bid by A is almost obligatory. The fact
that A has no spades makes a take-out
by Y or bid by B OF two spades almost
a certainty so A should show his suit
(hearts) at once. Y bid two spades, B
passed and Z bid Two no trump. This
bid by Z almost makes it certainty
that Y Z have a game hand in no
trump, so there is the necessity for A
to keep on bidding to try to save game.
A bid three hearts, Y bid three spades
and B passed. L now bid three no
trump and thus announced that his
chances for game were very bright. A
still felt that the best defense was to
keep on bidding hearts so bid four
hearts. Y and B passed and Z doubled.
The bid was defeated only one trick;
while at no trump Y Z would have
scored three odd, game and rubber. 1t
was a fine example of justihable
overbid to save the certain loss OF a
game and rubber.

party on the other side hung up:
1 realized then that the great
fighter had died on the operating
table. Tiger Flowers, The Fighting
Deacon, the pride of the pugilistic
world, had fought his last fight,
and lost-death had claimed him in
the first round of his fight.
The death of Tiger Flowers took
away from the ring one of the
most beloved pugilists the ring has
ever produced.
This cartoon drawn by Mr.:
Hirsch, will give you an idea OF
how the great fighter looked when
in action. Tiger Flowers is the
only colored fighter to have worn
the middleweight crown. He ranks
with Jack Johnson, Joe Cans, Joe
Wilcott, making up the Big Four,
the only colored men to hold the
championship crown.
Flowers was considered as the
most conservative of all of these
great fighters. He made money
and he saved it, and when he died
his family did not suffer for the
necessities of life. He lived a clean,
religious life: Flowers was after all
the greatest fighter that has ever
lived-morally, socially and religi-
ously. The death of Flowers took,
from the fight fans clean, cleverl
and scientific fighter. He will for-l
ever remain in the minds OF the
pugilistic world.

OVFRSHADOWING
The PAST
(By j. Elmer Booker.)
Tiger Flowers, "The Fighting
Deacon" the Pride of the
Ring

Well, folks. just like l told you,
I am back to tell you another story
about great prize fighter, and l
hope you will enjoy reading this
one. This week / am going to give
you a short story of "The Fighting
Deacon" the pride of the pugilistic
world. His real name is Tiger
Flowers, but on account of his
ring association he has been given
several names. u know his as "The
Fighting Deacon" from Georgia, and
therefore in speaking of him | al
ways use this name.
Of all the prize fighters whom l
have seen fight, and l have seen
numbers of them, / think The
Fighting Deacon is the most be-
loved of them all. He was not Of
that rough element from which
most of the pugilists come. There
is no record of any decision. no
matter how rotten it happened to
be, that he disputed referee about.
In event he was given a bad de.
cision he only considered it bad
management on his part, and poor
judgment on the part Of the ref
cree. 1t was this faculty more
than any other that won for him
the respect of all the fans, and
then, too, he is never known to
take a flop. He believed in fighting
either to the end and never give
up until the last gong was sounded.
Slowly but surely ambition led
him to the goal that is seldom reach
ed by the one Jump route. There
was another distinct characteristic
he possessed and that was he put
Go dbefore everything he under
took, and never once believed that
he would meet with defeat, regard
less of the reputation, size or the
weight of his antagonist.

No score, first game. z dealt and bid
one no trump. What should A do!
Should he double or pass? If he should
double and his partner should bid two
hearts, what should he do?
Never double one no trump unless
you are prepared for any bid that
partner may make. With this hand, A
is prepared for any one of three bids,
but is not prepared for two-heart bid.
If B should bid two hearts, AS hand IS
not strong enough to bid two no trumps.
For that reason, A should pass the no
trump bid. If his partner should now
bid, AS hand looks very strong; but
until B shows some signs OF strength,
AS proper procedure is to pass and
thus take the defensive.
If all pass, the question OF AS proper
opening against no trump IS an
interesting one. He has two choices,
either the ten of diamonds or the five
of spades. The latter opening. however,
seems the better one and should be
made.

aren't strong enough to show under
such conditions. At clubs, A b can
score FIVE odd and thus make game and
rubber. 1t is a pretty hand and the
bidding and the reasons tor 1t should
be carefully studied.

problems confronting the player whose
right-hand opponent has bid one no
