Promoters Face Heavy Financial Loss. By the Associsted Press, i OLO GROUNDS, New York, June 2—A lithe-limbed, panther- like warrior of France, bearing the scars of the fight of fights, boxed and punched his way to dramatic victory and a world championship here today Eugenc Criqui, ex-poilu, who came back to the ring after his jaw had stopped a German bullet at Verdun seven years ago, rose to the greatest heights of his pugilistic career when he knocked out Johnny Kilbane, veteran American holder of the world featherweight crown, in | the sixth round of an international battle before a crowd estimated at | 25,000 in the Polo Grounds. It was a battle between master ringmen, veterans of two continents, but in the end Criqui's greater stamina and punching ability carried him to triumph. Kilbane, who had held the world title for eleven years, had 2 shade the better of the defensive fighting, but at critical moments he was | unable to stem the tide of Criqui's cyclonic attack. | The finish came with sensational|l Five other bouts, all among “little suddenness in the sixth round, and|fellows,” were on the card, two eight- when Kilbane's gene.alship appeared | round encounters were the star at- to have baffled the former poilu's|tractions of these, “Irish” Johnny fiery onslaught.

JOHNNY Kilbane tried to rise and succeeded in getting to one knee, but, krosgy and weak, ‘he fell back as Rererce Jack Appel tolled off the count of ten. It was only the second time in his Jong ring career that Kilbane had been counted out. In 1917, when at the height of his career as feather- weight king, he went out of his.class to meet Benny Leonard, lightwelght champlon, was knocked out in the third Dramatic Scenes at End. Dramatic ringside scenes followed Criqui's sudden triumph. The chal- lenger, himself almost stunned by the quickness of his victory, was quickly seized by his jubllant seconds. Freeing himself for a moment, how- ever, he rushed to the fallen title- holder's corner and kissed Kilbane on each cheek. Then, a’s the crowd enthusiastically acclaimed the mew champlon, Criqul was carried from the ring by his manager, Robert Eudeline, and sev- eral poilu comrades in uniform, who had escorted him to the ring before the bout to the strains of the “Mar- selllaise.” It was several minutes be- to the dressing room could be cleared. The principals in turesque international since the Jack Dempsey-Georges Car- pentier battle two years ago, Kilbane and Criqui were a marked contrast. ‘The champion, gray-haired and thirty-four, was all smiles as he climbed through the ropes and went through the preliminary ceremonies. Criqul, however, apparently in finely drawn condition, was silent and un- look of determination on his h as it might have worn be- zero hour as he walted in the front line at Verdun in 1916, Criqui's Stamina Factor. From the first tap of the gong Criqui's rugged aggressiveness gave hint of what was to come. Kilbane fought off the Frenchman's rushes coolly and cautlously in the first two Tounds, preferring to spar at long range. He clinched repeatedly as Criqui tore in and blocked most of the challenger’s rushes. From a comparatively Criqui_plunged into a faster clip in the third round and worried the champlon with a serles of jabs and hooks to the head and body. Often the challenger missed his swings, but his defense left the champion few openings. Kilbane, Wwho was ap- parently fghting well within himself, took the aggressive for a short time in the fourth. He stung the French- man with several shots to the jaw, but the chin that had stopped a bullet proved a durable target, and the challenger bored ‘in unchecked. Kilbane Worrled in Fifth. Criqul brought blood from Kil- bane's nose in the fifth and jolted the champlon with hooks to the jaw. Plainly worrled, Kilbane fought back gamely, but found an impregnable defense. o The sixth was over almost before it started. Criqui's flery attack this time, was not to be denied. His two- punch assault sent the down after 1 minute and 54 seconds of the round had elapsed. Criqui's victory was clean-cut and decisive, but cxperts tonight were agreed that Kilbane had shown far from the form that won the feather- weight crown for him in 1912 in & twenty-round battle with Abe Attell at Los Angeles. Defensively, Kilbane retained much of his old-time skill, but his stamina and punching power were not the same. His footwork from the start showed that his legs did not have the strength to carry him - through a grueling champion- ship eontest. They failed him when he tried to rise after that stunning punch on the jaw. Victor's Plcturesque Career. the most pic- boxing event slow pace Criqui, whose victory gives him the | Navy. and Huckins, Navy, of | Helglit, 11 feet & inches. place in France's pugilistic hall fame | formerly held by Carpentier, has one of the most plcturesque ca- reers in ring history. Now twenty- nine years old, he started boxing nearly fifteen years ago in his school- boy ' days He did not attain much prominence, however, and when - the war came he was among the first to o to the front. The bullet that toré away part of his jaw at Verdun. nearly cost him his life. But he re- vered after a_remarkable operation, n which the bone of a sheep was grafted in place of the shattered bone. Undaunted, he again turned to the prize ring and after several years of battling won his way to the Eu- ropean featherwelght ~championship, knoeking_out his two foremost wivals, Arthur Wyns, Belglan _titleholder, and Billy Matthews, English claimant. Criqui has _an especially likable personality. The scar of his recon- structed jaw lends a grim, but never- theless softening, appearance to his(Ppatrio face. His quiet, gentlemanly manner has won him many friends since his arrival in the United States. Promoters Face Big Loss.

