Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, 3 CHAMP RATES 5 1 SHOT OVER TOMMY FARR IN TITLE TEST By GAYLE TALBOT New York, Aug. 30, UP) The good fairies, if any, that flit about and protect the boxing game, from violent harm have a job ahead of them tonight at. the Yankee Stadium, providing Promoter Mike Jacobs doesn't think he smells rain again.

The same's little Pinkertons will need to be in sound shape, able to travel 15 rounds at a fast clip and to protect themselves at all times. Tommy Farr, the visaing problem child, is supposed to fight Champion Joe Louis that distance, and the little fellows had better be in there slugging on Joe side every minute if they are to earn their keep. Nobodv wants the Welshman to get hurt not seriously. Even Mike Jacobs would be willing to seuie for a nice, comfortable Louis victory on points. But everybody seems agreed it would be a triple plated catastrophe if Tommy ac tually should saw tne iimo on behind all the experts and win the title, like he's been threatening.

Although he has the weisnman sewed up tighter than a telephone booth, win or lose, Jacobs has been noticed to blanch slightly at tne mere suggestion that Farr might win. Joe Louis, as champion, is a mpal ticket that Mike, by all has onlv iust begun to punch. Hie Crowd Likely Mike has been gleefully pre dieting a crowd of 40,000 and S400.000 sate tonight since new customers kept coming ngnt aiong after last Thursday's postpone ment. That's higher tnan anyone else will go in the figures. Various boxing commissions who th nk they've had trouoie with some of the racket's more rollicksome individuals, like Max Baer.

had better go right into training for a bruising tussle if Tonypandy Tommy gets his duke hoisted tonight. The williui Welshman, if all the yarns about him are only partially true, mignt insist that General Phelan wear full dress uniform at all official weigh ins and conduct board meet ines in the champions mother tongue. The 5 to 1 odds that Louis will retain his newly won crown to nisht reflect the young Negro', personal popularity almost equally with the public faith in the ter rific punch that carried him to the top. The championship ap parently hasn't turned his head at all. He still serene, courteous and tractable, and the boys like that.

Except for that highly debated knockdown in Farr camp Friday, the four day postponement has produced nothing of moment. nothing calculated to increase in terest in the bout or pull in the additional customers so devoutly wished for by the promoter. All that remains is the sigh of relief that will arise from the ring side pews if, and when, Louis clouts the tempestuous Tommy down. It will sound like a 40 mile wind hitting a cornfield. columbiaIcores IN SOFTBALL TEST Danville, Aug.

Melton. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH New Jobs For Horned: Fort Hunter Tennis Coach Signs to Teach at Tome By AL CLARK Russell W. Harned, tennis coach at the Harrisburg Country Club, today has signed one contract to coach a preparatory school in 1938 and has a West Indies offer under consideration. "I signed yesterday to coach the Tome Academy students in 1938," Harned said. "My second offer it is a winter berth is from a racquet club at Curcao, Dutch West Indies," Harned said.

It is highly possible, he intimated, that this berth will be taken by him. Coach Harned had been at Fort Hunter for two seasons and is the motivating figure in tennis in the Central Pennsylvania district. His career has been long and highly successful. Two of his proteges, Ed Green, and George Reilly, III, left yesterday to play in the annual tournament at Buck Hills Falls. Jim Reider another of his pro teges, yesterday won his second Harrisburg Country Club tennis championship.

He defeated Billy Binder in four sets for the crown held last season by George Reilly, III. The scores were: 4 6, 6 2, 6 0, 7 5. Play in the girls' division for the Fort Hunter trophies donated by Harned got under way today. Play for the boys singles will be started tomorrow. The boys seedings follow: Bob Herre, Sam Fleming, Hamlin Neely, Ted Green.

Girls seedings are: Emily Long, Almeda Fager, Jean Keister, Mary Jane Long.

ryv 7 2 I orikdsiliptei ft pure always on Advice For Chillun: Wine, Women and Foolish Bets Get Sound Pannings By JIMMY POWERS New York, Aug. 30. Danny MacFayden's story of stumbling while answering a phone in a dark room and breaking his toe reminds us of Virgil Barnes and his sprained ankle. Barnes told Mc Graw he fell in a slippery bathroom. McGraw's coaches had a different story, reporting the pitcher skidded climbing a fire escape to beat the Giants' curfew.

McGraw said: "I fine you $500. Not because of your injury but because you told such blank blank fairy tale!" Barnes had the last laugh. A bath mat maker paid him $1000 for a testimonial. Betting snarls: "What do you think of a gold diggjng wench who works the men in our office betting $10 to $20 on baseball or football games? If she loses, she tells the poor sucker she was just kidding. If she wins, she is around screaming until she is paid off to the last penny." S.

J. Ozone Park. Comment: Next time, tell her you were kidding too. "My husband had a few too many drinks when he was lured into a foolish bet on Kingfish Levinsky against Louis. His so called friend (cold sober) took advantage of him.

Next morning my husband regretted his act and asked the bet be called off. This was two weeks before the fight. He was hounded and called 'Welsher' until he paid $100." Mrs. M. M.

Bronx. Comment: A gentleman never tries to collect a "likker bet" of this type. Beware of these: "A sharpie clipped everyone in Detroit," reports Bob Jeans, "with a simple boxing question.
