Ed wards, prominent physician who is held m connection with her death. Mrs. Edwards was found murdered carly Tuesday with her skull crush- yd.

The officers were told q man without a coat was seen leaving Fairfield. the fashionable suburb where the Edwards's lived, a few minutes after Dr. Edwards Yc- ported the murder of his wife. The fleeing man appeared 10 be wounded in the shoulder. Dr. Edwards claimed he fired three shots at the intruder in his home.

PITTSBURGH, PA, July 25y-The
st. Louis Giants, owned by Charlie
Mills, and with such stars in the line
I'D as Miles, McAdoo, Kennard, Bennett
Miller and Harris, invaded Forbes
Field Friday evening for a game with
the Homestead Grays.
After the dust had settled over the
historic field and the umpire had call
ed the game, glance at the score
board showed that the teams had
fought it out on even terms for ten inn
ings, the game ending in 5-5 dead
lcck.
Rile was on the mound for the Grays
while Hensley occupied Foggarty knoll
for the visitors. Both clubs played won
derful ball, and while the going was
loose at times, many errors OF omls'
sion and commission being pulled
heavy hitting and sensational fielding
kept the fans standing in their seats
most of the time during the game.
Up until the eighth inning, Hensley
had allowed but four hits, but these
4 hits coupled with numerous errors
ga! e the Grays four runs.
ST. Louis, getting away to slow
start, failed to register safe blow un
til the fourth inning and did not break
into the run column until in the fifth
when a triple and two singles scored
two runs. The going was nip and tuck
from then on, in fact until the cessa
ton of hostilities in the tenth.
The fielding of Miles and the hitt're
of Graham featured in the contest.

DAIRY SCHOOL HEAD PRAISED
FOR MISREPRESENTATION.

Although a group Of white high
school students in Darby, Pennsylvania
protested against the appointment OF a
colored girl, Hilda Bolden, as valedic-
torian of their class, and threatened to
hold separate commencement exercises
Of their own, the school authorities led
by Walter R. Donthett, superintendent
of schools in Darby, stood by the color
ed girl.
$50 far as we are concerned there is
no race distinction in the schools, y
Mr.. DoRthett is quoted as saying.
Mr.. Donthett's stand, based on Miss
BoldenB excellence as student, elicit
ed letter Of appreciation from the N.

"Unequivocal and courageous action
like yours in refusing to listen to race
prejudice will be source of much en-
enlargement to other colored children
wifi will aspire to high records, know

FLOWERS WILL TAKE ON TWO
FIGHTERS BEFORE GREB.

Benefited by vacation at Bruins
wick, his native town-Tiger Flowers,
one of the most sensational and success
full ba,tlers that the south has produc-
ed is ready to tackle another strenuous
ring campaign, which will be started
July 81, when he meets Jamaica Kid,
an old rival at Covington, KY.
This fight and the one with Joe Dow
ney, at New York on July 26 are sched
uled for the sole purpose Of helping
get Flowers on edge for the task Of
standing up with Harry Greby in their
ten-round no decision match at Free
mont, Ohio, on August IA. The fight
with Downey will take place at the Com
monwealth Athletic Club, in New York
City. That go will mark the Tigers
SIXTH appearance in that club and if
the outcome is the same as in the other
five matches Flowers will win handily.
Following the fight with Downey,
Flowers will proceed Immediately to
Fremont, where he will open public
training program on August 4th. The
terms of the Tigers contract specify
that he must workout in public for ten
days. In carrying out that order he
will be benefited to the extent of fifty
cents per head for every person who
views the training.
Greb was successful in inflicting his
own referee on Promoter Bronson, but
he too will be required to live up 10
the public training required of the con
tender for his crown. While the no de-
cision angle r0bs the fight Of consider
able Of it's championship flavor it is
certainly going to be big pngilistic
affair if put over in the manner plann-
ed by Promoter Bronson. A contract
has already been let for the construc-
ton of a special arena, with a seating
capacity of $4,000.
Moving pictures will be made of the
fight and the Tiger will share in the
proceeds therefrom. This is the first
time that Flowers has engaged in a
bout Of sufficient interest to warrant
moving pictures.
Both Miller and the Tiger are conf.
dent that the latter will make a good
showing against the middle-weight
champion of the world. Greb has never
been noted for his knockout punch. He
is jabbing, cutting fighter more on
the style of Flowers, but it is doubtful
if the crown wearer can command the
speed that is the pride and helping pow
er Of Flowers. The latter is rated as
one of the fastest men in the ring.

more than that of Skis and towering
above him easily foot. The crowd,
the largest ever to witness fight here
clamored for a knockout. The senti-
ment was plainly anti-Sih. Sikh
weighed 17S.
AT no time during the fight did Bell
nett show any signs of being a scrap
per. OF the few blows he succeeded IN
landing, not one was with his right;
he didn't use it once. Sikh was fast,
but because of the toughness Of his op
ponent and his dumb style of fighting
was unable to mix" much in the first
few rounds. However, as the fight
dragged on and the crowd and the ref
cree insisted on more strenuous light
Sikh extended himself
Breaking through Benefits guards,
he showered blows to- the kidneys,
short-ribs and head, all of which failed
to unbalance Bennett. In the eleventh
round, Sikh appeared. to have Bennett
at his mercy, only the bell saving him
from a possible K o. Both men were
badly butchered up in the last round,
which was fought seven minutes in
stead of three, as they were supposed
to fight.
H. Thompson, managing editor of the
Wheeling Advocate. says: "To Jim
Downing local boxing promoter, goes
the 'booby prize for staging the odd
demonstration of iightheavyweight,
and heavyweight. He also saved few
dollars by refereeing the entire bill
consisting Of four matches-one be-
tween Skis sparring partner, Pierre
Nicholas and Micky Flynn, which was
lively affair. He placed himself in
the disfavor Of many Of the colored
fans when he refused to allow the time
keepers to ring the bell and later left
the ring with the two men savagely
struggling. Just seven minutes after
the round began and after the referee
had acted so disgracefully, Skis man
ager got into the ropes and took Sikh
to his corner"

Tex Richard, whose unequalled pow

Miller that he wants to put Flowers on

A notable thing in his career is the
fact that he has never been cautioned
for fouling an opponent, he has never

his matches Flowers only weighs 16O

There never was a fighter more de-

merits are agreed that he will go down
in ring history as Negro who had the
most brilliant fight record OF any or
his contemporaries. James ]. Corbett'

Flowers has been fighting under the
