Kearns Threatens To Talk If Pressed On
Subject Of FLOWERS And Mickey Walker

had taken place There is no secret
connected with it that l know of and
was made So.1ly TO protect the interests
Of Tiger Flowers, against just what did
happen at Chicago when Benny Yanger
virtually took the worlds title unjuStly
away from Flowers and gave it to
Walker.
Miller Was Warned
IT was warned by more than hun
dred close friends not to take the match
at Chicago, that would lose the title,
however, feeling that had the greatest
fighter in the world, a fighting cham
pion who surely would SO far outclass
Walker that it would be impossible to
have any funny business pulled, &C
cepted, but after the rank decision was
rendered, I realized that my friends
were right, that nothing short of a
knockout by Flowers would have saved
his title, and even then it's likely he
would have lost on foul.
The return match contract was made
solely to protect Flowers against unjust
treatment from the alleged Kearns
combination, which I previously had
been warned existed. Good proof Of this
Is the fact that I did not take any
precaution when Flowers defended his
title before the time allowed by the
commissions against the great warrior.
the late Harry Greb, who might wise
ly add, had soundly thrashed one Mr.
Walker on a previous occasion, almost
knocking him out. Flowers won the
title from Greb and I Immediately went
to his room after the match and offered
him a return match which he got and
was q second time defeated. This is the
policy of both Flowers and myself, is
all that the contract was made for and
IS all that I want. If Kearns will put
his pet champion in the ring as he
agreed in fifteen round match in
New York, the public will then have
a champion of the middleweight class
after the match who will meet all logi-
cal contenders and not wait until he is
forced to do SO or demand such price
from promoters that the match is pro-
hibitivc."

HAMPTON ISSUES
PAMPHLET Upon
RECENT STRIKE
Students Commended For
Their Excellent Order
During Protest

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VA, Nov. 2
:. The officials of Hampton Institute
have issued a pamphlet covering the
recent student strike which resulted in
the temporary closing of the institu-
ton. The pamphlet outlines the sit
uation which led up to the. strike and
enumerateS the results of the demon
Stration.
According to the pamphlet, So stu
dents we're denied readmiSSion to the
institution. OF these, five were dis
missed, twenty-seven were suspended
and ten will not be readmitted for the
present. Those dismissed may not re-
Rturn to the institution at this or any
subsequent session.
1t is stated that teachers are now
meeting classes as usual and for the
most part, the routine of the institution
has swung back to normal The adj
miniStration has the full support of the
alumni and friends of the institution in
its position.
Object to Lights
The immediate cause Of the strike, it
is pointed out, was the turning on Of
the lights in ogden Hall during the
showing of the weekly moving picture.
This the students objected to on the
ground that it was reflection on their
integrity.
The students also presented other de-
mands to the board, however. Accord
ing to the pamphlet, some of these we're
distinctly noteworthy, some were not Of
Importance, several were impractical
nd counTap1 could MT he writ ~
out adequate investigation.
Ten of these referred to matters of
privilege, such as recognition of the
student council in its requests to the
administrative board better food in the
dining hall, round dancing on special
occasions, a calling day for secondary
students, better laundered shirts and
longer Christmas holidays. The seven
complaints with regard to education are
characterized as unique in the annals
Of student strikes, demanding more and
better education. 1t was requested that
high school students be allowed to study
until 1890 p. m, that q system of per-
mitUed "cuts" be inaugurated, that GER
tain courses be given as outlined in the
catalog, that in three of the schools, the
educational system be improved; there
was general reference to the compel
ency Of certain instructors. The lead
Ners declared that the strike was on prin-
ciples and not personalities.
Show Solemn Spirit
The board spoke favorably Of the
manner in which the leaders main
tanned discipline during the strike and
remarked that the whole demonstration
had been remarkably free from rowdy-
ism. Mass meetings of the strikers
were opentso with prayer and no vio-
Ience was attempted On the buildings
or on students out Of sympathy with
the strikers.
The pamphlet states in closing that
there we're no racial alignments appar-
ent in the strike. Colored and Cauca-
sian members Of the staff co-operated
in excellent fashion to restore order and
effect the greatest ultimate good to the
institution.

Jack KearnS, manager OF Mickey
Walker making his first statement OF
facts" involving the argument between
Flowers and Mickey over the question
of the status of the middleweight title
matter introduces new angle. KearnS
admits he did enter into an agreement
for a return match adding with the air
Of a KearnS, "but certain things have
arisen which force me to do re-
verse" Kearns says also: IF Miller
continues to force the issue shall ex-
plode a bomb that will drive both Flo
wers and his manager out of the fight
racket" It looks like muddy situation.
But Walk Miller is not to be disturbed
over any threat made by the foxy Jack
KearnS. Miller has an idea that Kearns
is finding an easy way out in all effort
to protect his charge. Here is what the
Tiger Flowers boss has to say:
Jack KearnS, the perfulned 'foX" of
the boxing game, has been quoted in
public prints recently with an alleged
threat that he will expose certain Sin
side information in connection with
his signed contract for return match
between Walker and Flowers within
ninety days after the Chicago fiascc
that will bring about the lifetime suS-
pension of both Flowers and myself
Such threat, if made, is purely 'ap-
plesauce;' unfounded and he will no
more carry it out than he has his writ
ten.
1 expect to exhaust every effort in my
attempt to have Walker suspended by
both the National Association and the
other states who are not connected and
confidently feel that all the commits
Sions will honor our contract and stand
for fair play only. I earnestly request
and implore 'Dapper Jack to explode
with anything he may think will enable
him to protect his so-called world
champion, in regard to the making of
that contract. It is an open book SO
far as Flowers and myself are con-
cerned and has been mailed in photo
static form throughout the world as
well as being announced publicly before
the Walko--FlowerS match at Chicago
