Louis-Farr Title Battle Off Until Monday Because

Of Threatening Weather

Postponement Announced by Jacobs After Pair Had

Weighed In Revealing

Advantage; Both Take Delay Caimly.

By United Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The Joe Louis-Tommy Fair heavyweight

championship prize fight scheduled

today until Moncay evening because of threatening weather. Announcements of the postponement was made by promoter Mike Jacobs immediately after the rivals had been examined and weighed. Louis weighed 198, and Farr, the former Welch coal miner who holds

the British Empire title, was 207. “The Weather Bureau advised continue all day,” Jacobs said.

sit on wet benches. We considered holding the fight tomorrow night but the weather forecast for tomorrow is the same as for today.” Jacobs also said that he was opposed to a Friday date because of the fact that so many people go out of town Friday evening. The boxers will have to weigh-in again Monday, when they also wiil be given new physical tests.

Tommy Is Unconcerned

At first it was stated a second weigh-in would not be necessary. A second weigh-in is not usual in postponed heavyweight fights. However, Gen. John Phelan, chairman of the State Athletic Commission, said that he had ordered another weigh-in.

“A lot can happen between now |

and Monday,” he said, “and we will want a complete check on their condition.” The "postponement annoyed no one, except, possibly, reporters who wanted the show to go on. When the announcement was made in the crowded examination room, Louis just sat. Farr said: “I don’t care.

I'll fight him Sunday or T'll fight |

him Monday. It's just another fight.” Later Louis was induced to comment: “It's just another one of those things. I did it last year

against Schmeling.”

said the Welchman was three pounds over normal weight. “We won't make an attempt to reduce the weight, though,” he said. Farr is in splendid condition at 207 so why should we bother?” Dr. William Walker, commission physician, said the postponement would benefit Farr if it benefited either fighter, “because Louis is the more nervous.” “Farr,” he said, “is completely | apathetic and not the least nervous. | Louis is a bit nervous. He isn't the | same man he was two years ago.”
