New York, Nov. 27.—Battling Le- vinsky outpointed Dan (Porky) Filynn in tho chief contest at the heavyweight show of the Harlem Sporting club last ht- Neither man showed much science and the bout was rather un- interesting. The men tried hardg, but neither showed any great ability. At the beginning Levinsky rushed Flvnn, but soon found that he could make little impression on the Bostonian by this methoa. In the third round Levinsky had driven Flynn to the ropes just when the bell sounded, and as Flynn put out his hand Levinsky came across with a left to the face that surprisza Flynn. After the fifth round Levin- sky fought more carefully, peppering his man with left jabs enough to earn the decision. Larry Williams of Bridgeport put Frank Hagney of Australia to sleep in th@, third round of their battle. It was a rough and tumble affair and in the third a left hook sent Hagney to the floor for a count of seven, As soon as Hagney got up Williams dropped him with a right to the jaw and he went down and out. Tom Cowler. 202 pounds, knocked out Tom McCarthy, who fought at 180 pounds. The bout was a good ones and in the second round Me- Carthy seemed to have the better un- til Cowler landed a right hook on Mc- Carty’s jaw just as the bell sounded. McCarthy hit his head hard and cut his tongue. His seconds iclaimed a foul on the ground that the blow was made after the bell. When the bell for the third round sounded McCar- ty’s handlers would not allow him to 8o on and Kid McPartland, the ref- sroe counted him our. WHERE CHAMPIONSHIPS WENT.

Atmospheric conditions for the game were the most unfavorable the two service teams have experienced in their annual meeting in years- A thick fog hung over Manhattan Island all forenoon, and at noon rain began falling. The gridiron at the Polo grounds, although protected by a layer of straw was expected to be heavy and slippery. Because of the heavier weight of the army team the uncertain footing was expected to give the soldiers an advantage over the sailors. Neither the foatball players nor the thousands of persons who planned to see the gridiron battle allowed the dis- agreeable weather conditions to In- terfere with their arrangements for the game. The battalions of West Point cadets and Annapolis midshipmen arrived on special trains from their academies in goad time for the game, both being accompanied by brass bands. The cadets will return to West Point to- night, but the midshipmen will be given their liberty until Sunday morning, Contingents Arrive, At 2:12 the navy team came on West Point, headed by the army band, marched on the gridiron and drilled for some time, At the ond of the field maneuvers the cadets marched into the stands. Just as the last group entered the stands the Army team ran on the field and the cadets rose and cheered while their yellow pennants turned the cheering section into a huge chrysan- themum. President Wilson and his fiancee, Mrs. Norman Galt and their Dparty drove onto the field in automobiles at 1:49 p, m. They stopped directly in front of the navy cheering section. A heavy rain was then falling. Shortly after 2 o'clock the belated Navy contingent swung into the field, headed by naval academy brass band and 4fter several evolutions mounted stand to their seats and the gridiron was cleared for the real actors of the day.

Oliphant on a fake kick formation made one vard around the Navy’'s left end. On the next play Gerhardt fumbled and it was the Navy's ball on their own 35-yard line.
