EW YORK, May 21.—Pugilism never has promised fare so rich as Matches, made or pending, involve all the leading fighters in the various classes, and, in many cases, impor- Drawing ever nearer is a bout that is certain to make history battle between Johnny Kilbane, champion featherweight of the world, Eugene Criqui, European champion. and There is no doubt that this is g ing to be a thrilling affair. This fact already would have been apparent had_Criqui, who i publicity. training at Manhasset, Long Island, any genius for Carpentier and his manager possessed it, and they had the public by the ears weeks before Carpentier’ But Criqui is a quiet little chap, and hi bout with Dempsey. manager, Eudeline, has but one ambition, and that is to have his lad train in peace and quict without brass bands or large headlines. One funny thing about Eudeline is | that he has heard of Kilbane's habit of talking an opponent out of a bat- tle. As a consequence, he won't let ! Gene listen to any one who tries to address him in English. French must be the prevailing tongue wher- ever Criqui happens to be. The idea is that if the French feather doesn't know a single word of English how can Johnny kid him? There's a thought there. The bout is set for June 2. Villa to Meet Wilde. Then. on June 16, Pancho Villa versus Jimmy Wilde of England, the world champion flyweight. This bout wqn't probably amount fo so much as Wilde practically has retired and 'SHAMROCK AND TREMONT ' JUNIORS SET FAST PACE WO District junior sandlot teams have trounced about everything in Shamrock Juniors shoved their list to nine straight when they humbled the Liberty tossers yesterday.
