HUDKINS AND WALKER READY FOR TITLE BOUT Two Fighters Will Meet At Wrigley Field Tonight For World Title Ixis Angelas, Oct. 29.—(U.R) Fight ftnthusiastn was at a high pitch in Los Angeles as two of the toughest warriors in the ring game prepared to battle in Wrigley field tonight for th;> middleweight title of the worlcL Some time before 10 p. m. —th "limit under the California law for starting a main event —Pan Tobey, the veteran announcer, will step* to the middle of an outdoor arena befor--20.000 spectators and shrill in his siren voice: "In this corner, Mickey Walker — the champion of the world." After .the stock bulldog from NewJersey has taken his Imw and his cheers. Pan will hold up his hands for silence—then shrill again: "And in this corner. Ace Hudkins — Nebraska wildcat and challenger for the title.’’ Not since Billy Papke knocked out Stanley Ketchel 20 years ago last Labor day to win the middleweight ti'le has Los Angeles been so worked up about a prize fight. Betting was about even but thee were indications that the odds will favor Walker by a slim margin at het! time. followers of the champion maintain Mickey has two big advantages in his favor. They say he can hit harder than the challenger and that he can duck a punch once in a while. r I Hudkins, a plowing, mauling type of fighter, goes in swinging wildly and has relied largely in his bruising and constant hammering to gain decisions. His backers point out, however, 1 that the Ace has a few tricks that j Walker will see tonight. Clyde and Art Hudkins. brothers and managers of the wildcat, have . taken the greatest pair.s to put Ace I over. They got special permission 11 from the California commission to second the Nebraskan and supervised a long training period in which Billy Papke played an important part. The wily old ex-champ was galled in to coach Ace on some of the fine points. The brothers recalled that t Papke beat Ketcbell by ducking the , latter’s damaging right. One of Walk- 4 er’s most damaging punches is sim- t ilar. , Both fighters, it was indicated, will ( we'gh in easily under the 160-pound limit today. Hudkins scaled 153% ( yesterday and Walker’s trainer, Teddy t Hayes, said the champion scaled 159. f o < t MEASUREMENTS t . , Los Angeles. Oct. 29.—(U.R) —Meas- { tirements of Mickey Walker, middle- t weight champion and Ace Hudkins, challenger, who fight 10 rounds at ] Wrigley tied tonight were announced j at their respective headquarters to- f day as follows: < Walker Hudkina ] 159 Weight 156% < 28 Age 24 < 67 Reach 71 (T-ft. 7-in.

Wabash faces Manchester here Friday night in the third tilt of the season under artificial glow. Lafayette, Ind. —Coach Phelan is concentrating his attention upon the task of filling the wing position left vacant by Ed Caraway’s injuries I against Chicago last week, realizing that upon that point depends much in the tilt with Wisconsin Saturday. Caraway suffered a broken collar bone in the Chicago game, and his loss may be felt keenly against the strong Badger eleven. Bill Woerner will probably start at the wing, but his 155 pounds may not stand up for a tough game, and strong reserves are needed. Bloomington, Ind. — Lively scrimmages were on the bill of fare for the Hoosiers today, after a rest from the Ohio State battle last Saturday. Only three practices were on the slate this week in preparation for the journey to Minneapolis to meet Minnesota next Saturday. Greencastle, Ind. —Stamina was the

