THOMORE YEARS Williams” Lonqueror Yearns | for Fun of Youth After 13 Years of Toil. BY BURTON HAWKINS, OST youths nurse ambitions to become fighters at some stage of their boyhood, but Freddie Steele, world mid- dleweight champion and probably the most popular puncher ever to invade this sector for a single scrap, will seek to recapture youth after two more years of flinging fists. Freddie, who left today by auto- ~mobile for Tacoma, Wash,, after tech- nically knocking out a courageous Hobo Willlams last night at Griffith Stadium in 2 minutes and 58 seconds of the eighth round, plans to enroll | at Washington State to complete his education and, at the same time, get some real fun out of life, Unmarked and resting easily after | chopping Hobo's face to a gory mess Freddie revealed he has known little | except fighting since he was 13 year: old and is becoming just a bit weary. Now 24, Steele plans two more years | of sacrificing himself to the fight | game—and compiling a healthy bank | roll—before going collegiate, | Rating Williams as tops in courage, | Freddie himself has been adjudged « .0ne of the finest sportsmen in fistiana. | When Ted Husing hopped up on the skirt of the ring and asked Steele to | speak & few words following his vic- | tory, Freddie ran to Hobo's corner, draped his arm around the battered Alexandria middleweight and gave Williams to a national hook-up. It was a grand gesture by a .modest, likable lad who completely captured local ringworms with his punching prowess and ring personality. Hobo Tops in Courage. RIPPING crisp blows as authorita- tive and damaging as most of | Hitler's edicts, Freddie nevmhele«s“ encountered more difficulty from | Hobo than he had anticipated. When | his attack was stripped of its effec- | tiveness by Steele's punishing blows, | 2 Hobo carried on through sheer cour- | age. | “If courage was ability, Hobo prob- | ably would have won," said Freddie in his dressing room. in paying trib- | ute to Williams, but they paid off on | ability plus courage last night and | Steele had both. Dropped for no count in the first round by a smokey left hook which literally lifted him off the floor, Hobo | gamely arose and altered his style mJ order to avoid Freddie's accurate lefts Hobo stuck inside, but was outscore 10 to 1 in that department, as the e¢hamp unveiled the most incessant body attack witnessed here in many months. | Although & threat until the seventh round, Hobo staggered Steele only once. That was in the fifth round when Freddie abeorbed a sharp right uppercut and then pranced into a left, | forcing Steele to clinch momentarily. | Heart Keeps Hobo Up. HENCEFORTH Hobo was about as steady as an antique chair under Kate Smith, remaining perpendicular only through a heart which was keyed %o the situation. Hobo certainly has no regrets for his showing, although he sobbed like a baby after the argu- ment. He won the admiration and re- spect of the 9.917 paying patrons and probably will be offered several entic- ing bouts as the result of his refusal to sag until physical punishment con- quered his courage. Steele, who is ruted one of the fast- est finishers in the business when he | has an opponent wobbly, wasted little time witn Hobo when he closed in for | the kiii in the eighth. Freddie backed him to the ropes, pumped both mitts to the head and Hobo sank for a count of eight. Williams arose groggily and Freddie | stepped in, shot a left and a right and Referee Charley Reynolds meroifully stopped the scrap as Hobo caved in’ again. The preliminaries were uniformly fine, with Joey Archibald qualifying for a crack at Lou Gevinson, local featherweight, by technically stopping Harry Gentile of New York after one minute of the sixth round semi-final. Hughes Stops Scrap. ‘JOEY, in recording his fifth consecu- tive victory here, dropped Gentile for nine counts in the second and fourth rounds and Referee Denny Hughes halted proceedings in the &ixth when Harry, battered and help- less, merely was fodder for a knockout. Outweighed by more than 50 pounds, Buck Everett, former District heavy- weight champion, absorbed a short right to the chin from bulky Eddie Hogan of New York and was disposed of in 2 minutes and 50 seconds of the first round. Max Roesch, the 20-year-old highly touted Texan, bumped into some | rather crisp left hooks dealt out by | courageous Eddie Caddorre, Rhode Island heavyweight, and dropped a #piit decision over a six-round route. Eddie was floored for no count in ~ the second round after wobbling crazily from a right cross to the chin, but danced away from Max's right in the final three stanzas, pumping lefts to the head to win. Woods Kayoes Mickey. W'ALT!,'R ‘WOODS, partially bald . New York middieweight, fulfilled glowing reports of his prowess by knocking out Mickey Flannagan, a local lad, after 2 minutes and 20 sec- onds of the second round. Pounded tn.the canvas for a count of one in the first heat, Mickey arose and battled valiantly, but futilely, against the polished Woods. A left hook gashed Mickey’s right eye and Walter followed with a stiff right to terminate the fuss. In the most comical bout of the sea- son, Battling Zuzu, local colored mid- eision from his royal highness, Prince Albert, but that merely was incidental. The Prince twice was battered to the canvas, but arose and gave the specta- tors everything but a minstrel show as he staggered about the ring, refusing to sink. E Bullock Improves to Win. BMY BULLOCK, vastly improved local featherweight, captured the decision from Frankie de Angelo, another local larruper, in a fast four- round opener. Referee Ray Bowen, who worked the first three preliminaries, made an im- pressive debut as an arbiter, dling the bouts efficiently. ‘The gross gate for the show was N < Bozing moguls chat between rounds.

