Tommy Loves to Bicker.

"RRoADRIBB as terrible crust"
said Thomas. "e is trying to
cruelty me with the British H'empire,
after my brilliant winning fight"
Mr.. Far now has disposed of
Mr.. Broadribb. Free of the Iatter,s
villainous wiles, he will pursue his
perpendicular course toward the
championship of the world-and if
his new manager doesn't argue with
him. I think Thomas will be very un-
happy, because I never saw a cove
who gets more honest enjoyment out
Of bicker than Thomas does.
AS for his fight with Braddock on
January 81 he ought to win it. There
are many worse fighters in the world
than Farr.

MEDW|CK LIKELY
PEERLESS HITTER
Paul Waner of BUGS Says
Card Star Will Better.
Hornsby's Record.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tine Associated Press.
! - ARASOTA, Fla, Dec. 24.-Paul
Waner, a past master himself
at the art of getting. base hits,
- expressed belief today that Joe
Medwick will become the greatest
right-hand batter in baseball's history.
The Pirate outfielder, who lost the
National League batting crown to
Medwick of the ST. Louis Cardinals
last season. said even the loops new
dead ball" won't stop Ducky.
Il saw Rogers Hornsby play several
seasons and always figured he was the
greatest batter that ever lived" COM
mented Waner. who stands at the left
side Of the plate.
Di Maggie Better Fielder.
THAT is, until Medwick came along
Right now, I believe he is
Hornsby's equal and with many years
to 60 should surpass the Rajah"
How about Joe Di Maggio?" waner
was asked.
I've seen the Yankee sensation
only in all-star and exhibition games
and really don't know so much about
him, but think Medwick is a far bet
ter hitter" he replied.
In fielding, Waner conceded an edge
to Di Maggie over the Cardinals
slugger.
Waner, whose batting average for
IL seasons in the majors is 349, said
he believed the new bail would pull
down hitting percentages in general,
but wouldn't eliminate fluke hits.
Fluke Hits Part Of Game.
"FLUKE hits" he added, ARE just
as much a part Of the game as
home runs. No matter what they do
to the ball they won't eliminate
| them
Waner's "cure" for less lively ball
is lighter bat. He has ordered four
dozen 33 and "a ounce sticks for use
next year. Last season he swung a
37-ounce bludgeon.

Difference With Manager.

DlHerenCe WIN Manager,
MR.. FARR and Mr.. Broadribb did
Avn did not get along very well to-
eether in America. Between rounds
of the Louis fight. according to Mr..
Farr, their conversation was likely to
move along the following lines:
Broadribb: 1t looks like he's got
you.
Farr: 90. i'm?
Broadribb: Yes, i'm.
Farr: Ouch!
Broadribb: 'Es killing you.
Farr: Ouch
Broadribb: Wot do you mean,
ouch?
Farr: It's you that's killing me,
pouring iodine in my h'eye. Why
don't you slug me behind the ear with
a cold-cock and ave done with it?
Broadribb: 90, me?
Farr: Yes. you
Broadribb: Ere.
Farr: You card me.
Broadribb: Well I won't ear YOU
much longer, chum, because ell knock
you stiff next round.
Broadribb Denies Charges.
THIS was the sort of pep talk that
Mr., Broadribb gave his fighter
according to his fighter. There have
also been veiled hints that Mr.. Broad
RIB carelessly filled the water bucket
with red-eye and bathed his protege's
temples in strong solution of ether
Mr.. Broadribb stanchly denies all
charges. He has story of his own
to tell, just as gruesome as Mr.. Fairs,
and the gist of it seems to be that
Thomas treated his manager like a
combination Of water boy and pistol
target.
After the fight, when approached
by your correspondent, Mr.. Broad
RIB said candidly that he thought his
fighter was licked
"'e was lucky to come out of it
standing up," said MIR. Broadribb.
The funny thing is that Mr.. Farr
felt the same way about it until the
next day, when he heard that many
people thought he had won. Choking
down his surprise at this point of
view, Thomas promptly turned mar
tyr and agreed with them.

