PROSPECT
New Boxing Sensation Strikes
Pacific Coast 40
Hopeful

LOS ANGELES, April 29.--Ace
Hudkins, lightweight, is the boxing
sensation Of the Pacific Coast.
Three months ago Hudkins ar
rived here from Nebraska prairies,
unknown and unsung.
He tried to get bout to show
his stock in. trade but promoters
were not interested.
Finally Tom Kennedy, then
matchmaker at Hollywood Ameri-
can Legion Stadium, saw Hudkins
box.
Kennedy took hold of the Ne
braskan and today Hudkins drives
an expensive motor car, owns a
Hollywood residence and holds the
Pacific Coast lightweight title.
& Further, he has been promised a
world title bout in Los Angeles as
soon as the New York lightweight
elimination contest is over and a
wearer for Benny Leonard's desert
ed crown is selected.
Hudkins won the Coast title re-
Gently when he defeated Joe Ben
jan1in, the Stockton, Cal, fighter,
protege of Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight champion. Previously the
Nebraska wildcat" has won from
Tommy Carter, Los Angeles claim
ant of the title and holder of the
Hollywood Stadium lightweight
elimination contest belt. Other
notable victories in Hudkins' Coast
record include a decision over Spug
Myers, the sensational Pocatello,
Idaho. lightweight.
Hudkins is only nineteen years
old, but has fought more than fifty
bouts, winning big majority of
them. He has never been extended
In any of his contests in California.
The Nebraskan's style has scored
heavily with Coast fans. He is one
of those fighters who bores in con-
stantly and, like Battling Nelson
and Terry McGovern of the old
days. boxes almost without defense.
He is always willing to take two
blows to put over one with his
terrible right hand.
Los Angeles promoters have ten
tatively signed Hudtins for bouts
with Sid ferris and Sammy Man
dell, star New York performers, to
be staged here this summer.

7 ONY PLANSKY.
MAY DIE A
CHAMP
DecathIon to Be Discarded in
Favor of Less Strenuous
Games
lNoooR SPORTS
BY ROSS L. COKLIN.

Tony Plansky, the Polish irpmi-
grant boy who swept into national
prominence when he won the de-
cathlon competition of the Penn
relays, the grand prix de luxe of
track affairs, will probably be the
decathlon champion years after he
is unable to hurl javelin or put the
shot. The decathlon, it would
seem, will be supplanted in the
Penn games by the less strenuous
penthalon next year, and will for
that reason pass out of the pic
ture, leaving the talkative Tony in
sole charge.
The penthalon, with It's five
events would attract a far larger
group of candidates that did the
ten event decathlon. Many schools
have young men who could and
probably would compete in the
pentathlon, but the decathlon drew
only seven starters, and Washing
ton had three in Plansky. Elmer
son Norton and Bill Supplee of the
Maryland University.
The highly intricate system of
scoring in the decathlon is another
reason for it's taboo. The scoring

points. For every unit of measure
that he is below or above that
figure his score is changed. so that
it is frequently an hour after the
event before the score is known.
Scores of Plansky in the decathlon
are: 72S.166; 606.2O3. Imagine the
difficulty of taking ten such scores
from a field of twenty and trying
to find out who is leading the
field.
In a pentathlon Plansky would
not be likely to win. His chief
forte is in four of the added five
events that are brought into the
decathlon. Barring them is the
same as Gripping the Poe.
Under the old system of scoring
in the decathlon. Plansky might
not have been winner But. under
a different scoring he might have
had different results in his events.

big Six" Idol Of Giant Fans
of Yesteryears, Resumes
Fight Against MaIady

NEW YORK, April 20. Christyr
Mathewson is up at Saranac Lake
again, where he fought winning
battle for his life against the raw
ages of tuberculosis. At the time
of the Ebbets funeral week ago
he was the only manager in the
National League who was not
present. At the time it was said
he was suffering from a cold and
had gone there to recuperate. There
were suspicious that it was recur-
renee of the old trouble which had
sent him back into the mountains.
According to Phil. and Phil says
he spells his name just like that
which a pair of labials, Christy Is
in first-class shape and took the
trip to Saranac, where he makes
his home now, to see the family.
There is no question in my
mind" said Phil last night, but
that Matty will be with the Braves
on Monday in Boston. You know
he has been down South all winter
and got tired of too much sunshine
and too many alligators and had q
ven to get back to the old fireside
and visit with the folks. His plans
were to join the team after the
Philadelphia series.
''He looks pretty good to me, y
said Troy, and / think there is no
reason to believe that he is slated
for the bench just yet"
In spite of these reassuring
words, there are many of his old
admirers who have been worried at
his taking the trip back in the
North woods.

Pinch Of Sand Soon
To Be Obsolete
For Tee

By the way linksmen OF in
ventive turn of mind are apply
ing for patents for golf tees it
looks as though the belief had
become general that the old
fashioned practice of taking a
pinch of sand is soon to become
obsolete. According to a man
in the trade new ideas are be-
ing heard of nearly every day.
most of the substitutes consist
ing of paper or wood.
Robert Pryde, of New Haven
not so long ago thought he had
hit upon just the right thing
for a tee, but after he applied
to Washington for patent he
discovered that there were some
thing like It's others feeling the
same way.
