Duel Of MiddIes in
Seattle Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE, June 26.-Rugged Solly
Krieger of Brooklyn enjoyed the
left-handed distinction today of
being at once a champion and an
underdog for his N. B. A.-recognized
middleweight title fight with AL
Hostak of Seattle tomorrow night.
The champion was on the short
end OF 10-7 odds with Hostak sup
porters wagering the curly headed
young Slav would regain the crown
he lost to Krieger last November !.
Krieger Believed Weakened.
Hostak supporters reason that the
beating Solly took from Billy Conn
didn't do him any good, and
Krieger's diff1culty in making 100
pounds for tomorrow's fight should
weaken him. They pin hopes Of a
Hostak victory on AIS terrific
punching prowess which reaped a
string of 18 consecutive knockouts
before Krieger won a decision for
the title.
In support of Krieger, many insist
Hostak's style is made-to- o-order for
Solly's underslung, boring-in tactics.
Jimmy Braddock, former world
heavyweight champion. will referee
the tussle, and the State Boxing
Commission has ruled two judges
will have a say on any decision.
$4,000 Gate Expected.
A brisk advance sale had Promoter
Nate Druxman hoping for a house
of at least $4,000 in the outdoor
Civic Stadium.
The fighters wound up heavy work
yesterday, with Krieger facing the
possibility today OF more exercise in
order to make weight. Hostak was
close to the weight today and his
manager, Eddie Marino, said AL
probably would scale 1887 for the
bout.
