack Sharkey beat Schmeling? And didn't the Kingfish give Sharkey the pasting of his life? I'm telling you he did." "That's right Lena, you 'em," chimed in the Kir.gfish. Nurses Will Clash In Y. W. C.

DISTRICT PLAN FAVOREDBY KEE Congressman Says State's Population Would Be More Evenly Divided WASHINGTON, Jan.

9 Kee, Democrat, of Bluefield, W. says he favors the so- called Millendera-LaFon-Lilly plaris for reapportioning West Virginia's six congressional districts. The plan, which he said is embraced in bills introduced in the legislature by Senator Millehder and Delegates LaFon and Lilly, would shift the lines of all six districts. "I think it is the fairest plan proposed so far and think it will meet with the approval of all six members," Kee said. "The greatest difference in population between districts under the plan would be only about 8,000." Under the plan, Representative Ramsay, of the first district, would lose Marion county and would be given Harrison.

Representative second district, would give up Harrison, Doddridge, Ritchie, Gilmer and Webster counties and would gain Harbour, Roane and Kanawha. Representative Johnson, fourth district, would lose Roane and would gain Doddridge, Ritchie, Gilmer and Lincoln. Representative Kee, fifth district, would lose Wayne, Mingo and Lincoln counties and gain Greenbrier, Pocahontas and Pendleton. Representative Smith, sixth district, would lose Kanawha and gain Mingo and Wayne. The most important changes in the plan would be the shifting of Fairmont from the first to the second, ol Clarksburg from the third to the first and of Charleston from the sixth to the third.
