 Very little need bc written about the prowess of Johnny Shugruo H>s
 first appea rance in this city was
 enough to prove him a boy that gives
 the public a run for it's money. tle
 is one of the busiest boys in the ring,
 boxing twice and sometimes three times a week. His showing against
 Marty Miller in Waterbury on the
 afternoon of the Herman Lynch bout
 was of high order. Johnny hattenod
 ont Kid Logan. of this city in Bristol
 about a month ago. taking only two
 rounds to stop the soldier boy.
 The six-round mill will bring to-
 gether Bill sweeney. of this city, and
 Battling McGann, of Hartford, the
 latter taking the place of Kid Bren-
 nan, who has an injured hand, sus
 tained in a football game. The man
 aeer of McGann says his boy will
 render an account of himself that will
 satisfy the fans. Sweeney has made
 a favorable impression upon those
 who watched him in training.
 That there will be plenty of action
 can be seen in tho selection of "HOT-
 est John'' Willis as third mon in tha
 ring. Willis is an official who has tho
 confidence of the public and who at
 aII times sees to it that the boxers
 give their very host or they labor
 only for the exercise that is in the
 sport. This he dem onstratcd recently
 in Bristol when he sont Louis BogaSn
 9nd Johnny Clinton from the ring for
 etalIjn~ Arthur A. Pilz will do the
 ar~Ouncing.
 Tho card arranged bv Matchmaker
 no:nns is ono that should appease tho
 9nnntito of tho fans. X recorl-
 hrcakin% crowd is expected. as there
 has heen an exceptionally heavy de-
 mand for seats.
