Is amazing and his strength is mar
Velous. If he couldn't a little he
would be the champion of the world,
and he would be now receiving all
the praises, and more, than once upon
a time were heaped upon the great
Terrible Terry" McGovern. The best
blows of White were a dandy little
jab to the face that hurt when we'll
meant, a left hook to the face that
was Furnishing when 1t landed, but
he did his most effective work with
left jolts to the body, a proceeding
he did not start until the last three
rounds in the fight. White is i'm
pressive. He stands as straight as
an arrow, and he delivers his blows
from the shoulder. He holds his
hands exceedingly low for a twen-
tieth century boxer, but he is quick
enough to protect himself. He Is
cautious, and seems to lack fighting
spirit. He is an artist, in a way, and
appears anxious to accomplish his
| task with the least possible effort
and without mussing his hair. He
can punch-punch like a middle
| weight, but he don't do enough hit
ting for all the skill he possesses
| He is a strong fellow, and he never
appeared to tire, yet he allowed
Shugrue to carry the fight to him,
and to outpoint him when he might
have loosened up a little himself and
! have carried the day.

The contest was about the cleanest
ever seen in the ring Both boys were
fair to the last degree. Neither looked
for a mean advantage, and those who
Missed White because Of his quick re-
turn Immediately after clinch were
doing him an injustice He was we'll
within the rules. There was little
damage done. shugrue had a bruised
eye and skinned nose and his body
was red, but White bore not the GEM
blance of a mark when he left the
ring. The condition OF the men
| throughout the terrific ten rounds of
milling was about equal Once, in the
eighth round, Shugrue seemed to tire
a bit and slow up slightly, and In the
tenth round he couldn't Offset the
| lightning and effective attacks of his
man, but at no time was one or the
other In the slightest distress, though
| no two boys ever worked harder in
their born days to secure a. victory.

white is a small lightweight, and It
doesn't seem as II he was getting
any bigger as time goes on. The
conditions of the match called for 1873
| pounds at 6 o'clock on the night of
the contest, but White weighed only
1904 at ringside. Both boys were un-
der the stipulated weight at o'clock,
but Shugrue tipped the beam at 1891
pounds when he entered the ring. AS
the men stood UP for final instruc-
tions Shugrue looked the bigger and
when they stripped for action he ap-
peared to be even larger than he
really WAS. Whites one point was
his massive shoulders. They showed
he had the power. He could hit. too,
when he let go, but Shugrue kept
up Buch a lively attack that Charley

dropped his guard lower to protect
his ribs and White shifted his at
