"FATHER TIME
FIGHT VICTOR

Feather Weight Champion
for 11 Years Tries One
Time Too Many.

By JAMES ANTHONY HURPEY

Father Time. tho old gentleman
himself. he of the long grey beard and
ever swinging scythe. came into a
long delayed verfiance at the Polo
Grounds in New York Saturday after-
noon when he cut down John Patrick
Kilbane and deprived him of the
featherweight boxing crown.

For months back about every ath-
lete in the game had been taking a
clout at the old gentleman. Baseball
players supposed to be tottering along
toward a "Hero He lies" finish, flight-
crs who ought to have known better.
and runners seemed to pick on the
old gentlemen at once. It was an old
mans year in athletics. The aged won
victories and youth lost them. All
this was demoralizing .all along the
line. The old. birdies who had been
peacefully dozing in corners suddenly
awakened with a whoop. They took
to monkey glands treatment like a
duck to water. They sandpapered
their bald heads in the hope of irri-
tating the scalp so hair would grow.
If they had hair they dyed it. If
they got a pain in the Ji1\V it was an
omen of a new set of teeth. They
tried handsprings on the beach. diving
from great heights and took to play.
ing around with the flappers until
nobody knew where it would all end.

So when Kilbane-Criqul match was
made Father Time saw s. griiini
chance t- get even and he was in
Kilbane's corner Saturday when the
fight started.

Mark you now his strategy. For
four rounds he let the confident Kil-
bane dance and box rings around the
over coming Criqui. Then in the fifth
John Patrick got the thought that he
was still unbeatable. The thought '
was planted in his mind by the unseen
old gentlemen that crouched in his
corner. He came out wide open.
Zip. A right crushed to his jaw.
\VhOOsh. Another winged home like
a flash of light. Again this time a
stab to the mouth. that drew blood.
The proud old champion swallowed it.
rather than admit he was hurt.

Kilbnne came out of his corner for
the sixth obviously tired. Criqui. Just
as apparently. has gained confidence
and be rushed desperately into the
champion. lio landed a left to the
flaw that rocked Kilhane and then
crossed a right to the jaw that put
Rilhanc to the floor with a crash.
Kilimno rose from his back to a sitt—
ing position Tit the count of live, but
his eyes were glassy and his head
swung loose on his shoulders. He fell
back on the canvas and took the
count.

\i‘ild Frenchmen in the audience
rushed river the police and climbed
into the ring. They hugged and kiss-
ed the new champion profusely. and
they were still trying to shower their
affections on him when the police
threw them out of the ring.

After having been brought around
Killmno conducted himself as a most
gracious loser. Flo walked to the
Frenchman's corner and put his arms
about his conqueror and then walked
out of the ring with his head down.

Kilbane after the fight. said in his
dressing room that he was not sorry
to part with the title.

"i couldn't go on forever. and I'm
glad that such a great soldier as
Criqui was the one to take the title
from me." he said. "i'm through
with boxing now. and satisfied with
the laurois l have won. and I’m going
back to the farm and the simple life."

Kiliutne looked like the veteran
that he is as he slumped on a chair in
his dressing room. His lips were
puffed. one eye swollen and he was
still shaky from the effects of the
knockout. The old gentleman with
the scythe quitely slipped away un-
noticed in the mob that poured out of
the Polo Grounds.

And now that he is on the war-path
look out for old veterans that have
been scampering around in the spot-
light to be retired Just as suddenly.

lie was after Kilbnne for a long
long time before he finally got him.
It's been eleven years since Kilbane
put away Abe Attell and eleven years
is something more than a few minutes
in any sort of a. game where it's a
battle to hold your footing.

Up to the time of the knockout it
was like a boxing lesson. Criqul
could hardly lay a glove on Kilbane
but all the time. old Father Time. was
collecting his toll.

There was a kissing bee right after
the clouting bee. Criqui kissed Kil-
bane. the French war vets who ac-
companied the fighter from overseas
kissed each other and the cops kissed
them with their clubs when they
threw tnem out of the ring.

A- a box office attraction the show
was a "bust". The New York public
have soured on overseas champs and
the high prices they have been forced
to pay to see them. And tho “WI!
hero" stuff shot its bolt with “George-
' ous Georges" Carpentier's clash with
Dempsey.

Two Americans to

Boxing Board

MEXICO CITY. June t—The
Board of Aldermen of Mexico City is
forming a boxing commission. which
is expected to take charge of the
wort this week. Two Americans are
to serve on the commission. which
will consist of seven members. The
rules which goven boxing in New
York State have been adopted. with \
few modifications to suit the Latin
temperament. Fake bouts have
threatened to ruin the sport. here. and
the city calcul- are determined to
put a stop to them. They are of the
opinion that Mexico City. with sports

Following the action of Saturday.
yesterday was a day of comparative
quiet in boxing. The work of check-
ing up the receipts of the Criqui-Kil-

bane bout was still in progress and
O'Rourke declared that the official
figures would not avail until some
time today. He said that as near as
he could estimate. between 20.000 and
25,000 persons paid $91,000 to see the
world's featherweight championship
change hands.

