 Who Gamely Lost

PARIS, August 12.-Eugene Criaui, who became champion and ex-cham- pion of the featherweignts curing his short stay in the United States, was acclaimed as though he still retained the title when he flung his bags off the boat-train in Paris Sunday. There were hundreds of people wait ing to greet him, for Criqui had promised to risk his title without pay in a bout for the benefit of the wounded soldiers. had he succeeded in retaining it against Dundee. This established him with the Parisians as the only known sportsman in the prize fight business. If he had, re- turned as champion, his welcome no doubt would have transcended that given to Georges Carpenter when he came lowing back from London after knocking out Joe Beckett.
 Criquf said Johnny Dundee had promised him a return match and therefore he intends to return to America after the first of the new year. Eugene also expects to take matches In Boston, Milwaukee, Phila- delphia and other cities from which offers have been received
 "The Americans treated me with fine. square sportsmanship,' Criqui said. and he made no mention Of the hissing and booing directed at him during the losing fight with Dundee, which so many American writers de- cried.

EARL WHITEHILL TO PITCH IQPENER AGAINST PEBBLES;
 -NO TWIN BILLS IN SERIES
Memphis Chicks Follow TraV- elerS At RiCkWood-Rube Robinson Missing From Wis., itoeS' Roster

EEssh from a three out of four game victory over Chattanooga, and a aiay of rest following, the Barons ofsSl4ffy Stewart now face the task off siseduing the down-trodden Tray elers of Little Rock. Kid Elberfeld and hs Arkansan pastimers are in Birmingham fer four games, the first ofs.4lhls week, the series beginning at fIl1ekwood this afternoon.
 laroHs and Travellers are well up oR Their schedules, and have no post pdned games to be played off. Con- sekuently there will be no double h eA ders at the Wood this time, only si isle games Monday, Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thursday. After the Travellers play at Rickwtod four das $ the Memphis Chicks come over fos d~o games to finish out the week. then the Barons take trip over 70 Atlanta for three games.
 4hc Travellers are in bottom posi- tiqr Tn the league standings, but all ways manage to find ways to make thfir appearances at Redwood inter estluS. The Barons have wallCped thtm rather consistently this season, bG that fact never lessens the inter- est-lfaany home town fan.
 Hrfrer the Travellers are gone, nothIng but the hardest kind of op- pdsition comes here. Instead of the teams on which the Barons have been Iattening. those who have been fat afiing off the BarOns will come to Riskwood for the remainder of the sesson..
 WhitehilI to Pitch
 Earl Whitehill, the youthful Vete- rah of the Baronial hurling corps, wiil probably start this afternoons game against the Travellers. Whltey seems to have again struck his gait on. the mound, and in his last ap- pearance in the box in Memphis, logged along easily to a victory. He was :sife aten over in Memphis in 10 inE fgs, but if ever a pitcher ought to .win game, Whitey should have ca She'd in a victory on that struggle.
 Ewel-known and well-llked tlS- urs will be missing from the Little Roc ls7bench this afternoon, when the Travellers file out before game time, and that is Rube Robinson. The gem iaf Reuben has been sold to the 1 lef fgue leading Pelcans by the Tray elgrs. and now is dreaming of cham pionship series money. instead Cf oe- m daning his fate of being memper of Ia bottom place team.
