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. He doos'nt drink, smoke 0ir
dissapate in any way and' being
^ attached to his family, thefo_ia
-ho-roem-lef^^or ^ palted admir^
ers to edge m.
_____ Thig Southpyn tornado- -i?t a
very unique-Jeharacfer, -being a
deacon or steward in the Metho
dist church.-Many fighters have
gone in for church work after
leaving the ring but none have
mixed tne cnurch and the ring
~ together successfully before.
t ^ Old Jack Johnson attemptedto
come back via of the pulpit
last winter but failed miserably
The Georgian is a human b'uzzsaw
hp. r-nctxg in nppnnnnf
and fairly smothers, his man
with punches. Gloves come from
all directions and angles.
. Outside of Jack Dclane^r^whO'
floored the deacon twice in Madjison
Square Garden Flowers has
not lost a fight in two years.
