TIGER DID HIS PRAYING
AFTER FIGHT WAS OVER

NEW YORK, November II CP).
Tiger Flowers, the praying Dea.
con-" who died here last night
after an operation, was fearful of
the effects of pre-battle prayers
upon his ring career.
He never prayed before a fight
or never read the little black Bible
which he carried with him every.
where.
He explained this by saying: II
couldn't pray to the Lord for vic
tory before a fight because l might
meet a better man. a stronger man,
and lose. Then l might think that
the Lord hadn't answered my pray
crs and / might be tempted to
doubt Him. So l always wait. and

for the strength that brought me
safely through, and then l read

would have had hard time getting
to the bottom of things.
There are also instances in the
minor leagues in which the stock
holders of one club have been COM
PEELED to back another club to
certain extent to keep the league In
existence. No league is ever SO sound
that all its clubs are independent
financially and able to carry on with
equal vigor. In the major league
there are clubs that have been losers
since the war and some of them have
had to make sacrifices to get along.
If a major league were so hard hit
that one or two of it's clubs had to
have funds. it is pretty certain that
the league would see that they got
funds, whether the advisory council
knew about it or not. At one time
in the history of the National League
it was in such straits that 1t could
not meet certain payments and the
money was advanced in the emer-

traditions of the National League.

There is a theory that the left

doing the hitting his irons work
perfectly. But Macfarlane knows
the right must do the stuff that
makes a ball behave and travel, for
Willie plays rounds with either his
right or left hand exclusively. Not
only that, but with his right ha nd
he shoots in the 70s. whereas with
his left he makes the course in 100.

DISCOVERY OF PLATINUM IS
 REPORTED NOW
Good News Bay District Is Scene of Strike-News
 Received Here

Reports of a rich platinum dis covery in the Good News Bay dis trict were brought to Takotna recently, according to Emil An derson, dredgemaster for the Plume Dredge Company, who passed through Juneau south bound on the Alaska. in company with B. R. Heffelfinger. engineer machinist of the same company. The two made the trip from Ta- kotna to Fairbanks by. airplane out to the coast to Seward by rail and are now aboard the Al aska for the States.
 The first news of the strike was brought to Takotna by Ar chic Higgins. well known old timer of that section of Alaska. who made the voyage north to the Kuskokwim on the Langley line of boats, said Anderson. They. stopped in at Good News Bay and 1t was learned there that Dave Sinclair, an oldtimer of the Takotna section. had un- covered a body of placer platinum which was averaging $l00 a day to the shovel Sinclair had been in that section previously and left it to return to the Kus- kokwim, where he is reported to have attempted to commit suicide about year ago. by cutting his throat. Recovering from that, he is said to have returned to the Good News Bay diggings to re- sume his prospecting there, and ran on to the pay. Mir. Ander- son did not learn the details of the strike or the extent of the pay. Platinum in small qnanti- ties had been found previously in that region.
