World's Middleweight Crown
. (ls Won Before 18,000
in Madison Square
I ' NEW YORK. Feb. 28. -- By As
sociated Press). Tiger. Flowers,
Atlanta negro, won the world's
middleweight championship when
he outpointed Harry Greb of Pitts
burgh in a fast 1 5-round.bout at
Madison Square Garden tonight.
Ai capacity crowd of 1 8 .0 0 0 saw
the crowning of the . new j cham
pion. , ! r
j The negro's ' southpaw style ap
peared' to bother Greb and hH
usual windmill style , was lacking
except in spots... Many, times the
challenger beat Greb to the punch
as Greb wound up to land with his
flying lists which have battered
down all opposition to his class
since he won the title from Johnny
Wilson of Boston ; at -: the Polo
grounds in 1923. ; In 'only one or
two rounds did Greb appear like
the Pittsburgh "windmill'' of old.
The crowd sat back and watted for
Greb to start but the southerner's
peculiar style was baffling to the
champion and he never could get
started. ,, :,; '. t: .
Greb was king of the 'middle
weights for three years'. .Flowers
is the first negro to hold - the
championship of the, middleweight
division. ': ' i -
- Creb, tc Fswspapermen at the
ringside, was not himself,: appear

start, but the negro was in excel-

ha presented a style difficult for
any boxer to, fathom, i. Boxing crit
ics argued that f thef i margin ob
tained by the negro was too small
for a title to change handa al
though it was generally admitted
that he had won under the mlea
of the New tork jsUte athletic
commission which provide that all
bouts must be decided by rounds
gained- At the end both appeared
to have been little damaged In the
fray although :ieacn had gashes
over his left eye from Jabs, in the
early rounds. ' ; j -;-".;v

bout was 16,311 1 and the gross

and scored six points before Idaho
caged a goal. ' (

v Biddy Bishop, who has definite
ly, accepted management of the
Senators for the , coming season
received word .last week that rep-;
resentatives of the teams would be
here Friday night. " No further:
word j -was sent and It was sup
posed that the conference would
convene, but the Portland men did
not show up and, a call to Albany
late last night revealed that the
Albany . manager 'had- - not been
notified, so the meeting will be
postponed until next week.
At the last session' of the man
agers, on ; February 9, i nearly 2 0
representatives , were present . ap
plying for entry: of their teams but
Bishop says that he - feels Port
land cannot set - together more
than four good teaAWi These, with
Salem and Albany "would make a
. league ofT cdnvenlent - size,' and
with each team playing one game
at home and one game away will
provide a season over two months
and : a ' half long. This is just
about the right length as it leaves
the Fourth of July and other holi
days open for special games.
' The teams so far signed up and
probably the final personnel of the
league are Cycol, Knights of Col-'
umbus, Fulton, and St. Johns from
Portland. Albany; and Salem from .
the ; Willamette valley. All the
teams have excellent material and
Bishop promises some fast base
