SHUGRUE BEATS CROSS
l Wins Easily From Leach, Who Tries
For Knockout
New York, Jan. 14.—Joe SihugTue
had a picnic with Leach Cross at Madi
son Square Garden last night. The Jer
i sey iboy oubpointed Leach so far that
there wiasn't any question as to who
had "won. Only once was Joe'in dan
ger from the dentist's hard knocks, fn
the secondtfound Leach caught Joe with
a Ibrace of lefts and rights, and just
when it looked as if Shugrue was going
to go down for a little count Cross
rushed into a clinch and held the Jer
seyite uip. Shugrue held on when he got
the chance, and by the time Cross had
broken away Joe's head was clear
again.
Cross went into the ring with one
idea. He wanted to put Shugrue out
with a single punch. He spent three
fourths of his valuable fighting time
j trying to reach Joe's chin, but Shugrue
was never in .better form, and he play
ed with the hard hitting East Wider
much as a cat would with a mouse.
BENFER TURNS DOWN OFFER

Center
Myerstown, Pa., Jan. 14.—Captain

team of the Eastern league of Bas
ketball Clubs.
Manager A 1 Berliner, with Captain
Andy Sears and several other Reading
men, motored over to Myerstown for
a talk with BenXer, during which a
strong effort was made to secure^his
I signature to a Ko-ading contract.
| 'While terms were alluring, Captain
i Benfer finally declined the offer, de
claring his intention to continue at Al
bright and maintain his amateur stand
ing in college sports. His decision
proved a disappointment to the Read
