with Ace Hudkins at Wriglcy field

cult, but believes in keeping both
eyes on the task before him.
The soldier welterweight i'll his
gymnasium workouts here has con

he is a master ringman, and that
his recent victories over Hudkins
and Mushy Callahan, junior welter-
weight, were anything but flukes.
Bakers unscarred body is not
that of battler that has endured
withering punishment His chest,
not given to large expansion, indi-
Gates perfect breathing. A pair of
sturdy shoulders with well balanced
arms and a stocky head, set off
the fighting machine, carried on
supple legs.
Through brisk rounds of sparring
with a varied assortment of stable
mates Baker set the pace, refusing
to coast through frequently bring
ing damaging punches up short.
At no time in his workouts does
the sergeant take his eyes off his
rival. Efforts to force him to duck
his head and windmill his punches
have been unavailing.
His optics do "eyes right y and
"cves 'front.' with military precis-
ion. and once they note an opening
straight, staggering punch is sent
over to vulnerable spot by the
sharpshooting soldier.
When the writer talked with
Baker he told of having seen him

wears ago.
