 It seems that the war has human ized-has melloWed the self-centered bully-boy from Tonypandy, Wales. Far different was the scarified, eau llf1oWered, sandy-haired toughie whom we met on the boat when he first came to the United States in 1887 to fight Joe Louis. Far different was the antagonizing screWball of that training camp at Long Branch, N. J.-a camp called "Goofycrest- by-the-Sea' because it was modified madhouse in which the Tonypandy Terrar was fighting with his man. ager and with the correspondents and in which the correspondents were battling constantly among themselves.
 Farr, who had changed managers and rubbed everyone the wrong way during the rest of his American cam- paign as he tried irritatingly to mix -pinching and playing the nigth spots, now is a different guy Punch Prado gives much credit to the war.

Paige ToFoce Sailors Today

New Haven, June 26-There have been endless arguments as to the greatest drawing card in baseball. Some claim Babe Ruth as the out standing individual Others hail Ted Williams, or Joes DiMaggio, or Bob Teller.
 But the man who has been pack ing them in year after year, and on his own ability, is Satchel Paige, the long, lean, slow talking, fast pitch ing colored finger In Detroit he set mark of 5O,OOO customers who turned out to see him pitch. In Chicago it was 10000; in Washing ton, 30,000.
 Over the years-he's been pitching for Is years now-countless thou sands have seen Paige in action, and several thousand more will be added to the total this afternoon when the great colored star hurls for the Kan- sas City Monarchs against the West Haven Sailors at Donovan Field, Savin Rock.

Wor Changes Wales Boxer
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, June 26-CUP)-The incredulous inhabitants of Punch Promenade give credit to the war for the reported transformation of heavyweight Tommy Farr from "heel" to swell fellow"
 Farr returned from New York to his native British Isles in 1889 after losing five consecutive bouts in the United States. His departure was punctuated with Bronx cheers along Jacobs Beach, because the Welsh scrapper had become thoroughly dis liked by nearly everyone connected closely with boxing in America.
 In the argot of cauliflower canyon. Farr seemed to be a "heel' a "Wrongo." Despite the ruggedness and gameness he displayed against Louis, Braddock, Max Baer. Nova and Burman, he was regarded as an egotistical braggart and an unde- pendable tight-Wad.
 Hence the surprise in Gladiators' Gulch during the past few days at s1AC CitDutC pau lO T dlL Dy rItuGy Sdrcoran, who returned recently &osa war work in the British Isles.

 They were told that Corcoran vas the former tournament man. ager of the Professional Golfers Association and more recently Red Cross club director in the British Isles. They were informed that Freddy Corcoran never gave a sports writer a bum steer.
 So the men of the fancy" had to credit the transformation to the war.
 Corcoran reported that Farr was giving his all' for the entertain ment of American and British troops. Farr, who was in the Royal Air Force early in the war but who was busted because of impaired sight, now operates a hotel and pub at Brighton, Eng. His "jernt" makes money while Tommy is on the scene, personally. But Farr leaves his

Evanston, H., June 26 --(UP)- The 59th National er-Collegiate tennis tournament adhered to a familiar pattern today as it moved into it's final round with Francisco (Pancho) Segura of the University of Miami facing Tom Brown, Jr., of the University of California for hte singles crown.
 The doubles title round pitted Brown and his partner, Harry But timer.
 The colorful Ecuadorian won his way into the finals by eliminating Earl Cochell of Southern California with ridiculous ease, 6-3, 6-3, 6-0
 Brown had more difficulty in ad- vancing than Segura, but the power of his overhead and ground strokes outweighed the steadiness of Evert to give him a c.2, 4-6, 6-3. GA vic- tory.
 While play in the singles ran strictly to form, the doubles semi finals brought the tournaments major upset with the elimination of Cochell and his partner, Robert Kimbrell. by Hickman and drive in bitterly contested four set match, 6-3, 7-9, 6-2, GA.

