at naught the efforts Of his heavier OPP
ponent, Battling" Levinsky, Danny Nor
gan's light heavyweight, had matters his
own way with Jack Driscoll in ten rounds
at the Irving A. c. yesterday afternoon.
In at least seven out Of the ten rounds
Levinsky held the upper hand, and there
were several times when he had his man
