Written for the United Press.

NEW lOhh. Jct. d. ne oiiil ith
son young joe Shugrue, of Jersey
City isn't hailed as worlds lightweight
champion is that the New York boxing
law prohibits decisions. If decisions had
been permitted last night Shugrue would
have been officially declared the winner
over Lightweight Champion Freddie
Welsh.
In nine OF the ten rounds fought at
Madison Square Garden, Shugrue was
the aggressor and well in the lead.
There is wide difference of opinion
among sporting experts today whether
the other round was Welsh's or merely
draw. In that round, Welsh landed
more often, but the wallops Shugrue
sent home had more steam.
Four of six New York papers today
declare Shugrue won by a large margin.
The other two give the Jersey City
fighter Shade the better of the
bout.
Welsh constantly appeared to be saw
ing his right hand, which led to the
belief that he hurt it worse than he and
hi, manager will admit, during is scrap
with Yelle last week. He was decidedly
not in the same shape as when he
fought Ad Wolgast here. Shugrue, on
the other hand was in great condition
and apparently unmindful of the few
blows which Welsh managed to land
with full force Undoubtedly, the title
holder greatly mderestimated Shugrue
and paid the usual penalty.
