there were times when he was

"Is Ambers sucker for a right

oh Yes, the Fight

Now, to get back to the bust
ness at hand-the Louis-Farr fight.
Four days hasn't changed its
flavor. It's still the stepchild that
it was the day the match was
made.
It might almost be called the
enfant malade, although its cheeks
have a bit better box-office glow
than last Thursday at noon when
the four-day stay was granted.
You can hear all sorts of ap-
praisals of the problem child that
this fight has turned out to be
mostly to Mike JacobS-but you
can't find any money to back up
the estimates.
Some say it won't go one full
round.
Others think it might go along
as far as the fourth, which was
the canto in which Louis caught
up with the badly frightened Baer.
Few give it chance to last as
long as six or eight except,
Of course, the moving picture execu-
tiveS who have paid $4,000 for
the flicker rights. The wish is
probably the daddy Of the thought
in their case.
All of which makes me very
leery Of this fight tonight, because
I hate to see such a unanimity
Of opinion.
When everyone is so sure that
Joe Louis will win. by one course
or another, as they were that
Dempsey would beat Tunney in
1925, and that Louis would beat
Schmeling in 1886, it is indeed
time to be apprehensive.
But in this case there are many
telltale evidences on the surface.
Haven't we been informed by
RingmaSter Mike Jacobs that Farr
and Braddock are going to fight
next November?
Where, of where, would Mike
put a championship fight in the
cold month of November!
And who the hell do you think

that maybe there will be no fight
at all.

In case there is, the distance Of

will be $4,000, the gate probably

Farr won't finish, except In the
seemingly ordained posture. Four
to one says he won't win.
BEGIN TO LIKE FAIR
These are shorter odds than
they we're quoting back there on
Thursday, the original date Of the
fight. But, for some reason or
perhaps none, they're beginning to
like Farr around here. Not quite
as well as he likes himself, Of
courSe-but a little.
Perhaps it is that people are
beginning to like Louis somewhat
less. He had been IL with no
takers, but his weight went off

he might have become too good

therefore, is ready-for what?

it will be to make a better fight

What was to be steak last

hash tonight, if you gather
what I'm trying to say.
Thomas Tonypandy Farr,
Great Britain's gift to the man
ly art, and Joe Louis, Ala
bama's greatest orator since
Tom Helm, do a bit of de-
batting at Yankee Stadium to-
night, but neither is likely to
speak a word.
They will use the sign language
exclusively, because that is so eff
fective and conclusive. There is
little rebuttal for hard left-hand
in any language.
Universal Utterdnce
On second thought there are
likely to be a few 'uhs" with q
grunt and a groan thrown in, but
since there are the same in Eng.

stands.
Meanwhile, over the weekend,
I have done a little investigating
