ison Square Garden, New York, last
night. In accomplishing what was
generally believed beforehand to oe
a stupendous task, McAllister showed
the fight fans a style that was both
pleasing to watch and effective. This
young STRIPPING of fellow from the

a most proficient way and he had on
view in the Garden bout most beau
tiful assortment of all the clever
things that the most clever boxer
could hope to possess. McAllister is
truly a wonder. He won nearly all the
way throughout the fast ten rounds
of milling and he won in a way that
left no room for doubt. He won the
fight and he won friends and he made
an impression that Is sure to last for

McAllister, in defeating Levinsky,
surprised more than few Of the
smartest fellows in the game. Those
who had seen the Californian per-
form admitted that he was a clever
boxer. but said that Levinsky would
get TO his body and beat him into
submission in the clinches. But when
the issue came up-when Levinsky
attempted to carry out his plan of
battle OF nightingale discovered
that before him was man most
worthy of his steel and a man who
wouldn't allow an opponent to beat
him to pieces in the clinches, the same
as Levinsky has been beating most
of his men. That isn't the way Nc
Allister does business, though, and
he frustrated almost every attempt
on the part of LevinslSy to use his
body blows, especially after the sec
ond round.

The clever Californian fights not
unlike some of the famous old-tim-
ers. and he fights in a way like
Charley Welnert. Both McAllister
and Weinert have left hand of
which they are complete masters in
the game of hit and block. McAllis-
ter leads for the body with a straight
left like Weinert, but the Jersey
champion hooks his left to the body
even better than does McAllister.
Bob jabs to the face with the left as
If he were shooting out at target,
and he rarely misses in his attack.
He uses his right only occasionally,
but he crosses with 1t very we'll
whenever he puts 1t into play. At
blocking he is ne plus ultra, and the
only great thing about the fighting
game that McAllister hasn't got is
the blow soporific-the blow that puts
opponents into Sunderland. No,
McAllister hasn't got the punch in
the knockout, but he has the punch
in cleverness. He is a great boxer
and no mistake. He made the much
doomed Levinsky appear very medi-
OGRE at times, yet all in all Levin
sky put up a grand battle, and the
fight on the whole was a pretty one
to watch, and one that pleased the
spectators to their hearts content
C
The boy from the coast, besides his
rare cleverness, has a disposition that
is a winner. In the opening round,
Levinsky managed to get to Bob's
body in the clinches and he was pretty
successful in the second round. He
| also found McAllister rather easy to
hit in the breakaway, so, naturally,
he employed all his efforts to things
he was best at. But soon McAllister
| found a way to Illustrate Levinsky's
attack. He blocked his blows to the
face beautifully at all times, but he
finally discovered how to block his
attacks for the body. He clinched
quickly and high and stepped In close
at every attempt of Levinsky's to mix
it, and in that way he put the Battler
completely at sea. In fact, Levinsky
became so confused that he lost HE
bearings entirely at times and he
would duck his head and swing bi:
hands, although his opponent, figura-
lively. was miles away.
