TAKES 11 INNINGS T0 GENE CRIQU1L New York, April 25.—All obstacles ' in the path of the world's feather-| weight boxing championship match ! between Johnny Kilbane, American holder of the title, and Eugene Criqui of France, Huropean cham-/ pion, at the Polo Grounds on June 2, have been eliminated, Matchmaker | ‘om O'Rourke announced last night | after the New York state athletic commission had granted a license to | Kilbane. | Kilbane and Criqui, O'Rourke add- | ed, both have signed an agreement calling for the winner of the bout to fight Johnny Dundee of New York within three months. This, he said, was accepted by the commission as an alternative to its stipulation that Kilbane accept Dundee’s long-stand- ing challenge Dbefore boxing the Frenchman. Dundee was declared to | have agreed to this arrangement. The action of the newly created license committee of the state com- mission in granting a license to Kil- bane amounted to restoring in this state recognition to the Clevelander as world’s titleholder in the 126- pound division. Though he was not officially under local jurisdiction, William Muldoon, chairman of the commission, declared Kilbane's title vacated here nearly a ycar ago after the latter ignored Dundee's challenge for a title bout. Dundee was de- clared the featherweight champion when he defeated Sammy Krush, an Englishman, at Fbbets Field. O'Rourke said he hoped to stage a bout between Dundee and the winner of the Kilhane-Criqui match about the middle of September at thé Polo Grounds. QUILL THROWS IN SPONGE cruise of 154 days.
