Louis Favored To Retain World Title Over Farr at Yankee Stadium
Broadway betting men rate Joe Louis a solid cinch to keep the heavyweight crown next Thursday night at Yankee Stadium and push Tommy Farr’s chances skyward. Louis at 1 to 6 to win with Farr priced heavily against him, as insiders predict a gate not exceeding 250000 dollars. Some expect a London rematch within 60 days if Farr shows creditably, while suspicions rise about Jacobs run events and whether gamblers influence the bout.
