Bitten Dust

Every boxer worthy of the name, be he the weight of a feather or as beefy as a bull, has a famed right, a famed left, or a famed uppercut or something famed.

When Danny Frush, English featherweight, met Eugene Criqui, ex-featherweight world's champion at Paris, the latter had a famed right, but it served him in a most "un-famed" way.

After seven whirring rounds the

honors stood even. In the eighth, jabs became good honest punches and one from Frush caught "Gene" Criqui, his face already bloody and his eyes staring, on the jaw and he was counted out. After the fight, Danny Frush announced that he would sail to the U. S. and contest the world's featherweight championship with the present holder of the title, Johnny Dundee, who introduced him to astronomy in the ninth round of a fight which took place in 1922. The vanquished said, when interviewed at "his modest Montmartre mansion": "I am through. . . . No more fighting for me. . . . Gene Criqui can't bite any more sawdust in front of anyone else. Ex-champions should not try to come back. . . . Frush is a good man, but there have been many days in my life when I could have beaten him quickly. . . . I wish Frush luck. . . . Let's have a little supper"--and Criqui turned to his wife, whose eyes were filled with tears. New World's Records
