STEELE KAYOED
BY Low BLOW

haps SO times without return in
the ninth, stepped in and stopped
the fight.
It was the greatest middleweight
fight seen around here in a gen.
Grafton, topping the Greb Walker
brawl by many a sanguinary
punch, and. Of course, it will have
to be repeated outdoors next sum-
mer, this time with the title riding
along. But strangely unmarked
Apostoli didn't seem to be think
ing about that in his dressing room
or even about the comparatively
small cut he got on the $4,000
gate.
"I've followed him for three
years." he said, with just a touch
of Macabre relish. 1--WE watched
him every chance 7 got and read
everything written about him. And
tonight I got him. Once or twice,
he almost got me-in the middle
rounds"
CLAIMS TITLE
His manager, Larry White, said
he was going to claim the title, but
that can mean very little. Steele
had nothing to say at all, being in
the hands of physicians.
He was really hurt by that low
left hook in the seventh round; so
badly hurt, in fact, that tears
coursed down his cheeks and
mingled with the blood in the
eighth and his hands might have
been 16-pound hammers, so great
was the effort to keep them aloft.
With that punch and its after-ef.
feet, the knockout was practically
ordained.
But even without it, there
seemed no question that Apostoli
must win.
It seemed that way, as a matter
of fact, while Steele was making
a stand-off fight of it for six
rounds. For Apostoli, keeping his
right guard high as protection
against Steele's left hook, always
had an answer for anything that
champion did. If it was toe-to-
toe slugging, Apostoli generally
outlasted him and punched him
into retreat. If Steele elected to
box, as he did in taking the
fourth, ApostoH found the reply
thereafter and almost drove the
other man out Of the ring.
STARTED WITH RUSH
The third round was typical.
Steele started with a rush, punch
ing violently to the body with both
hands. But the other took that
and came on with series Of head
punches, backing Freddie into the
ropes and almost into the press
row. In the sixth, the latter
slipped and, as Apostoli stepped
back, Freddie came off the floor
with a terrific right to the body;
whereat Apostoli went berserk,
failing the other man mercileSSly
with punches that beat upon him
like so many clubs.
Still enraged, Apostoli came out
for the seventh and put on a
football block, driving Freddie off
his feet. Next came the low left
from which Steele first doubled up
in torture and then turned his
back and limped away, dragging
his right leg after him. Donovan
watched him narrowly a moment,
then waved for him to continue.
It was an idle gesture.
Freddie did continue as best
he might for upward of a round
and a half, bit he was beaten,
Dashed and all but demolished. So
Donovan did the only sensible
thing. His next wave was for
Freddie to stop.

College basketball's first full
week of activity will be brought
to q close tonight in one of the
feature engagements Of the cam.
paign when Catholic University
tangleS with American Univer.
sity in the C. U. gym. The tap is
listed for 8:15 O'Clock. In a pre-
liminary attraction the Cardinal
freshmen will play Takoma-Silver
Spring High School, starting at
7:30.
The game tonight inaugurates
a new local college athletic pact,
as C. U. and A. U. will continue
with relations throughout the sea-
son, with another cage game listed
for the Eagles gym late in Feb
ruary; a track meet in the spring,
and a football game, the initial
contest on both institutions grid
schedules next October.
PLAYED LAST YEAR
Last year the two teams played
a post-season basketball game,
which did not count in the records
of either school. This tilt was run
off under the new rules elininat-
ing the center jump, and was
played with the seamless ball. The
ball used in the game is optional,
but has been adopted by the
Southern Conference. However,
this type of ball will be used in
play tonight.
Catholic University has played
three games so far this season
and all we're staged in the C. U.
gym before the holidays, with the
Cards victorious in only one fray,
the opener with Maryland State
Normal. C. U. lost to Shepherd
State Teachers and Hudson Col
lege, but out of the remnants of
the first three games, the Brook
landers came up with a sharp
shooting player in Wayne Am
brose. who has annexed go points
to take a strangle hold on the
District college individual scoring
race.
WON ONLY START
American University has played
but one game this season, that
against Western Maryland at
Westminster, which the Eagles
won in fine fashion. With thh
victory, the Eagles believe they
really have ball club, despite
the fact their victim, the Ter
rorS, have not won a game this
season in six or seven starts.
However, the C. U.-A. U. game
tonight should be a good one, as
it embraces local rivalry. And
when you have such a hometown
Setup, good turnout is generally
assured.

ment. He appears to be too lackadaisical on
the court Perhaps l am misjudging his
actions. His what-of-it2 attitude might be
cool veneer beneath which burns hot COM
petitive spirit. hope so, for his sake and for
the sake of American and international tennis,
because he has all the natural and physical
qualities of a great performer. But, lacka-
daisical or not, no one is more confident of his
ability and his eventual Mol ranking than
young Mr. Riggs himself. His buoyant self
assurance should carry him to the top even if
his game fails to improve.
As court technician, Riggs is the opposite
of Bulge. Don is aggressive, hard-driving,
with powerful service; Riggs is defensive,
tricky, lacking the booming serve that has
become characteristic of your American play
ers He may, of course, develop this service.
His game will improve. Within year he
should be able to give Bulge or anybody else
fierce fight. A year, you know, means con-
siderable in the life of an international tennis
player Bulge, himself, for instance, bloomed
in one year from SIAM banging. blundering
boy to sharpshooting, shrewd star.
When first met Budge in the Davis Cup
matches of 1885 he was nervous and unsteady.
He had smashing service and deadly back
hand, but he had a faulty forehand that the
British players were quick to discover and
capitalize on.
We noticed that when you sent a slow ball
to his forehand he always returned it across
the court with loop; and if you rammed
fast ball at the forehand, his return invariably
was down the baseline. Thus, we had the
Jump ON him and. young and nervous as he
was, he was unable to do anything about it.
1t was, however. different story and a
different player the following year when l
met him in the final round of the 1886
American championships at Forest Hills.
Gone was his forehand fault and his nervous
haste Try as might could find no weakness
in his defense or in his attack. He won the
first set with sweeping smashing assault
d110 WC11l OA IACAS " eSoSAAAAS q w ASAa>A
in the fifth and deciding set.
But even with his new-found assurance,
something happened to Bulge that illustrates
the tremendous nervous strain imposed upon
a man by top-flight tennis play.
It was his service in that fifth set. and
remember paving the baseline with sinking
feeling in my stomach that perhaps my goose
was about to be cooked in his steaming drives.
To make matters worse, the referee tipped
two new balls to Bulge. Now. you know. you
can put considerable English" as you
Americans say, on new ball. 1t spins easily
and breaks big and it is well-nigh impossible
for your opponent to return the serve. 1t is
fatal, however, for server to smash the ball.
Invariably it flies wild.

sure that he would spin the ball and ace me

the day when Don decides to play for gold
