No matter how high . man may 70 in his chosen racket. 1t seems natural for him to muse on what he might have accomplished in some other field. So 1t is with sports.
 Acc Hudkins, uncrowned middle- weight champion. feels sure he could have been . big success on tho diamond as he is in the ring. At every opportunity the Ace pulls on 8 fielding init and indulges in the game he really enjoys. With his natural speed and quick eys, who can say Hudkins is kidding himself !? Many baseball bugs remember tho year Joe stecher. former heavy- weight wrestling champion Of the world. was on the roster of the Philadelphia Nationals as . first baseman.
 Joe at one time played good ball in the Western league and while he didn't stick with tho Phils. 1t was due to tho more important money that beckoned from the mat. A champion wrestler can pick up around Sl00.oo0 . year. while 1t takes . Babe Ruth to drag down that sum in baseball.
 Pete 1.atso. who grabbed the wei- , terweight crown from Mickey Walker, turned down baseball offers for the big dough of the ring, while Willie Hoppe and Walter Hagen look on with envy every time they take in . ball game.
 Of course there is such . thing as going too far as in the case of Mickey Walker. Who ever has heard the toy bulldog" attempt to warble will agree he is a whale of a boxer.
