.SHUGRUE WILL BATTLE
 CHICK BROWN NEXT MONDAY
Waterbury Boy in Comeback, Plans to Climb to Top of
 Class

New Haven, Aug. 6.-When Johnny | Shugrue, Waterbury fistic star, climbs into the ring to face Chic Brown at Weiss park, New Haven, Monday, August IS, he will be making his first start in a comeback campaign that he hopes will land him eventually at the very top of ths lightweight division. Trouble with his eyes forced Johnny to the side lines some months ago and for while it was feared that he would have to terminate a ring career of real promise. Expert care, however, has rid him of his trouble and when he goes into action on the thir- teenth he will be fit and ready to take up his career just where he left it off.
 Shugrue's fight with Brown is considered just a starter" in Water bury. At the height of his career the Brass City battle scored notable victories over Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson and he intends to get back into that division just as soon as he works off little weight and sharpens upon his boxing. Incidentally the Waterbury boy thinks that he can take the measure of Kid" Kaplan, his old-time rival from Meriden, and another Shugrue- -Kaplan match is a possibility before snow flies.

 Than Any Other Man

Denver, Colo, Aug. 6.-E. w. Dickerson, referee of the Firpo- Smith bout in Omaha, said here yes terday: "I do not believe the ring has ever known man who hits harder than Firpo does with his right hand. and it is not looping swing, but a straight punch that does not travel more than IS inches. Neither John L. Sullivan, Bob Fftz- simmons, nor Jack Dempsey is ex- cepted in that statement. Firpo's chances against Dempsey lie between his ability to assimilate punishment without visible effect and his great punching power"
