In bout marked by stirring nm
ish with the two boys standing at
close range and exchanging punches
in rapid-fire order, Johnny DUNDEE.
of New York, was outpointed by Joe
Shugrue, of Jersey City, In a, FAST
twelve-round bout before the water3
bury Comm Independent A. C. last
night. The contest lacked many of
the sensational features of the re-
cent ten-round bout between the same
boxers in New York.
The early rounds were in Dundee's
favor, the Italian boxer jumping in
and out with a speed that had Shu-
grue bewildered. Shugrue excelled In
six rounds, and three rounds were
even.
In the infighting Shugrue excelled
Dundee, the margin in this respect
being more than sufficient to offset
Dundee's cleaner hitting at long
range.
In the ten-round semi-final Buddy
Faulks, of Newark, outpointed Joe
Mooney, of New York.

ly discussed ten-round bout between
Packey Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons
