BOXING

LOUIS AND FARR. [Aust. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] LONG BRANCH (N.J.), August 15. Al Weill, manager of Lou Ambers, after watching Tommy Farr spar five rounds, dramatically offered Ted Broadribb thirty-five thousand dollars for his manager’s contract, P lus twenty-five per cent, of Farr's championship purse, representing at least 165 000 dollars. Broadribb replied that he would not consider unless agreeable to Farr, who exclaimed: “I do not want any other manager. This appears to dispose of the rumours that Farr and Broadribb were quarrelling. It also indicates how American experts regard Farr s chances, despite the fact that the betting odds favour Louis substantially.
