NEW YORK, May 31.-lf Eu-
gene Criqui of France wins the
featherweight championship Of the
world from Johnny Kilbane, at the
Polo Grounds, June 2, he will do
it by American and not French
methods of fighting.
Criqui told me this himaelfl ana

line, as we sat chatted in the sun
lit parlor of the picturesque brown
bungalow over at Manhasset, l.. l..
that was Georges Carpenters
home when he was getting ready
for his Inflated battle with Demp-
sey at Jersey City.
Criqui has no superstition on
this score. He took over Carpen-
tiers old camp without any fore
boding that there's any jinx about
it despite his fellow contrymen's
fate.
Eufene wasn't always a knock

CGiqui, II wasn't knockout

But now it's different. The

in the ring in my own country.
Then when the Germans shot away
part of the left side of my lower
jaw in the fighting around the hills

II liked the style of the Ame1i-
