"If there has been any doubt as to who is the real light heavyweight champion of these United States it is dispelled today. Jack Dillon and Battling Levinsky, admittedly the two best bets in the division, met here last night and the Indianapolis 'man-killer' gave Bat as tasty a licking as Kansas City fans have seen in months. There was not a dissenting voice when referee E. Smith shoved Dillon's hand aloft at the end of 15 rounds of furious battling. Dillon was the aggressor throughout, and several times had the battler in distress." -Logansport Pharos Reporter
