New and unsatisfactory York, Feb. 10.—Uninteresting are the the two words which best describe boxing bout at Madison Square Garden last night between Ireddie Welsh, the weight champion, and Joe If there were a ehoice of ane over the other, as it satisfy the crowd, those attending leaned toward Shugrue. Welsh showed nothing of the finish or the hitting ability which might be expected of a champion.

There has been { talk of Shugrue as a clever boxer, but last night he did not evidence this in any particular degree, and what clean | blows were landed went to the credit «of Welsh. The Jersey lad was doubt- less imbued with a desire to win the championship. This was perfectly dent from the first round, and he wanted to put his opponent out, but his blows lacked the force, and were not cleanly delivered for the most part. Fully one-half of the total boxing time was taken up with clinches. th men were offenders in this re- spect and the referee was forced to pull them apart continually. This de- tracted from the event materially, and nmore than once the crowd broke out in disapproval. In any event, the bout which had been looked forward to as one that would be full of inter- esting action as both men had been reported in the best of condition held little that would appeal to the lover of boxing skill. There were one or two instances during the bout when Welsh showed a flash of real ability. He counted with a few neatly placed these emphasized the lack of during the greater part of the rcunds. © There was too much of a tendency on the part of Welsh to cover up. He seemed to be afraid of Shugrue getting in a telling punch and seldom opened up with steam. In the first round Welsh showed at them ten | bis best, and it really looked as if the hout might prove interesting, for Shugrue was aggressive. It was a false alarm, however. /Shugrue was in the latter rounds willing to force the issue, but he did not have.the at- tack that could get by Welsh de- cisively and his clumsy eagerness served to mess the event up com- rletely. From the point of pure interested- between Johnny who is one of Shugrue's and Kid Black, who comes from the Welsh camp, was better than the final. Drummie had the event on points even though he was fast tiring in the last few rounds. The preliminary betweer.

El Paso, Tex., Feb. 10.—Jack Cur- ley who is promoting the champion- ship fight between Jack Johnson antl Jess Willard, announced yesterday that there will be no postponment and that the two men will battle on the original date, March 6. Jack Johnson is at Barbados, British We Indies, which is at least ten days’ travel from here. He is due to arrive in Juare: on Feb. 20. This would leave him about twelve days to fit himself. In the opinion of trainers who have handled athletics in this part of the country this period is enough for a big man to get ready for a bruising contest. i Coming from the sea level to 4,000 ' feet altitude will be against Johnson and the sporting men here are begin- ning to look to Willard as the winner of the fight. The first bet to be made on the fight was made Monday, $100 even money that Willard will beat the negro champion. A cowboy took Willard’s end. to BLOOM WHIPS GALLANT. Brooklyn Lad Too Much Englander. for | | New 1 3 New York, Feh. 10.—Phil Bloom ! trounced Gilbert Gallant of Boston at the Broadway Sporting club last night. There was too much accuracy about Tiloom’s jabs to suit the New lngland boxer, and at the end or the tenth round Gallant’s face showed the effects of Bloom's aim. The bout was not fast, and the box- crs spent much of their time in clinches, but whenever there was any action. Bloom was behind the punches that landed. Gallant’s exhibition was a disappointment, and not only was he wild, but he did not show the speed of the Brooklyn favorite.
