Giants Strong Contender in National Pennant Race

Ace Hudkins Favored Over Sammy Baker Odds on Nebraskan Drop When Wildcat Has Weight Trouble. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Aee Hudkins, wildcat of the West, tonight in Madison Square Garden will attempt to claw his way past Sergt. Sammy Baker, the Army aviator, and on to a title bout with the welterweight champion, Joe Dundee. The odds of 8 to 5 on Hudkins dropped today when it became known he had difficulty in making the 147-pound weight limit. The Nebraskan had to take off almost two pounds in the last few hours. If Hudkins has his strength tonight he is the logical favorite to win, but he may not have enough stamina to fight through ten rounds at top-notch speed. Baker had no difficulty in making the weight and apparently was in splendid physical shape. The Sergeant stopped Hudkins once before and he may be able to send Ace into a nose-dive again. Baker was awarded a technical knockout in the seventh round when the Nebraska Wildcat received a deep cut over his eye and the referee had to stop the bout. In a second bout in California, Hudkins reversed the decision by defeating Baker after he had him on the floor twice for counts of nine each. Hudkins was on the floor once himself.

Absence of Hornsby May Hurt Club; Cohen Is Probable Choice to Fill Second Base Post; Huge Staff of Pitchers Seek Jobs. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—The New York Giants will make their bid for the National League pennant this season minus Rogers Hornsby, who batted'votil last year and drove in 125 runs. Surely a team which finished third in 1927 and was a dangerous contender almost until the last few days of the campaign ought to be one of the favorites for 1928, but it was Hornsby—the man who’s gone—that spurred the Giants on

with his aggressive spirit and deadly bat in their last wild dash which almost carried them past the Pirats and Cardinals. Hornsby was traded to the Braves “for the good of the team,” as President Stoneham maintains, but it may develop that Hornsby's absence will hurt more than his presence ever did. Need Heavy Swatter Andy Cohen, the Hebrew stripling who performed sensationally for Buffalo, may All the gap in the defense at second base, but there is no one in sight who can bat .361 and drive in 125 runs. The main squad of Giants will assemble at their new training camp, Augusta, Ga., March 1. Twenty-three new players are on the Giants’ roster. Forgetting Hornsby, the other three-quarters of the Giants’ infield looks to be about a sweet combination as any manager could wish for. Bill Terry at first, Travis Jackson at short, and Freddy Lindstrom at third, are all capable, if not great ball players. Reese In Reserve McGraw banks on Cohen to play second. AHdy batted .353 at Buffalo and proved an all-around star. Andy Reese, the youngster who subbed at third for Lindstrom last season, may be shifted to second if Cohen proves a failure. The outfield prospects are good. Ed Roush is almost certain to play center and George Harper right. Lefty O'Doul, the most valuable player in the Pacific Coast League, and Welsh are apt to fight it out for the left field berth. O'Doul hit .378 with San Francisco last year, and Welsh hit .287 with the Braves. Melvin Ott, a youngster who was with the Giants last year, and Art Jahn, who was with Los Angeles last year and formerly with the Cubs, may offer strong bids for a regular outfield berth. Large Battery Staff Hogan, the husky kid from the Braves, Jack Cummings and Zack Taylor are expected to form the catching staff. Cummings and Taylor were with the club last season. The Giants have a huge squad of pitchers who will try for berths. Virgil Barnes. Fred Fitzsimmons,

Larry Benton and Dutch Henry are the veterans who are back. Benton led the league in games won and lost last season with 15 victories and 4 defeats. In a last minute effort to strengthen his pitching staff McGraw traded Burleigh Grimes to the Pirates for Vic Aldridge. Both are veteran right-handers, but McGraw counts on Aldridge, a great spring pitcher, to help his club get away to a flying start. Three of the best pitchers in the International League last season figure prominently in McGraw’s plans for his pitching staff. They are Jim Faulkner, a tall left hander who won 21 games and lost 10 for Toronto; Jess Doyle, who won 14 and lost 10 for Toronto, and Leo Mangum, who won 21 and lost 7 for Buffalo. 26-Round Fistic Bill on Tonight Six bouts, calling for a total of twenty-six rounds, make up the boxing offering to be staged by the Belle Vieu A.
