laid. The actual recruiting of mem
bers began April 7. A final caucus
was held at St. Louis, Mo-, May $40

adopted and general policies were
formulated. Milton J. Forman, Chi

Minneapolis, November 1912, 1919.
A constitution was adopted, national
officers elected and permanent head
quarters established at Indianapolis.

organization was chartered by an
act of Congress, September 16, 1919.

Georgia Deacon Takes Eight of
10 Rounds; Comedies 10
Pounds to Opponent.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Tiger Flowers,
worlds middleweight boxing cham
pion, won referees decision over
Sailor Eddie Huffman of Los An
geles in 10-round boxing match
at the Coliseum tonight.
Flowers won so handily that the
contest was one-sided and Referee
Jimmy Gardner had no hesitancy in
raising the Georgia Negroes hand at
the finish.
Flowers won eight of the 10
rounds, setting furious pace in the
first six, that kept Huffman bewilder-
ed. In the sixth, however, Huffman
nailed Flowers with solid right to
the chin that sent the Negro back on
his heels and made Flowers much
more careful in the next round.
Flowers conceded 10 pounds in
weight to the Pacific coast fighter,
scaling 1913 pounds, while Huffman
weighed 17S.
Chuck Burns of San Antonio,
Texas, light heavyweight, scored a
technical knockout over AL Allegrini
of Los Angeles, in the sixth round
of a scheduled eight-round fight. AL
legrini, after being floored three
times, was unable to respond to the
bell at the beginning of the seventh
round.
Bob Lawson, Negro heavyweight of
Birmingham, Ala, and Jim Savage
of Chicago, fought 10-round draw,
but the crowd booed the decision,
evidently believing Lawson had won.

had travelled on the same train with
her from Chicago to California on a

that she had seen a young man pay
