Kilbane Is 7 to 5 Favorite Over Eugene Criqui, French Champion

FEATHERS WILL MEET AT POLO GROUNDS JUNE 2 Smartness of U, S, Scrapper Tops Frenchie—Should Be Hot Encounter, By HENRY L. FARRELL Vnited Press Sports Editor SEW YORK, May 29. (Johnny Kilbane is ruling a 7 to j J favorite to retain his featheri weight championship when he meets Eugene Criqui at the Polo 'Grounds next Saturday after:noon. Boxing experts who have | looked over the French holder of the i European championship all admit ; that he is a nice young fellow, that | he has a most extrarordinarily goodlooking wife and that the war cost ! him a lot. But so far as his chances with the venerable champion are concerned, the verdict is that Kilbane is too good with his right hand and that he knows too much. Kilbane has trained very carefully and a general feeling among the experts that he should win has not made him look too lightly upon his challenger. Kilbane knows too much for that. The champion will work under one handicap unless he has picked up some doughboy French since he signed for the Criqui fight. Johnny has worked himself out of several tight places with language and the only thing that, Criqui knows of Johnny's language is "dollars." The verbal refernce to currency will not razz the Frenchman. Criqui is being regarded in more or less of a sympathetic light. The | Frenchman is a war hero, much more i of a hero than Carpentier. He lost a j part of his jaw at Verdun and he came j back to the ring with a piece of rib I grafted into his cheek. He claims that the operation gave j him an iron jaw and that it severed the connection of the nerves between ! the "button” and the brain. Kilbane ' remarked rather facetiously that if a shrapnel on the jaw could not stop Criqui he had his doubts about anyone's right hand doing the trick and some of the short end bettors artfiguring the same ♦ way.-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Foot Action Important , Factor in Golf „ By Mike Brady Western Open Champion

AGAIN taking up the topic of slicing, and remembering the advice against that stiff left leg, take a comfortable square stance, the feet practically on a line and be sure that you are firmly set on both feet. Then as the club is started hack, slowly, chiefly with the

left hand, let the left knee turn in as the body starts to turn. As the left knee turns, until it is just about pointing at the ball, the heel will come up from the ground and the weight that is still carried bv the left leg will be all on the big toe and the left side of the ball of the foot. Then as the downstroke is made the left foot will pomp down (and be sure that it comes down firmly), the weight of the body will be in considerable measure transferred to that foot, the right knee should come in to assist the body in getting around, the right heel come up and the right toe will be digging into the turf.

The movement of the feet is of tremendous importance in the correct golf stroke and if these movements are gone through the chances are altogether against any pulling of the club across the hall, to impart that terrible slice. There is of course the danger of trying to pivot too far with the body, in doing which it is quite possible to turn the left knee too far in. until it is on a line with the left leg, with the heel high in the air and the weight on the tip of the toes. That is apt to he almost as barf rs not pivoting at all.
