Mickey Walker, present title holder, is equally sure that the. tint won't. But the Question will not be decided until Oct. 29 when Hudklns and Walker meet at Wrlgley Held, Los Angeles, for the championship. The bout Is holding the spotlight In the boxing world as one of the best "naturals" of the year, with the tear- Ing savage Cat matched against the hard-hitting, crafty Walker, "Sure I'll beat him," says the confident Hudklns, Who has recently removed the last dbstacle In his path before the Walker bout, taking a six- round technical knockout over Kentucky Joe Anderson.

Walker has memories of a decision over Hudkins In Chicago some time ago, and is certain that ho can "take," the Cat again. Los Angeles fans are boosting Hudkins In the bout. Hudkins, always a good drawing card, definitely put him self in line foV a title bout by decisively whipping Kentucky Joe Anderson. He carried ft vicious, slashing attack that had Joe In a bad way In four rounds, and brought an end In the sixth. Both Walker and Hudklns can hit and take it.

Walker may hold a slight edge In betting, due to greater ring cni.ftsmftnshtp.and greater boxing skill, but should Hudkins be timing his "one- two" with the same accuracy that ho displayed against Anderson, and should his right and left hooks carry the same effectiveness, a new champion may be crowned. Walker has not defended his tltlt for some time, but has been doing considerable work, so that he should be In condition for the bout. Hudklns has been fighting more, and la In top shape for the affair. The Cat came through the Anderson bout with hardly a. mark Hudklns is a dangerous Infightor Anderson won only the round -that ho Yoil hover can tell.
