[This is the last known match that I have for Deglane.
I don't have any results for him 1951-1953 and then in October 1954 he showed up again.
The interesting thing about his return is that he wasn't working for his old friend/business partner Raoul Paoli.
At the time Paoli (and his matchmaker Goldstein) was running Paris venues like Palais des Sports, Cirque d'Hiver and Central, while Deglane was working for Henri Chausson at Elysee-Montmartre.
During his final run Deglane worked names such as Jacques Ducrez, Al Cabrol and Hermann Reiss]
