.CR|QU|-K ILDANE FIGHT

Sportsmen Assert American
Boy Will Not Risk Title
Against Frenchman.
By Joseph Kiernnn.

PARIS, Feb. 1s.-French sports
men. while fevcrisldy and unani-
mousiy declaring that Eugene Criqui,
since his sensational victory over
I.cdouN. is the only Legitimate OPP
ponent for Johnny Kilbanc to meet
for the worlds fcathcrweight title
have apparently decided that such n
match could never be held on the
square in the United States. The
taily sporting journal. Auto" which
makes the nat declaration that Criqui
would not have n chance unless the
fight takes place over there says:
Does one believe Kilbane would
willingly risk his title against n man
who knocked out Ledoux in less than
one round. Never! KilbaQe is not
a fool. lie is perfect man OF af-
fairs which is SO often the case with
American boxers.
To cite an example of what type of n
business man holds the fcatherweieh:
championship in America-when
kilbane met Danny Frush rccent-
ly he demanded $4,000 win or lose.
And there was clause In the con-
tract engaging Frush-lf he defeated
Kilbane--to pay kilbanc. a quarter
Of what he would receive In his next
four combats. One is convinced that
II Kiibanc had been defeated ne
would have been able to retire in
leisure for the new champion OF the
world would have assured him a
respectable income"
There is a strong movement now
afoot to find aysuflicient purse to
attract kilbane while In Europe.

1922 TRAP-SHOOTING CONTESTS
Will Be Staged This Year i'll Conjunction With the
Grand American Handicap at Atlantic

with other requirements OF the Amer
lean TrapshootinE Association, could
compete FOR the championship.
Then came II great demand for class
Championships so that shooters Of
ability. yet lesser ability than tho
stars, might have some incentive to
work their way up 10 the top runs
of tho ladder. and. Incidentally. OBJ
tain some reward which would Ito In
IL victory over Il certain class OF shoot
crs. AT first. II was believed that tho
shooters should be classified In tho
regular contest for the singles champ
tonship. but the program committee
decided to make u separate event for
the class tests. The shooters are
classed according to their average
made on 500 registered targets at
shots sanctioned by the A. T. a.
That both of these events will be
unusually attractive to trapshooters Is
evidenced by the prize list. To the
whole tournament tho American Trap
shooting Association will donate S5,-
600 In cash and trophy prizes or this
amount $3.50 Will be put into the
singles championship and $1,000 into
the class championship.
The reason for dropping the cigh-
n-yard championship title Is quite
obvious. Men who have won the
oiShtccn-yard championships have
been referred to as the Singles
champion" and while It is true that
he shot at single targets to win his
title the genuine single champion was
the man who won his victory on tar
gets shot ut from the standard dis
tance. which is sixteen yards. How
ever. there Will be an eightcen-yard
event on the program at Atlantic
City. but 1t will be known rs n race
instead of n championship.
The increase in the number Of tar
gets In the doubles championships
came only after an insistent demand
from the men who call themselves
doubles shooters. This body OF
sportsmen has grown In leaps and
bounds within the past few years. and
they have felt that they were not nut
to real test on 100 targets Con-
scquently, the program committee met
the popular demand and increased the
race To 200 targets. The same condT-
ton brought about tho Increase in
the Junior championship for even
smnl ooys who shoot we'll enough IA