Dundee, who held Kilbane to a draw in twenty rounds a year after the latter won the title from Abe Attell, has been angling for another crack at the crown for years, Last vear, when Kilbane ignored Dundee's challenge, the New York state athletic commission vacated the champion’s title in this state and de- clared Dundee the titleholder after the little Itallan had knocked out Danny Frush of Cleveland, another contender, Recognition of Ki'bane us title- holder was restored when he and Criqui agreed to give Dundee the next crack at the crown, York and of Jersey City boxed w.

BY DENMAN THOMPSON. FTER trampling the Nationals into the mire of a 7-5 defeat that marked the seventh consecutive reverse suffered by Bush’s cohorts the Mackmen came a cropper in the fag end of the double bill yesterday and were compelled to take the short end of a 5-to-3 tally. As a result the Griffs advanced a notch in the race and left the White Sox as sole occupants of the cellar, Wallace Westinghouse Warmoth was sent to the slab by Director Bush in the opening engagement with explicit instructions to avoid ex- ploring excursions skyward, the outstanding weakness of the Little Rock recruit thus far this season. Wally succeeded well, for him, issuing only four free tickets to the initial corner, but he neglected to look after the trifling matter of preventing the aliens from bunching their bingles, with the result that Roleine Naylor, his slab opponent, while unsteady as a bootlegger off duty, earned the brackets. | “Cornelius McGillicuddy trotted his latest pitching acquisition to the | mound in the nightcap—George Rube Walberg.

UTFIELDER DON DONALDSON and Pitcher Frank Reil of the Tampa Florida State League club have been purchased by the | Nationals, according to announcement made last night by\Presi- | dent ‘Griffixh. Donaldson is described as a left-hand hitter whose punching proclivities entitle him to a trial in fast company and Reil is the twenty- three-year-old right-hander whose work so favorably impressed the .| Washington board of strategy during the training trip this spring that 1ne_m)hanons f9r him covering several weeks were carried on, only to | fail because his owners demanded a half interest in the United States ard o) Ward to Pipp; Ehmke Treasury for his services. equipped for pitching purposes in the American League than any of the hurlers now on Bush’s roster {s prob- | lematical. Griff admits he is “taking a chance” on him, but the local im- pressario hopes Donaldson will prove sufficiently well versed in the art of fiychasing to warrant his use in the outfleld and belleves if this proves to be the case the youngster will add punch to a department that is urgent- 1y in need of it. , George Fisher has failed to make the grade because of deficiencies defensively; Wade has been alling, oft and on, all spring; Rice has not yet fully recovered from an attack of mumps, Evans’ arm continues lame; Leibold Is overweight and not hitting the size of his hat, and Gos- lin has slumped woefully 'in all de- partments since he injured his ankle sliding into the plate at Comiskey Park more than two weeks ago. Donaldson Rated as Slugger. “If Donaldson appears capable of holding his own from a fielding standpoint he will be shoved into the game immediately, as I think he can give us the attacking strength we need,” Griff sald. “He made quite a reputation as a home-run_ hitter in the Appalachian League last year and {has been maintaining an average of taround .400 with Tampa this spring. With our cripples and near-cripples, and neither Judge, Harrls nor Ghar- rity hitting up to par and our pitch- ers performing poorly, we need all the attacking strength we can get, and as long as we can't buy hitters readymade, we're going to try and get them from the bushes.

