NEW YORK, JAN 20 H9-Ace Hud-

ing ten-round bout from Lew Tender,
Philadelphia southpaw veteran, in the
main go tonight at Madsino Square

through the last three rounds with
difficulty after taking count of eight
in the seventh. Hudkins scales 149A
pounds, Tender 151
Slightly more than 1000 fans saw
the Pennsylvania veteran, who fought
10 years ago as a lightweight and
twice met Benny Leonard in sensa-
tional title encounters, attempt to stop
the young and rugged Hudkins with
left hand Smashes to the head and
body. Hendler was pudgy and slow at
the weight and the blonde weSterner
appeared content to maui without seri-
Gus intent in the final rounds.
The battle was constant series Of
close range exchanges with both men
playing to the body. Tender weaken
ed badly after holding the Ace even
right hook to the body floored the
veteran in the seventh.
From that point on, Tender barely
evaded Knockout by clinging tight 70
Hudkins whenever possible. Occasion
ally Lev dug the once mighty left into
the Nebraskan's body and slowed him
temporarily.
BY his victory, Hudkins earned a
return match with Sammy Baker, the
soldier battler, who scored a technical
knockout over him last summer. The
winner of the Hudkins-Bak go prob
ably will be matched with Joe Dundee,
champion of the welterweights, in a

GERMAN

IN u. S. RACES

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 P)-The pros
poets that DR.. Otto Peltzer, famous
German runner, would be permitted to
engage in three races in the United
States this winter and possibly meet
the American ace, Lloyd Hahn, APP
peaTed remote tonight after two of the
six members of the foreign relations
committee of the Amateur Athletic
union put themselves ON record as OPP
posed to sanctioning any appearance
by the Teuton star.
Although German authorities had
withdrawn their previous objections to
Peltzer's engaging in competition here,
it appeared likely the A. A. u would
take the position that the Olympic
year was not the proper time to Stimu-
late special activity by visiting attn
letcs. Furthermore, ii is the desire of
authorities to avoid the possibility
this year, Of any repetition
of unpleasant experiences accompany
ing the appearances of such stars as
Charley Hoff and Paavo Nurni in re-
cent seasons.
Final decision is not expected for
several days, but 1t will take approving
votes by all four remaining members
of the foreign relations committee to-
permit Peltzer to- run here or else
where. The two negative votes SO far
recorded are by James B. MacCabe Of

swamped their opponents, the Nogales,

of themselves throughout the game

The entire team made a fairly cred

he was when the boys were singing
the chorus about the long count.

Rickard up and admitted few
days ago that he didn't expect much
more than million ana a half
frOm the customers if Dempsey was
thrown in again with Tunncy.
TEX MUST STEP NOW
His figure was based on the best
scale of prices that could be set
for the Yankee stadium in New York
and it seems certain that he has
picked the home of the American
league champions for one of the
bouts.
He offered the opinion at the
same time that the bout wouldn't
draw any more in Philadelphia or
Chicago even though more customers
could be entertained.
7 Rickard will have to be prepared
to tell Tunney the name of his
man on the very hour named in their
contract if Tunney is serious in his
claim that he will hold the promoter
to every punctuation mark in the
agreement.
One of Tunney's complaints is that
he allowed Rickard to pass months
over the day he was to have named
his opponent last year and that he
didn't get any credit or consideration
from Rickard for having been good
fellow.
If Tunney really is looking for
an out on the contract, he can have

TEX And TUNNEY
In AGREEMENT
ON 1928 FIGHTS

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. 20 R--
Tex Rickard and Gene Tunney AL
ready understand each other" and
there is little prospect OF an import
ant agreement relatiye to the heavy
weight title fight prospects for 1928
during the promoters stay here, he
declared tonight,
Although newspaper reports herald
ed Richards trip here as being the
final step in completing the promot-
ers trip here as being the final step
in completing the promoters recently
announced plans to match the cham
pion and Jack Dempsey for title
fight in June or July, Rickard de-
clared that his visit was for a "rest," !"
and that he's didn't want to see a
boxing glove orSeyen talk about one. =
He declined to reveal his plans but
it was considered probable that his
tentative selection recently of Jack
Dempsey as the logical man for the
next match WITH Tunney, and next
June or July as the date would form
the basis of the opening negotiations
Tunney publicly expressed pleasure
at the prospect when Richards an
nouncefneYlt. was made, but it was
emphasized that the selection was
not final and the matter of terms
still must be agreed upon before any
signing on the dotted line takes
place.
Tunney has been undergoing light
training on the links and in the
surf here for several weeks.

DELANEY BEATS
BELGIAN CHAMP;
TECHNICAL K. 0.

BOSTON, Jan. 20 R-Jack De-
laney of Bridgeport, Conn, scored a
technical knockout over Jack Hum
beck, Belgian heavyweight champion,
here tonight when the referee stop
ped the bout in the sixth round to
spare the Belgian further punishment.
Humbeck's left eye was completely
closed and with the right fast clos
ing. Delaney weighed 178 pounds as
against Humbeck's 1879.
In the fifth round Humbeck began
to feel the full weight of Delaney's
attack. In this round, Delaney closed
Humbeck's left eye with series of
stinging left jabs and knocked him
down with right smash to the jaw
for count Of eight.
Throughout the match, Delaney
scored almost at will with his left
jab and right uppercut Humbeck
proved dangerous at all times, how
ever, with a swing left and a swing
ing right which caused Delaney to
treat his opponent with respect.
Although Humbecks heavy swings
often found their marks on Delaney,
trickle of blood from Delaney's
nose indicated the extent of the
damage they could inflict.
AL Walker of New Haven won on
a foul in the second round over
Jeff Clark of Florida in the four
round preliminary.

NO EXCUSE FOR HEENEY

Since the unsatisfactory result of
the first big number of his heavy
weight elimination tournament be-
tween Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney,
the public may be inclined to figure
Tex Rickard in a tight place as the
time rapidly approaches for him to
get two opponents for Gene Tunney's
summer campaign
Sharkey and Heeney were the two
best cards in the rather mediocre
herd of heavyweights that Rickard
had to choose from, and if the bout
had ended with either ore O de-
cisive winner the difficulties of the
promoter would have been reduced
some, at least.
The form however, shown by the
principals i'll what was to have been
the star number of the eliminations
made. the customers present feel that
neither one will do as a part of a
record breaking attraction.
For Sharkey, however. there may
be good excuse. He had been
out Of the ring for a long time and
had not fought since he was pumped
in the tlnnmy by Jack Dempsey and
it is reasonable TO believe that if
he had had a fight under his belt
he would have made a better fight
But for Heeney there is no excuse.
His possibilities are limited only
to 20 rounds, where his stamina
might enable him to Outlast any
of the heavyweights, but the present
vogue for championship fights is
just half that distance and ne can't
get started in ten rounds.
TO WORK ON SHARKEY
Rickard probably viii toss Heeney
aside now with Pauline for use only
in an emergency and he probably
will work on Sharkey to build him
back again to the place ne occupied
last year.
Sharkey, without doubt, has more
color and would be a better drawing
card than any of the other contend
ers, with the exception of Dempsey.
and Rickard will have to have two
challengers if he ; is to ob1ige the
champions demand for a pair of
fights.
If Rickard seriously intends to give
Dempsey the right of way into a
third bout with Tunney, the draw
decision of the Sharkey- -Heeney bout
and the poor form shown by them
