Sturdy and Tenacious.

EARR apparently has a sturdiness
and tenacity that many other
British heavyweights, at least in fair
ly recent years, have lacked. He is a
big fellow and put together like a
tighter, with rounded, heavily
muscled chin, thick neck, broad
waist and strong, supple legs.
He came plodding up from the Welsh
coal mines, fighting every step of the
way, and although he was drawing
only coffee and cake money until he
met Baer, he was ready for a big
money shot when he came to it.
He must have known that night that
Harringay Arena was packed with a
mob that was there expecting to see
the bombastic Baer rock him to sleep
In a couple rounds. But, if this was
so, he gave no sign of it, but fought
a heady fight and scored a clean-cut
victory.
1t was this fight that put him right
IN line for shot at Louis. Had Jim
Braddock defeated Louis, Joe would
have gone to England to fight Farr.
With the winning of the title by Louis
and the failure of negotiations looking
to return match between Louis and
Max Schmeling, Farr was invited to
step into the breach. He accepted
with alacrity, disentangled himself
from an agreement to fight Schmel-
ing, and will be here in a few days.

A Laugh? Maybe Not.

NOW Farr is in the United State!
with high hope OF beating Jot
Louis and taking the title home with
him. A natural inclination on the
part Of American observers of the fistiC
scene is to laugh at him and his pre-
tentlons on the theory that it has beer
so long since England had a heavy
weight who could fight that 1t isn't
likely Farr is any good either.
This may be true, but at least
Tommy has scored some family i'm
presSlVe victories, which was more
than could be said for his predecessors.
He had outpointed Tommy Loughran
and Bob Olin, who, whatever their
shortcomings may be as the years
rapidly overtake them, still are better
than fair boxers, and his defeat of
MAX Baer was a pleasant surprise to
his cOuntrymen.
Baer, having lost practically all his
prestige in this country, went abroad
IN an effort to recapture at least some
OF it and seemed headed in the right
direction when he was matched with
FaTr. Granted that Max never was a
boxer and that the old spring had
gone out of his legs, at least he still
could punch, and the impression here
was that any American heavyweight
who could punch could walk into any
British heavyweight and knock him
bow-legged.
That's what Baer thought. too.
But he kept walking into Farr with
out being able to hit him, and Farr
almost jabbed his head off and cut
him over one eye and generally
mussed him up. After six or eight
rounds OF this, Baer was a battered
and badly discouraged young man, and
Farr took the decision easily.
Since then Farr has stopped Walter
Neusel, and although stopping Neusel
Is no great performance-not even a
novelty. as a matter of fact-some
Americans who saw Farr do it liked
the way he went about it and have
sent back a very favorable report on
him.

Figures to Profit Well.

JACOBS is not as loony as his actions
appear on paper. Mike estimates
the entire card will cost him in the
neighborhood of $4,000 Figuring
that the card reasonably rates to draw
100000, Jacobs will have plenty
margin to credit to profit.
Montanez and Escobar come high,
and Jacobs figures he is better off
giving these boys a guarantee than a
percentage Ordinarily Escobar would
be entitled to 3712 per cent as the
champion. Montanez, as the chal-
.lenger, would call for 1872 per cent Of
the purse. BY paying them a guar
antee. Jacobs is making sure the per-
centage will be in his favor.
Freddie Steele is bound to raise a
squaWk because Jacobs will introduce
Marcel Thil as the middleweight
champion, but Steele has no one but
himself and manager to blame for
this state of affairs Thil has a just
claim to the title and is so recog-
nized by the National Boxing Asso-
citation.
The fans pay little attention to the
rulings of that body, but its decisions
carry some weight in something like
20 States. Had Steele accepted the
$4,000 offer Jacobs made for him to
fight Apostoli there would not have
been any need of reaching into France
for an opponent.

When a Dog Is winner"
WHAT is winning dog? The term
often is used very loosely to
designate dog which may have
placed third or fourth in class
1t is not known generally that even
blue ribbon winners at dog shows are
not, technically speaking, winning
dogs. A winning dog, in the American
Kennel Club definition of the term, is
one that has defeated all the blue
ribbon winners of his sex and breed
(the class winners) and been awarded
the purple rosette or ribbon, which
carries with 1t the points toward
championship warranted by the num-
Der of dogs of that sex and breed
actually in competition on the day.
To advertise a dog for sale or
at stud as a winning dog when
he has not won the purple ac-
tually is to be guilty of mis-
representation.

breeders. In at least three cases,
local dog breeders having no children
of their own have adopted youngsters.
In two Of those cases, they
have adopted two each and in
the third instance they are just
waiting a logical interval to
adopt second child.
Nor is it inconsistent that dog lovers
should be lovers of children, for the
love of dog has in it some of the ma
ternal, protective feeling that the love
of children connotes. And, also, the
raising OF dogs generally necessitates
the establishment Of home, the own
ership technical or temporary of q
house and some grounds. And these
are things that are but seldom owned
in this year Of grace except by fami-
lies with children.
All this is true of dog breeders. What
Of the pet owner? No doubt numerous
childless women, particularly in Wash
ington, perhaps, have dogs. Do they
have dogs instead of children, or do
they have dogs because circumstances
forbid their having children and dogs
act as substitutes? Would they have
children if they did not have dogs?
One minutes thought answers all
these questions.

Y spotlight when flstic news is
discussed. Long Shot Mike

Of 100000 for lightweight titular

guaranteed Lou Ambers 100000 and
the challenger, Pedro Montanez, S40,-

AS though this was a stab for the
ultimate in high-class promotion,
Jacobs has added a world bantam
weight affair between Sixto Escobar
and Harry Jeffra, a Welterweight
scrap between Champion Barney Ross
and Ceferino Garcia and a middle
