Erastus n. Warmer

With the death, early last evening
or Erastus H. Warner at his home
on Silver street, Waterville lost one
or its oldest and most interesting
citizens, man who, in the course
or his long and strenuous life played
an important part in the opening of
the western part of the nation to
civilization. Mr.. Warner had been
Ill but a few days and the news of
his death will come as a surprise to
many of those who had known and
liked him.
On last March 20. Mr.. Warner cell
ebrated his 93rd birthday, being born
in Erie county, N. Y, in 1888. AS
young man he felt the urge to be
one Of the adventures who were all
the time pushing farther into the I'M
explored west. He got as far as Chi
cago when in 1855 Horace Greeley
gave him the final impetus with his
advice, go west, young man." And
so for the next 20 years he roamed
the prairies, being surveyor, a cap
tain of an OK team and a buyer of
lumber. An event in his life to which
Mr.. Warner always pointed with
pride was when he, and few other
men, built the first house in what is
now the city of Denver, Col.
In 1870 Mr.. Warner was united in
marriage to Miss Ella NJ. Barney of
this city who was at that time visit
ing relatives in Omaha. For 35 years
Mr.. Warner was a prominent lum-
herman in st. Louis, Mo-, and in 1877
he was largely instrumental in found
ing the st. Louis Lumber Exchange.
Because of his wife's continued in
terest in Waterville and it's affairs
the Warmers came to make their
home here in 1915, the family home
being at p Silver street. Mrs. Warn
er died four years ago.
Two sons survive, Ralph w. Warn
er and Walter T. Warner, both of
st. Louis. Funeral arrangements are
to be announced later.

couldn't help but brag a little about
what a fine boxer her husband was.
Didn't Mr.. O'Brien say so himself?"
A local promoter hearing of this
persuaded the Tiger" to take try
at professional fighting and in one
of his earliest bouts Flowers broke
his right hand Which, incidentally,
is how he came to change about to
his southpaw style of fighting.
Gets First "k. o."
Then Walk Miller, who owned a
gymnasium at Atlanta, got interest
ed in Flowers and gave him job
as porter and started him off fight
ing in earnest. He had sixteen bouts
in 1921 and one of the men he met
practically in his first year was
Panama Joe Cans, a Negro cham
pion, who was far too experienced
an opponent and Flowers was knock
ed out in five rounds. Later on he
beSted Cans.
In 1922 Flowers had a busy year
and was forced to give away weight
in many of his battles. He lost on
a technicality to Jamaica Kid and
was stopped by Kid Norfolk and Lee
Anderson Later on he boxed Nor
folk to a draw.
Make NJ Y. Debut
Flowers made his debut in New
York about two years ago at the
Commonwealth club and finally
broke into bout in the old Gar
den, where he won over Johnny Will
son, the ex-champion of the mid
dleweights stopping him in sensa-
tional style. Year before last came
his first meeting with Harry Greb
Phoenix tribune., 1926-04-01

and he won over the champion by
big margin in a no-decision contest.
Then came the bouts with Jack
Delaney. Flowers seems made to
order for Delaney, but despite the
quick knockouts suffered in these
contests, Flowers was in no whit
discouraged These were the only
defeats he has suffered in the last
three years.

middleweight champion He makes
it a practice to read three verses OF
the New Testament each morning
and afternoon of his life, even when
he is training he prayed little
harder than ever before his battle
for the title.
First Job Paid SIS Week
1t has been long, hard climb for
Theodore Flowers from a job of por-
ter at S15 a week in the gymnasium
of his present manager, Walk Mil
ler to the fistic heights. He was
born on August Is, 1895, at Camilla,
Ca, though most of his life he has
lived in the little village of Bruins
wick, Ca He is the son of God-fear-
ing parents who brought him up to
shun drinking, smoking and gam
bling. 1t was in 1917 that he put
on his first pair of boxing gloves.
Felt the Call
1t was Philadelphia Jack O'Brien
who was in a way responsible. This
same O'Brien happens to be the pro-
prietor of the gymnasium where
Greb always trains for his contests
here and where he trains for the
match that has just cost him his
title. In 1917 Jack O'Brien was con-
Quoting a gym in Philadelphia. He
was schooling Flowers who had been
at work in the shipyards in that city,
happened to drop into the gymna-
sum-
'T don't know what came over
me-" relates Flowers, "but l found
myself just itching to put on the
gloves with some of those novices." J"
So he spoke to O'Brien and the
latter consented to let Flowers spar
with some of the heavier pupils. He
had speed and natural aptitude for
all his greenness and O'Brien has
some nice things to say to him on
his showing That was what start
ed the "Tiger" off, though his wife
was in a way responsible for his
first professional bout.

He has only one regret in connec-
ton with his ring career His moth
er has never quite become recon
ciled to his fighting. For long
time she never referred to his work
in the ring. There's nothing else
about her boy she need be ashamed
of, say those who know Theodore
Flowers best And now that he is
a champion, maybe his mother will
be just a little bit proud of his pro-

Chapman finished In a style OF &
champ by plucking her birdie on

trick. On the next she took. q six,
one over par. and then on the
third. another par five-hole, she got
down with d four. From this point

on the third she was over par,
by two strokes. Five for par
was her lot at the fourth hole,
and once again she went over BY

On the next tee she settled her
game and began to score what is
called par figures. This came on
the sixth and seventh carpets. Then
she got her birdie at the eighth
and to top the hold round off
with a par at the ninth when q
putt failed. Her second nine was
negotiated in AZ, for a gross 90.
Another bit Of good golf resulted
when Mrs. J. v. Brownell registered
q bird at the second hole, 45s
yards. From the tee, she was down
the middle. Her second was one
and after taking the usual number
of putt. finished with one stroke
