Washington, Dec. R4.-(AP)-Mike
McTigue, who lost the worlds light
heavyweight boxing tital to Raul Ber-
leubach last summer, has earned an
other chance at<the crown by his de-
feat of the sensational negro Tiger
Flowers of Atlanta in the Christmas
fund bouts in Madison Square Garden
last night.
The Fighting Irishman." always
admired for his defensive experiences,
came out OF his shell against Flowers
and turned back as good as received.
He was different McTigue from the
man who kept away from Berlenbach
during q slow. uninteresting contest in
which the title passed last summer.
But there were many at the ring
side who believed that the negro had
gained the verdict by his constant
flashing out which time and time again
drove the former champion to cover.
Some boxing writer's gave Flowers
seven of the 10 rounds, which, under
the most recent ruling of the New
York state athletic commission would
give him the battle. Under this ruling
the greater number of rounds won de-
cides the winner.

lesson in efficiency from Europe.
This Is in the loss of life
and property Though fire. What
we gain by business efficiency
we are losing to quite an extent
by carelessness In the matter
of fires. Space here does not per-
init as thorough q discussion OF
this subject as might prove Of value
but a comparison between condi-
lions in London and in New York
may be taken as typical Of the
situation in the United States and
In Europe.
In 1924, according to the best
available information obtainable.
there were only IS serious fires in
the city Of London. 3.s1e slight ones
and 974 so-called "chimney-fires."
The total estimated property loss
was e911,ss7, the total number Of
fires being less than 5000, while in
New York City during the same
period there were 22.s31 fires which
destroyed property worth $ls,-
e$4,S35.
These figures indicate the superb
GRITTY OF FIRE prevention effort in
Europe as compared with condi-
lions in the United States.
Here our fire losses amount to
about 1875 of the total amount of
money expended in building activi-
ties.
:. Most fires occur through careless.
ness and the only way this element
can be eliminated Is by education.
The business men Of America
could with profit spend in thrift
education a small percentage of the
money lost In fires.
Our amazing fire losses testify to
the greayer need q this phase az

lOppOse Bobby Jones

St. Augustine, Dec. pa million
aire sportsman's hobby for goiI Is
responsible for the decision of Archie
Compstoil and Arnaud Massey, the
greatest golfers in Europe, to come
TO America for the winter, it was re-
yealed here today. d. +. Davis OF
this city and Tampa is the patron
OF sports who liz making 1t possible
for golf followers of this country to
see in action the best linksmen Eng
land and France have produced in
years.
Compston the white hope" of
British golf, holder of the profess
siorlal championship of that country,
and Massey, French open champion,
are now on the high seas, bound for
Florida, after both had Announced
several months ago that they had
no intention of visiting the States
this winter.
d. P. Davis, Florida's outstanding
developer, Is an ardent golfer-and
personally engaged Johnnys Farrell
and Bobby Cruickshank to spend the
winter at Tampa, to play as that
city's representatives, and to give
him pointers In the ancient game.
This winter, Davis Is spending most
of his time at st. Augustine. on his
Davis Shores project, just off the
mainland of this city, involving more
than $50,000,000. He will play some
golf for recreation, and he had heard
so much about the prowess of
Compston and Massey, that he
thought he would like to see them
in action, as well as having other
American golf players see them.
When informed that Compston
and Massey were determined not to
come to America-Compsto said he
preferred to wait until after he had
won the British open championship
next year-Davis commissioned a
prominent golf writer to open nego-
tiations for the appearance of the
two European stars here. He offered
such tempting sum to each that
they could hardly ignore 1t and as
a result Compston and Massey ca
bled their acceptance of winter po-
sitions at st. Augustine.
Their first match in this country
will be played In this city on Sum
day. Jan. 3, and their opponents will
be the greatest amateur players in
America. Bobby Jones. the national
champion, and Watts Gum. Mr. Da-
Wis will put his business cares away
that day in order to follow the in
ternational match. a match that his
love for sports made possible.
