...little Irishman (Mickey Walker, onetime welterweight champion) knocked a nice black man (Tiger Flowers) down on his haunches with a smack on the jaw. Up jumped Flowers and began to lace the countenance and torso of Walker with a long left hand in the manner of a man painting a fence. Blood squirted from a gash over Walker's eye. In the ninth round he knocked Flowers down again but the black man, with a grin of ebony, bounced from the canvas and hacked at Walker's snout. The gong ended the tenth. The crowd in the Chicago...
