Will Wild Bill Donovan's smile

Young Shugrue
Defeats White
In Fast Bout

Shugrue could not be given a de-
cision, yet the consensus of opin-
ion was that he should get credit
for a clean victory.
Young Shugrue forced the
fighting. White, cool and conf
dent, met the younger man s
rushes with left jabs and body
blows. But from the fourth
round, when White stumbled off
his balance and the Jersey City
boy hooked him In the stomach,
the battle was slightly one-sided.
White used his left hook ex-
clusively. Despite his loss last
night, friends are still touting
him as match for Welsh in a
return battle.
