SPORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTOX, Hobo Real Menace to Champion |G WEIGHT EDGE NOT LAUGHED OFF Steele Harassed by Hot Weather—Bout Promises to Be a Thriller. BY BURTON HAWKINS, CRISP punch planted in vulner- able territory often has de- stroved much pre-fight logic, but an analysis of the Freddie Steele-Hobo Williams 10round bout, which will be unraveled Tuesday night at Griffith Stadium, reveals the former carnival attraction definitely has more than a remote chance of recording an upset, Paramount in the minds of those £ubscribing to this theory is the matter of weight, wherein Hobo will gain a distinct edge. Williams, under con- tract to scale 163 pounds Tuesday afternoon, is expected to bounce back to about 167 alter absorbing a steak and trimmings Steele, on the other hand, will balance the beam at approximately 135 pounds, which is conceding Hobo 12 pounds—a margin which should prove a telling factor when Williams, as is his custom, roughs it up inside, Weather Drawback to Fred.

He is a talented boxer who, accor g to a fighter who has sparred both Steele and Williams, packs the most authoritative wallop Still, Hobo's record is mute testimony that he also possesses a knockout punch “Steele undoubtedly is a good fighter—-not a great one, though. writes a New York veteran of the ring game when queried on the bout. “Freddie’'s record is studded with op- portune ‘tanks’ who made him look good because he was the only fighter to draw any real money in the North- west.” Knows How to Finish 'Em. ]ll? fights with Babe Ris for he title,” he continues, “are & tip-off that he is very careful to nurse it along instead of meeting guch boys as Fred Apostoli and Ken | Overlin. “Steele is the boxer type nice to watch and carries a good ri hand.

Freddie alters his style to suit the fighter and according to sparmates, he does a rather expert job of it. Hobo however, wades in, drills away and pits his luck chiefly on a kayo.

At the recent official conclave of representatives of the various school clubs Central High Chess Club was voted unanimously the winner of the 1. S. Turover Trophy, and according to a copy of the letter written to the donor of the cup (and sent to us for publication) the interhigh lads “deplore” the tactics employed by a certain local morning paper, which possesses no proper credentials to speak officially for the interhigh as- sociation, to bring about a schism in the unified ranks of high school .chess players.

Gertie, Tomboy of Steele’s Training Camp, Is Touéh ‘Guy’ Until Cupid Socks Her Ga Ga | League game at Baileys Cross Roads, BY BURTON HAWKINS. ERTIE GRAY probably could have trimmed her weight in boa constrictors a month ago, but now she’s a softie. Gertie, you see, is the 12-year-old tomboy who has been haunting Freddie Steele’s training camp, and all indica- tions point toward her being definitely in love with the personable world middleweight champ. Gertie and her totally unsophisti- cated manners have transformed a training camp into little more than a stage for her unconscious antics. She’s all boy, except in her love for Freddie, and her only regret is that she was forced to show up one Sun- day in a dress. Freddie's most faithful follower in his conditioning grind at Griffith Farms in preparation for his 10- round, non-title bout at Griffith Sta- dium Tuesday night with Hobo Wil- liams, Gertie, a freckle-faced, brown- haired lass who can lick any kid in that section—and has—is the personi- fication of devotion, even though she has shielded it \cll Gertie Is Raized, Too. IN THE more than three weeks Steele has been training there, Gertie never has missed & workout. From the moment she comes streaking across the meadow, shouting “Yea, Freddie” from the time she leaves her house a half mile down the road, she’s the life of the camp. Usually garbed in overalls and a battered straw hat, Gertie planks herself down at ringside and main- tains an incessant stream of sarcasm at Freddie’s sparmates. Camp attaches ride her unmercifully when these hu- man punching bags tag Freddie with an authoritative blow, but Gertie al- ways retaliates with a witty come- back. “Hit him, Preddie—sock him HARD,” shrieks Gertie. “Aw, hit him real hard . . . thataboy . . . now you 2ot his nose bloody . . . smack him there again ., . . sw, you're with him , . , let me In there.” K So they let Gertie lace on the gloves and swing against Bobby Dechter, & local featherweight and one of Fred- die's sparmates. Bobby enters into the spirit of the thing and is “floored” by one of Gertie's rights, strictly a boyish clout. Gertie, however, hasn't been informed about & neutral corner 50 she stands over top of Bobby and continues to punch while he's down. Steele, now refereeing, reaches a count of 4 and then skips to 10 to save Bobby what may be real punishment. Freddy Buys Her a Ticket. F THERE'S a lady among the spec- tators, Dave Miller, Steele’s man- ager, sneaks over to Gertie and in- forms her that Freddie's wife is sit- ting right over there. Freddie isn't married, but Gertie doesn't know it. She conquers her jealousy, but coun- ters with, “I can beat her.” Freddie has bought a ticket for Gertie. If he didn't take her, she'd probably hitch-hike to Griff Stadium and climb the wall.
