Reds Acquire Heavy Hitter in Hudgens : Tunney Waiting For Chance at CINCINNATI MAY EMPLOY SLUGGER AT FIRST BASE Fort Smith Player Who Topped Western Association Batters May Solve Initial Sack Problem for Hendricks—Infield Uncertain. B. FOSTER. EW YORK 23.—~The St. Louis Nationals had so many good woutficlders in stock that they let the Cincinnatis hook leading batsman of the Western Association right under their eyes. BY December JOHN N Jim Hudgens of the Fort Smith club is the chap. Smith is. presumably, an annex of the Cardi L players of that club, of the Houston club and of the Syracuse outfit were pposed to be more or less directly linked with the future of the St Louis organization. So, to cdge in the way they did. the Reds must have put up such a price for Hudgens that Fort Smith couldn’t afford to turn t down. Hudeens is one of the few champion minor league batsmen hooked a line for the big company in 1926. He was in 150 games for Fort Smith | and cracked the ball for a percentaze of 389, making the tremendous total of 230 hits.
