FEW VOICE DOUBT BOMBER DESERVED TO GET DECISION Champion Never Learned to| Fight: Welsh Challenger, Observer Declares SCORING OF BOUT DIFFERS British Champion Would Have Won by Knockout If He | Had Good Right Hand By GAYLE TALBOT New York, Aug. 31.—(7)—Joe Louis still has his heavyweight champion- ship, and he also has a new and round-eyed respect for Tommy Farr. So have 37,000 fans who sat in the lights and shadows of Yankee sta- dium last night and watched the old carnival fighter, half-blinded at the finish, jab and jimmy it out with the alleged Negro thunderbolt for 15| rounds. There wasn't much doubt that the brown ex-bomber deserved the de- cision., He did, as badly scared as he looked in spots. In fact, he looked FARR IS BEATEN, BUT VICTOBY FLARES ANYWAY | Ton-y-pandy, Wales, Aug. 31.— (®)—A high lonely flame on Trea- law mountain today illuminated the strangest scene ever inspired by a if Tommy Farr, Ton-y-pandy’s own, should win his fight with Joe Louis in New York. Tommy lost but the bonfire flared just the same. The manner of his losing was so the fire of “victory.” as dumb as ® dime detective most of the evening. He never learned how to fight Farr. Yet he was the better man, and Ton-y-pandy Tommy will be the last to deny it. Farr is a big man in the boxing game today, even though a loser. He can stay around—as he: plans to do— and make himself a lot of money. He put up a great fight against a foeman who was expected to knock him spraddle-legged, and when his defeat like a soldier. Received eight, and that there wasn’t anything Ban Rerer in the other two. The spectators from ten rows on back thought Farr won the championship, by a country mile. It just goes to show. This much is certain: The old car- nival scrapper put up a whale of a fight; he carried the carnage to Louis most of the way, and he undoubtedly would have won by @ knockout if he had possessed a righthand wallop to compare with Schmeling’s. Louis Was Hurt It's also true that Louis, though he was puzzled at Tommy’s style all the way was hurt and badly fightened a couple of times when Farr clouted him, had what it took to collect him- self and jab out a victory, with his left. There wasn’t a knockdown. In the fifth round, after the crowd had done some booing, Louis whipped over a quick right to the jaw and followed with a left that staggered Farr, but the bell saved the Welshman from serious trouble. ‘Those were perhaps the most dam- Come in and watch. aging. blows of the fight.

They don’t play great ball; sometimes they don’t even play good ball. But they’re a money team, and they play those breaks for all they're worth. Right now, such other powers as the Cubs, Cardinals and Pirates appear to be quietly falling apart. So the Giants, putting together timely hitting and good pitching, are making the most of it.
