3M MEASURE. ' i j / , NEW YORK Feb. 21.—-— Harry Greb bu reached the end of'the long boxing wall. The marvel man of modern boxing lost the middle- wolghtohampionship of the world here last night to a colored gladia~ tor. Theodore Tiger Flowers. known to the fight gable as the "Georgia . Deacon." Gret. uuo went to tbe’on- ly negro ever to hold'the middle- ,weight cnamplonship by a decision J after fifteen rounds of fighting in t“ the new Madison. Square Garden ‘. while the majority of some 17.000 spectators looked on in amazement. There was much butting. thumb- ing. holding and hitting. rabbit punching. shoving and some con- irsation. There wns no real class to \ 0 fight at any stage. The reason R was taken seriously was be so much was at stake. If they ad ‘3 been boxing a no-decislon bout they .mlght have been booted out of the place. Once it dawned on the crowd Greb had slipped back so far and that he was in grave danger it set- tled back to get that decision. which came in a dramatic way. Joe Humphries. the announcer. took up the sllps from the referee and judges and stepped to the center of the riné , \ Before saying a word he held out .‘ his hand in the he usually does \fi’when announcing a‘ draw ‘verdin. ‘Everyrody thought it was a draw including Flowers. who jumped from his seat in glee and started over to shake Greb‘s hands.

The Tiger stabbed a few rights to 'the bedy and curved some long lofts to Harry‘s head which bobbed some under the fire. Grebxpersevered with some stout hodypunchingtln the tenth. The Tiger was hitting back but his punches were very light and Greb stood around and waited in the ele venthiwhen he should have been starting to save his title, and al- lowed‘the deacon to take the play- ‘awny from him.

UGIMESB The retort courteous is usually an excellent weapon to settle a. dispute on the ball field. but occasionally it reacts. , Some years ago the New York Yankees had a pitcher on the pay- roll by the name of Cy Pieh. which sounds like something new in the dessert line. The first game that he worked for .the New York club. the opposing batters discovered his delivery and name were closely related. He was given a. good ttrimming. 1 was the umpire. As a rule recruit pitchers don't argue with t‘ie umpires. Most of tht-m feel they must become estab~ llshcd before taking issue with the arbitrator as to his judment on balls and strikes. 7 0 O 0 Cy Pleh. however, was a decided exception to the ntleas most Amer- ican [league umpires who tried to satisfy him on balls and strikes. soon learned.

I couldn't refrain from remarking: "Well I won't be bothered with you after th. Fourth of July."

There is a possibility that the Compo Life Guards and the )th Men may get together in a Elil‘ltki before the season is over. Both town are willing to play. but the financial end of the series is holding up the matter. The two teams have not played in three years. The Guards refused to hays anything to do with the terms offered during the last two seasons. ' Manager Donald it. Taylor of the Guards is willing to play the lied Men. He says he wants a fair guarantee or a percentage basis, but not be plan as suggested by the lied Men. If the teams play on a percentage basis it is claimed that the lied Men. Life Guard: and the National Guard outfit at the armory will split the purse three ways. The Guards have emphatically rc- lused to play under any such or- rangcment. The Westport team have said they are not going to support, the National Guard. The Guards deo mended a 376 guarantee for a game In the armory. it seems that the series hinges on the ability of the two managements to make satisfac- tory financial arrangements. In the early part of the season there was considerable talk about the series. but lately the interest of the fans has faded for the teams SQUADANSWERS TRACK CALI. AT WESLEYAN AMIDDLE’I‘OWN. Feb.
