Oldfield's Praise For A.P.F. Chapman

When a player like W. A. Oldfield writes a book about cricket you can be sure it will be worth reading. The man who has been in the thick of the battle always has a truer story to tell than the fellow who looks on.

In "Behind the Wicket" (Hutchin- son. 10s 6d.) Oldfield has put together a number of entertaining stories and sound views.

Louis May Fight Tommy Farr

Joe Louis may fight Tommy Farr at Wembley. Joe's title would be at stake. Joe Gould, Farr's manager, stated on June 26 he had received the follow- ing message from Armand Vincent, a former Montreal fight promoter, now in London:-

"I have made Mike Jacobs a good offer for Joe Louis to defend his title against Farr in late September. ⠀ ̈I] have a powerful British syndicate be- hind me willing to finance the show if-the-match can be made.”

Except when Schmeling knocked out Louis two years ago no boxer has done so well against the Brown, Bomber as Tommy Farr, who lasted the whole fifteen rounds against him in August. last year.

Armand Vincent has also cabled to Mike Jacobs. His message was:—

"I am willing to guarantee: Louis -200,000 dollars (£40,000) or forty per cent, and five return tickets if he will defend his heavyweight title in Lon- don against Farr.".

Joe Gould said he was certainly willing to allow Farr to meet, Louis if everything mentioned was factory.
