ENGLISH PROMOTER
SAYS CRIQUI MUST
FIGHT FRUSH FIRST
Has Frenchman Signed and
Brands Kilbdne Stories
I'D. as "Tosh."
RY EAIRPLAY.

Copyright, 1928. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 16.-What's this
What's this,
Major Wilson advises us. as of today
that this talk Of n meeting between
Bene Criqui, the French feather, and
Johnny Kilbane. champion of the
world. at the Polo Grounds next sum.
mer is all tosh.
That's what he says-tosh.
And why?
Well. according TO the sreat English
fight promoter, he has Criqui under
pledge to exchange wallops with Danny
Frush in London. And be intends 10
hold him to his pledge.
London has had many n worse bout
than one between Criqui aud Fanny
would promise to be. 1t will be recalled
that Kilbane beat Frush OYc: in this
country in Kills last battle in defense
of his title. But there seems TO be the
impression that in addition to using his
two hands, the champion used his right
knee. Anyway, Danny was putting up
real nifty little battle when he got
his fare-thee-wcll.
FruSh has been over in England for
some time and the other night he
fought very good battle against Bill
Handley, toying with him 70: sometime
and then slowing him away. fIandley
is not in the class with Billy MATHEWS
or Mick McAdam, two.well-known Eng
lish feathers, but it was not SO much
that Danny Put Handley away as the
easy manner in which he accomplished
il. Major Wilson intends to puS Frush
against both these boys in the near fu-
ture. leading ur to the projected CriGm
fight
Considerable criticism was today di.
rected toward Chairman Muldoon OF
the New York boxing commission be-
cause he refused 10 perml5 a repre-
sentative to attend informally tic SEES
sir of the National Boxing .AsScC,a-
ton. Now. Mr.. Mpldoon is sometimes
crotchety. H is frequently 'mpulSlve
TO the point of making weird rules. But
no one in this world or that 10 come
knows more of the boxing game than
Muldoon. Furthermore, his worst ell
emics admit no more honest guy ever
lived than Muldoon. 1t won't bur. to
withhold Judgment until all t., ballots
arc in. MuldOon wants to he shown
lust What it's all about. SO do Others
of us.
For instance. there wasn't much 81
onyts ing done Monday except speech
making in which a prominent sculptor
said:
Il regret so much has been sail and
written about crookedness and eorrup-
ton in boxing. l believe the game Is
today one Of the cleanest sports in
America
Well, those are strong words. The
game is better, but-did YOU happen. TO
notice the ruling Of the French boxing
federation in the Carpentier-Siki case:
Maybe all right, but.

Then along came Chris Smith and,
after turning out racing yachts that
won the chief racing events on the
Great Lakes, gave his attention to fast

Many years of tireless building,
changing, experimenting and studying
of details followed. and then Chris
and his sons began building speed boats
that astOnished the world and broke
all records to smthereens.
In fact. when Gar Wood went in
with the Smiths. racing the boats they
built, they developed speed that made
competition so hopeless that racing con-
ditions in many big races were changed
to bar hydroplane boats and limit
entries TO displacement boats.
Wood went TO England and brought
back the Harmsworth Gun. the great

by Mapleleaf.
Next year, English boat builders and
designers turned out their best and sent
over a challenger TO take the cup again.
The English boat was outclassed so

II a player who is closely guarded
holds the ball on the floor and makes no
attempt to put it in play, is it a foul o"

If the player is closely guarded, the
referee always rules it held ball and
puts it in play with a tossup. Usually
the referee reaches such a decision