THOMAS TACTICS
ASTOUND EMPIRE
Heavy Is Not Annoyed as
He Returns to U. S. to
Fight Braddock.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

u YEW YORK, Dec. 24.-ThomaS
Farr returns to our shores
VI to fight next month with James
4 j. Braddock and then to raze
Joe Louis to the level of the ground,
If not shade lower Thomas boat
docked yesterday and jaded thrill
seekers turned out to cape at the only
vertical British heavyweight fighter in
captivity.
The verGcality of Mr.. Farr-his
powerful grip on the perpendicular
has made him sort of national hero
in Britain, though many a member
of the country squire and rock-bound
Tory set considers his behavior to be
in the worst possible taste.
"Shockin'," says Philip Scott, the
swooning swan of Soho
"'Disgustin'," says Joseph Beckett,
the collapsible gypsy
Bad FORM" says Jock McAvoy, the
postrate Yorkshireman.
Not done" says Jack Doyle, the
horizontal mocking bird.
Seen Flouting Tradition.
THESE crCsted old land owners, the
spawn of Eton and Cambridge. be-
lieve, as their fathers believed before
them, that the true position of the
British heavyweight is latitudinal, or
fat. They hold sternly by tradition.
The fighter who remains erect, reckon
ing longitudinally by Greenwich, is
cad in their eyes, bounder, a churl
and perishing outsider
But modern Britain is in the grip
of change and radicals like Farr, pre-
sumably in the pay of the Kremlin. can
win great popularity by standing up
for Is rounds against Joe Louis This
is demagoguery in its ugliest aspect,
as Philip Scott, the swooning swan of
Soho, will tell you.
Farr made himself still more popu-
lar with the English people, when he
returned from his fight with Louis, by
producing great gobs Of sensational
courtroom testimony concerning his
relations with his manager. Mr.. Theo-

DEFENSE LOAN
PLANNEDB
FRANCE

PARIS, March 5 QN.SO.-A
series of measures, technically re-
turning France to an internal"
gold standard, pledging balanced
budget and providing a huge new
defense loan were approval by the
cabinet Of Premier Leon Blum to-
day.
Foreshadowing eventual stabil-
iZation of the franc, at a figure
generally estimated at 4.40 cents,
as against the current 4.65, the
ministerial council put a check on
the social expenditures" of the
Blum government, as a step to-
ward return to sound money"
The government announced the
tripartite monetary agreement be-
tween France, Great Britain and
the United States will continue to
form the basis of Frances finan-
cial policy.
Follows British Example
The defense measure, whose
total is. unannounced, was a direct
consequence of the $4,000, 600, 900
home defense loan planned by
Great Britain to aid in financing
the. new British $500, 100000 re-
armament program, which has
given impetus to wholesale accu-
mutation of arms and ammunition
throughout the length and breadth
Of Europe.
The technical gold basis re-
quireS some explanation. Export
of gold will continue to be pro-
hib1ted, but free importation and
internal negotiation Of gold will
be resumed, thus putting France
on an internal gold basis. The
laws Of supply and demand apply
ing to gold also will be allowed TO
function.
If nothing else the measure will
serve to restore the average
FrenchmaRS faith in his own cur
rency.
Demands Economy
The communique said in part:
"Stern instructions have been
given all service branches Of the
government to prohibit addi-
tiOnaI credits. The government
fOrbids the introduction in par
lament Of any new demands for
credits, except for a possible In
crease in the lower salary
brackets"
The cabinet appointed COM
mites 70 handle the Stabilization
fund, defend the franc against
ext ernal onSlaughts, ensure
security of commerce and price
stability as well as supervise the
government bond market.
Premier Blum will broadcast to-
morrow evening to explain the
governments financial decisions
while President Lebrun will appeal
on Monday for generous subscrip.
tions to the defense loan.
