New York, July 22-(Up)--With the same pride in his voice that an art connoisseur would have in in- viting you to stop by and see an original Degas, Promoter Mike Jacobs asked us yesterday to drop in at dinner time and watch Tommy Farr eat.
 We accepted and never will regret 1t, because with the possible eX- ception of the Grand Canyon by sunrise we never have seen e more impressive sight than the British heavyweight champion at feeding time. Tommy may not do so well against Joe Louis in August, but he is c fierce and wonderful work CT when pitted against banquet table loaded with viands.
 From the ring of the opening bell. when he moved boldly out against c double shrimp cocktail until the final one that sent him tearing into an entire Edam cheese he was a magnificent trencherman sure in his approach and deadly in his execution, His performance was made doubly lustrous by the fact that he was obviously over-trained having just stepped of Q boat after an Atlantic crossing. One is apt to become weary of eating on c Atlantic liner. The food iS free, and when one becomes toe burdened down to 90 and get It. solicitous stewards chase one te ones lair with great trays of deli- catessen.
 But Farr offered no alibis. Ht came into the arena wearing c gray suit with chalk stripe, and armed with c knife and fork. Acting in th( role of announcer Promoter Jacobs called:

 He moved sharply on the shrimp, showing @ beautifully timed left jab with the fork. The shrimp, throwing up Q Russian dressing de- fense, tried to escape, but Tommy speared them unmercifully. The minestrone never had chance, Working in close, Farr drove 1t into e neutral corner of the bowl and punished 1t mercifully, finally fin- ishing 1t with Q magnificent right uppercut with his spoon.
 Farr was impatient between rounds" and scowled ct the wait- CTS when they were slow in provid- ing him with opponents. It was against the London broil and the steak that he showed the true in- stinct of the killer. Abandoning his jabbing with the fork, the Welch- man started driving home hay makers with his knife. He was par ticularly impressive against the mutton chops. Working out of Q low crouch, and with his elbows wide Tommy maneuvered the mutton Into position with feints with his fork and then finished 1t with beautiful crosses with his kife.
 Tommy looked bad in only one round. That was the one against the shepherds pie. He seemed to tire against this formidable fellow and 1t seemed as if his corner might have to throw in the napkin. But he rallied smartly and. hooking beautifully with abiscuit, broke the pies spirit by eating two potatoes and an onion with one bite.
 Farr finished without c mark on him.

Hartford, July 22.-Buck Lais Hawaiians nipped @ stirring ninth inning rally to turn back the Savitt Gems, 9 to 8, last night at Bulkeley stadium.
 Hank Karlon, Gems catcher, who tied up the game in the last of the eighth, wiht e home run with one aboard, had another great chance to pull the game out of the fire In the ninth as the visitors had tailed twice in their half of that inning. With the bases loaded, two out, and needing two runs to tie the count, Karlon waited for a three and two count, then hit a slow roller down the thtid base line, Johnny Campion raced home to score, and Webe, Hawaiian third sacker, let the ball roll through his legs.
 Murphy, who had been on first, oVerran second and started 10 third, while Myska streaked for the plate, but before the latter could score Webe picked up the ball and threw out Murphy, who was trying desperately to get to second. The game was over and the Gems were still one run short.
 The Islanders pounded the offer- ings of Al Murray for l3 hits while Kahuke allowed 10 Savitt blows Murray struck out l3 batters.
 Enc, Hawaiian shortstop, led the hitterS with four singles in five Cf- ficial trips to the plate. Johnny Campion and Myska were the only Gems to get more than one hit each collecting two.

Browns Offered Hornsby $5,OOO
 To Forget Contract
BY GEORGE D. CRIssEY

(Unletd Press Staff Correspondent)
 St. Louis, July 22.-(UP)--1t was hoped in this baseball minded city today that the smile of Sunny Jim" Bottomley replacing the scow' of Rogers Hornsby, would provide the spark needed to lift the St Louis Browns out of the second di- vision of the American league.
 In one of the sudden shifts oi baseball fortune, Hornsby was dis missed as manager of the Browns yesterday, abruptly and somewhat mysteriously. His friend, Bottomley was elevated from coach to manager to replace him.
 True to his friend. for whom he played first base with the St, Loul' Cardinals when Hornsby led that club to world series victory IF 1926, Sunny Jim" announced that he would continue Hornsby policies
 Tn 1925 Hornsby batted .424. That year he was voted the Nationa, leagues most valuable player, Fol seven years Hornsby was the cham pion batter of the National league
 After leaving the Cardinals at the end of 1926, he made the rouno' of New York Giants, Boston Braves and Chicago Cubs, attaining a rec ord of having been with five clubi and having lost four managerial positions within Il years,
 The big smile of Sunny Jim" wor the veteran first baseman his nicE' name when he first came from No komis, H.. to win fame on tlit diamond. He is the opposite O. Hornsby who Is Q hard driver, fret with criticism and sparing witl praise.
 Bottomley termed Hornsby one O the greatest baseball players tha ever lived and in turn "the rajah' wished his pal "all the success 1T tho world" But while HornSbI sincerely wished Sunny Jim" wei he didn't feel 50 kindly toward thu club management. Last night h' said the club had offered him $b,' co 0to forget his contract for l93' and 1888, calling for $l9,o0o pc year.
 Tt runs until the end of the lo3' season 50 I'll walt until l see wha the club intends to do about fillint it." Hornsby commented.
 "The contract in its wording per mitted instant termination" BaSit Donald L. Barnes, president of th' Browns. But he refused to deny O confirm Hornsbys statement that settlement offer of $500 had beer made. Barnes told Hornsby h was being released lin the ir1teres of the Browns
 Hornsby, 8 baseball veteran of 9 years, said he supposed he coult appeal to Judge Kenesaw M. Landi for a decision but refused to com init himself. He also refused t answer questions regarding the pos sibility Of c civil suit.
 Random in St. Louis failed t' patronize the Hornsbymen afte his shift to managership of the 10 cal American league club. It one cheered him and by public subscrip ton bought him an expensive auto mobile. That was in 1928 after tn Cardinals overwhelmed the Ney York Yankees in the World serie of that hyear.
 But sunny Jim" never entirel! lost his local following, His serie of batting feats last year, inimedi ately after announcing his retire ment, were acclaimed by fans wh' for several years now have wante' to root for a team in opposition t' the National league Cardinals.