keynote of practice on the. Del’auw gridiron Monday, as the team wa.« yhlpped into shape for the game here Saturday with Butler. Many of Coach Bish Hughes' best players were still swathed in bandages, and his outlook for a likely i chance Io trounce the Bulldogs wasn't encouraging. * Day and night practice were promised during the week. MONMOUTH WINS FROM KIRKLAND Monmouth Eagles baseball team went into a tie for first piece in the Adams county high scStool standing Monday afternoon by defea ing Kirkland high school diamondin' n at the Monmouth athletic field. 15-13. The game had been jwstponed because of inclement weather during the season. Monmouth and Monroe, co-comp.in ions, will play a three gime series for ihe county championship in Decatur some time next week, it was announceed today. The exact da es will he released later this week. Monday's game was filled with spec tacular base running and several er rors, due largely to the cold weather The Monmouth team was never in great danger after the first inning, and never relinquished the lead. H. Lytle. Monmouth first baseman | knocked out the longest hit of the I game, going for three bases. For Monmouth Coach Haggard used H. Lytle. Parrish, Fuelling. Fleming, Stultz. Franz. Bittner. D. Lytle, and Fuhrman. Coach Bill Bryan sent the following men in for Kirkland: Helmrich. McKean. Dettinger. Geisel, Hoffman. Borne. Martin. Zimmerman, and Beery. .Monmouth scored in every inning hut the fourth and seventh and Kirkland scored in all but the second and fourth innings. The final league sanding is: M L Monroe 3 1 Monmouth . 3 1 Hartford 2 2 Pleasant Mills 1 3 Kirkland 13 o BUSH PREPARES FOR NEW YORK Chicago. Oct. 29 —(UP) —Conie Bush the scrapping one who recently was appoin’ed manager of the Chicago White Sox will be coming to town this week ' to take over that new job which ap- : pears to have anything but rosy p:os-i peds. Donie's first work will be a confer- i ence with owner Charles Comiskay, the old Roman, who after a spell of! sickness has regained enough of his health to get back into harness. There! are many problems to be considered I but one which right now has the inter-! est of the fans centers around the gieat Art Shires. The fans are wondering what 1 Donie's attitude will will be toward Art, who was indefinitely suspended shortly before the season closed because he blacked the eyes of Lena Blackburne, then pilot of the White Sox. Art had done that once before during the season. Whether Donie will elect to keep Shires, who really is a good ball player or dispose of him is being discussed'.

After next Monday Footbawls will be discontinued and after a few days’ breathing spell "BASKETBAWLS" will take its place in the sport section of the Daily Democrat. Smon Schwartz of the Berne Review has notified us that his paper will have a column this year devoted to basketball—Simon usually does a good job of anything he starts, so we're looking forward to. seeing his column. —oOo — Ed Liechty of the Berne Wit ness also conducts a column annually, and we're watching each issue for his first outburst, which always is worth reading. —oOo — In fact, one by one, sport writers all over northern Indiana are tasting the early fruit of basketball and are Itching for the season to break wide

open about the last of November. Say, Yellow Jackets, let’s beat Garrett. Friday, and colse the football season in a victorious manner. —oOo—“Crowds" in the Huntington HeraldPress, who has been absolutely neutral in the Decatur-Bluffton argument all fall couldn't help commenting slightly on the referee at the DecaturWest Suburb game last Friday. “Crowds" says Bauer never received a bouquet after working a Huntington game — and we might add. “Crowds", that maybe some day he might get a bouquet and never smell or see it. —oOo— AND WE STILL FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT AN OFFICIAL SHOULD CARRY OR HAVE ACCESS TO A RULE BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ANY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENT. And we're wondering about the safety which Bluffton scored Fridav. Referee Bauer blew his whistle before any player had touched the ball after it was blocked. If a Bluffton man had fallen on the ball —would it have been a touchdown, or what? It looks as if—well, we don’t know wha' rules were made for anyway. —oOO—- ' With winter just around the corner — Adams county baseball teams finished the season yester- , day afternoon and now it will be necessary for a play-off series to • settle the title dispute. Monroe and Monmouth are tied for leadership in the county conference. —oOo— A three-game series will be played here some time next week—and it promises to be a real battle. Monmouth is the only team which has won from Monmouth for a long time —and the Eagles will try and dupli•ate their feat next week.

Huntington and Bluffton still have a football game on their program and we'd sure like to see the tussel between those two teams. Huntington is fresh from a win over Warsaw, its first of the year and the Tigers just ■ recently won a game from Decatur. —Good luck to both teams—and say Huntington. you'd better reconsider your withdrawal from the N. E. I. fonterence, We hate to lose you. —oOo— The Hartford City News has blossomed out with a basketball column —“Hittin’ 'Em and Missin’ ’Em.” The column is devoted entirely to promoting Hartford City high school basketball —and indications are that the writer of the H. C. column will have plenty to sing about before the season is over—Hartford City usually has a good basketbal Iteam. — 000— AND NOW. YELLOW JACKETS—BEAT GARRETT. —oOo — o S I D E I IN E S~ • aj.Ri ♦ Chicago, Oct. 29.— (U.R) —Chicago’s tackles were given a severe lecture by Coach Stagg yesterday for their failure to follow instructions relative to a technique designed to halt the favorite plays of Harmeson and Welch at Purdue last Satuiday. Chicago . will play Princeton this week end and due to the fact that there is a no--1 scouting agreement between the ! schools, it is expected Stagg will concentrate on old plays rather than tryng to develop new ones. Northwestern. 111. — Northwestern's football squad went through secret practice yesterday in preparation for .the Illinois game this week. It was understood offensive work was concentrated upon behind the closed gates.
