PARIS, June 2.—(By The Aseoctat- ed Press.—Eugene Criqui still has pienty of sentimental backing among the boxing fans of the Parisian boule- »vards. However, his admirrs who last night were willing to bet even money found so much Kilbane money among the hard-headed, disinterested sport fans today that they began to ask odds. This afternoon the odds Were running against the Frenchman as high as 8 to 5 or 9 to 6 for most of the wagers made. Criqui’s admirers are staking their hopes particularly on the supposed “knockout punch” lurking in the Frenchman's right, and Kilbane’s ad- vanced age. . FIGHTERS WEIGH IN THIS MORNING.
