TIGER FLOWERS
FICH FIRST,
LAST in N. Y.

| NEW YORK, Nov. II QP9-The same
ring in which Tiger Flowers made his
| New York debut also was the scene of
| the last fight in his colorful boxing
career, during which the Georgia
/. Deacon and the former middleweight
champion of the world earned around
half million dollars.
This was disclosed by Walk Miller,
! first and only manager of the Georgia
| negro, before leaving for Atlanta with
the body of Flowers, who died last
| night after undergoing minor eye
| operation
"The Tigers first fight here was
I just like his last" said Miller "Flow-
ers started against Lee Anderson, a
| light heavyweight, and knocked him
/ out in the fifth round at the Common
wealth club in Harlem. His last fight
was against Leo Gates, a heavyweight,
last Saturday and Flowers won by a
knockout in the fourth round in the
same arena. They have changed the
name from the Commonwealth club
to the Olympic, but otherwise it is the
same place !"
Friends and ring nOtables, including
Gene, Tunney and Mickey Walker, the
man who took the middleweight title
from the negro, paid tribute to Flow
ers Scores visited the funeral parlor
where his body was taken after his
death at the private hospital of DR..
w. G. Fralick.
Miller not only served as manager
for Flowers fights but also was ad-
wiser to the boxer in other affairs.
Miller estimated Flowers earned half
million dollars during the seven years
in the ring, not deducting expenses
and other details involved in about
200 matches. Since losing his title to
Walker last December, Flowers had
campaigned against 10 opponents.
Flowers was the only negro who
held the middleweight championship.
He was very religious and deacon of
the Baptist church in his home town.
Before the operation, Flowers made a
will bequeathing property valued at
100000 to his wife and a 6 year old
daughter.

FIVE FEATURES
.ON CAMP JONES
HOLIDAY CARD

Fight fans of this part of Arizona
have a treat coming their way on
Thanksgiving night, according to
Lieut.. Luongo, of Camp Harry j.:
JONES' who is directing the program
for that date at the Service club.
Lieutenant Luongo has arranged a
program of a special, three prelimin-
aries and the big feature in which
''Whirlwind" Jett, of Douglas, will
meet Battling" Hicks, Of Nogales.
These boys are said to be in excellent
condition for the contest and both
are known to the fans as real battlers
in the ring.
Jett will enter the ring at $50
while Hicks scales 155, it is reported.
Both are already training for their
scrap and each has plenty of fol-
lowers who believe he can win the
bout.
In the preliminaries, Spike" Riley
and Bear Cat" Robinson will appear
in four round bout, and it is an
interesting fact that their weights
compare exactly as those of the
feature fighters. Speed Ball" Rogers
OF Company A and KID Lee of
Douglas are down for a six round
event, while Kid White, of Douglas,
and Jack Beaver, of California, are
to meet in an eight round slugfest.
The special is between Parson Pace
and Tubby Shelby, of Camp Jones,
their contention being to decide who
is the fastest fighter among the
camps big fat men. |
Lieutenant Andrews has been Sc
lected to referee the bouts while
Lieutenant Iuongo will perform the
duties Of timekeeper.

No Breathing Spells

No Breathing Spells
1t is doubtful if there ever was
a season in the history of collegiate
football that compares with the
present one for upsets.
Every Saturday since late Sep
tenber there have been anywhere
from four to a dozen games that
have resulted directly contrary to
the predictions of the experts.
Recently I had the opportunity to
discuss this unusual condition. with
a former All-American star of about
10 years back and he offered a
rather logical explanation of the
many form reyersals in football.
@Too hard a schedule, necessitat-
ing that the coach point his team
for too many consecutive games
with out having breathing spell
in between was the solution or
fered by the All-American star.
Football is strenuous sport and
you can't ask too much of the
youthful athletes who play it. The
strain is such they are bound to go
stale unless they have a chance

Change in the position of the goal

ty men who muff puntS have had the
most striking effect in the game.
Points after touchdown have to
some extent gone out of style since
the goal posts we're placed at the
end of the safety zone instead of
on the goal line, the extra 10 yards
being more than many of the kick
aerS can negotiate under pressure.
Goals from the field, dominant
factor in 1926, also have been re-
duced to a minimum, most quarter
backs preferring, to gamble with a
pass on fourth, down, when within
S ing distance, rather than shoot
for the distant uprlgnts. With the
ball on the is yard line in the old
days, the kicker could go eight or
ten yards back and have % or
25 yard kick before him. Now ne
I has a carry of an additional 10
i yards after the boot crosses the
line and that extra distance has
been a stumbling block to scores OF
educated toes.
Protection for the butter-f fingered
boys who muff their punts has speed
ed up the game. The sight of a
! homeless ball bounding here and
4 there about the field with every

it has practically disappeared.

has been remarkable.
The lateral pass may face a fight
at the next meeting of the rules
committee on the ground that it is
not worth the trouble, but the other
innovations seem destined to remain
welcome part of the code
If there is to be any agitation for
additional changes it may include a

Not Like Old Days

Not Like Old Days
In the old days when there was no
huge overhead because Of the big
stadiurns, two or three big games
would draw more than enough people
to make the season a success finan-
cially.
The modern stadium has changed
this condition entirely There must be
from four to six big home games
with couple on the road. Incidental
ly, the coach must turn out good
enough team TO attract a patronage
that will pack the stands. s,g..o,.,
The case of Michigan is merely one
Of perhaps 20 that could be named.
Consider Yale. In the second game
of the season the Blue took on the
strong Georgia team The Southern
ers pointed for Yale started work
early in September, while Yale used
Georgia as a conditioner The result
Yale suffered an early reverse, 1910
One can find a similar happening in
the records of a majority Of the
leading teams because there is spot
in most of them where the team is
stale and suffers.
However, since winning isn't
everything from the collegiate
angle, and since the huge stadiums
must be filled to take care Of the
overhead and look after the ex-
pense of other sports, hard sche-
dulles will continue and upsets will
occur.

WITH BRILLIANT CAST
BY Jessie

pany, with its complete personnel
numbering more than 200, viii pre-
sent Verdi's 1.-THE Masked Ball. and
the Tolstoy-Alfano Resurrection"
at Polls Theater on Wednesday
evening and Thursday matinee of
next week.
The presentation Of 'The Masked
Ball" on wednesday night will pro-
vide an unusual musical treat for
Washington. Despite the beauties OF
this opera by the great Italian COM
poser, 1t is very seldom given be-
cause of the extreme difficulty of
the music, which requires vocal
skill Of an unusually high order.
Charles Marshall, the sensational
American opera tenor, received a
tremendous ovation for his singing
Of the role OF Ricardo when the
opera was revived by the Chicago
company q year ago, and the great
dramatic soprano, Rosa Raisa,
counts the role Of Amelia among
her best parts.
It Is a lesson in vocal art to hear
Richard Bonelli sing the ERR Tu"
aria in this opera, for the voice Of
this American baritone is credited
by critics with challenging COMPARE
son with the best that Europe can
offer.
In the same cast viii be Cyrena
