Long Branch, N. J., August 20. - I have what the French gracefully term Q feeling de sneaky," for those of us who watched Tommy FaHr's workout here yesterday saw Q preview of the earnest Welsham,s worlds heavyweight fight with Joe Louis next Thursday night. The crowd was smalEish, the work out lasted fer than three rounds, and 1t ended when Tommys rugged countenance ran full tilt into a siz- zling left hook. AS you no doubt read in a morning dispatch the left hook was thrown by one Joey Wag- ner, Q l77 pounder who works out of Neward, and that 1t cut e rather nasty gash on the ridge of Farr's right cheekbone.
 When the punch landed blood spurted, Farr stopped dead in his tracks, his cockney handlers yelled "hlimeyl", and after one of those nasty, if inaccurate ringside exami- nations, all work was ordered suspended for two days. I'm no doctor, but that cut never will be healed in two days unless Father Divine can be lured away from his pork chops and induced to pass one of those miracles his sunburned angels claim he has power to do.
 Because I have passing acc quaintance with one of Farrs spar. ring partners, Abe Feldman, and was standing on the ring apron talking with him while Farr worked with Wagner, I was in perfect spot to see the damaging left hook. It was the same type of hook that Louis throws better than any figh. ter in the world - short, explosive, and perfectly timed.
 And this is very significant if you're . betting man - 1t landed just when Farr was busily engaged in fighting the sort of fight he says he will use against Louis. The Welshman was in a crouch, bobbing and weaving, and moving forward, shooting body punches all the while. Then he came out of the crouch and as he strengthened up Wagner. with less regard for his employer than Is usually shown by sparring partners, let him have 1t.
 The punch didn't drop Farr, for after all Wagner is scarcely light heavyweight. But 1t halted Tommy with all the thoroughness of Q red light.

 Now I'm not much of e hand at drawing conclusions, infinitely pre-. ferring to draw pastoral scenes alive with frisky COWS. But If one did draw conclusions from yesterdays workout, 1t would be that Farr Is in for c very strenuous evening next week. Because the Louis left hook begins where Wagner's leaves off. I have yet to meet c boxing critic, young or old, who has been able to name 0 man, dead or alive. who threw e harder punch than Louis left. It's death and dynamite, with trimmings.
 Furthermore, Farr would appear to be Q "bleeder," meaning a gent whose skin is none too tough. If that's so, our Tommy Is likely to resemble c large strawberry short- cake when Joe finishes with him. He'll get cut up like little Willie's steak.
 One thing will have to say for Farr, however. He certainly IS training in a belligerent atmos- phere. He and his manager, Ted sparerib or something -like.that, don't speak and are on the verge of punching one another all the time. Yesterday, just before I ar-
