Tunney won the fight. He stopped
his man. All of his gang from the
village was there to see him do it.
Tunney changed his mind about
fighting only one fight at the neigh

others and won them all, looking
better each time.
One of those four fights was
staged at the old Paramount a. c.,
which was then operated by Billy
Gibson, Tunney's present manager.

Philadelphia counted itself five mil.

of having been selected as the place
for the Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney

tolls on thousands of words which
newspapers will telegraph from Phil

all the other items are counted in,
the fight becomes almost a 1000,

And the bets to be made will
swell that figure.

Negro MiddIeWeight Holds

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Tiger
Flowers is still worlds middleweight
champion today. He retained the
title in taking the decision over Hal.
ry Greb in fifteen rounds of rough
and tumble fighting in Madison
Square Garden last night.
The $4,000 fight fans present did
not regard the two to one verdict of
Judges Mathison, Barnes and Crow
ley with favor. Flowers had the best
of seven rounds, Greb won six and
two were an even break.
1t was a Greb audience that
watched.the fight. They came ready
for a spectacle of the oldtime Greb
fury. They saw plenty Of rough
stuff. but, gallant though 1t was,
Grebs assault lacked the power OF
the Greb of other battles.
Y Consistent Fight
Flowers, on the other Ind, fought
a consistent fight, and although
forced by the Pittsburgh boy to
alter his attack each time Greb's
rushes and wrestling became maud
lin he managed to regain his form.
and took the rounds in order OF
second, fifth, eighth, ninth, tenth,
twelfth and thirteenth, slowly Sam'
mering back Greb's assaults.
The fourteenth round was opened
by Greb with a rushing attack that
promised a snap-back to the old
Greb form. He hammered Flowers,
rushing him about the ring and
forcing him into the ropes with the
fury of his attack.
Finishes Fast
Greb kept up these tactics TO the
end of the fifteenth round, fighting
madly, disregarding his own de.
Tense and easily taking the final
rounds from Flowers.
But, despite the furious pace of
the challenger. he failed to connect
with the Flowers machinery and
finished a loser on points.
The finish carried the crowd to
Greb and when Referee Crowley an
nounced the verdict which retained
Flowers title, the news was greeted
by a storm of straw hats and papers
pelted into the ring by disappointed
friends of the Pittsburgh fighter.

YOU may find it hard to adjust
your feet to lower heels, because
your arches may be weakened
by the unnatural position IN
which they are held by the very
high heel. But in the long run
your health will be benefited and
the natural beauty of your feet
will be preserved If you accustom
yourself to smart walking shoes
with moderate heels for ordinary
wear.
Here's an exercise which should
strengthen the muscles or your
ankles, heels and insteps, and.
In fact, call into play most or
the muscles of your legs. For
this reason, it will, il you prac-
tice it faithfully, tend to give

change back and forth from high
to low heels.
Stand with your neck and back
straight, your arms extenoeo
from the shoulder at both sides,
your right foot slightly in adj
vance of your left, it's heel touch
ing your left foot midway be-
tween heel and toe, both feet
pointed front. Shift your weight
until it rests over the ball OF
your right foot. AS you do so,
lift yourself to your tip-toes. In
making this movement, see that
the muscles OF the balls of your
feet, not of your heels lift you.
Stoop as low as you can in
squatting position, without touch
ing your heels to the floor. Rise
again to full height, still keeping
your arms extended, your heels
raised. Return to first position.
Repeat the exercise three or
four times, then alternate by
advancing your left foot shifting
your weight to that foot and pro-
ceeding as before. 1t may be
several weeks before you can
master this exercise. BY that
time you should find 1t easy to
do it five times with the right
foot leading, then five times with
the left foot in advance.
If you practice 1t faithfully and
accurately each day 1t will add
greatly to the muscular strength,
symmetry and grace Of your feet,
