On January 1, the Bellingham American newspaper (Bellingham, WA, USA), at p. 6, said: "Steele is the classiest 100-pounder in these parts, and he is a big favorite with the fans." A few days later, on January 4, p. 6, the paper reported: "Freddie Steele is the third member of the [George] McAllister stable that will show on the card. Steele is believed by many fans to be a little bit the best looking boxing prospect uncovered here in a decade. The little 100-pounder has plenty of natural class which is coupled with an ability to use his head. He will be paired with George Wilson in the deuce spot."

On January 5, the Bellingham Herald reported: "Freddie Steele is a clever, fast, and aggressive little battler and his promotion to the deuce spot to meet George Wilson of Seattle on this evening's card is being applauded by local ring fans."
