NEW YORK, June 2.—A new featherweight champion of the world was crowned here this afternoon in the person of Engene Criqui, French war veteran, and gentleman of France.
He came into this honor through the medium of a terrific right hand punch that landed full on the aged jaw of Johnny Kilbane after one minute and 14 seconds of fighting in the sixth round. The American laid flat on his back and got up. Referee Apple started a wholly unnecessary count and then, thinking better of it, motioned the weeping seconds of the fallen champion to assist him to his corner. The knockdown was as sudden as a bolt of lightning up to the time it arrived. The dehonored champion had been exhibiting his skill at the expense of the Frenchman, smiling serenely and blandly as he did so.
He carried the first and fourth rounds by a wide margin and was well in the lead on points when the blow fell.
It was the second knockout Kilbane has suffered in his long career. Benny Leonard being the only other fighter to accomplish the feat.
The result was well received by a small but select crowd.
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
June 2.—Yank and Poli, brothers always, for once were on opposite sides of a rival trench under a scorching sun this afternoon with the 15-round meeting of John Patrick Kilbane of Cleveland, and M'nieu Eugene Criqui of Paris, for the championship of the featherweight world.
Flanders Field in miniature was dropped down upon the Brush stadium for the occasion, the battleground an 18-foot ring, the bayonets six-ounce gloves and the frontline trenches of billowing succession of virgin yellow field seats, for which optimists parted company with $27.50.
It was the first international bout for the featherweight title since Jam Driscold and Abe Atiel met in this city almost 15 years ago and in mature recognition of its importance some 1600 fans were sequestered in the offering when the gates were thrown open at 12:45 o'clock. They were the type who can take their tickets cheap or let them alone. This left a great plenty of the 25,000 seats placed on sale today to be disposed of several hours before the first preliminary but was scaledup to go on.
At this hour, Criqui was quoted at even money against Kilbane, the gray fox, who will defend his world's title for the first time since September, 1921, when he knocked out Danny Fruehsh, in the seventh round.
From some mysterious source., a flood of Criqui money descended on the scene and completely swamped the odds which had ranged as high as 8 to 5 on Kilbane in the early battles.
CAMPBELL, it is said, was engaging in a card game at the home of D. F. Cole at Placentia, and trouble arose. Cole told him to go home. He went but came back flourishing a revolver and threatening Cole, it is alleged.
