HUDKINS Guns
FOR WALKER

1t wouldn't be enough to say that
Ace Hudkins .outpunched and out
fought Rene De Nos. the Belgian
middleweight contender, last night.
He also out.struggied him. which
is more important because it hap
pens to tell the story.
Rene, the Fox. they call this
Belgian who is managed and
operated from the depths of the
social register. He was so smart
last night that Hudkins spent eight
of the 10 rounds. making him fight
his way.
De Vos was to S in the betting
before they started. He was 10
100 when they finished, which was
none too soon, either; maybe he
didn't have enough but. il he didn't.
that was his mistake, Hudkins won
by five rounds to three with two
even. He thus qualified for an
other title shot with Mickey
Walker and perhaps this time they
won't be able TO pull the decision
out OF a brown derby.

writer published a book entitled,
"Maxims and Methods Of Pittsburgh
Phil" Here, in part, were put
down the truths which Phil had
discovered from long years of ex.
perience. Some OF them are par
tieularly interesting:
"A good horse and a. good Jockey
make a good bet," he said. "A poor
jockey and a good horse, a poor
BET; a moderate jockey and a mod
crate horse, a. moderate bet"
Here are some others:
"A man who plays the races
