Northwest fight fans are steamed up over the chances of a Tacoma boy-Freddie Steele - to bring a world championship to the Ever green State.
 On the night of uly 10, in the Seattle baseball park at least 3O.- 900 spectators will watch the Ia coma wonder boy" attempt to knock the middleweight crown off the head of Eddie (Babe) Risko. The fight will be the first bona fide title bout in the history of the State If Steele is successful he will be the second Washington boy to hold a world title. Tod Morgan, former junior lightweight cham pion, is the only Washington prod uct ever to wear boxing crown.
 Steele won his crack at the crown by whipping Risko in an over weight match. Although his victory was not sensational, the rangy, hawk-eyed westerner, by vir- tue of this showing, should be suc- cessful in his bid for middleweight honors.

HOMER RICHARDS

 SHEPHEARD'S HOTEL

In his travels over the world as a chef and connoisSeur of fine foods, Homer Richards, master of cere- monies and manager of the Ter minal Cafe, has gained reputation as a collector of famous menus. China, Europe, South America and the famous hotels and cafes in America are included in Homers collection. Today, from some un- known source, he received several fine steel-engraved menus from the world-famous Shephards Hotel in Cairo, Egypt.
 Homer believes that one of his friends, in his wanderings, remem- bered his yen for menus and pro- ceeded to mail them to Alaska. Homer stated that the menus were mailed from Cairo on June g.

to attract crowds in the East, and Freddie Steele's tremendous draw ing power on the Pacific Coast, wonder how Seattle promoter in- weighed Gabe Genovese's charge into risking his title against fighter who only recently gave him a beating. The time-worn remark, variously attributed to insurance salesmen and professional athletes, namely: We aren't in the business for our health" just about answers that query.
 Business Is Business
 Babe Risko is not highly regard ed in his home section. Since he lost two of three bouts on the West Coast his prestige has dwin- died considerably. Consequently, when Nate Druxman, who has pro- noted almost every one of Steeles important m tc h es, offered the champion 25,0O0, with an extra 1000 for training expenses, Risko decided to reap the financial crop before his pugilistic sun was eclipsed.
 Only last March Steele, 23, and a veteran of eight years of ring warfare, got the chance to unleash his terrific punching power at the courageous Pole from Syracuse. Fred rewarded 5000 fans with a decisive win. Steele took no chances with the tough Fastener, Instead, he fought cool, methodical battle the entire 10 rounds. His terrific right hand smashes to the heart slowed up the title-holder to walk in the closing moments.
 Steele's rise to middleweight con- tender is a story of almost un- broken success. From the first, when Dave Miller took him under his wing as a featherweight, the hard-punching kid appeared to be going places. Many times in the past few years fight followers have asked why Miller never took his sensation East, where the big money was supposed to be. The shrewd manager brought his fight CT along at an even pace. Now Miller has the outstanding U. s. middleweight and does not have to run up profit-killing hotel and transportation bills looking for big purses.
 Mountain to MahOmet
 Because the genial Miller was not lured from the coast by the mirage of greener pastures, he finds himself and his protege talk ing a good share of a $75,O0O gate in his own backyard, with a bout that would draw only half as much in any other fight center A paradoxical case of the mountain coming to Mahomet.
 Among Freddie Steele's kayo vic- tims are Ceferino Garcia, Fred Apostoli, Andy Divodi, Vince Dun- dee, Al Rossi, Swede Berglund and Bucky Lawless. He has won deci- sions over Gorilla Jones, Young Stuhley, Billy Townsend, Babe Ma rion, Tommy Rios and Leonard Bennett.

1t lasted until Mr.. Roosevelt drove
from the stadium
Half way through his speech, the
President sounded his war cry:
For too many of us the political
equality we once had won was mean
ingless in the face of economic in
equality. A small group had concen-
trated into their own hands an almost
complete control over other peoples
property, other peoples money, other
peoples labor, other peoples lives.
For too many of us life was no
longer free, liberty no longer real;
men could no longer follow the pur-
suit of happiness"
'The economic royalists complain
that we seek to overthrow the insti-
tutions of America. What they really
complain of is that we seek to take
away their power. Our allegiance to
American institutions require the over
throw of this kind of power"
The President did not mention
either the Republican party or Gov
ernor Aft M. Landon, the Republican
candidate. Nor did he mention the
Democrats. He bid for the support of

ate V cry Strong
Impression in State
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
by D SKERVILI.

Raleigh, June 29.-The statement
by former Senator F. M. Simmons
that he is opposing "Clyde Hoey for
governor of North Carolina for the
same reason that I opposed Al Smith
for President of the United States in
1928" has drawn nothing but silence
from Mr. Hoey's headquarters, but
North Carolinians who remember de-
tails of the heated Hoover-Smith
campaign are unable to follow the
veteran New Bern mans reasoning.
They recall too we'll that the then
senior senator from North Carolina
based his bolt from the Democratic
party on the "wetness Of the brown
derby wearer from the sidewalks of
New York, and they are little more
than tolerantly amused by verbal GEES
turings which put Mr.. Hoey in the
same class. Some North Carolinians
may fear Mr. Hoey on the prohibition
issue, but none because he is wet
like AL Smith, for none doubts the
sincerity of the Shelby mans cam
paign statement that he is dry both
in practice and in theory.
On the other hand there are those
who carry Mr.. Simmons analogy a
bit further and are inclined to agree
that there is striking similarity be-
tween Herbert Hoover, the man he
supported in 1928, and Ralph McDon-
aid, his present favorite for governor.
These unkind folks find a pointed
parallel between the great engi-
neer's" promises of two chickens in
every pot and two cars in every gar
age and the many promises made by
DR.. Mcdonald during the course of
the gubernatorial campaign.
Difference of Opinion.
There is some difference of opinion
about the value Of Mr.. Simmons en-
dorsement. Mcdonald men are con-
fident that the former senator has re-
tanned much Of his Old-time vote get
ting ability, but Hoey supporters
point to his overwhelming defeat by
Senator Bailey in 1880. They recall the
old political truiSm that you can run
over one or two big fellows and get
away with it, but you are sure to re-
gret running over a lot of little fell
lows"
And they add point to their remarks
nv calling the roll of lesser office
holders who went down to defeat
along with Smith in 1923 and who are
