His manager, Mr Broadribb, said: "FaTr looks grand and is as fine as a ^azor. I am confident ho is going to win.'* Farr will have a light work-out with jthe bags on Tuesday, after which he jwui xest until Thursday. Excitement was caused by the sudden jappearance in the xing of Max Baer, jwho shouted to the crowd: "Earr oan't jpunch to lick. He can't hit as hard as ja fly." Farr replied: "I knocked you once jand will do so again now." Mr Broadribb and the ring attendants ,separated the pair before blows could ibe struck and persuaded the two toIshake hands. A Pompton Lakes message reports ithat Joe Louis hammered three sparring jpartners at an impressive work-out in iwhich he frequently knocked down his lopponents.
