Tommy Farr Makes Successful Start
His Comeback
To
Pontipridd, Wales, Sept. 27. Tommy Farr, former British Heavyweight Champion, made a successful start to his comeback tonight, when he knocked out Jan Klein, of Holland, in the sixth round of his 10-round contest.
It was Farr's first fight for 10 years. Klein was un- conscious for several seconds at the end of the count.
Farr, who in 1947 went 15 rounds with Joe Louis, the World Champion, who by coincidence has his comeback fight tonight, returned to the ring in a blaze of glory before 30.000 of his fellow countrymen,

THIRD DIVISION
SOUTH
FOOTBALL HAS ROCKETED UP TO HIGHEST STANDARD
SAYS ARCHIE QUICK
The football scason is exactly one calendar month old, as I write, and in that time I have seen 21 League matches, covering 35 different teams, and I have visited every ground in London and many in the on- virons of the Metropolis..
My outstanding impressions are that the play in the Third Division South has rocketed to a hitherto unknown high standard, mainly because of the importa. tion of players of quality; and that the early season fixture list is very badly over- crowded.
Here we are in the middle of September with most clubs having played ten matches. In four weeks they have completed a quar- ter of an eight months pro- gramme: This is, of course, to allow for the increases in the two sections of the Third Division and to make dates for the Cup ties.
