Sweeney Meets Revoire at
Douglas Club Tonight
OTHER BITS OF BOXING

Fight fans here who witnessed Joe shu-
grue in a sensational six-round bout
with Sam Robdeau about two years ago
today are fully convinced that Joe Shu-
grue of Jersey City, is not the same
fighter he was. Although the Jerseyite
lacked his old-time aggressiveness and
punching ability, he showed sufficient
form to win over Eddie McAndrews in
the windup at the Olympia last night.
However it may be, Shugrue has not
regained his normal form as yet follow
ing his lay-off of nine months because of
poor eyesight. Then again, Joe did not
seem to be in fit form, as he carried sew
eral pounds of superfluous flesh around
his midsection. At that the Jersey City
lad scored enough punches, both from
the distance and at close quarters, against
McAndrews to be an undisputed winner.
Shugrue weighed 1873 pounds, while Nc
Andrews tipped the beam one pound
more.
The best fight on the program resulted
between Johnny Campi. 125h, who was an
eleventh hour substitute against Sammy
Decker, 120h Because of the former s
grand stand rally in the fifth round, after
being clearly outpointed in the second.
third and fourth periods, the former was
entitled to the decision. Decker was
matched originally with Johnny Piazzl,
but he refused to box him, as Piazzi ex-
ceeded Sans weight by. nine pounds.
Frankie Burns. 1854, had little trouble
showing superior form over Arthur
Simons. 1874, in the semi, while in the
other bouts Steve Latzo, l46, made a
punching bag of Joe Heffernan, 1451k, and
Joe Tuber 107, won from Mickey Brown,
113.
