THAT'S WHERE HOSTAK STARTED

AL HOSTAK of Seattle, the new middleweight champion of the world, is next to the youngest in a family of six. . . . He started fighting in a fire station and became | accustomed to answering the bell early in life. . . . The 22-year-old puncher climbed into the ring for a professional bout for the first time five years ago and has had 71 matches, the last 16 ending in knockouts with opponents

on the receiving side.

Two or three times Hostak thought he would quit the ring while he climbed the ladder, but he always came back. . . . His father, a glass worker who brought his trade from Czechoslovakia, told him that he had no objection to his fighting but he wanted him to be a good fisticuffer. The new king of the 160-pounders was born in Minneapolis in 1916, his parents moved to the Puget Sound country in 1927 and he has lived there since.

OSTAK has accumulated little money thus far in his career, but he has given his parents and those brothers and sisters who-still live at home a new house, bought a service station, which his oldest brother: operates, and pur-

chased a farm.

Hostak’s father has seen all of his fights. . . . His mother never goes. . . . The champion, who is known as the Savage Slav in Seattle, is a calm, methodical fighter, depending more on his powerful punch than on boxing

A SOUTHPAW first-string receiver is proving a boon this season, both on the field and at the gate, to the Salisbury club of the

Eastern Shore League. .

, He is Lewis (Lou) Haneles, a husky Jew-

This spring, he went south with

. And now, says Manager Jake Flowers of Salisbury: “I was skeptical about Lou up to a fortnight ago, when I sent him in behind the plate, but since then, he has been catching regularly and I am thoroughly sold on him.” - New fans have been appearing at the Salisbury club’s games—per-

.sons curious to see the performances of the unorthodox-type windpad

artist, who was batting .286 when the latest averages appeared.

R the first time in the histoly of Florida racing the horses will

run in the morning for one day next season. .

Commission, in fixing dates for the racing meets, directed Tropical Park to operate in the morning on Jan. 2, the date of the Orange bowl football game in Miami.

Indians to Return After al Battles in Columbus; Blow in Eighth.

Still trailing the league leading Saints by four games, the Indian-

apolis Indians left for Columbus today to open a three-game series with the Red Birds tonight. A double-header is scheduled in the Buckeye capital city tomorrow afternoon, and on Sunday the Redskins will be back at Perry Stadium to meet the Louisville Colonels in a twin attraction. The Tribesters muffed a grand chance here last night when they lost to the Birds after gaining a 4-to-3 lead at the end of the seventh. Since St. Paul Jost to Kansas City, a victory for the In‘dians in the Columbus finale would have whittled the Apostles’ margin to three games.

Fold in Eighth

The Redskins exploded like a firecracker in the eighth. Danny Taylor was safe on Mesner’s low throw on an easy chance. Bud Hasson belted a single off Bob Latshaw’s glove and Taylor hustled to third. Art Garibaldi drilled a single through Buck Fausett at third, scoring Taylor with the tying run. Earl Brown beat out a bunt, filling the sacks, and Lloyd Johnson, Tribe southpaw, was derricked in favor of Paul Epperly. Shorty Ankenman drilled a single over second, scoring Hasson and Garibaldi, before the Indians succeeded in checking the attack. Three runs, four straight hits, one error formed the inning summary. The Redskins got two runners on in the ninth after two down but a running catch by King in center on Galatzer’s line drive dropped the curtain on the fracas, giving Columbus the game, 6 to 4.

Three in Fourth

The Tribe had a big inning in the fourth and tallied three times on Nate Andrews by virtue of a walk, three singles and Mesner’s double. The home athletes chalked a fourth marker in the seventh on Fausett’s single and Sherlock’s double. : The Birds got to Johnson for two runs in the fourth when Brown walloped a double with two mates aboard. Thejr third run came in the fifth on Bucher’s single, Taylor's walk and Hasson’s single. Fausett led the Tribe offense with three safeties and Chapman emerged from a slump to get a pair. Catcher Mike Ryba of the Birds was banished in the eighth after a run-in with Umpire Genshlea. The teams split the four-game series.

Vance Page to

Have a ‘Day’ Vance Page, the Indians’ 15-game winner, is to be honored at Perry Stadium Sunday and will pitch one of the games against Louisville, Ray Schalk, Tribe pilot, announced. The star right-hander is to receive a fitting gift from the management. Vance has kept the Indians in the race since the start of the season and is reported headed for the majors.

King Carl Ends Terrymen's Losing Dive With Old Southpaw Cunning.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 29.—That’s why they call him the meal ticket.
