To whom il may concern: This
lis to certify that Ernest +. Hudson
has been employed by this company
FOR "A little over two years as steward
az the Detroit Field Offices. We
have always found him very re-
liable and willing worker and he has
lost no time on account illness, and
have no hesitancy in recommend
ine him TO anyone who can emplo~
him in a similar capacity or for
any SORT of work for which he is
.capa ole
This letter signed by an official of
the Detroit River Tunnel company
gives proof that if Tommy Hudson
cannot be champion bantamweight
he can be a good cook
And after the Knockout that
champion johnny Coulon handed
Tommy in the ffth round OF their
battle al Windsor last night. it does
look that as a bantamweight con-
tcndec. Hudson is a great little
baker
However. Tommy,s defeat by Cou-
Ion last night. carries with it com
paratively little sting. As Hudson
said both before and after the battle,
Its no disgrace to be beaten by a
champion.
The bout last nislrt proved con
clusiyely that Hudson is as yet no
where near Coulon class. Tommy
trained for speed and aggressiveness
but he appeared slow beside Coulon
