HUDKINS GETS
JUDGES VOTE
Nebraska Wildcat De-
feats Baker With
Furious Attack

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-tPp-Ace
Hudkins has outmaneuvered Sammy
Baker in the scramble for the role
OF challenger in the welterweight di-
vision.
Through ten rounds OF torrid box
ing in Madison Square Garden last
night, Hudkins bombarded the one
time regular army sergeant with a
ceaseless two-fisted attack to carry
off a judges decision.
Baker dropped to the n twice
before the furious drives Of the Ne
braskan, taking. counts Of nine on
each occasion in the second and
sixth rounds.
In keeping with his reputation as
the wildcat Of pugilism, Hudkins rip
ped out with his customary slam
bang tactics without a letup which
frequently drew frenzied reprisals
from the outclassed but game Nit
chel Field boxer.
Hudkins floored his foe in the sec
ond round with q terrific right to
the Jaw and then bored in with
rights and lefts to the body and
head, giving Baker nc quarter. Dur
ing a savage mixup in the sixth.
Baker fell to the resin and protested
a foul which was not allowed by the
referee although the blow was ton
sidered low.
Baker arose at the count Of nine
and renewed the struggle, fighting
back desperately but not enough to
diminish the fury of the N~ebraskan's
rushes. Hudkins ran up against q
vicious right to the jaw in the eighth
| round which nearly proved his un-
| doing but he clinched and came back
with a harder assault.
Hudkins was given seven Of the
rounds while the rest went to Baker.

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 1s.-Unless
all Newark is way wrong, and New
ark will bet its bottom dollar it isn't,
one OF the winners in next summers
Olympic games at Amsterdam will be
little Kitty Donovan, fleet middle
distance stopper.
Middle-distance running may be a
new thing to American girl athletes,
but Catherine CHATS what her fam
lily calls herr appears 10 be a natural
leader in this division.

new American indoor record.
And then, in less than two weeks,
she set a new mark Of 1886 4-5 for
the distance, only onc-fifth secont
slower than the outdoor record for
the distance.
The American outdoor record Of 2
minutes, SO 3-5 seconds, made at
Eureka, CAL, last summer, isn't 50
very much faster, 50 one can gather
what speed Kitty can attain on the
indoor boards.
Kitty's running in the last few
months mas been little short Of
phenomenal. She now Is the favorite
in n field she may be pitted
against on this side Of the Atlantic.
In the Metropolitan indoor games
at Newark, Kitty followed up her
great work by winning the half-mile
handicap for women, setting a new
mark Of two minutes, 50 seconds.
She also clipped the sOO-meter
mark, the same night, one and three
fifths seconds.
In winning, Kitty defeated Eleanor
~Schoonaver, a teammate, who had
a thirty-yard handicap. Kitty started
from scratch. Mrs. Dorothy Wallac
the 21-year-old New York mother.
was third.
The half-mile handicap was the
first Of this distance eve held in
doors and, Of course, kitty's mark
becomes the first record for the race.
Kitty's S00-meter time Of 1886 40
(the new record, was made just
eleve% days after she made 2:3s 2-5

WH!TEHURST REJECTS
PLEA OF CONTRACTOR
Further Delay in Completion of
Chain Bridge Seen Because
of Lack of Lumber

Another long delay in completion of
Chain Bridge is foreseen by Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Herbert c..
Whitehurst, who hes general supervision
of the District bridge department.
Capt Whitehurst stated yesterday
that only one-half of the timber nee
essary for decking the bridge had been
received and that the timber contractor
was seeking an extension of time for
delivery of the rest because of storms
in the South, from where the timber
comes.
This request has been refused, White
hurst says, and all further delays will
be at the expense of the contractor,
who is now operating under liquidated
damages.
Whitehurst said he intends to lay the
timber he now has. and trust that the
remainder will arrive when that is done.
He is anxious to get the work done be-
fore January /, as ice coating on the
timber would be disastrous to it, he
contends.
