 New. York, Feb. 20-(UPJ-Five olympians, the greatest field in the 26 year history of the Baxter Mile" line up tonight at the an- nual New York A. o. track and field games. W
 Headlining the 21-event program, this historic feature will draw 6 capacity crowd of 16,O00 into Madi- son Square Garden. The mile en- trants = three Americans, an Ital- ian and a Hungarian-all won points in the 1936 olympic 1900 meters.
 The odd-on favorite tonight IS Glenn Cunningham, of Kansas who holds both outdoor and indoor world records for the mile. He fin- ished second to Jack Lovelock of New Zealand last summer at Berlin in the 1900, which is nearly 100 yards less than . mile.
 His most feared competitor will be Luigi Becalu of Italy, olympic l5O0 meter champion in 1882, who IdIl tIlUO-BABHb DSuAi0 Su4AAlAAS~ ham last summer. Luigi first enter ed the two mile run, preferring to make his debut on the eastern boards in less stiff competition. But his rapid return to form since abandoning track sports to learn U. s. highway engineering methods for Mussolini, convinced him he was ready to run against Cunningham.
 Archie San Romani, another Kan san, who dogged Beccali's footsteps across the olympic finish line, might give either of the favorites . hard race. The other two entrants are Miklo Szabo, Hungarian champion distance runner. and Gene Venzke of Pottstown, Pa, who ran eighth and ninth respectively at Berlin.
 Beccali,s withdrawal from the two miles, however, detracted none of the interest in that event. He wasn't expected to give Don Lash, world record holder of both outdoor and indoor marks, . real battle.

\
 New York, Feb. 20-(UPJ-Fred- die Steele, Tacoma's young veteran of the prize-ring, still is middle weight champion - but as far as New York fans are concerned he is not another Stanley Ketchell or Mickey Walker.
 The advance notices from the far west preceding his first appearance here said this 24-year-old, brown haired scrapper was one of the best l60-pounders ever to draw on a glove.
 But Freddie, who has been fight ing since he was IS, was unimpres- sive as he defended his title last night in Madison Square Garden with a 15-round. decision victory over Eddie (Babe) Risko of Syra- cuse, the man from whom Steele won the title in Seattle last July.
 Steele, ill winning the unanimous decision of the referee and two judges, turned in a workmanlike job in scoring his third victory over the former bellhop and gob. But in winning, Freddie failed to connect more than once with the vaunted right which had plotted out 21 of the 53 men he has met.
 In justice to Steele it must be remembered that Risko's unortho- dox style is most difficult to solve and Freddie, despite jarring left which was in Babes face through out, was unable to catch up with the Syracuse battler long enough to infiict any telling blows.
 Steele, according to the United Press score-sheet, won nine rounds; Risk0 five and one was even.
