BRAWLEY, August 19.-Mexicali
softballers Thursday night scored
their third victory in row over
Brawley to win the Imperial Valley
league championship.
With Shifty Jordan pitching run
less ball, the Mexicali hitters eked
out the necessary victory to clinch
the championship in the tenth in
ming.
O'Hare, who was touched for only
three safe hits over the entire dis
tance, retired the first Mexicali
batter in the fatal tenth but his
control wavered momentarily on the
next batter and he issued a walk.
A sacrifice advanced the runner D
second base and Robinson. Mexicali
catcher, lobbed a Texas Lacquer
over the infield to knock in the
winning run.
Jordan was untouchable in the
last half OF the tenth and wound
up an outstanding season by shut
ting out the Brawley batters with
out hit.
The triumph gave Jordan and
the Mexicali team record of 20
wins and only three losses in Valley

LONG BRANCH, NJ, Aug. 20
UP)-I have what the French grace
fully term a feeling de snaeky'
for those of us who watched Tommy
Farr's workout here yesterday saw
preview of the earnest Welshman's
worlds heavyweight fight with Joe
Louis next Thursday night.
The crowd was smallish, the
workout lasted fewer than three
rounds, and 1t ended when Tommy's
rugged countenance ran full tilt
into a sizzling left hook. AS you no
doubt read in morning dispatch
the left hook was thrown by one
Joey Wagner, A TT FOUNDER who
works out of Newark, and that it
cut a rather nasty cash on the rid
ge of Farr's right cheekbone.
When the punch landed blood
spurted, Farr stopped dead in his
tracks, his cOckney handlers yel-
led "Blimey!", and after one of
those hasty, if inaccurate ring
side examinations, all work was
ordered suspended fer two days.
Pm 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 on of those miracles his
sunburned angels claim he has
power to do.
Because l have passing acquain-
tance with one of Farr's sparring
partners, Ale Feldman, and was
standing on the ring apron talk
ing 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 IT
you're a hptting man-it landed
Just when Farr was busily engaged
in fighting the sort of fight he says
he will use against Louis. The We'll
shman was in a crouch, bobbing and
weaving, and moving forward,
shooting body punches all tie 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 it.
The punch didn't drop Farr, for
after all Wagner is scarcely light
heavyweight. But it halted Tommy
with all the thoroIghness of red
light. 55f
Now Pm not much of hand
at drawing conclusions, infinitely
preferring to draw pastoral scenes
alive with frisky cows. But II one
did draw cqnclusion from yes
terday's wOrkou, ii would be that

evening next week. Because the

Wagner's leaves off. 1 have yet
to meet a boxing critic. young
Or old, who has been able tc, name
man, dead or alive, who threw
a harder punch than Louis left.
It's dea.h and dynamite, with
trimmings.
Furthermore, F&rr would appear
to be "bleeder", meaning a gent
whose skin is none too tough. If
that's so our Tommy is likely to
resemble a large strawberry short
cake when Joe finishes with him.
One thing l with have to say for
Farr, however. He certainly is train
ing in belligerent atmosphere. 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. Yester-
day. just before I arrived, one of
the camp followers took a three
round decision over a British news
peperman in a fight on the hall
stairs. And there are half dozen
other feuds bristling.

Mike Jacobs send Louis over with
instructions to lick everybody in
