' 1 -T ' j r FLOWERS IS THE BERRIE&l . By Mack h * ?(Eor?The- Associated- Negro Press.) One of the most colorful fighters of modern; tiiftes is Theodora Flowers, of Atlanta, Ga:, and tie' ? ts one of ttre best office attrac?i tions in the ring outside of Jar.k ?Dempsey and?possibly Harry Wills.;; Flowers' earnings so far this _ year has equalled the President's salary for a twelve months. This Georgia deacon is wisely investing his shekles in Brunswick, Georgia, real estate. . ' ' Flowers'nomUarity-is-of-a-different type from that of Joe sGans, George Dixon, Sam Lang - ? ford or any of the great boxers of bygone days. Although those ring artists were great fighters their success and popularity was - due - largely to the fact ""that they were what is commonly known as "good mixers" and they were always surrounded by a group of admirers or leaches who were ready to take advao ?lage of Ihetohgenerogfty. ? to the fact that he gives the the fight fans a thrill from the. minute ITe gets in artinr fcattt ?~ QQmcone is: assisted from the ring.
