DEMPSEY HAS PLUG FOR HOSTAK

New York boxing commissioners

are accused of being silly in refusing

FRIDAY, , AUGUST 5 1988

to recognize Hostak's «titular claims.

Such antics by the commissioners hardly constitute a novelty.

IN Jack Dempsey’ s opinion Al Hostak, the Seattle Thun-

derbolt, is the best middleweight knuckleduster he ever

saw and a certainty to flatten Fred Apostoli, when and if they meet. . . . The old Manassa Mauler refereed Hostak’s annihilation of Freddie Steele and says Al is no flash in the ' pan as a pugilistic cannon cracker. After returning East, Dempsey told friends he was "completely sold on the new middleweight\champion and described his impressions, in part as follows: “The kid’s a terrific hitter. . . . Rough and ready. . se - Swings every second. . . . His punches are short and fast. ~...So fast you can’t see them. . . .He’s all over his man. ... Had to pull him away when he knocked Steele down.

“Got long; heavy muscles, thick neck and short legs. -

. . « Something like Henry Armstrong, only his punches have more power. ... Better than all the middleweights I remember, including Mickey Walker.” ® ” 8 o ®2 » EMPSEY expressed his belief that Hostak is the Tod middleweight title holder regardless of any action by the New York Athletic Commission. . . . His comment is interesting. . . . “The Seattle boy won his crown in the ring,

and that’s the only place a title can be won or lost. ... . Not -

his fault that Steele got away with a non-title fight in New York when he was knocked out by Apostoli last-winter.”, os Steele had the championship up when he met Hostak. . . . The boy was at weight ang won. . .. So why shouldn’t he get it? . Jack, who has seen other leading middleweights in action—Apostoli, Glen Lee and Young’ Corbett—Ilikes Hostak over all of them. “Apostoli doesn’t do enough leading. . . . He’ s made to order for Hostak. . . . Hostak will swarm all over him, hurt him with his snappy punches and knock him out. . “Lee wouldn’t give Hostak any trouble. . . . The kind

that will bother Hostak are the runaways like Corbett, but - he'd catch them after a while.”

INCINNATI'S Red Raiders will return to their native terrain on Aug. 9 for a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs. . . . This

series will mark ‘the first time the Reds and Cubs have met since

‘Gabby Hartnett took over leadership of the Bruins. . The next night game at Crosley Field will be on Aug. 12, with the Cardinals supplying the visiting attraction. Hartnett has lost 10 pounds since he was elevated to the Chicago saddle. . . . Beating the Giants two out of three probably restored Gabby’s appetite. . . . Still, his team opens a series today with the unpredictable Boston Bees, who upped and beat the pacesetting Pirates yesterday.

$100,000 Price On Hutchinson

SEATTLE, Aug. 5 (U. P.). — A price tag marked “for sale, $100,000,” was hung today on 18-year-old Fred Hutchinson, another “boy wonder,” who pitches for the Seattle Rainiers

in the Pacific Coest League.

Scouts from. at -least five .major league teams would like to grab him. But Emil G. Sick, president of the club, isn't in a hurry to sell this youth, whose father gave him a baseball instead of a rattle io

play with when he was a baby. Young Hutchinson joined the

1 Rainiers this year, and so far has

won 17 and lost six. His manager, Jack Lelivelt, describes him as the best prospect he ever has seen—and

‘Lelivelt has been watching them for

32 years. Hutchinson stands 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 200 pounds. He is strong enough to stand considerable | work, but Lelivelt has used him only

Hartnett Benches Veterans

By GEORGE KIRKSEY ‘United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 5—Gabby Harte nett’s brief speech to the Chicago Cubs when he was elevated to the boss man’s job July .20 was: “Win or else.” : Hartnett wasn’t kidding, either. In one of the most drastic moves of the baseball season the big, bluster ing catcher-manager benched two of the Cubs’ highest-priced stars, Rip Collins and Frank Demaree, yesterday following Wednesday's defeat by the Giants. He yanked Phil Cavarretta in from the outfield and put him on firs} base in Collins’ place. He sent rookie Jim Asbell in right field in Demaree’s spot. The shift had an electrifying effect upon the entire - ball club. Cavarretta didn’t make any hits but fielded flawlessly at first. = Asbell tipped out two line singles and scored two runs. The Cubs played like champions as Whey knocked off the Giants, 6-0..
