first round, and he used this cut
as a target during the remaining
session-pounding it until it was
swollen and splattering blood.
Baer'S performance was most
disappointing becaL:e of his re-
puted knockout wallop and be-
cause he out-weighed Farr 2l1la

From the sixth round on 1t was

Farr. who is known throughout
British boxing circles as a power

HOW 1T HAPPENED
The Welshrnan, who won the
empire title from Ben Foord on
March Is, carried the fight 10

going.
He took the first round by vir-
ture of his left jabs and the cash

took the third. He was more ac-
curate with his hooks to the head.
Farr. however. kept jabbing away
and knocked the patch from be-

 The Maine team arrived today anu held 0 warn-up practice ses- sion in the bowl.
 Coach Pond yesterday put en- phasis on the bunting department of his squad and had Dave Colwell, Johnny Miller and Charlie Ewart booting most of the afternoon. Cole well probably will do most of the kicking tomorrow.

 Pond felt this was his strongest combination at the moment, ale though Al Hessberg was c possible starter in the backfeld.

New York, October 1. -- (UP) -- Dempsey called and said will you come over to my place for e bite or two of lunch and I said yes, If your place Is still there. He didn't un- derstand this, SO I said I thought maybe the Legionnaires had torn It down and taken all the steaks and walters home for souvenirs.
 He said they had been in there 70 deep, day and night, but didn't do any damage that couldn't be covered by Q five spot. He laughed and said that probably was the highest coEn- pliment ever paid his left hook.
 Jack was right about the lunch being c bite or two, because spread out on Q table was c bite or two of every dish ever cooked in this coun- try. The food was in honor of Mar eel Thil, tho European naiddle- weight champion, and when I got there Marcel, an early bird, already had knocked off the preliminary dishes, 50 to speak, and was work ing on 0 steak as big as c scatter rug.
 I wanted to talk to Marcel about the fight he lost to Fred ApoStoli on the carnival of champions card, but we didn't make much progress, what with my French limited to Eiffel Tower, darcon, oui oui, and Q poorly pronounced monsieur, and his English to percentage, money, and okay. I was getting pretty deS- perate, sitting there gazing at his head, which isn't bald ct all, despite what the boxing writers Say, but oil sprouted out with undecided little shoots like new rye grass, when Jeff Dickson came in.
 Jeff Dickson Is the Tex Rickard of France, just like Mike Jacobs is the Tex Rickard of America, Walter Rothenberg is the Tex Rickard of Germany, and FritEl something.or. the-other Is the Tex Rickard of Hungary. Dickson is c NatchGE, Mississippi, boy who stayed in Paris after the war, and now comes home only once c year to satisfy his cray. ing for fried chicken and Mississippi corn of the kind that Isn't taken off tho cob. Dickson said I ought to know the Thil'S better. Because they were the sinartest business people ne ever knew. He said, sec that gentle- man up at the end of tho table, the ono with the napkin tucked under his chin, well, that's Monsieur Alex Taitard. Soon as his daughter mar. ried Marcel, Papa Taitard fired Marcel'S manager and said will manage you, my boy, for the cus- tomary 8 and Ia per cent. And my daughter - your wife, 0eorg. cite -- will Do your trainer. For 10 per cent. Tn this way oil the money will be kept right in tho family. That's the way its been ever since and Marcel and papa and 0eorgette have more money than c pony could clear in two leaps. Dickson said that pretty girl three seats up from you--the real pretty one--iS oeorg- cite and you should talk to her. so I leaned over and said, Eiffel Tower gArcon oui oui and'd deorgetto smiled, took some pictures out of her purse and handed them to inc. This sur prised me, but I looked ct the pie lures and they were of Q little girl about four, ell dressed Up In . sun suit and batting c dog. The baby girl was very pretty and 1t was hard
