Joe Shugrue, the best of the

to abandon the ring in 1915 be-
cause his eyes failed him. Joe
was headed for the lightweight
championship when his optics
went back on him. He could
scarcely see Pal Moran in their
recent fight and lost on a techni-
cal knockout when the referee
stopped the bout in the seventh
round.
Willie, youngest of the shuglues,
made his debut in New Orleans
