FARR BREAKS WfTHMANAGER Tommy Farr And Manager At Odds; Farr Threatens To Retire Long Branch. N. J.. Sept. B—<U.R> ’ I —The much rumored break be-. tween British heavyweight champ-*’ ion Tommy Farr and his manager,; Ted Broadribb, was in the open today. Farr threatened to retire from the ring and Broadribb was trying to peddle his contract for half price. ‘ Broadribb and I are definitely finished.” the 23-year-old Welshman who stayed 15 rounds with Joe Louis last week said. "Furthermore. because of all the discomforts and mental anguish 1 have suffered, I probably will retire and never make another fight.” Broadribb said he has reached a verbal agreement with Thomas i Babe» Culnan. Newark, N. J., promoter, whereby Culnan would take half of Broadribb s 25 per cent of Farr s earnings for managing the British titleholder in any other American fights. Broadribb has not received his share of the Farr-Louis fight receipts. he said. He blamed it on Tommy's failure to "okay' s3.ow training camp expenses. Broadribb also charged that Farr threat ened to "punch him in the nose last Friday. Ted remained at home last night while Tommy attended a testimonial dinner at the west end Casino Farr said that the feud with Broadribb was one of long standing. but that the first open breach occurred last week-end. "Broadribb has kept me in a continual state of hot water." Farr said. "He almost ruined me in the Louis fight by insisting on fauze for the cuts under my eyes. I was nearly blinded despite the protest of my old trainer. Tom Evans. Broadribb only saw me In training once before my fight with Max Baer last spring while Tom has been with me eight years, and he should know what's best for me. “I have saved enough money in the last seven years to live in luxury the rest of my life if I never j fight again. And I may not. I m sick and tired of the whole mess.; especially the way the boxing game is being run today.” Farr and Broadribb both denied making the statement printed in the Toronto Globe and Mail yesterday which said they were •bloomin' well fed up” with the L'nited States. o TWO TITLISTS ARE ANNOUNCED Roily Affolder Boys’ Champion; ParrishTownsend Doubles Champions in two divisions of the annual city tennis tourney sponsored by the Decatur Junior Chamber of Commerce were an-' nounced today. Roily Affolder was crowned the boy's city singles champion, when he downed Bill Melchi after a bard , battle that saw the first set go 22 games and the second 12 games The final score was 12-10. 7-5. Affolder is the first boys' champion to be named here, this being the first year the organization has sponsored the junior tourney.

This was the third straight title for the winning combination, thereby giving them permanent J possession of the coveted prize. In the singles division Parrish, who left Labor Day for Jackson. Michigan, where he has accepted a position, forfeited to Bun AffoldI er, brother of the boys’ champion, in the semi-ffhals.
