HARD HITTERS BOX
AT GARDEN TONIGHT
White Faces Mitchell and
Shugrue Meets Flores in
Chief Events.
By CHARLES r. MArHIsox.

Should the bout between Charley
White and Richie Mitchell and the con-
test between Johnny Shugrue and Elmo
Flores. which are set for the ring at
Madison Square Garden tonight. prove
to be other than intensely interesting It
would be staggering upset OF precon-
ceived opinion OF the matches.
1t is many a month since two pairs
Of boxers so well matched in all particu-
lars. and so we'll qualified TO make a
good fight have been signed for bouts
in the Garden arena.
White and Mitchell, each OF whom en-
tertains aspiration IN reference to the
lightweight title. are hitters Of the con-
vincing type. Each has scored q knock
down of Benny Leonard. the titleholder,
and each intimates that his opponent to-
night will, II conscious, hear the referee
count ten.
In view Of the punching ability OF
both White and Mitchell It would not
be surprising If knockout occurred
before the fifteenth round closes. Bas-
ing an opinion on recent performances
and present condition. Left Hook
Charley appears to be a trife the su-
perior in the matter Of reaching an op-
ponent's chin with precision and force.
and he also Is somewhat more rapid
in attack than the Milwaukeean. White
can say that Leonard stopped him but
once, while the champion put Mitchell
to sleep twice. White also can point
to the fact that Rocky Kansas sent
Mitchell down for the full count, but
-
White and Rocky Kansas have yet to
meet Mitchell. however, always gives
good account OF himself and he can
be depended on to keep the onlookers
from suffering from ennui.
shusruo Has Developed Fast.
The match between Johnny Shugrue,
the brilliant boxer Of Jersey City, and
Elmo Flores. lightweight champion Of
the Philippines. Possesses equal inter
est with the chief event. The stopping
Of the veteran Willie jackson by the
younger brother Of Joe Shugrue served
10 put the youngster In the pugilistic
spotlight. It Is true that jackson had
deteriorated to a marked degree, yet
few or his opponents In recent months
battered him 50 thoroughly as did
Shugruc. IT was q commendable per-
fornance for SO young boxer and
marks tho Jerseynlan as a rival to the
best men in the lightweight division.
He may not be ready as yet FOR joust
with Leonard, Tender or White but
within year he promises to be In a
position 20 give battle TO che best Of
them.
Flores is an interesting fighter and a
courageous one. OF which ne gave proof
the night he battled with Jack Bern
stein. He can be depended on to keep
moving and punching, and while the
Jersey boy looks the winner. It will not
be an easy victory.
