STEELE MENACED
BY KAYO|NG RIVAL
Middle King, Also Puncher,
Only 1919 Choice Over
Hostak Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE. July 26.-The Overall
Kid from Seattle's Georgetown mill
district gets his chance tonight at the
world middleweight boxing crown
when Al Hostile" Hostak clashes with
Freddie Steele, the champion from
Tacoma.
The fight is scheduled for Is rounds,
but may be decided sooner because of
the hefty pokes packed by the two
principals. Challenger Hostak has
scored IS consecutive knockouts and
hopes Steele will be No. Is. Steele is
no cream-puff hitter himself. having
scored 81 knockouts in his career.
The fighters are to weigh in TODAY
around Q pm. with Steele expected to
scale about 159 pounds and Hostak a
pound lighter.
Odds on Steele Fade.
When the fight was announced,
Steele was 1877 favorite in the
wagering, but the odds have shrunk
to 1919. and indications are it will be
an even-money argument by ring
time
Hostak, % years old, started fighting
IN the 125-pound class, spindly little
blond kid with terrific wallop. As he
grew In size he moved from the pre-
liminary class and began fighting
main events in outlying neighboring
areans.
He blasted through the middle
weights and cooled several fighters in
shorter time than it required Steele
to dispose of them. Listed in Hostak's
knockout string are such fighters as
Babe Risko, Allen Matthews, Irish
Bob Turner, Don La Rue, Young
Terry, Tony Fisher, Swede Berglund
and Chief Paris.
Gains by Comparison.
Fisher. Risko and Matthews. all
went the distance against Steele. but
Hostak kayoed them in two, seven and
nine round, respectively. Steele's
hackers point out Freddie had soft
ened them for AL, but that's another
matter to be settled tonight.
Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight
champion. will referee the match.
which Promoter Nate Druxman esti-
mated would draw between IS, 900 and
10000 persons who will pay from
100000 to 100000 for the privilege.

Good Many Reasons Why Bucs
Are Setting Pennont Poce

The Pirates are riding the crest for
various reasons, as of even date. For
instance:
Their pitching front is wide, if not
deep With the addition of Ed Brandt,
hot-weather spot pitcher, they have
six men who can start and win a game
and they have Mace Brown to finish
what the other gentlemen start.
Paul Waner has found and held his
normal hitting stride
Lee Handley is playing sensational
ball at third base, and cutting of
many run.
Floyd Young is the kind of pepper
pot stolid ball club needs.
John Costa Rizzo has declined to
emulate the accordion, like so many
freshman swatters from the minor
leagues. He keeps on driving in runs.
The Pirates have been lucky so far,
except for Paul Waner's spring slump
and the early-season injury which got
Russ Bauers off to slow start. Their
share Of bad breaks may be just ahead.
But. year in and year out, this is a
powerful September club. and seldom
before has it had the added advantage
Of red-hot July.
At any rate, we will do our Christ
mas gloating early