It is estimated that the promoters
lost in the neighborhood of 850.000.
The promoters. however. are emphatic
in their insistence that they intend to
continue staging bouts at the Polo
Grounds.

Tom O'Rourke today will plunge the
to the work of completing the details
for the Jimmy “'ilde-Pancho Villa
bout for the flywcight championship
of the world. Prior to the Criqui-Kil-
bane bout. Dundee withdrew his claim
to a bout with the Frenchman when
both Criqui and Kilbane posted 810.-
000 with the New York State Athletic
Commission. guaranteeing that the
winner would engage Dundee within
60 days after their bout. Dundee also
posted $10,000. Kilbene now will
draw down his forfeit.
“W'e intend to go right ahead.” said
O'Rourke yesterday. “Naturally we
were disappointed in the size of the
crowd, but that is one of the breaks
that all promoters risk. 1 have heard
some comment that the price of the
choicest seats was too high, yet the
biggest demand was for the 827.50
seats. It was the cheaper seats that
did not sell. I think all those who
attended the bout will agree that the

It was learned upon good authority
yesterday that Kilbane will receive a
total of 875.000. lie will get 865.000
for lighting and "0.000 for training
expenses. Cirqui will receive 325.000
and 85.000 for training expenses. It
is estimated that it will cost $12,000
to stage the five preliminary bouts.
This makes a total of $117,000 expend-
ed for the bouts alone.

O'Rourke plans to stage the bout be-
tween Criqui and Dundee on July 28
or August 4 at the Polo Grounds. The
Giants are to be in the \Vest on those
dates. He also is going ahead with
plans to arrange a bout between the
winner of the \Viide-Villa bout and
Frankie Genaro. the American fly-
weight champion.

Criqui and Kilhane spent yesterday
resting. Criqui is going to take a good
rest. probably for three weeks. before
he resumes training for his clash with
Dundee. He suffered no ill effects

happy mood. Many friends of the
champion visited him to congratulate

him.
Kilbane did not take his defeat to
heart lie was as cheerful as could be
expected. He plans to motor to Phila-
delphia about “‘ednesday and may re-
turn to this city at the end of the
week. lie then will return to his farm
at Vermillion. Ohio. about :0 miles
west of Cleveland. He intends to es-
tahlish a. physical culture school
there for business men. An intimate
of Kilbane yesterday said that. he
thought Kilbane is worth about 8150.-
000. He suffered some financial re-
verses a few years ago but recouped
in the bout with Danny Frush. for
which he received $65.00!), and his
bout with Criqui.
\V‘hile discussing the Criqui bout
Kilbane explained that he entered the
ring determined to stake everything
on one punch. His hands have been
fragile for the last several years and
he realized they would not stand
much battering. It was learned that
:not once while he was training did
he don small gloves. He was afraid
of injuring his hands in advance of
the bout.
The former champion said that he
tried to make the most of his oppor—
tunities in the fourth round. when he
hit Criqui on the Jaw twice with his
right. After these two punches his
rght hand pained him greatly. He
injured his left hand in the first
round when he scored a. left hook to
the side of the Frenchman's head.
When he removed the bandages from
his hands in his dressing room follow-
ing the fight both were badly swollen
and were very painful.
Commenting upon a bout between
Criqul and John Dundeo. Kiibane
expressed the o¥icn that Dundee
will defeat the c ampion. He ex-
plaincd that Crieul has a good de~
tense. and is an extremely hard man
to hit on the law because he keeps
his left shoulder high. covering his
artificial law bone. He keeps his
guard high with his body pullod.
back. but he occasionally leaves his
jaw unprotected. ."He can be hit."
said Kilbane. “and any boxer that can
be hit can be beaton."
Neither boxer showed any signs of
the battle and each seemed contented
with his lot. Kilbane was surely han-
dicapped by something else besides his
hands is the bout. It is well known
that Kilbane was went to rattle hi-
opponents by talking to them in his
previous bouts. but Criqui under-
stands very little English.
"What would be the use of talking
to a man who could not understand
you." said Kilbane with a broad smile.
"W’by. Criqui could not. understand
the refere when he wuwarned about
hitting me low. But be is a great lit-
tle fighter and deserved to win."

St. Paul and Mlnneapolia-more than a
day and a night’s journey distant. are
regarded as neighbonng cities. Thus
it is only natural for Montana. to feel
that Gibbons is a home boy and for
it to be proud of him and concerned
with his success. This feeling is
heightened by the fact that Gibbons
is a clean liver. a family man and a
land owner. Small wonder then that
he is popular and that this section of
the country stands behind him almost
to a man. Of course. it may be the
old situation of the wish being parent
to the deed. but the fact remains that
the Northwest's money will be with
Tommy .
Gibbons‘ pCpularity is the thing
which has made this bout a logical
one for this section of the country. It
has been variously reported that the

doubly represented is Lord \Vooiaving-
