Another "Logical"

At Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, Johnny Shugrue bumped his nose on Pal Moran's fist in the first round of their prospective twelve. Blood-flow external and internal from the broken nose blinded him. In the fifth round the referee called the bout on account of Shugrue's optical darkness. When the end came, he was a vivid study in red. Moran punched and punctured at the same time.

Notwithstanding Shugrue's unlucky disability in the first round, it was obvious Moran had not met his match. The latter's improvement since his illness a year ago is little short of startling. With the possible exception of Lew Tendler in 1922, he is the most logical contender in several years for the throne of Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard. Unhappily for him, Benny's habit is to render contenders decidedly illogical in actual combat. Moran and Leonard will probably meet next Summer in an outdoor fight.
