Broadribb alleged breach of agreement. Farr claimed that the agreement was terminated by mutual consent. Farr’s affidavit stated that almost immediately after going to the United States, Broadribb becaffie hostile. They were on very bad terms. Broadribb acted as his chief second for the championship bout but seemed to co everything possible to make Farr lose. When Farr’s eyes were cut, Broadribb produced a bottle of an unknown mixture and Farr was unable to see properly for two rounds. The hearing was adjourned.
