Title	Richards Studio A7338-3
Description	Seattle boxer Al Hostak, the "Savage Slav" and manager Eddie Marino look at decayed stairs leading to the former Commerce St. location of Marino's Olympic Athletic Club on June 25, 1938. Eddie Marino was an ex-Marine whose nickname was the "Little Sergeant." He had been in the boxing business for many years and had come close with many potential titleholders. His long wait finally was over; a month after this photograph was taken, Al Hostak would KO champion and Tacoma native Freddie Steele in the middleweight title fight. In a professional career that began at the age of 18, Hostak had 83 fights with 68 wins, 9 losses and 6 draws. (T.Times 6-25-38) ALBUM 9.
