EDDIE COULON
NOW IN FRANCE
Fought Some of Cleverest
Bantams; Wanted Bout
With Johnnie Coulon.

Eddie Coulon. one OF the cleveres1
bantamweights ever turned out OF
New Orleans. is battling with Uncle
Sans forces IN France. having gone
over some time ago without any hur-
rah. Eddie was considered a boy Of
real class and was in line for the
title at one time. but he seemed to
lack the stamina when it came to a
long contest. He fought the best
bantams in the country and was ad-
vancing rapidly toward the top when
taken ill After that he appeared to
lose some OF his staying qualities, but
not his cleyerness. Eddie is OF
French descent. his correct name be-
ing Edgar Francois, and he was horn
in the south in 1885 other southern
boxers who enlisted with Coulon are
Billy Jingles, Young Brown, Kid Gage
and Battling Minor, but they are not
accepted for overseas duty when Ed
die was passed on. Eddie won over
such lads as Pal Moore. Chick Hayes
Earl Puryear and Dick Loadman. He
always wanted TO meet Johnny COu-
Ian. but the match was never ar
ranged He also fought two 10 round
battles with Johnny Ertle. the latter
having the shade once and the other
a close draw While Eddie is on the
other side he may have a chance 10
get on with Jimmy Wilde. the SEN
sational British flyweight. as he is
only about rs pounds and the little
Welsh demon has been taking on boys
OF greater weight.

Haughton found that the national

methods nor were his personal char,

as a game or in the supervision Of

soon discovered he was out Of his

difference between amateurs and pro-
dessionals at the time he became presi-
dent Of the club, nor did he solve the
problem during his connection with
professional baseball.
There were many differences OF
opinion aS 10 how the team was to
be run. between the president and
the manager, George Stallings, and
those clashes did not tend toward
harmony among the players. The
