	"Freddie Steele, Tacoma, was on top of the coast middleweight pile today, after stopping Fred Apostoli in the last round of their 10 round fight here last night. Steele and the young San Francisco bellhop put on a terrific battle, but the Tacoma veteran's experience told in the end. Steele was puzzled during the opening rounds by the crouching style employed by the former national amateur champion. Until the 6th they fought on fairly even terms, swinging furiously and slugging toe to toe. In the 6th Steele began boring in with a vicious body attack which so weakened Apostoli he fell down twice in the 9th without being hit. One minute after the last round got under way Referee Eddie Burns halted the contest to save Apostoli from further punishment." -Associated Press		"Freddie Steele, Tacoma, was on top of the coast middleweight pile today, after stopping Fred Apostoli in the last round of their 10 round fight here last night.
