LOUIS' BOUT IN LONDON ON JULY 30
T. FARR HIS LIKELY
OPPONENT
CROWLEY UNABLE TO MEET ODWELL
(By HAROLD LEWIS)
London, April 22. IT was announced yesterday that the winner of the fight between Tommy Farr, the British heavy-weight champion, and a selected opponent, to take place in London early in June, would meet Joe Louis, the American negro heavy-weight, at the White City, London, on July 30.
:
APPARENTLY LOUIS IS COMING TO ENGLAND WHE- THER OR NOT HE BEATS JAMES BRADDOCK, WHOM HE MEETS FOR THE WORLD'S HEAVY-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AT CHICAGO ON JUNE 22.
No information is available as to whether Louis, if he wins the world title, will stake it in London, but it is almost impossible for any heavy-weight champion to fight without risking his title, unless the match is purely an exhibition affair of a few rounds.
