FARR BEATS BURMAN. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, April 14. 1 In a heavyweight bout last night. Tommy Farr beat the American Burman on points. "Red” Burman had not a particularly big reputation in America, where it was considered that his defeat of the former’ British champion was one of the best performances of his career. English critics say that the English heavyweights, Eddie Phillips, Len Harvey, or the Canadian, Larry Gains, would have proved stronger drawing cards with Farr than Burman.
