Farr Goes Route
With Brown Bomber
Joe Louis, holder of the heavy
weight championship, and Tommy
Farr, who is the heavyweight
champion of the British isles, met
in the Yankee Stadium in New
York last Monday night for the
title that Louis won a couple of
months ago from James Braddock.
The fight went the limit, fifteen
rounds, and was a surprise all the
way. American sport writers,
not having received a lesson from
the Schmelling-Loius fight, made
little of the British challenger and
the average lover of sports, acting
upon the matter took what he read
as the dope from people who should
know and were convinced that the
Welshman had no chance at all
and looked for his elimination
in four or five rounds. So what
was their surprise when the chal
lenger Tarried the fight to the
dusky champion in practically every
round, having decidly the better
of the contest in many of the
rounds. Farr put up a great fight
and practically all of the O’Neill
fistic lovers, who listened to the
account over the radio, were con
vinced that Farr could get noth
ing worse than a draw, but the
judges decided otherwise and gave
the fight to Louis on points. In
the fifteenth and last round Farr
socked Louis with rights and lefts
and had him hanging on trying to
evade punishment. Had the fight
gone to a finish it might have had
a different result. One thing cer
tain Louis lost a lot of his pres
tage as a result of this fight and he
may be an easy mark for the next
good man he enters the ring with.

Striking
Force
Exerted
in a
Collision
NO ONE would be foolish enough to drive
an automobile off of a precipice into a
straight drop of 120 feet, but the driver
who fails to slow down when an approaching
car is on the wrong side of the road is running
as great a risk. If the driver of the on-coming
car is asleep, as sometimes happens, the car
will remain on the wrong side of the road.
In the event of a collision, with both cars trav
eling but 30 miles per hour, they would strike
with the force of a 120 foot drop. If corpses
could speak, they would warn us not to take
for granted an obstruction will be removed
by the time we reach it. When a car is ap
proaching on the left side of the road it is wise
to slow down to a speed so that you can drive
into the ditch if necessary to avoid collision.
If forced off the road at 40 miles per hour
you would strike a solid object such as a tele
phone pole with an impact equal to a drop of
53.5 feet. At a speed of only 20 miles per hour
the impact would equal a drop of 13.4 feet.
Few people would willingly attempt that small
a drop in an automobile.
