A BOXER'S TROUBLES
DIFFERENCES WITH MANAGER TOMMY FARR'S ALLEGATIONS LONDON, Oct. 26. (Received Oct. 27, at 10 p.m.) Amazing allegations were made by Tommy Farr in an affidavit in the Chancery Division when Broadribb, his manager, applied for an injunction to restrain the boxer from appearing in a contest, or otherwise "exercising his talent." without Bxoadribb's consent. Broadribb alleged a breach of agreement, but Farr claimed that the agreement was terminated by mutual consent. Farr's affidavit stated that almost immediately after going to the United States Broadribb became hostile, and they were on very bad terms. Broadribb acted as his chief second for the championship bout, but seemed to do everything possible to make Farr lose. When his eyes were cut Broadribb produced a bottle of unknown mixture, and Farr was unable to see properly for two rounds. The hearing was adjourned.
