Tiger Flowers, recently crowned
middleweight champion has the lat

had taken the Tiger more seriously.
the decision would probably have
been reversed.
And, IL Flowers had even a frac-
tion OF the ability of some Of the
old-time colored men, there prob
ably would have been no doubt at
all.
The worlds record of 9 3-5 Sec
onds for 100 yards never win be
broken by a white mans haste TO
give a negro contender shot at
his title.
Greb. Of course. concerned him
self only about the purse and not
over the color or ability of his op-
ponents, which was another break
for the Tiger. He might have
tried to do business with a less
obIiging champion, as many anoth-
er and better colored man did be-
fore him.
It would be absurd, for instance,
to couple Flowers name with that
of Sam IIangford or Peter Jack
son or Jack Blackburn or even
Harry Wills. Yet not one of the
first three ever got near a title
and the fourth might as well have
IeprOsy as far as Jack Dempsey
Is concerned.

greatest heavyweights of all time,
couldn't get a title shot, but this

AS for Jackson, he was the Harry
Wills of the old days. Sullivan
wouldn't meet him and he died a
nonchampion.
Johnson was good, but he had
,, to have plenty Of luck. He had
only to beat second rater, Tommy
Burns. for the championship. This
he did in Australia, after pursuing
BurEs half way around the world.
The other negro world cham
pions at various weights were
George Dixon, Joe Walcott, Joe
Cans, Dixie Kid and Battling Sikh.
All of them were ring immortals,
with the exception of the Battler,
who was a clown to the end.
Dixon, WaIcOtt and Dixie Kid
were too good to be kept out of
a championship, but, great as
Cans was, he had to take all the
worst Of il In the first Nelson
fight.
He really was the lightweight
champion. but hadn't been working

Deterioration
ofCurUe Ball
Is Noted BY
Veterans
Rx SID MERCER

What will develop this season
in the endless argument between
pitcher and batter?
Will the lively ball be as much
of a factor in the hitting this
season, now that the composition
of the core has been changed, and
will the easing of pitching restric-
tions in the National League re-
duce batting averages materially?
These are time questions now
that the big leagues are limbering
up in the southern training camps
for the 1925 campaign.
What is the difference between
the pitching Of today and 10 years
ago? Talk to the old-timers, who
still follow the game closely, and
they will tell you the art of curve
bali pitching has deteriorated. The
passing Of the spitball delivery has
eliminated an element Of deception
that bothered the free swingers no
little, but the veterans contend
that good "hook' singers can get
by as well as ever.
The observations Of men who
have stood In the rifle pit facing
the greatest hitters should have
some weight. They are the real
experts. We encountered one the
other day when we ran into
George Chalmers. who starred III
the National League not so long
ago as a member Of the PIlllltes
and the Giants.
II don't like to criticise," said
George, but that old baseball used
to whistle by my ears just as fast
as it does by the youngsters Eow
when they lay it in the groove.
But a good curve ball still fools
the batters. The records of John.
son, Rixey, AlexandeE, Vance and
some others prove that"
You know" says Chalmers,
that there are not SO many good
curve ball hitters playing today.
Where are the Donlins, Wagners,
Schultes, Clarkes, Merkles and
Doyles who could hit them back
past you as fast as the boys do
now? We didn't have the lively
ball then.
"A few old timers know how to
use the curve with speed, but in
the main the young fellow dishes
up speed, ducks and trusts to luck.
No wonder the batters lay hack
and take toe holds"
