IN DILLON BATTLE
Ancient Foe OutpOints HOosier Fighter
in All But Two of Ten Rounds
at Baltimore.

Baltimore, July 14-Jack Dillon OF
Indianapolis and Battling Levinsky of
New York, light heavyweights, fought
a 10-round nO-decision bOut-at Oriole
park here yesterday. The New Yorker
OutpOinted the Wooster in all but the
had shade the better of it, and the
fourth, which was even.
The bout originally was intended to
go Is rounds to d decision, but the
comparatively small attendance
brought about d lengthy discussion be
tween the boxers and promoters,
which resulted in a compromise. 1t
was announced the fighters had waiv-
ed their guarantees and agreed to a
10-rOund exhibition with no decision
The men fought somewhat cautious
~ during the first three rounds. There
was some tough work in the fourth
session, when Dillon forced the fight
ing and tried for a knockout Leyinsky
met him at his own game, however,
and both men hit and missed in equal
proportion.
Dillon kept trying for a knockout in
the fifth and sixth rounds, but Levin
sky's speedy left made him miss many
blows
The furious onslaught in the sew
enth, which was decidedly TO Levin
sky's advantage, seemed to give the
New Yorker more confidence and the
HOOsier was obliged to take severe
in the remaining rounds.
