Eugene Corri: writes in the Edinburgh Spening Dispatch as I am afraid that my friend, Charles B. Coonran who was responsible for staging the last championship Fred Welsh and Willie Ritchie-in this country, has not made a great deal of money out of what I am sure is a noble idea-giving every facility to the French boys to show their paces outside their own country and at. the same time presenting us with an oppor tunity of estimating how far the French have progressed during the past five years.

But the science of the Village district, held at Green- surgeau has worked such wonders that the lad, although disfigured, and obliged to wear a plate in his mouth, appears to suffer no in convenience, and is as game and as full of fight as ever. Before he came to London a week ago they told me that he was nearly as good as Charles Ledoux; the number of fights he has won since bis discharge from the Army was certainly impressive, but Ledoux if he is anything like he was in 1914, would probably beat Criqui without a very great deal of trouble.
