London, July 15. TOMMY FARR yesterday won

his fight in the Chancery Division, and is free to meet Joe Louis in the United States; in a world championship bouti before facing Schmeling.

ie told Mr. Justlee Bennett, in an afkavk, that he was ready to meet Joe Louis (who recently bent; Jim Braddock in a world title con- test) and then Max Schmeling (whom, it was stated in court, the British Boxing Board of Control re- cognised us world champion).

A

Mr. Justice Bennett dismissed motion by Mr, Sydney Hulls, the boxing promoter, who sought an in- is Junction to restrain Farr, who British and Empire heavy-weight champlon, from boxing: publicly without the consent in writing of Mr. Hulls before the date of the Farr-Schmeling contest, agreed upon in a contract.

Mr. Lionel Cohen. K.C., for Mr. Hulls, said that in view of the faci that Farr was leaving for the United States to-morrow Mr. Hulls had to move at once.

EARLIER BOUTS

The history of the matter was that on March 15, 1937, under the man- agement of Mr. Hulls, there was a fight between. Farr and Ben Foord

On April 20, 1937, a contract was arranged for a contest between Farr: and Waller Neusel, and on the same! day a contract was made that in the being successful event of Farr against Neusel he agreed to box Joe' Louis, the contest to be promoted by Ted Broadribb, seting for Farr.

£7,500 PAYMENT

Next came a contract of June 22, which was the agreement sued on, Mr. Coben maintained that, in con- sideration of a promised payment of £7,500, plus percentages of the Alm and broadcasting rights, and the gute receipts, there was a definite contract by Farr to fight, as his next opponent, Max Schmeling, who was prepared to meet him on any date in September.

Mr. Cohen read an affidavit by Mr. Hulls which stated that it was clearly understood by Farr when he signed the agreement that he was not entitled to box publicly until he fought Schmeling.

"I AM READY TO FIGHT" Mr. Alexander Grant, K.C., read an affidavit by Farr in which he said that when the contrack was entered into there was no suggestion that it should contain any prohibition against his boxing Louts before the date of the Schmeling contest.

The affidavit continued:

"I do not desire to remain idle for three months, and if Mr. Hulls had inserted such prohibition should not have signed the con- trnet.
