SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 6.-Phleg-
matte Freddie Hutchinson. 1895
most publicized major league rookie
pitcher, who likes his base hits as
we'll as his shutouts, isn't worrying
about the 1910 baseball campaign.
The 2O-year-old Detroit Tiger
right-hander sizes it up this way:
IF you've got it, you've got it.
If you haven't-well, that's that"
Sold to the Tigers by Seattle OF
the Pacific Coast League for a re-
ported 100000 in cash and players,
the young pitcher, only a year out
of high school, was under tremen-
dous pressure from the time he
went to training camp last spring.
Hutch didn't fare so well in his
training trials and he was benched
during the early weeks. Finally he
was sent in while Detroit was taking
a merciless lacing from Yankee bats.
The Yanks had a hot streak and
Hutch couldn't cool it. He was sent
to the showers and-within two
days-to Toledo, tail-end club of
the American Association.
With the Mudhens Hutchinson
won nine and lost nine. He was
seldom derricked. Tiger instruS-
tions being that he should be left
In for the distance to regain the
poise, confidence and control he lost
after a sensational season in the
Coast League.
In late season he was recalled
and won three and lost six with
Detroit. He refutes stories the
Tigers tried to change his pitching
style.
IF anybody changed it, it must
have been myself. Nobody else did.

Former Middle Stor's
Punch Gets Victory
Over Bettinu
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Fred Apos-
toll, heavier and slower than he
once was, but a more deadly punch
er, is back in pugilism's top drawer
today, a menace to the 175-pound
division.
The San Francisco star, knocked
loose from his middleweight crown
by Ceferino Garcia and widely re-
garded as washed up," returned to
Madison Square Garden last night
to win a gruelling 12-round decision
over Melio Bettina of Beacon, N. Y,
former Hght-heavy king.
The battle was so close big por-
ton Of the crowd of 7,707 roundly
hooted the verdict. The referee and
one Judge voted for Apostoli. The
other judge gave Bettina the nod.
The Associated Press score sheets
had them dead even.
Both Score Knockdowns.
Toward the last, both fighters
were almost too tired to lift their
sodden gloves. Blood flowed from a
deep cut on Bettina's lip, smearing
the exhausted pair with crimson
and even tinting Referee Johnny
McAvoy's bald dome.
Bettina, southpaw. knocked
Apostoh down in each of the first
three rounds for counts of nothing
eight and nine. Apostoli, throwing
his right like a sledge hammer, half
knocked. half pushed Bettina down
for nine in the tenth chapter
Neither was near staying on the
floor.
Apostoli. who gained his first fame
as trim middleweight, appeared
almost fat at 16934 pounds.
Bettina Lacks Punch.
Bettina, at 174, was the faster and
landed more blows. They lacked the
authority of his rivals. however.
Despite Apostoli's victory, it is ex-
tremely doubtful that Promoter
Mike Jacobs will give him another
shot at Billy Conn, 175-pound title
holder. Billy has knocked Fred's
ears back twice.
| Uncle Mike is looking forward to
the day, possibly within a year,
when Conn quits the nght-heavies
and goes after Joe Louis. There will
be time enough then for Apostoli to
cash in on his new, improved right.
