HOLLYWOOD, June Ace Hud-
kins, Nebraska lightweight, wrote
the pugilistic epitaph Of Phil Saliva
dor, Pomona, when he knocked him
out in the eighth round here last
night.
oor old Phil was the "pitchcr
that went to the we'll once too Of
ten. After taking on the best boys
i'll the lightweight class and frc-
qucntly beating them, Salvador met
his nemesis in the form Of the Ne
braska "'wildcat.
Early in the bout is was to be
seen Hudkins would win. He pound
ed Salvador S body until the latter
could hardly stand. Salvador was Il
pitiful sight when his manager,
charlie Mcdonald, threw in a towel
to save the former Pacific coast
! lightweight champion from further
punishment.
Hudkins' inccssant pounding clos
cd both Salvador s eyes, cut his lips
and his body looked like boiled beef.
The game little Italian stood up un-
der his punishment. Hudkins could
not floor him. His cause was hope
less, but he peered through fast clos
ing cvchds, counter punching at the
rugged, slashing ace.
Salvador may not be through, but
another beating such as he received
last night, would finish long and
honorable career that deserves Il
filter ending.
Johnny Grclla knocked down Billy
Lane twice and won a six round de
cision in an exciting bout. Outside"
! the knockdowns, lane had the best
of the going.
