Eddie Marino brought his protege Seattle boxer Al "Savage Slav" Hostak to Marino's former Commence St. location of his Olympic Athletic Club on June 25, 1938. Hostak, 22, would defeat Tacoma native and champion Freddie Steele the following month in Seattle for the U.S. and National Boxing Association middleweight title. Al Hostak would conclude his stellar career in 1949 as a two-time champion.
