June 2.— A slender little Frenchman with • twisted face and with eyes forever saddened by suffering and the things they have seen, is the new feather weight champion of the world. Eugene Criqul, a soldier of France, once left fur dead on the bloody field of Verdun, and now fighting his ring battles with a "synthetic Jaw,” made with the hone of one of his own ribs, brought down Johnny Klllwine, the "Silver Fox of Klstiana," this afternoon. He brought him down In tbe sixth round of their fight at the Foln Grounds with a righthand shot that seemed to travel as fast and as true as one of the shrapnel shells that whined over Criqui's head in the dreary days when he was fighting for his beloved France. The round was 1 minute and 64 seconds old. Frcnchmsn Keep* Coming. There was Kilbane. the fox, up there In the ring, gray haired, quizzi cal, masterly, 11 years champion of the world, in careful, well judged retreat, picking his steps by ring routes he knew so well, apparently In complete command of himself and of the situation. There was the little Frenchman with the twisted smile and the sad eyes, marching after the fox, his shoulders hunched ' awkwardiy, his feet shuffling through the resin dust, hirt marching, marching on. It seemed to he a hopeless pursuit for the man with the twisted smile, as Kilbane stepped carefully back ward. fending off the oncoming Frenchman with his gloved hands and grinning cynically. In Criqui's sad eyes was an ex pression of some bewilderment, as if he were wondering how to deal with this elusive man. But he kept march ing, marching, marching—he had been marching the same way since the beginning of the fight. Blow From Nowhere, Then—whtsp—a blow seemed to onme from nowhere. It fairly whistled. Criqul had suddenly paused In his march, had s-t his feet firmly on the padded flftor and let his gloved right fly. desperately, with all his might. There was no preliminary motion, no gradual battering down of an op ponent. It was as If he had suddenly hit Kllhane with a club. Kilbane foil backward, barely stag goring, a strangely surprised etprw slop coming Into his eyes. He lay for a moment on the floor of the ring on his Kick, a light hreexe rufillrA his gray poll, as the wind might stir the fur of a fox run to earth by the hunters and the dogs. From Criqui's corner came a hahhle of voices yelling in French. One voice, jk-rhaps that of M. Eudetine, the manager of the little man with the twisted smilfg railed the cry "Feenish feenlsh!" for the fox was stirring and had come to one knee. Take Fatal Count. As hs fell and as he knelt there Patsy Ha ay old t.me bar run weight, bis hair grayer than the fallen Ktl bane's, arose at owe aid* of the ring and ebanted ‘one, taro, three—’* and so on. up to. the 10 that ends tight contests. It was all over. Criqul. hts sad eyes aglow for the first time, his twisted face gathering 18-Hole Medal Play at Lakoma Club An 18-hole handicap medal play contest of two flights, eight to qualify to each flight, was started yesterday ! at the latkoma club.

Sev- i oral delegations of out-of town nlm- J rods are expected to take the firing line in the 100 bird event. Well, I guest it’s back to the farm for me,” said Kil bane as he left his dressing room. “The ring has been kind to me and it’s a wise felow that knows when he has had enough._ I hope I am credited with having some wisdom.” In a little smile of triumph, rushed across the" ring and helped the sec onds lift Kllhane to his feet and to the stool in his corner. There Kil hane remained just long enough to remove his gloves, to hear Joe Hum phreys, the announcer, tell the crowd of the new champion of the world, then he quietly disappeared. It dropped him "cold" for one in stant. for one full breath, he did not move a muscle. Nothing to Say. Kllhane had nothing to say after the fight. There was nothing for hint to say. He goes back to Cleveland to put at least $75,000 more to his al ready fat hank account. A fox is a fox, In nr out of the ring. . The little man with the twisted face Will go hark to Frame—to Paris—to rule as king of the boulevards for many a day. For some reason the fight failed to draw well. The gross receipts are estimated at $75,000. The promoter, Tom O'Hourke. will perhaps enter a loss in his ledger but he put over a good show.
