New York, Dec. 81 sat at the ring

every blow that was landed. 1t was all
interesting affair, and the big crowd
seemed TO enjoy it very much.
Notwithstanding Whites great show

that Shugrue had slightly the better of
it. Whites good showing in the eighth
and tenth rounds were hardly enough,
in my opinion, to earn him a draw.

RUNYON GIVES
white DECISION
New York Leading Sport
Writer Thinks Chicago Boy
Beat Shugrue.
HAD A SLIGHT MARGIN
Directly Opposite Type of Ring Gen
erals Will Keep Fans Talk
= ing Of Winner.
BY DAMON RUNYON.

New York Dec. gas long as the
their home State the inhabitants of
Jersey City will believe that their
favorite son. Joe Shugrue, beat Charlie
White at Madison Square Garden to-
night
Until Lake Michigan goes dry the
small posse OF Chicagoans present at
the ringside will be telling their neigh
boris that White was best. 1t was that
close.
In the opinion of this writer. White
had a slight margin at the close of the
tenth round, a round that pad behind II
twenty-seven minutes filled with more
fighting than the New York fight fan
generally sees in a whole winter. They
were fighting head to head when the
gong ended the battle and their REDEEM
ed gloves met in a final handclasp. They
had been fighting that way most of the
evening.
II was a meeting of directly opposite
types of ring men. This White is a
serious. shin-legged. thin-lipped lad with
the face of a musician and the heart of
n swordsman of old France. The Shug-
rue type is the bulldog. to pick a
familiar simile. Rough and rugged. and
not handsome to look upon, the boy
from Jersey City knows but one way
of travelling when his feet commence
TO raise the resin dust. He marches in.
He is always marching in. He has a
queer bounce to his movements. but he
never stops moving. So he fought to-
might and much might be made of his
aggression. His nose bleeding. his wet
hair Hopping on his head, and his arms
constantly swinging With wicked in
tent, he kept close TO that thin, shifting
frame of the Chicago lad throughout
the ten rounds, but White had a way
of driving his hands through that storm
of swings to the Scared face of the
Jerseyite.
There were no clean knockdowns
Once White slipped and half fell as he
fled from a sweeping body blow. On sew
cral occasions the rush Of the Jerseyman
carried the slim ChiCagoan into the ropes.
Time after time they met in the center
of the ring and hung there in a wild
maelstrom Of blows. while the crowd
roarcd with the lust of battle. There
will be many an argument about this
fight in the days to come. Opinion was
widely divided at the finish. but there
was no division on the proposition that
it had been a great fight. and Joseph

Manager O'Hara Fails to See Need
for Machines in the
April Meet.

Baltimore. Md, Dec Elm spite OF
the combined efforts OF a number of per-
sons who insist on giving somebody some
thing they do not Want, there will be
no pari-mutuel betting machines installed
at the Bowie track for the spring meet
ing, which will be held the first fifteen
days in April. Recently a number Of
persons have been trying to convince the
management that the machines should
be installed at the new race track in
place of the bookmakers, who were in
the ring during the inaugural meeting
held at the track the first of October
although it is the opinion of many IA
miliar with the desire of the public that
the boOkies is what the public want.
In speaking of the matter today, Cen
eral Manager James +. O'Hara said that
he is perfectly willing to give the public
what it wants. but, up to the present
time he has not been able to see that
the majority of the race track followers
are in favor of the iron men. He said
that after the meeting in April, IL 1t is
shown that the old way of betting is
not what is wanted, steps will be taken
to put in the mchines.

JOHNSON TAKES HAND
IN new YORK deal
Interesting Problems Regarding Play
ers Contracts to Be Solved
Before Purchase.

New York. Dec. @9.-Ban johnson has
come on Il hurry-up trip TO New York 10
take hand in the final negotiations for
the Yanks, and right OFF the reel he is
confronted with some rather interesting
problems.
The prospective owners. for instance,
want to know when a ball players con-
tract is binding and when 1t is not.
In purchasing a club 1t is natural for
the would-be purchaser to suppose that
the players belonging to that club are
TO be included in the transfer. That is
what Col. Rupert and Capt. Huston
think, and IT is up 10 Ban johnson TO
decide.
These players may or may not belong
to the club according to the clauses
in their contracts and the interpreta-
ton the courts have put on those clauses.
In other words, II the Ruppert-Huston
combination should purchase the contract
of a player and that contract should
prove 10 be no good. who is to make
ii good? Further, are these contracts to
be guaranteed or are the purchasers to
take their chances?
Quite a number OF the HighIanders
have not signed contracts for the coming
season. though they are considered
members of tine New York club on the
strength of the reserve clause in their
contracts. But are they?
1t is rumOred that the Federal League
is after several of the players-Fritz
Maisel and Roger PeCkinpaugh, for in
stance. II they should jump after Rup-
pert and Huston had paid for them. an
interesting lawsuit might develop.
Those are a few Of the many things
that are being Strengthened out in these
conferences between Mr. Farrell and the
aspiring purchasers.
Another thing: Ray Caldwell has beer
put on the reserve list by the Yanks,
and yet it is generally known that he has
signed a contract with the Buffalo Feds,
Caldwell Is worth a lot of money to ths
new owners. but they do not feel dis
posed TO pay for him unless they know
the goods will be delivered.
