STEELE KAY0ES
 HOBO WILLIAMS
 IN 9TH ROUND
Oversize Opponent Drop ped by Pair of Lefts to
 Head-Down Twice

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Freddie Steele chopped down the biggest opponent he has met since wearing the middleweight crown when he kayoed Charles (Hobo) Williams, of Alexandria, Virginia, in tn e eighth round of their scheduled l ten-round non-title bout here last evening.
 Williams went down after a left hook to the head, got up at the count of eight but was dropped right back to the canvas again by another left. The referee then stepped in and raised the cham pion's glove.
 Williams had Iz-pound weight advantage. It was the first time the Hobo has ever been knocked off his feet. even though he has stepped out of the middleweight division to tackle some of the East's better light-heavyweights.
 His kayo win here last night was Steele's fourteenth straight victory since he lifted the crown from Babe Risko year ago. Steele has declared that he intends to keep on being a fighting cham pion" and said he would like to defend his throne at least ten times during the next two years.
 "The middlewigeht division has perhaps more good scrappers now than it has listed in many years, Steele observed, "and that suits me fine. Dave Miller, my manager, and I are ready to give any and all contenders a shot at the title"
 Steele said he considers Ken Overlin. Billy Conn, and Teddy Yarosz the outstanding challengers for his crown.
 Steele's trump over Hobo Will Hams. one of the toughest of bat tiers, was pronounced. The knock out came at the end of minutes and 50 seconds of fighting in the eighth round.
 Williams, who had never been knocked off his feet in several years of fighting meeting all com CTS" in carnival show, was set on the canvas by a stiff left early in the first round. but got up with no count
 Williams is rough-house sort of scrapper and had Steele duck ing wildly in the first two rounds until the champion caught on to his style, then Steele, shooting left jabs and hooks. opened up.
 Several times Williams attempt ed to wrestle with Steele and the referee had to pry them apart.

liant fashion as a 1reSnman.
 Blanton reported for training in the spring of 1886 beaming with confidence. Bigger and better than ever, he felt. With the years ex- perience behind him, he would stand rival batters on their heads. And what happened?
 Cy tossed them up there with the same assortment of hooks and dips only this time the batters slam med the pitches right back at him. He was cousin" to them all. His pitches, which were so difficult the year before, were no longer mys- tery. And time after time Cy was bundled off to the showers before he could realize why he had lost his effectiveness. It was long time before Blanton managed to chalk up his first 1886 victory.
 There was no explanation for the sudden loss of his cunning on the mound except that 1t is quite the ordinary thing for freshmen stars to come back the following year to find the road to success ever so much more difficult.
 Blanton got over that second year jinx and now is the star of the Pi- rate hurling corps His screw ball, dipper, or what-haye-you is work ing as of old and Cy is winning again.

EIGHT PERFECT
 BALL HANDLERS,

Moose Team Has Major Share of Top Fielders
 According to Figures

Five outfielders, one infielder, and two batterymen finished the first half of the Gastineau Channel League ball season with perfect fielding averages, according to the official compilation of fielding fi- gures for the first half. 1 The prize performers are: Out fielders-John Niemi. Pete Schmitz, Tom Martin, Harold Hansen and Ralph Moreau; infielder, Jimmy Orme; hurlers, Johnny Smith and Bob Kimball. However, the true fielding leader among the inner defenders is Fritz Schmitz, who took part in considerable more play than did Orme.
 Because of the extensive juggling of players made necessary by the Limited rosters of Channel League teams, classification of players into the various groups presents many complications and some players list ed as outfielders or as batterymen, will have been handicapped by hav- ling been in infield for some games First basemen are listed with the Ibatterymen.

Pine City Beats
|Hinckley l9To6
Greater Experience Makes
for Difference of Two
TOuchdOwns in Game.