 New York, June 26-UP) Joe Gordon, New York Yankee second- baseman, today passed milestone in noe of baseball's most illustrious careers, but he vas going the wrong way.
 Already deep in a slump, Gordon scraped bottom yesterday when he batted out of turn and cost the Yankees a victory in a game with the Boston Red Sox that ended 2-2 when darkness intervened after II innings.
 Gordon's ninth inning home run that tied the score spared him fur ther embarrassment and kept Char ley Wensloff's four-hitter from de- veloping into loss. Yank Terry and Mace Brown teamed to hold the Bronx bombers to six blows.
 Elmer Valo hit venerable Dutch Leonard's second pitch for a home run that set off an explosion of 15 Philadelphia hits as the Athletics moved down the Washington Sena- tors, 5-2. Orrie Arntzen confined the Senators to six hits and struck out nine in registering his third tri- umph.
 Power hitting paid off in St. Louis when Vern Stephens and Mike Chartak each hit tWo-run homers to lift the Browns to 6-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers belted Denny Galehouse for II hits while the Brownies were getting most of their runs on seven hits off Dizzy Trout and Tommy Bridges.
 Southpaw Al Smith beat the Chi cago White Sox for the third straight time as the Cleveland h. dianS climbed into a tie for third place in the American League with 6-2 success Smith scattered eight hits, one by rookie Guy Cartwright that boosted his hitting streak to 2l games.
 In the National league, Hi Bit horn almost single-handedly pulled the Chicago Cubs out of the cellar with a sparkling tWo-hit pitching job that gave Chicago 60 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals in Wrigley Fields first twilight game in history.
 Only Johnny Hopp and Dan Lit Whiler connected safely off Bithorn while the Cubs were making short work of Ernie White, Harry Brech- cen, Murry Dickson and George Munger.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers blew chance to cut into the Cardinals game and a half lead by lowing to the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-2 Coak- CT Triplett personally accounted for five Phjle de]phia runs with a pair of rousing triples to lead the 15-hit attack On Buck NeWsom, Les Web- Der and Max Macon. Schoolboy Rowe gave up eight hits in winning.
 Home rurns by H1el Ott and Dick Bartell of the New York Giants went for nothing as the Boston Braves triumphed, 5-3. Four runs in the fifth inning, plus harley Workman's homer two innings earl fer, sewed up Nate Andrews sixth pitching victory.
 Pittsburgh Cincinnati was post poned.

timers and fight fans gen. erally will enjoy the ring reminis- cences of Harry J. Coleman, who covered most of the nations major bouts from 1900 on as a Hearst photographer, and recounts his ex- perience in GIVE US A LITTLE SMILE, BABY, published by E. P. Dutton on July 5.
 As a sketch man for the New York Journal, Coleman saw his first match at Coney Island in 1899 when Jeffries took the heavyweight crown from Bob Fitzsirlmors. Box ing was outlaWed in New York the following year and Coleman recalls some of the fights in New Jersey to which New York fans were snug gled in rowboats SO that they might watch fourth-rate pugs play squat tag by candlelight."
 Coleman saw them all. Moving out to the San Francisco Examiner in 1904. he snapped the early bouts at Jimmy Coffroth's stadium in Col ma and at WoodWard's Gardens on Valencia street. Coffroth's promo IlOIl Ol UllC pat " IllOt fight (which Coleman and Jack London coveredD led Tex Rickard to initiate his spectacular Goldfield. Nevada. shows. There, in company with many great names in the sporting world, Coleman worked the Gans-Nelson fight. Finally. at Reno, he recorded the memorable passing of a champion when Jack Johnson whipped Jeffries in a dramatic bout preceded by an unscheduled off, ring clash between the two old war horses John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett.
 The volume is illustrated by Cole man photos right out of the mem ory book, and by ten cartoons drawn especially by Harry Lewis, George Herriman, Rube Goldberg and others.
