Cross.stitch Decoration.

For the bureau and dressing table
scarfs cross-stitch Is advised either
done silhouette fashion, in the color
of the scheme of the room or else in
black, or some contrasting shade on a
foundation that strikes the color note.
There are fabrics in square weaves
that may he used. With such ma
terials no canvas is needed over which
to work the cross-stitches. If heavy
hangings are wanted monks cloth is
recommended, because it has this
weave to a marked degree. B2adwork
can be employed for the pincushion
for the dressing table.

that approximately 240 applications
averaging $1,000 each are being ap-

While the campaign for reinstate-

indications are that the volume Of

nearer and the bureau has made
preparations for the receipt and han

Practically the only difficulty be-

WHAT IS COLTS
HARDEST SHOT
Good Mashie to the Green
Gives Most Satisfaction,
Experts Say

What is the hardest shot in golf
the shot that is Of more Importance
than any other?
Many golfers have their own opin-
ion concerning the answer To that
question.
But nine out Of every 10 profess
and leading amateurs as
well, will have one understand that
il is the mashic or mashie-niblick
that carries the ball to the green
from l75 or $50 yards away That is
the most important shot of them all
One cannot hole out until one is
or the green. And Of what value
are the beautiful drives up near the
green if it takes three and -four
strokes to get on?
Those are the questions thrown al
one trying to argue pro into be.
lieving that any other shot on The
course is Of more Importance than
the mashic or mashieniblick to the
green.
II is doubtful if any other shot
on the course, aside from the hole in
one, gives golfer as much salts
faction and thrill as the well-playet
mashie to the pin--the mashie Of 15(
or ITS yards that lands within two
yards or so of the standard.
Shot Much Neglected
Many golfers spend long hours
trying to improve their driving OF
in trying to obtain longer distance
in their driving but sadly neglect tn
practice the mashie needs in orde
to produce good results.
Many golfers, just starting out
probably find that they could shoe
fairly good score If 'only tina
mashie wasn't in their kits"
The mashic and mashie-niblick ar
strange clubs to the inexperienced
They offer difficulties Of trouble
some nature.
And yet, the golfer doesn't liv
who cannot trace back through hi
very best scores and recall that
was the expertly played mashie t
the pin that enabled him to shorte'
the number Of puts generally needle
to rattle the cup.
1t requires hours of patient prae
tice to master the art of pitchin
close to the pin, but what thrill tn
well-played mashie gives!

FLOWERS WINS
BATTLE WITH
HARRY GREB
Takes Middleweight Crown
Is Awarded Six Rounds,
Greb Given Five

New York. Feb. 26.--tR Theodore
tTiger) Flowers, negro from Allan
Ia, Georgia, 80 years old and veteran
of eight years of ring battles, today
Is midd!cweight champion OF the
world
The crown is his by virtue Of
15-round victory on points over Harry
Greb Of Pittsburgh at Madison Square
Garden last night. The margin was
not large, yet enough to convince the
judges and referee.
Greb was not what he had been in
previous defenses of his title. for
after four rounds he forsook his
windmill" attack and poised his right
hand for a damaging blow.
Some Critics Called 1t a Draw
This blow never landed and Flow
crs, lashing out continually. gained
the verdict for aggressiveness and
a willingness to fight throughout.
Many critics argued that the decision
should have been draw. But the
state athletic commission has ruled
that fights shall be decided by the
number of rounds won.
Flowers. in the opinion of critics,
had at least six Of the rounds, while
Greb could muster no more than five
and four were even.
Flowers probably has suffered
more knockouts than any other
champion the world has known. He
went into the test with Greb any
thing but favored because last winter
Jack Delaney, the light heavyweight
from Bridgeport. Conn, knocked HIM
out twice.
Flowers Has Had Many Reverses
On eight occasions Flowers has
heard 10 counted over him. four
times in 1922 when Kid Norfolk. Sam
Langford, Lee Anderson and Jamaica
Kid accomplished the feat. once IN
1921 when Joe Cans was his adver.
sary. and again in 1923 when Kid
Norfolk required a single round Ia
win.
Last year. besides the Delaney re
verses, he lost To Lou Bogash on q
foul at Boston and was beaten b!
Mike McTiguc in New York. although
few at the ringsidc agreed with The
verdict.
Flowers is married and has ont
daughter He formerly entered thu
ring at about 10 but by constan
dieting has brought himself dowi
to the middlewcight limit.
Greb won the title from Johnn.
Wilson Of Boston three years ago.
