CONTROVERSY ENDED
Considerable comment has appeared in the Press regarding the justice of the decision in the Louis-Farr bout, but to those who have seen the film version of the fight, the controversy is dead. Although Farr put up a splendid performance as a shock absorber, it is obvious that he is not in Louis’ class as a fighter, and that the decision in Louis’ favour is beyond question. The decisive factor, Louis' clean, quick and powerful punch, is attributed by Louis himself to his diet of rich meat. Local aspirants for boxing honours will do well to follow his example and train on primest export quality beef, obtainable at the Farmers’ Co-op. Meat Co., Ltd., Victoria Avenue, opp. Hotel Imperial.*
