STEELE KEEPS CHAMPIONSHIP; DEFEATS BARTH ent Down in 2 Rounds —Towel Tossed In CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 21. Freddie Steele, of Tacoma and Se- attle, is still Middleweight King. He retained his championship by stopping Carman Barth after 2 min- utes and 19 seconds of fighting in the seventh round of a scheduled 15 round bout. Barth's followers tossed the towel into the ring after the Cleveland man had been knocked down four times. From the second round through the fifth, the two men fought a ding dong battle with Barth, once Olympic middleweight champion, showing a surprising left handed at- tack. Steele’s incessant right and left pounding was, however, too much in the sixth and seventh round for the Cleveland man, who went down repeatedly and his seconds tossed in the towel to stop further pun- ishment, Former Champion James J. Brad- dock refereed the fight. Steele weighed 159 pounds and Bartha 159 pounds.

Feb. 21. — At the age of 7, Ethel Joy Brown ex- cels with her quarter-size violin. She tucked the instrument un- der her chin at the state violin trials at Nashville and played the “Hoigoblin Dance,” by Goby Eb- erhardt. When she had finished, the judges called an intermission. They took the child into a side room and had her play for them again and again. Then, though she had studied only nine months, they gave the highest sward of her class and the highest average of all contestants. Joseph Haber, Memphis concert violinist, thinks the child is genius. 1 . THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE,"MONDAY, FEB. 21, 1938.
