Tommy Farr Shows Some Of His Old Skill

Larry Gains Retires At End Of

Of Five

Five Rounds: Injures His Right Hand

London, May 18.

Fighting with something like his old snap and speed, Tommy Farr, the Welsh heavyweight, won his second fight since his return to this country, when he beat Larry Gains, the veteran Canadian on the Cardiff City football ground last night.

Galna retired at the end of the 3th round. The retirement came as a surprise,

There was not a single murmur of disappointment. The crowd of over 25,000,

for Wales, had a record defied the bitterly cold wind to see Farr fight on Welsh soil again, and were delighted with his victory.
