NEW YORK, Jan. 10 Q.N.S0.
They're talking about a gate OF
$75,0OO for the prize fight between
James j. Braddock and Tommy
Farr here on Friday night, an
amazing:to-n1e sum Of money for
Q contest Of this nature.
All I know is thai apparently
Q great deal Of money is being
spent for a contest between two
fighters whose principal claim to
distinction is that they can't beat
Joe Louis. ...
This man Braddock, in fact,
just simply, won't stay put. He's
the Phoenix of the prize fight bust
ness. He rises again and again
from the ashes of an APPARENTLY
defunct career. He's apparently
as inevitable as the sunrise and
as final as the close Of day. I
like him. You've got to.
IN THE MONEY NOW
He isn't at the crossroads any
more. He's been there three or
four times and if he didn't take
the right turn would be the last
to chide him. And don't call him
the cinderella man any more.
BY this time he's made enough
money at Chicago with Louis and
in New York with this Friday
night business to be the prince
charming.
No, the man is positively not at
the crossroads. He was there, in
fact, all Of 10 years ago when he
met Tommy Loughran for the
light heavyweight championship
and lost is rounds out Of a pos
Sible IS. He was even past the
crossroads when he was being
thrown out of the ring at Mount
Vernon and refused admittance to
the RidgeWood Grove, while los
ing decisions to Babe Hunt,
Charlie Retzlaff, Hans Birkie,
Baxter Gaines, Martin LevandoW-
ski and AL Stillman.
The rest of it has been gone over
enough without further repetition
here. The Jersey City railroad
yards. the relief rolls, Corn Griffin
and Braddock on the floor.
Braddock off the floor and Corn
Griffin there-but permanently.
KEEPS CLIMBING
Braddock and John Henry
Lewis, with the latter losing three
rounds-and the decision-on
fouls. Braddock and Art Lasky.
The latter had a bad right hand,
which was "coked'' too soon, with
the result that everything wore
off at the close of 10 rounds and
Braddock came on to win.
Braddock and Max Baer. The
latter had to take James as chal.
lenger because Max Schmeling re
fused to have any fraction of the
young man. Oddly, Schmeliug is
still seeking to reclaim the heavy
weight championship while Brad
dock already has won and lost :l1e
title. A crazy, comical story, yes.
But the climax hasn't been
reached yet, according to several
boxing managers. They are Dan
Morgan and Harry tenny and
their tale is that they're picking
Braddock. The only trouble with
the average boxing manager is
that he couldn't pick a name out
Of a city directory.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10 G.NSO.
James j. Braddock and Tommy
Farr were to be put through final
workouts at their respective train
ing camps today in preparation
for their bout here Friday night.
= While Farr rested yesterday,
Braddock boxed six rounds. The
former ch m p OF n weighs 1877
pounds and expects to weigh in at |
that poundage.
Champion Joe Louis and Joe
DiMaggio, Yankee baseball star
were expected to watch Braddock
box four rounds today.
