By the time Steve, third oldest, was ready for high school, his father had organized the five sons into & basket ball team that toured the State. Mike, his constant companion, was the best basket ball player. He is Austrian in descent, 8 student, avid reader, unexcitable, indefatigable tum worker, & gregt “finisher” in a ring and speaks five languages— Slav, Russian, Polish, English and pro- fane. He loves big steaks and vegeta- bles and thinks his only sister is the best cook in the world. He likes to start arguments and then retire. He's a “ribber,” a practical joker. His fa-| vorite remark is, “You can't take it."| He's a typical college boy. Foor BALL is the greatest game he ever ran into. He was a great full-| back at Penn State. Pighting is & joke compared to foot ball. On Penn State gridirons they knocked out two of his teeth, broke his wrist and ankle. He's been knocked down once, winning 24 fights out of 27 | by knockouts. He never misses a fool bell game within reaching distance, no matter who is_playing. One of his problems as & fighter is to limber up the hard muscles foot ball left in his legs. q}:e was playing professional foot ball when a mutual friend brought him as a fight prospect to Charlie Harveéy, known as “Old Handlebar,” because of his mustachios, one of the best beloved of all the ring veterans. A year ago Brother Mike became fll, and Steve started with him in a bat- tered old car for the Pacific Coast. He took letters of introduction from Charlie Harvey to several fight promoters in case funds failed. They did. O Steve got nine fights and scored | S nine knockouts. He sent mest of | the money home.

Charlie had never met any one that in the fight game before Brother Mike got over his illness and found a job at $4 a day as an assistant earpenter But we're worse off than ever,” Steve wrote Charlfe, “because now that Mike is better he eats more than $4 worth a day.” When Charlie had a birthday a few weeks ago every one forgot it but Steve. | Charlie has & hard time getting around as a result of two bad automobile acci- dents.

The fighters met here several months ago in a championship bout, which Battalino won easily. Since that time Battalino has experienced difficulty in getting down to weight. His title was vacated by the New York Boxing Commission recently when he failed to weigh in under the featherweight limit for a title bout with Lou Feldman Next week's bout is to have the sanction of the National Boxing Association, the Cincinnati commis- sion announced. Battalino was due here today to begin training. Miller has been work- ing out for & week. SHIKA 10 DEFEAT SZABO Hungarian Capable of Extend- ing Former Mat Champ, However.

Shikat, who defeated Szabo in & re- cent bout here, will have a big advan- tage in experience. It was the ex- champ’s cunning that spelled defeat for Szabo in their last match. Shikat side- stepped & flying tackle and allowed the Hungarian youth to go fiying through the ropes into the audience, where he was_counted out.

NEW YORK, January 20 (P).—What little element of luck there has been in past Poughkeepsie regattas will have been removed when the eight-oared college shells sweep down the Hudson next June 20 in the annual classic.

POWERS. | HICAGO, January 20.—The new golf ball received its first real competitive test in the Agua Caliente Open tournament, which Fred Morrison won with a score of four under fours for the 72 holes. The Agua Caliente course puts a premium on distance, which Hillcrest, where the Los Angeles Open was played, did not, and that's of great interest to the average | golfer who wants all the yardage that can be stuffed into a golf ball. Morrison is one of the longest hitters | in golf and can be headed only by Jim= my Thompson and one or two others. The tremendous carry he was able to get with his long shots was the de- termining factor of his victory. The Agua Caliente open was played in rain and over a heavy course, yet Morrison was able to turn in rounds of 69 and 68 to win by the smallest score ever returned in the Mexican tournament. Which speaks very well for the scoring properties of the heavier ball. Ball Now Pleases Pros, ‘The professionals who were & bit critical of the new ball a month ago now are very favorable to its reactions. They have found it possible, once more, to get home in two, where last year they often were just a bit short with their seconds. And your professional likes his yards just as much as the duffer. There may still be a bit of criticism about the putting qualities of the ball, but that probably has been caused by the necessity of a readjustment of the putting stroke after the switch from the balloon to the new model sphere. Some of the veterans in the game be~ lieve the present ball will be the most satisfactory ever developed. Fred Mc= Leod and George Sargent compare it with the old “glory dimple,” that was quite a ball back in the days when golf was “cow pasture pool” and all golfers were regarded as sissies. It will satisty the duffer and after all he is the gent who pays the tolls of the game. Morrison’s victory was the biggest surprise of the Winter season, for while the long-hitting Californian has been a good golfer these many years, he never displayed sufficient form to rank him above Sarazen, Cooper, Mac Smith and .a dozen others. At Caliente he hooked up & neat short game with his tremendous shots through the fairway and left the favorites behind. Morrison’s _victory now puts him ahead of Wiffy Cox, Harry Cooper and Mac Smith as the big money winger of the Winter, but he scarcely will hold the margin long since he will not follow the forthcoming Winter tournaments as I the others intend doing. Sarazen’s Game Improves. Gene Sarazen played the most con- sistent golf shown at Agua Callente. | After opening with a 70, Gene turned in three rounds of even par golf and only for Morrison’s two sensational rounds would have won the world's richest championship for the second time. * Sarazen is playing beautiful golf from tee to green and getting tremendous dis- tances with his long clubs. He is about due to win one of the Winter tourna- ments, but is more intent on keeping his game keen for the big champion- ships of the Summer. Gene has made no announcement of his plans, but if he continues to play well, it would not be surprising to see him in the British open next Spring. Sarazen never has been able to play his best golf in Britain, but being of | & determimed nature, he will keep trying. team.
