LMOST as big a surprise as Jack Dompsey’s record knockout of Fred Fulton was Indian Clay Turner's easy victory over Battling Levinaky, the clever Hebrew light heavyweight, at the Armory A. A. of Jersey City last night. A crowd which almost completely fined the spacious arena was on hand to see these two men battle. There Probably wasn't a fan in the house who didn’t think that Levinsky woud win hands down. It looked like a 100 to 1 Det against Turner, yet he had no trouble scoring over the Dan Morgan entry.

By William Abbott. (2 opening round in the na- tional singles championship on the West Side Club courts yes- terday resulted in easy victories for all those having fair chances of winning the big tennis title, It wa only light exercise for the favorite just a mere warming up for every one of ‘em except Harold Throck; morton, who found @ tartar in eigh* teen-year-old Harold Taylor of the Wet Side Club. Throckmorton, ¢s- caping many narrow. pinches, re- quired five sets and three hours of strenuous racquet work before young Mr. Taylor was-repulsed. This maten was by far the most interesting of the round. As for the other leaders in the na- tional tournament they had a most enjoyable session, the opposition was so easy and obliging. W. T. Tilden, winner of the Southampton ineet last week and a big favorite for tne national title, didn't have to leave the club house to win from Paul iibbons, who defaulted, “Lind” Murray, the tall walloping © Nfornian, just toyed with Jack Dud- ley, winning 6—2, 6—2, 6—0. For Mur.ay it was simply a case of pre- paring for the next match. Kumagae, the littled speckled brown man from Japan who has designs on the tennis trophy, only allowed Walter Pate four games in three sets, The Jap had his new net game working pretty smoothly and was never seriously threatened.
