FARR'S FINE WIN OVER

MAXIE BAER

Record Crowd At Harringay

Harringay Stadium, Apr. 15. Tommy Farr, Welsh and British Empire heavyweight cham- plon, before the biggest crowd for a fight in Britain'since' Car- nentler fought Beckett, outpointed the former world's champion. Max Baer, the Californian.

The crowd was the most fashionable seen at an English ring- side in some time. Notables present included Lord Hewart, Lord Burghiey, Lord Kemsley, Lord Lach, Lord Stanley. the Marqueas and Marchioness of Queensberry. Walter Neusel, the fighter, who will probably be meeting the winner at Harringay this summer, watched the fight with close attention.

Baer outweighed and outreached the Welshman, and he had five years of ring experience to the good as well. Baer is 28 and Fart 23. Farr weighed 14 stone 2 lb. and was the first to enter the ring to a crescendo of applause. He appeared very confident. Baer. weight 15 stone 1 lb. was it a happy mood, and playfully-puri- ched his seconds in the ribs as they tied on his gloves.

In the first round Farr took a lead on points, landing smart lefts to the face and opening a wound above Baer's left eye. The Aimer- can was half-blinded with blood.

TIGERISH ONSLAUGHT Farr started the second round with a tigerish onslaught, and con-

tinued to use his left hand with beautiful precision Baer's grima ces failed to impress the Weishman with the other's savagery.

In the third. Baer came out grim and businesslike. He clouted Farr's ears and then caught him at close quarters. The fourth round was even,

Nevertheless, the Ameri- can won the round.

In the eighth Farr shook Baer with a straight left to the jaw and fallowed up the advantage with another smashing right to the left eye, causing the blood to stream from the cut. "

There was hectic fighting on the ropes in the ninth, with Baer scor- ing telling short-arm jolts to the head. Neither the boxers nor the referee heard the bell, and al- though the seconds tried to stop the fighting, the referee ordered the men to fight on until the time- keeper called a halt,

FIERCE EXCHANGE Farr sustained damage to his left eye in a fierce exchange in the eleventh round. Baer was the aggressor and landed repeatedly on Farr's face.

Both went "all out" in the twelfth, Baer trying hard för a knock-out. But Farr kept him away with his untiring left.

The decision for Farr, was re-

Harringay Stadium, Apr. 15. The American featherweight champion, Petey Barron, in a ten- round fight here to-night, defeated Harry Mizler, of London, thus re- taining his world's championship.

Miler towered over the little fighter from America, but Barron. with the bell. immediately com- menced swinging blows to the body and boxed with great speed, often bewildering his opponent. His two-handed attack was most effec- tive.

Barron almost knocked Mizler out in the second round with a right to the jaw. The Londoner recovered, however, and provided a strong finish.
