'WHO IS THERE ON THE CONTINENT FOR ME TO FIGHT', ASKS TOMMY FARR

BY ARCHIE QUICK

Sitting_oppošile Tommy Farr on a railway journey the other day I wondered what was in store for Britain's best heavyweight boxer since World War One. The ex-Tonypandy miner had no doubts on the matter. "There is no one in Europe good enough,” he said, “so I must look to- wards America. I want Baksi, Savold or Mauriello, with the preference for Bahsi,"

When I pointed out to Farr that people were talking about the poorness of the apposition chosen for him in his comeback fight at Pontypridd on September 27-Klein of Holland-Parr came back with: "Who is there on the Continent for me to fight? I wenld not mind Olle Tandoberg, the Swede who beat Baksi, and the Board of Control will not let me go in with Woodcock even if Bruce were willing, which he is not.”

·

"I did not choose Klein. I wanted someone who if I beat him would show T was back on the top rung und who if he beat me would prove to my own satisfaction that I was finished. A one-round win over Klein and they will say 'n push-over.' If it goes some distance they will say I am no good. That is why I wanted a top notcher."

Soccer Selectors Have A Final Look Round

London, Sept. 16. England soccer selectors were out n force today having a final look round be- fore choosing their side to meet Ireland in Belfast on October 7.

The centre-forward position is providing them with one of the biggest prob lerns. At least six players are in the running, one of whom strengthened his claims for international recognition today with a particularly sound display. He is J. Leo, the Derby leader and top goal scorer in English football this season, who cracked home two splendid goals against Fulham to bring his total to ning.
