Common Practice

This is a matter Of plain arith-
metic. Why should Uncle Mike
postpone a bout hoping that an
additional four-day ticket sale
would take him out of the red. not
knowing how many disappointed
clients would wish their money
back. It's a common practice.
But money in New York is like
water slipping through your fin
gers, and they've had a lot Of
water in New York recently, too.
And, say, does the postpone
ment from Thursday to Monday
operate as a bad omen against
Louis. His fight with Schmeling

BATTLES BAER
OCT. e.; FAIR
IN NOVEMBER
Tom Is II Choice
Against Louis
BY DAVIS J. Wal TH

1ntefnatlOnal news SERVICE SPOEHS G4A""S
NEW YORK, Aug. 20 e. 81.
OF course, 1t all goes back to the
fact that you can't tell anything
about prize fighting, except that
It undoubtedly hurts. Yet today.
while we're all so busy waiting for
Louis to bop Farr for the worlds
heavyweight championship on
Monday night, the current an
nouncement is that you not only
cannot foresee what may happen
but, actually, you can't even sur
mise.
It's possible, in fact. that James
]. Braddock, the Cinderella man
who came from dock walloper to
the championship might even have
reappointment with fate. He
might possibly come back to the
championship without even boxing
Louis, the champion.
MAKES TWO MATCHES
This was all made possible, more
or less in the gaudy, fantastic pat
tern that originally gave Braddock
to the pages of romance, yesterday
when it was announced that he had
made two matches.
The first was with Max Baer.
ex-champion. at Madison Square
Garden on October 20; the second.
less than a month later at the
opening of the new National Sport
ing Club, London, with FAR 40
his opponent.
The latter wasn't announced as
a championship match. 1t will be
and could. if Farr goes so COM
pletely silly as to beat Louis out
of the million-dollar champion
ship on Monday night.
Farr, in other words, might
conceivably wind UP as champion.
WILL FIGHT FAIR
His first defense of the title
might, therefore, conceivably be
made against Braddock who-win
or lose in the Baer fight in late
October-is seemingly to make
the Farr fight. anyhow. He beat
Baer for the title two years ago
and nobody knows any good rea.
son why he can't repeat, with
Baer furnishing the lesser teSti-
mony on this count.
This leaves only FAIR. And all
Farr, British Isles champion, need
produce is a fantastic 7-to-1 win
over Joe Louis on Monday, or, are
we guardedly going crazy? This,
as matter of fact, is what we
wondered about ourselves the
night Baer didn't beat Braddock.
