HOT MIDDLE TITLE
HTUSSLEPR0M|SED
Challenging Babe to Carry
Improved Boxing Style
Into Ring Friday.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

"A YEW YORK, February 13.-Fred-
N die Steele will defend his mid
dleweight title against Babe
i Risko at Madison Square Gar
den Friday night. Although both men
are familiar with each others style,
having met twice before. with Steele
winning the decision each time, the
fight promises to be a keenly waged
one from the opening bell.
Risko was somewhat handicapped
BY inexperience when he won the l60-
pound title from Teddy Yarosz. This,
and the fact that he was called upon
to face opponents more skilled than
himself, placed him in bad light
with the fans. Poor matchmaking in
his first local appearance accounted
for his first defeat Pitted against the
shrewd style employed by Vince Dun
dee, the former Navy lad was made to
look bad. Fooled into making weight
for Jock McAvoy, who claimed to be
q niddleweight when the scales put
him down as an out-and-out light
heavy, he was sent reeling from re-
sounding right hand smash to the chin
before he could put up his guard. The
contest wound up with knockout
and local fans promptly voted him
"lucky champion"

RiSkO Packs Punch.

II ISKO is far from being poor fight
~ err A check over his record dis
closes meetings with Sammy Slaughter,
Paul Pirrone. Frank Battaglia. Fred
Apostoli and Harry Balsamo. the heav-
lest hitters in the middleweight divi-
sion. Add to this group the name Of
Freddie Steele and you will have to
admit Babe had something or he would
not have lasted the route in a swap
fest with them.
Steele Is not picking on soft one
in Risko The latter is well built and
packs plenty of heft behind his blows.
What he lacks in science is made up
in willingness to trade punches.
Steele selected Risko on the assump-
ton that what he did on two occa-
sions he can do again. But the Ia
coma thumper made sure that Babe
guaranteed him $4,000 before agree
ing to sign for the match. Money
counts in the boxing game. Demand
ing such price means that Freddie
wants to be well protected in the
pNt1lb lIldI 1bIShO pQbo ONOi oAiC Va AAAA1
rights and relieves him of his crown.
Risko's work in the gymnasium is
pretty we'll known to local fans. He
looks as good as ever. There is little
to Judge his form on that.
Babe Has Learned Boxing.
WHAT impresses the fans. though,
w is the smart manneY in which
he laid off the pace Harry Balsamo
set and countered swiftly with short
inside blows. Babe had not been able
to do so against Dundee or McAvoy.
He may have picked up smartnesS
along the road. and then again the
fact he was pitted against a fighter
with but one thought IN mind, that Of
winning the fight with one punch,
may have made him look better than
he really is.
Steele has been impressive. Every
move he makes in training bespeaks
finished fighter. His work against
lighter boys proves he can step as
smartly as lightweight In spar ses-
sions with heavy boys Freddie holds
his own and oftentimes has had to let
UP on heavy punching.
Sensing the awakened interest in
the 16O-pound class, Steel expects to
triumph over Risko so as to leave no
doubt as to the rightful holder OF the
title and work himself into big pay
ing purse when the open-air season
rolls around.

will haunt Turner's Arena for
~ the first time Thursday night
when he carts his foot 3 inch, 235-
pound frame into the ring to meet
Stanley Pinto. villainous veteran, in
the feature of the weekly grapple card
Casey now is the proud possessor
of the faint claim to the champion
ship formerly held by the chubby and
colorless Cliff Olson. having pinned
the Swedish muscle man in New York
last week. Olson previously won his
claim TO the crown by being present
in the ring when Yvon Robert frac-
tured his leg here several months
ago.
Casey Crowd Pieaser.
STEVE, it seems, is delightful con-
trast to his fellow countryman,
Danno O'Mahony, former world title
holder. Unlike County Cork's pink
checked, mild O'Mahony, County
Kerry's Casey is ranked by many as
the greatest crowd -pleaser to invade
this country in several years.
Fashioned somewhat along the lines
of Victor McLaglen and fully as hand
some, the Crusher is one of 10 chill
dren, in a rather athletic family. Steve
and three of his six brothers hold the

ANTICIPATE HOUSE
FARM BILL VOTE

WASHINGTON, Dec, 10. Cup
House leaders completed reading
major portions of the administra-
tion's farm bill for amendments
last night after quelling revolt
against compulsory corn control,
and leaders said they hoped for a
final vote late today.
In the senate the POpc-McGlll
crop bill did not fare so we'll IL
was begged down behind demands
that business aid be put ahead,
and floods of amendments which
made a final vote improbable be-
fore next week.
The principal fight in the house
came on rejection, 80 to 93, Of
an amendment by Representative
Harry NJ. Coffee, D.. Nebr, TO
exempt corn from marketing quo
tas and penalty taxes. Coffee led
the successful fight earlier in the
week which tentatively removed
similar compulsory restrictions on
wheat.
Administration strength, iR de-
fes.ing the coffee bloc, indicated
that Chairman Marvin Jones, D.,
Texas, of the house agriculture
committee. would be successful
in his struggle for reversal of the
previous stand on wheat.
