Kisses and booes greeted the deci- sion of Referee McAuliffe when he declared Young Levinsky the winner over Dan McNearney. the game Dan- bury battier, last night. at the Casino. Many in the crowd believed that the Danbury boy was entitled to a draw, if not the victory.
 The battle between this pair was the best exhibition of the evening.

Levinslxy start ed off like a ferocious animal of the tropical zone and rained showers of blows upon the Danburian. The lat ter succeeded in covering up, and after he gained a footing took the fight to his opponent in a style that won the admiration of the crowd.
 McNearney made a veritable ch0p- ping block of I.evinslSy's nose, plant ing jaIbs against the latters ''beak" in the sixth round. Levfnsky came back strong in the seventh despite the hot attacks of the Danbury lad and returned the compliments. The final round was even up. 'McNearney was cheered as he left the ring.

Hartford View
 Of Casino Fight

Sporting Editor Johnny Greene of the Hartford Courant, who covered last nights Bogash-DeIaney fight. voices the following opinion on the scrap:
 The bout was not a satisfac- tory affair. Bogash has been given credit for being fair at in fighting but he showed little of that in tonight's battle. For the first seven rounds he kept at long range and when he did rush in. Delaney's brilliant defense show ed off Bogash's punches. The Italian didn't hit a single real blow in these sessions. The fans were not impressed with the. way that Bogash fought, though Delaney was given a rous- ing ovation when he left the ring because he was on the short end of a to l and 10 to betting and there were plenty in the hall, apparently. who had risked a five or on him. Some were heard to say that it was 'in the game but in the opinion Of the writer, the men fought their best, Delaney's boxing and length of sta ture with his long snake like left-hand bothering Bogash while the fam ous crouch of the Italian made it practically impossible for the new champion to do any real fighting.
