'NEW YORK. Inn. 21. Ace Hudkins has advanced in his quest for the welterweight crown today with n I O-round victory over the veteran Lew lendler of Philadelphia, ring marvel of ft rmst decade. Meetinir in the Madison Square Garden arena last night, Hudkins gave Tendler a second thrashing but failed to score a " knockout. However, the Nebraskan had Tendler on the verge of reclining for the full count on several occasions. Hudkins rocked Tendler with a right to the jaw in the seventh round for a count of eight but the Philadelphian arose and managed to hold on. Ace ripped a savage left to the head in the ninth that nearly pitched Tendler thru the ropes, left Lew staggered and was sinking slowly under his opponent's hard punches when the gong came to his rescue. When tlie ninth terminated, Tendler groggily made for a neutral corttsr under the belief that it was his own. The tenth round Tendler wearily defended himself against a merci less hail of blows from his youthful rival. Although the old timer was noticeably outclassed, some 12,000 fans booed the judges' verdict and Hudkins while the venerable Tendler, who has been boxing for more than a doen years, received the applause. Less than a year ago Tendler lost a decision to Hudkins in Los Angeles. The Nebrnskan's victory last night moved him into an elimination tussle against Sergt.int Sammy Baker to de termine who will challenge Joe Dundee for the welterweight championship in March. The Buker-Hudkins bout is down for February I 7, at the garden. Hudkins weighed I49J and Tendler 1 5 1 pounds. lly ALAN J. (iOULD (Associated I'ress Sports Editor) MOW y.OKK, Jan. 21. Just when It seemed that peace and harmony hail been restored to Olympic ranks, something of a spirit of Insurrection has broken out. The new Olympic year, after starting off Willi u burlal-of-llle- hatchet ceremony by sports gov erning organizations, already has: developed three separate and dis tinct controversies over team selection. The disputes have urlsen over choice of speed, skating, hockey and lacrosse teams. This team se lection subject always has been packed with dynamite, because of the conflicting Interests involved, but It appears to bo prompting moro open debate than usual. If necesHary Major-Genernl Douglas MacArthur, president of tho American Olympic committee, Is prepared to wield the big stick to settle matters. In fact the gen-' ernl already has taken an active hnnd in two or three subjects of controversy. Ho has, in effect, re buked William S. Haddock, of I'lllsburgh, chairman of the Olym pic hockey committee, for falling to hold try-outs for an Olympic hockey team and, Instead, select ing tho Augsburg College team, of Minneapolis, for tho trip. Al though ho did not act alone ill this matter, , Major-Ocneral Mac Arthur made tho final decision against upprovlng the Augsburg team's selection, taking Haddock to task at tho sumo time. In Lacrosse, whero two groups aro at loggerheads over the meth od or selecting the Olympic team, tho general has stepped in with tho suggestion that nil all-stnr team bo pitied against the inter collegiate chr.mpions to determine which is better equipped to wear tho American shield at Amster dam. . Olympic officials may not have considered (he value of his mill' tai-y experience in selecting Ma- jiir-Clenernl McAi'thur to succeed tho lute "Dili" I'rout, but his knowledge of campaign tactics ap pears to como in handy. (AmocUUJ PrtM Leed Wire) CHICAGO, Jan. 21. There Is a logical foundation for the feeling, said President B. S. Itarnurd of the American .league today, that the championship race of 1928 will be the most hotly contested the league has experienced In many years. Reviewing the 11128 proRpects, club by club, President Barnard said: "Ileplnnlng at the bottom of the 11127 percentage table, we find that the Huston Ited Sox will be better than last year, both because of material added and because of the increased experience of sev eral brilliant youngsters. "The Ht. I.ouls Drowns will bo almost an entirely new club In 1U28. "The Drowns have sent several good players to other clubs but Manager Ilowley also has secured some good men In these ex changes. I'layers like Dine, Ma nush and McNeely would help al most nny major league club. If the pitching staff measures up tho Ilrowns will bo a much better club than lust season. "Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Wnshlnston and Philadelphia all have added strength to their 1927 organizations. The Indians Buf fered last year because Uhle, I.ev- sen and Smith failed to do what was expected of them. Hoth Uhle and Levson will he back In form this veur und In addition the In dlnns have moro reserve pitching strength than a year ugo. "With tho addition of young Clssell, the return of Johnny Mos- of several promising young pitch ers and outfielders, the Whlto Sox should be alii" to avoid the slump that has taken that club out or the race during the past two sea sons after brilliant starts both years. "The Detroit club has strength ened Its defense without sacrific ing speed or punch and, if Man ager Moriarlty can get his Tigers away to a better start than has characterized the early seasen work of that club In recent years, Detroit ought to cause the Yank ees some sleepless nights next summer." "President Griffith and Manager Harris have been carrying on an Intensive campaign for u new pitching staff for the past two years and their efrorts have been crowned' with such success that the Washington club will enter the 1928 race with as good, If not the best, stuff of hurlers In the American league. "By getting rid of a number of veterans, the return of Hnuser to form and the addition of several fust youngsters, the Athletics have been speeded up without the loss of any defensive strengtll Connie Mack has a good chance to get the pitching in 1928 that he expected, but failed to get last season, and that 1b all he needs to keep the Athletics in tho thick of things from the beginning to the end of the season.

By WERNER LAUFER The boys who compile the big red geography toxt books have evi dently overlooked something. In treating the exports of the Philippines, much space has been given over to the amount of sugar, coffee, copra, and so forth, that is yearly sent out from those tiny specks in the Pacific, but not one word of tho game little brown men that have come over to win the hearts of the American fight lovers. How come? Just how many of these two- fisted brpwn atoms have entered this land during the past decade is hard to guess, but right now two of their rank nre among the elite in their respective divisions and seem destined to shnre ring laurels with the late Pancho Villa, first of tho Polynesians to win world cham pionship honors In the roped en closure. We refer to Ignaclo Fernandez, featherweight, and Lope Tenerlo, lightweight, both of whom are In our midst gunning for a crown.

Johnny 'Farr, Harrv Forbes and his stirring en counters with Archlo Bell. Tony Cnnzonerl and Dominic Petrone will live long In the memory of the bugs who appreciate action. Tenerio is a late Importation who started his American campaign on the coast, where he troubled even so good a performer as Jimmy Mc Larnln. ' ' Since then he hns bested Russ Whalen, Dick Hoppo and Billy Ad ams and just recently ho turned back the highly feared Stan Loay za, Chilean lightweight, with a seven-round technical knockout. Now his manager, Iko Dorgan. has offered t50,000 to Sammy Man dell, lightweight champion, to give the brown "fury" a shot at the cov eted diadem.