Now Naylor tops the hurlers of the circuit with seven vis tories and no defeats. Whether Reil will prove better on hand to see the Nationals end their losing streak yesterday. The usually reliable Matthews' fumble of Rice's single in round 1 of the opener proved costly. It was indirectly responsible for & palr of local markers. The A’'s would have scored before they did in the fourth but for a break that favored the home talent. Rice's heave of Galloway's single to catch Miller racing from first to third struck Bing on the leg and stopped dead. The ball was headed straight for the Mackian dugout. Goslin virtually presented the visi- tors with a tally in this frame. Goose raced in to take Scheer's foul fly. Evidently he thought his catch made the third out or forgot Scheer was on third, for he made no effort to throw until it was too late. Peck thought fast when he snared Welch’s terrific liner in the fifth and ferried to Bluege with practically one motion, but Galloway was awake and got back to third in time. Miller made a valiant attempt to corral Bluege's ponderous poke in the firth, but succeeded in getting only one.-fin on the triple: Matthews contributed the feature bit of the pastime in the seventh, when he raced over and back into right center for Judge's mighty clout. Harris was ealled out in this frame when he ran into his swinging bunt |.R! in front of the plats Hauser's hom the second game, his seventh of season, was an even lustier wallop than his initial effort, the drive being farther to the Jeft and claring the barrier by a Teater margin.

NAYLOR WINS OPENER | Naylor was unsteady at the out- set of the first gama and before he could get his bearings the Nationals had & two-run margin to work on. He walked Leibold, the first man to face him. Peck obligingly popped, but Rice crashed a single to center and when Matthews fumbled Lei- bold scored and Rice raced to the far corner, from where he tallled on Goslin’s safety to the middls pasture. Naylor wild-pitched Gosiln to sec-, ond and walked Judge, but Bluege | hit into a force play and Harris rolled to Hauser. Some crisp belting was respon- sible for another pair of tallles ylelded by Naylor in the third.

Hauser added a seventh and wholly unnecessary run In the final frame when he boosted one of Brillheart's cholcest offerings over the right field fence after two of his mates had been retired. Miller followed with a safety eft, his fourth consecutive hit, but left when Galloway lofted. After the fifth session when Bluege connected for a triple to the limits {n left and was flagged at the plate on Harrls' roller to Galloway, the Na- tionals were docfle until the final frame when the bugs were given a | momentary thrill. Peck walked for a starter and, after Rice lofted to Mat- thews, was forced by Goslin. O'Neiil was put in to run for the Goose and raced to the far corner when Judge doubled down the right field line, but with the bugs clamoring for a hit Bluege's best was a long fly to Miller. w ROLLIE REACHES CREST (FIRST GAME.)

This time it was Welch who got the three-bagger, a lusty lam to left, and he continued on to the pan when Scheer skewered a base blow past Bluege A poke through Galloway by Rice in the opener was nullified when Peck drilled into a_dual demise Passes to Evans and Goslin went for naught in this frame when Judge popped to Riconda, and a walk to Harris in the second was offset when Ruel hit into a force play. but the youthful Walberg’s unsteadiness got him into a jam in the followins frame, when the Griffs chased three runs over to assume the lead. The short- term Glant franked Rice and Peck, and the corners were fully peopled when Evans beat out a bunt to conda. Goslin then cashed a palr of his mates with a ripping single to right, Evans taking 1 on the blow’ and scoring on Judge's lons drive to Welch. Walter's Bingle Helps, Johnson's long double to right and safety to the middle garden by Rice produced a marker In_the fourth Rice stole second, moved to third on Peck's death and was prevented from scoring only by Galloway's fine effor: in grabbing a crack Evans caromed oft Walberg's glove. Goslin blazed the trail for a marker in the fifth by drilling a one-baser to left. Judge looped a Texas leaguer to the same sector, both ad- vanced on Bluege's suicide, and after Harris walked to fill the bases Goslin scored on Ruel's loft to Miller, Walberg got no farther than the far corner when he started the fifth with a_triple against the barrfer in right, Matthews, Riconda and Per- kins being unable to help him, but Hauser accounted for a tally without any assistance in the succeeding ses- sion, when he duplicated his perform- ance of the initial clash and clouted one of Johnson's deliveries over the right-field wall. Visitors Threaten tn Seventh. Johnson was momentarily threat- ened in the seventh, when Walbarg dragged a bunt past him and Mat- thews walked, but the menace w ended when Ruel grabbed Riconda's bunt and forced Walberg at third, Johnson then fanning Perkins and causing Hauser to loft to Peck. Rice was easily trapped after reach- ing third in round 6 on his single, a walk to Peck and Evans' long fl when Galloway returned Perkins' p Bluege perished at the far corner, which he reached in the seventh on a pass, Harris' death and a wild pitch, when Ruel rolled to Piconda.
