Sports Shorts— Just to show how little the American fight promoters think of Tommy Farr’s chances with Joe Louis, the Englishman was not re: quired to post a guarantee to de fend the title in this country. . . When Max Schmelling signed for a meeting with Jim Braddock he had to guarantee $25,0000 that he would return to the United States for a title defense within six months, proving that boxing is a Very funny business. ~.

You Wanna Bet?— The wrter met a good sport ut Russell’s Cigar Store the other day. He wanted to bet me that the ‘Yanks or the C ft be in the world ser t Medwick nor DiMaggio nor Gehr ; would be the batting champs of their leagde. I just laughed and j walked off.
