Eugene Criqui. the French feather weight champion, and also the world's champ until last night, came over to this country after winning the title of European feather king, with the idea in mind of carting back to France the world’s title. First Criqui mixed with Johnny Kilbane, gray haired and aged Johnny. The French man succeeded in winning the world's feather honors from Kilbane, only to keep the title a little over two months. He lost it to Dundee. Dundee Inst night realized his life ambit ion, and that was to win the featherweight championship of the world. He beat Criqui, and beat him had. judging from the accounts of the fight. The new champion Is an Italian. However, Dundee is a citizen of this country and it was on this side of the creek that Johnny got all of his knowledge of ring warfare. Four years ago Georges Carpen tier came over to this side of the pond to take hack to France with him the world's heavyweight chain pionship. What Jack Dempsey did to (ieorges is history. Carpentier went hack to France all right, hut iie didn't take the heavyweight crown. So it is with Criqui—tlie hero of Verdun is going hack to his native land, hut is not lugging any world’s fistic crown with him. Not so long ago Jimmy Wilde, the world's flyweight king came to the United States in search of more money. He engaged in battle with I’ancho Villa and lost his crown. "Battling'' Siki took on "Mike” McTigue in Ireland several months ago. "Mike" heat Siki and copped the light heavyweight championship of Europe. 'Tis tough on the European bat tlers. Poor old Joe Beckett, the higli diver of English rings, is figuring on coming to this country, but Joe should talk to Carpentier before de elding on Invading the United States in search of pugilistic laurels. nHOSR Omaha BufTalies finally managed to win a game from Wichita, the league leaders. The result of the final game of the series was 4 to 3. This afternoon the linlTaloes open a series at Oklahoma City which should settle for a time at least, just who is going to occupy third place. At present tlie Indians are holding down the third berth, hut the Buffaloes are right on their heels and the outcome of the series which starts this afternoon will either put the Herd in third place or further down in the standings. Here's hoping the Buffaloes leave Oklahoma City in third place. Wins Philadelphia Open Title Pin* Valley. N. J.t July 27.—Clar ence W.

What wan the blggent purse that (•ink ever got for nhndow-boxing? Please answer thl* as I have con tracted insomnia from trying to figure out how muny times a cuckoo goes back lrto a clock? Yours. JACK LIGHT. I Wahoo. »b. Wahoo, Neb., must be a nice place to live In, especially If it's subject to fine and imprisonment. Trying to figure how many times a cuckoo will step back into his coop is like chinning yourself on a rain bow. Mr. Light must go swimming with an anvil In each hand. The biggest purse that Gink ever got was In a regular fight. It was in the subway. The next biggest wallet he ever got was in Carnegie Hall when Professor Brogan lectured on the medicinal properties of homeopathic black jacks. The third round was when the Roughtown champ took on The Glut. Sixty rounds or rain checks. It was not a finish fight. When Gink fought Ole Olson of Helsinfors, that was a Finnish fight. Gink had Just finished building the new Roughtown Apartments de Luxe. He had complied with ail the Rough town earthquake laws, which speci fied that all apartments must be stuck with chewing gum and cigaret papers. Omaha laws are not so strict. The Glutt's manager demanded one million for his man. Gink scraped the million together but nine hundred thousand of them were cough drops. The Glutt was satisfied and the fight took place under the auspices of the telephone company. The Glutt had the mouthpiece and Gink was the receiver. The central at the switchboard went out for lunch between every round. When Gink tapped the coin box all he got was a lead slug with Kaiser Wilhelm's picture on it. Gink won th.s fight because his manager was wise enough to pencil Instructions on the canvas. Gink had plenty of opportunities to read them. After the referee's patriotic deci sion, Gink started training for the Orphans' picnic. That was a fight. But until Dempsey and Gibbons finish up their financial investments we will lay back in the hammock and give Gink a vacation. He is on Mount Vesuvius counting his blisters.
