HERO OF VERDUN PUTS CLEVELAND CHAMP OUT
 WITH LITTLE TROUBLE

his friends during the action, be- cause people were beginning to think he wasn't as sore as he should be in fight. uJohnny complied with a grin.
 Fighting Defenseively.
 Kilbane was fighting defensively. Dancing back or blocking with great he shot out of his corner like man with his pants afire and swung two rights at Criqui's jaw. Both were an inch away. Johnny knew he was getting no better fast, and continued to stake it all on that right. He swung and hooked it and after each attack would dance around Criqui on the ball of his feet dag zling the Frenchman, whose arms thus were pulled away from his chin, leaving him open for more of the same.
 But when the bell banged again, there was Criqui. unhurt, as strong as he was when the fight began and well in his stride by now. In tho other corner was Kilbane, winded, worried and forced to the sad con clusion that his title had to go be- cause he could neither withstand Criqurs body blows nor hurt him with anything of his own.
 Round was still in it's first min ute when Criqui banged his right on Johnny's ribs just where they cover the heart, and followed the assault with two punishing left smashes to the pit of his stomach. Kilbane grunted and winced. To those who knew kilbane this meant that he was badly hurt-wo~ SC hurt Criqui realized, because Criqul
 D-1i te-1, ment evokes only grins from Kilbane to hide his true condition. Every blow with any force at all was hurting Kilbane now and Chiqui was clouting him freely on the head and in the body.
 There was an excited council In Kilbane's corner after the fifth. One of his seconds took down the silvered horseshoe with the American and Irish colors entwined whicf. the boys from Cleveland had hung in' the cor ner just before the battle. He showed it to Johnny and put it back on the ropes. Kilbane chatted about some mysterious business they were cook ing up. Then came the bell and as Johnny sailed out his friend, Owen O'Malley, called after him: "Get set, get set now, John" That tipped off the plan. Kilbane was sent out to fire all he had in this round. He proddled Criqui with short right to the jaw. Criqui didn't know he was hit. The Frenchman crowded Kilbane and ripped both gloves to the body Johnny backed off, with his gloves folded over his middle. He tossed a right to the jaw and took two more moderately hard smacks in the body. They fiddled an instant and then Criqui started a right swing with no particular aim. It carried high through the air like twenty others before it which had failed to land. But this one bumped Kinbane's chin and down went the little old business man who won the championship by decision from Abe AtteN, in Vernon, Cal.
