BAT [EV|NSKY WINS
 FROM JACK DILLON
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BALTIMORE, July 13.-Jack Dillon of Indianapolis and Battling Levinsky of New York, light heavyweights fought d ten-round no-decision bout at Oriole park here today. The New Yorker outpointed the Hoosier in all but the first and sixth rounds in which Dillon had a shade the better of it and the fourth, which was even.
 The bout originally was intended to go l5 rounds to a decision but the comparatively small attendance brought about a lengthy discussion between the boxers and promoters which resulted in a compromise. It was announced the fighters rad waived their guarantees and agreed to put up ten-round exhibition with no decision. The men fought some what cautiously during the first three rounds. There was some rough work in the fourth when Dillon forced the fighting and tried for a knock out. Levinsky met him at his own game, however, and both men hit and missed in equal proportions
 Dillon kept trying for a knock out in the fifth and sixth rounds but Le- vinsky's speedy left made him miss many blows.
 The furious onslaught in the sey- enth which was decidedly to Levins- ky's advantage seemed to give the New Yorker more confidence and tho ! Hoosier was obliged to take severe punishment in the remaining rounds
 There were II women spectators.
