Flowers Fights Greb So
Hard, Latter Draws Color
Id Line For Future Fights.

going to take a chance on getting
licked to a fragile by Flowers, so
that's why he drew the color line.
Persons who have seen Greb in
numerous fights declare that they
never saw him fight so hard in his
entire ring career as he was forced
to do in his battle with Tiger Flow
ers of Atlanta, in their bout at Ere
mont, o. last Thursday night.
Seldom has it ever been noticed
where Greb appeared to be somewhat
bewildered by an opponent in the
prize ring. But on several occasions
Flowers appeared to have Greb COM
pletely under his control. On two
occasions during the bout if Flowers
had followed up his strong slashes
to Greb's chin, the Pittsburgh man
would have been his victim.
But Flowers is wise. That was a
no decision, no title fight. Flowers
was waiting for a chance to get
somewhere. Greb found that out,
got afraid and drew the color line
from now on. So really Flowers is
the best man. Should be champion,
but color line stands in way of real
chance.

SAM LANGFORD PULLS DOWN
$436 WITHOUT HITTING BLOW.

NEW YORK, Aug. Pip. N. S.
The most noted veteran of the
ring, Sam Langford, pulled down a
S436 purse here last Friday night
at the Lafayette theatre, and he did
not have to take jolt in the tummy
or smash on the jaw to earn the
money. Old Sam just ambled across
the stage and ambled back again.
Then he acted as referee for the
spirited three.round exhibition be-
tween Joe Jeanette and one of
, eannette's pupils.
But, poor Sam was as bashful as
a school girl and the famous old
hero of the prize ring was nearly
frightened to death when Mr.. Bern
ard, master of ceremonies, intro
duced him as the 'Uncrowned King"
OF the prize ring. The show netted
about $S73.40, from which the war
tax and expenses left a balance of
S436. This sum will. be added to
by several contributions due the
committee and it is expected that
the sum will exceed the $500 mark
on final calculations.

fired went within an inch from my
heart. The second shot struck me
in my right breast, just as I turned

and fell on my face. After falling
she shot me in the back. That ball

victory for Flowers over him now
would be an easy matter. On the
other hand, it is thought that FLOW
ers went into the battle filled with
doubt, but the great showing he made
against the Pittsburgh fighter has
given the Atlanta boy courage. Greb
and his manager are aware OF this
psychological phase Of the matter
and therefore have drawn the color
line, to avoid the possibility of los
ing his crown to Negro.
In some quarters it is said that

Greb and his manager soon after

requested that he not again meet

PITTSBURGH, PAb Aug. as
Although Harry Greb, worlds mid
dleweight champion, received S7,012
for his 10-round, no decision bout
with Tiger Flowers, who got $2,74S,
as his share, Greb announced last
Friday that from henceforth and
hereafter and for all time he would
draw the color line. 1t was all be-
cause Flowers worried him so serious
ly during the ten rounds at Fremont,
Ohio. In fact Flowers compelled
the famous Jumping Jack" of Gar
field Bottoms to extend himself to
utmost in order to come through the
bout without his reputation being
furnished. In fact, many spectators
Of the bout believe that Greb won by
only the slightest margin. In fact
they claim that were Flowers and
Greb to meet again soon in the ring.
Flowers would put him to sleep.
1t is believed that Flowers has

Quoting figures showing the amount

there have not been sufficient appro-

condition in the schools here and said
that larger appropriations will have
to be made in order that the school
needs may be met.
Commissioner Tigert described how
other cities have issued bonds in
order to carry out adequate school
building programs and that Wash

way of schools. He urged members
of the club, as business men, to look
upon the school needs from a bust
