TOMMY FARR

The London papers of June 16. describing Tommy Farrs knock-out victory over Neusel, the powerful German who had been a stumbling block to Farr predecessors in the British and Empire heavyweight championship, throw a somewhat different light on the victory than did the cables which, necessarily, summarized it briefly. It appears that Farr dominated the fight from the start, in spite of Neusel's aggressive tactics. and managed to stave off the German's boring-in attack and at the seme time inflict severe punishment is ostensibly aimed. Nowadays propaganda activities of that kind are far too numerous and General Homma's ckservations are to be welcomed as they have a lesson for capitals other than Moscow.
