James J. - Braddock, who used

Tha - winner has been prom
ise . a match -' with Max ... Baer.
also an ex-titleholder. The even
tual survivor . may be , sent
against either Joe Louis or Mar
Schmeling late in the summer.
Braddock, making his first
start since his gallant stand
against Louis in Chicago last
June is the sentimental favor
ite, but the Welshman who made
himself solid witn American
fight fans by staying 15 rounds
with Louis two months later, is
the betting choice at 1 to 3.
Promoter - Mike Jacobs says
15 000 fans will see the show
and the gate will net $80,000.
Demand for pasteboards is DrisK.
Farr Is r avorue
Louis will be at the ringside.
He watched Braddock at Pomp
ton Lakes and although he says
old Jim looks in better trim
than in the June fight, it Is not
hard to see the Bomber believes
Farr will win.
Most experts predict the fight
will go the limit with Farr the
winner.
A loss for Braddock may mean
th end of his rinsr career. Jim
says he . means to go . on fighting
indefinitely, but Manager joe
fionld insists he'll make bim
hang" up the gloves if he's on
the losing end
' Most Braddock backers think
Jim's superior punching : power
and the long left he used to win
the title from Max Baer will tip
the scales in his favor.
Braddock demonstrated he still
can sock. "He floored Louis with
a rieht in the first round of
their battle. .