By dhe Associated Press. LD ORCHARD BEACH, Me, July 22 —Twilight 8ong, the little bay filly from Brooklyn, still looked good today for the Hambletonian, although third- money horse in yesterday's advance showing here of the Goshen classic. Gunar, the one horse among 12 starters not eligible for the Hamble- tonian, captured the National stake for 3-year-olds, worth $8,879 and the “tops” of the day’s Grand Circuit eard. ‘The bay colt, owned by M. B. Dodd,| Norfolk, Conn,, won only after the stake had gone into a fourth and extra heat. He placed third, third, firat, first. Paul Bowser's De Sota ranked sec- ond, and his 2:02, for the first heat was the fastest time for a 3-year-old this year. De Sota, a bay colt, was first, tenth, second and third. W. H. Strang's Twilight Song ran Second, first, fourth and third. South- land, a brown filly from P. W. Chellis’ Greenwich, Conn,, stables, took fourth money, scoring sixth, second and tenth. Vie Fleming, who drove Gunar, also led in six other dashes. He is the cir- cuit'’s No. 1 reinsman to date. SLEUTHS’ HURLER STINGY.

Cripple of Year Ago Strives To Regain Horseshoe Throne A MAN who'a year ago thought he might never walk again will be A leading contender for the Maryland horseshoe pitching championship in The Star's ninth annual tournament wnich starts next Monday with a qualifying round for pitchers of Mary- land, Virginia and Washington. Joe Merryman of Bladensburg is up and doing after many months, during which it was doubtful that his skinny legs would mend completely from com- pound fractures sustained when an auto hit him. He's a little wobbly on the pins even now, but- gaining strength steadily pitching horseshoes. Merryman, former State champion, served notice on the Old Line title aspirants by beating Clayton Henson, Virginia title holder, in one game out of three-they hurled in a match that helped christen the Municipal Play- grounds’ ringer layout at McMillan Park. Has Two Tough Rivals. HIS main rivals in Maryland will be the current champion, Temp Jarrell of Hyattsville, and Lee Flesh- man of Rogers Heights. Fleshman goes into the tournament a favorite in apite of Jarrell's occupancy of the State throne. All Summer he has been a leading performer in the Dis- trict Suburban and Metropolitan Sin- gles Leagues. That Jarrell and Fléshman figure to beat him is largely of Merryman's own conniving. He taught both the fine points of flinging ringers. The 100-shoe qualifying test will get under way Monday night at Me- Millan, and continue through Friday. Sixteen high scorers from each of the sectors — Maryland, Virginia and ‘Washington—will continue on into eliminations for the three titles and 16 stars from these play-offs will shoot it out for one of the most highly prized horseshoe crowns in the coun- try—that of champion of metropolitan Washington, in reality the champion of Maryland, Virginia and Washing- ton. The entire tournament will be played on the McMillan courts, which have been pronounced one of the finest ringer layouts extant. Bernard McCarty of the playground head- quarters staff will direct competition. Some new faces will be seen in the annual McLean, Va., carnival tourna- ment to be held August 4. Raymond L.

Others certain to be chosen by Henry Huschke, tournament chair- |man, are Temp Jarrell and Lee | Fleshman of Maryland and Clayton | Henson of Virginia. With new talent abundant in Washington and only eight plavers to compete, the other four spots will take a lot of choosing. Roy Wilson, a former McLean win- ner; Charley Heleker, Francis Bat- tiste, Bill Woodfield, Harry Saunders, former Washington and metropolitan champion; Jos Walsh of the Univer- sity of Maryland, District intercol- legiate titleholder, and George C. Thompeon of Falls Church, former Virginia State champion, who may try a comeback after a season out of serious competition. Frye a Fancy Twirler. FRY‘E will be the big attraction at McLean and also in The Star tournament. “Deadpan” has blos- somed forth as a trick-shot artist and likely will be called upon for exhibi- tions both at McLean and McMillan. He is said to be quite as skilled in fancy twirling as the world champion, Ted Allen, whose performances on the stage of the Capitol Theater last Win- ter fascinated even the folk not in- terested in the game. With Bill Moore, the 1936 District and metropolitan title winner removed to Ohio in Government service, Frye will be an outstanding favorite to re- gain the metropolitan crown taken from him by Moore. He also will go for the Virginia title, won last year for the nth time by Henson. SEEK DIAMOND GAME. ‘The Washington Grove base ball team wants a game for Saturday after- noon.
