MORGAN Asks $4,000, Which Pro-

NEW YORK, November 30.-The
battle arranged between Freddy Welsh,
lightweight champion boxer OF tho
world, and Young Joe Shugrue, of
flstlc encounter scheduled ut the local
clubs this week. These lads have at
last agreed as to weight, 1876 pounds. ut
. O'Clock Wednesday,. the day, of the
batt1ol
When 1t is recalled that ShuErue has
earned popular decisions over Leach
Cross. Johnny Lore, Walter Mohr and
trimmed the two Australian top-
notchers. Herb Mccoy and Hugh Me-
hogan, Shugrue easily figures among
the first brigade of llghtweights. He
is very fast boxer, always shifting
in and out. thereby bringing his rapid
fire artillery into play. His almost con-
tinuous stream or "one-two" punches
n left and right hook delivered In quick
succession--is tho assault that has
usually worn down his opponent and
given him victory. He is Il hard hit
ting boy for his weight, and Is game
to tho core
Nobody knows moro about Shugrues
boxing ability than Freddy Welsh
The champion has repeatedly said he
considers Shugrue the most dangerous
boy in the lightweight division among
tho American boxers. Welsh has such
great respect for Shugrue that he tried
to pin him down to 1873 pounds ut 3
o'clock on tho afternoon of the match
while he would enter the ring mt catch
weights.
Shugrue, fearful that II he did not
accede to these terms the bout would
fall through. consented But his man.
ager, Peter Fitzgerald. held out for
SO pounds, tho English championship
weight. for both boxers, and won his
point.
Welsl, Ia gambling his lightweight
title against the punch OF Shugrue. for
Knockout would give the American
that title. Welsh's clever defense and
fast fighting are 30 great, however.
