ATLANTA DAILY PAYS
TIGER" FLOWERS TRIBUTE
BY Paul Stevens
(From Atlanta Constitution)

All the world for countless ages
has admired the fighter who fights
clean, who fights squarely, who fights
with every ounce of his strength, and
be he white, be he black or yellow,
if q fighter in war or fighter in
peace battles gamely and courageous
ly he wins the admiration and respect
of all, whether he win or whether he
lose.
Such fighter was "Tiger" Flow
ers, whose sudden death in New York
following minor operation came as
shock to the athletic world and as
a grievous blow to the tens of thou
sands of friends this sturdy Negro
possessed among both races in his
native Georgia.
In the ring "Tiger" Flowers reach
ed the highest pinnacle possible in his
class and thus brought to his native
state glory and honor. But beyond
this achievement "Tiger" Flowers
reached the supreme heights. With
all his honors, with all the adulation
showered on him in many states, with
all the temptations set before him
in other lands, this big and open
hearted Georgia Negro chose to live
and walk with his old friends and his
old comrades in his old home and
among his old haunts in Atlanta. His
head was never turned. He brought
credit to the Negro race at home as
well as abroad He was a clean liv-
ing man, man who loved his family
and his home life and who had the
desire and the stamina to resist those
temptations which have not always
been resisted by the champions of the
boxing ring, both those of the white
race and those of the Negro race.
Thrifty and frugal, "Tiger" Flow
ers husbanded his gains from many
hard and bitterly fought ring battles
and with them chose to do good deeds
and good works. He was liberal
contributor to the activities of his
church in which he served as a dea-
con. He was contributor to many
funds for the betterment of Atlanta
He built for himself and his family
a magnificent home and in its pos
session he had no envy from the per-
sons of any race.
The ring record of "Tiger" Flow
ers is known to every schoolboy in
Georgia. 1t was a victorious and
glorious record in more ways than
one. He won many glorious victor
les yet he was even greater in de-
feat. He won the championship of
his class and showed the bigness of
his heart by almost Immediately en-
tering the ring to defend his title.
He gave his rivals every chance de-
manded of square and honest fight
er, and, although many of his oppo-
nents failed to measure up to his
standard, the grizzled old Tiger"
never forgot his craftsmanship.
AS one of the many marks of the
high esteem in which he is held by
members of his race, directors of Lin
coin Memorial park have donated a
plot for the use of "Tiger" and his
heirs.

For some time said Mr.. Lasky,
1--WE have been making about is

fact that our old studio in Holly

there, we can make all Of our

them better, than under the present

MELLON GREAT
ART PATRON

Is Secretary Of the Treasury Mel
lon to become Washington's greatest
art patron?
On the list Of local philanthropists
of art are the names of the late WI.
liam W. Corcoran, the late Charles
M. Freer, Of Detroit, and the late
Senator William E. Clark, of Mon.
tana.
Corcoran gave to the city the IA.
nous art gallery bearing his name.
Senator Clark bequeathe6 a GEE.

gift for national museum of arr.
The Mellon museum IS 10 be placed
on the Mall. directly west of the Ma.
tional Museum.
Congressional authorization as.
signing the site to thu structure
probably will be given at the coming
session.
For nearly 20 years the National
Art Gallery has been housed in
cramped and crowded quarters in
the National Museum.
Many of its valuable paintings
have been stored for years, and
numerous gifts to it's collection have
been withdrawn because of the fail.
ure of the nation to exhibit them
to the public.
Proposals to erect a new gallery
have been before Congress for
years, but have always met with
lukewarm reception.
Now Secretary Mellon is to do for
the nation what Congress has re.
fused to do.
The Corcoran Gallery has been a
feature of the life of Washington
for nearly half a century, its pres.
ent building on Seventeenth Street
being now about 80 years old.
The Clark addition Is being
erected on e Street west of the
main structure.
The Freer museum was built on
the Smithsonian grounds about
seven years ago.