In hard fought game replete
with thrills and surprises, Pine Citys
high school football team defeated
Hinckley last Friday afternoon at
Hinckley by the score of 10 to 6.
Both teams seemed to open up their
full bag of tricks in an effort to show
the fans what a real game was like,
and although Pine City held the edge
in scores, the Hinckley boys were
determined to drive in at least one
touchdown which they finally did
The game opened with Pine City
kicking off against the wind and
Hinckley returning to the As yard
line. After 10 yard gain, Hinck-
ley fumbled and Blanchard for Pine
City made Is yards around left end
After a few line plays Poferl made
the first touchdown. Score to o
in favor of Pine City. Pine City
again kicked off but it was a poor
kick and was grounded by Swain
Hinckley failed to gain and punted
to Pine City as the first quarter
ended. Shortly after the second
quarter started, Pine City pushed
over their second touchdown making
the score IL to 0. The try for extra
point was unsuccessful. Poferl, half
back for Pine City, was the scorer
in the second touchdown as he had
been in the first.
Hinckley Makes First Down.
Pine City again kicked off to
Hinckley and in two plays Hinckley
made their ten yards, but failed in
their next attempt and lost the ball
to Pine City. A pass, Poferl to Nc
Kusick, resulted in gain of 19 yards,
and then by using a deceptive re-
verse play, Poferl was sent over for
the third touchdown. The try for
extra point was successful, bringing
the score to 10 to 0 as the half ended
In the third quarter the Hinckley
players put up a much sitter battle,
with Anderson and Leyden skirting
their ends for substantial gains. In
exchange of puntS, Hinckley had
much advantage and pushed Pine
City back toward their goal, at one
time recovering Pine City tumble
on the latter's 20 yard line. Pine
City braced up here and took the
ball on downs. McNeal made 40
yards on an end run as the quarter
ended. In an attempted pass, Poferl
was thrown for loss and Pine City
failed to gain in four attempts. TAX
ing the ball on their own 40 yard
line, Hinckley loosened up passing
attack with Anderson the key man.
He also made splendid runs of five
and 10 yards at a clip and threatened
to break loose at any minute. How
ever, the hard work told on this
player, and it remained for Leyden

is the great possibility that London
will recognize Ethiopia as an Italian
colony! The answer until now has
been Roman silence. Also, in order
to persuade Mussolini, the other pow
ers have promised him that the Ital-
ian navy may take part in the pa
trolling of the Mediterranean on a
basis of equality with the British and
the French. That was accepted in
Rome, but seemingly it has made no
change in the official Italian attitude
toward the Spanish war.
In other words-Japan and Italy
alike completely ignore the powers
who want to stop the conflicts in
which these two nations have in
volved themselves!
Barcelona and Valencia.
Ferocious fighting has been going
on between the rebels and the gov
eminent troops on the northwestern
and northeastern Spanish front
Madrid itself remains intact, but
condign punishment was inflicted on
Valencia, the temporary capital of
Spain, when rebel airplanes Sunday
and Monday bombed the city and
killed an unknown number of civil
ians in addition to exploding entire
rows of houses, especially in the
poorer sections of the city. Barcelona
also was exposed to the bombs of
rebel aviators.
There has been some talk-talk
again!-of certain powers trying to
effect reconciliation between the
Spanish government and the rebels.
So far, nothing has come of it.
But this idea is growing in scope
that other nations actively intervene:
Should Italy and Germany, as has
been limited, send more troops to aid
the rebels, it is mentioned as a pos
sibility that France will open her bor-
ders and allow almost any number
of volunteers to enter Spain to fight
with the government forces. Should
that happen, the civil war will have
become an even more serious inter-
national conflict than it already is.
Fashionable Guests.
Striking less belligerent note-the
Duke and the Duchess of Windsor
are coming to the United States next
month. The former King Edward
VIII is anxious to study working
mems habitations in this country, and
this study he will precede by trip
for similar purposes to Germany. He
has always been socially Inclined
indeed, his interest along these lines
may, in the final analysis, have been
the actual cause of his abdication
from the British throne (his govern
ment disliked his roaming about
among the inhabitants of tenement
districts and mining regions). Now,
he is no longer bound by official
etiquette and can do pretty much
what he except, for the time
being, 60 back to England That had
been his plan, but the government
sent a cabinet minister to Paris to
dissuade him. When he found that
he was not wanted in England, he
made up his mind to 60 to America
and to take his wife along. Busy
days are ahead for the newspaper re-
porters on this side of the Atlantic;
many wearying details for the news
paper public!
