Georgia Negro Wins Decision by
 NarroWest Of Margins

Now York, Fob, q GPl --- Thco- doro rTPcrl IloWrs, q negro from Atlanta, Georgia. So years old and veteran of eight years of ring hatths, today Is mid1lcweipht champion Of the world.
 Th" crown is his hy virtue Of a l1-round victory on points over Harry Grcb Of Pittsburgh at Madi- son Square GnrIcN last night wherein the margin was not very largo. yet enough 10 convince the judges and referee. Without taking credit for Flowers conquest it must lo admitted that Grob was not what he had been in previous d"fcns,s Of his title. for after four rounds he forsook his windmill" attack and poised his right hand for q damaging blow
 This blow never landed and Flowers, flashing out continually. gained Inc verdict for aggressive ness and q willingness to fight throughout. Many critics argued that the decision should have been a draw, so close were lines drawn; that a championship should not change hands unless the challenger shows allaround superiority. but tho New York state boxing com mission has ruled that fights shall he decided by the number of rounds won and under this ruling the decision last night was made.
 Flowers, in the opinion of n"ws- rapcrmcn, had at least six of inc rounds while Greb won no more than five and four were even.
 Red Mason, manager of the for mcr champion. said after inc con test that if Flowers had won, then he vas the victor by the narrowcst Of margins. Flowers manager. Walker Miller, said that his boxer woull have shown 10 better adyan- tage had not Greb locked arms around his opponent from tho ninth round 10 the end.
 "Harry," Walker said 70 Grcb in the dressing room, "wc're going Q sign papers and leave the oppo. nont's name out. You can be that opponent, Tiger will fight any mid 1leweight in the world in three months. You can take him if you want him. We bar nobody"
 Flowers probably has suffered more knockouts than any other champion the world has known His road has been q hard one and he h4s been pittcd against the mightiost men of his weight, He went in the test with Greb any thing but favored.
