Boston. January 27 UP) = Rugged. methodical Ernie Schaaf. local heavyweight, easily outpointed Dick Daniels, Minneapolis heavy weight. in 10-round bout at Bos- ton arena last night.
 After battling the hurley Boston, ian on even terms for the first five rounds. Daniels .wilted under slow but steady pounding. The last five rounds were Schaaf's by wide mar gin and several times. especially in the seventh and eighth rounds, the westerner was in danger of being knocked out.
 Schaaf concentrated on the body, blasting away with both hands.
 His right was particularly accurate and effective both to the body and head. It was the right to the body that took the steam out of Daniels.
 Daniels tried valiantly to land his vaunted right but Schaaf was mak- ing him miss repeatedly. Schaaf weighed 200 and Daniels 1855.

MICKEY WALKER TO.BOX RISKO IN
 MIAMI FEB "A
By HENRY McLEMORE

New York, Jan 27-CUP)-Com. petition the life of trade, not to mention tie old one about elephants never forgetting. Mickey Walker and Johnny isisko will meet in Miami, Fla, on February "A, just one week before Frank Buren presents Primo Carnera and Jimmy Maloney to the sun-tanned natives
 Bruen. one-time general manager of Madison Square. Garden, an- nounced his extravaganza several weeks ago; the Walker Risko oppo- sition thing was announced only yes- terday with Pa Stribling as the straw promoter. By straw promoter we mean that many of the boys and girls are convinced that Pa" is nothing more than a front for the Garden in an attempt to put the chill on an old employees show.
 Garden RcnOunccs Claim.
 The Garden has renounced all claim to the show. pointing out that Walker is suspendel in this state and to deal with Mickey would lead to all sort of complications with the New York boxing commis- sion. The Garden did admit, how ever, that it's Miami stadium has been leased to the elder Stribling for his show. Stribling, in turn, probably will rent it to, Bruen.
 Pas show will be much more than just q meeting between the middleweight king and the Cleve- land Baker Boy. Two of the extra attractoins will be the personal ap- pearance of w.. l.. Young" Strib- ling and Max Schmeling. w. l.. and Max will box several rounds with 1 SDarrinp mariner
 Schnleling Due To-day.
 Schmeling. by the way, is sched- uled to arirve to-day on the liner Europa. The Europa is scheduled to dock at 6 D. m. and Joe Jacobs, manager of the champion. will head the receiving line. Max will be- ac- companied by Max Machon, his trainc.,.
 r MaXie will remain here until time for his departure on the barn storming tour that will carry him into some 5S cities and villages. He will rest for two weeks following the conclusion of his tour and then start work for his title fight with Stribling in June.
 Jacobs will not select a training site until the place of battle has been definitely decided upon.

The local schoolboys will be in charge of Frankie Conroy. pinch hittnig for Coach Billy Schofield who is stil confined to his home with the grippe. The blue and white boys went strong against Wilby with Conroy tutoring, but went vice. versa against Central Saturday night. What they'll do tonight re- mains to be seen.
 Naugy Went Stale. Too! Against Warren Harding Satur- day Pete Foley's club looked like grammar school players. Bubbles" Balinsky was put on the spot in that game and when he was stopped so was Naugatuck. If Ike Kern can check this youngster tonight it would be safe to put your pennies on the classical schol students, but 1t is doubtful.
 Watch This Boy!
 Balinsky should be one of the best athletes Pete Foley has turned out at the Naugy institution in should be a widely heralded star as senior He can dribble, pass, pivot teint and handle the ball as good, If not better, than any player who'll compete on the Wilby floor tonight.

In the main attraction, Lee wyc3ff the St Louis University grade who gave Gus Sonnenberg such a tuss.e three weeks ago, takes to the mat with Irish Jack Malloney. six foot six inch grappler from Boston who tips the beans at 250 pounds in his bare feet
 The Irisher is expected to afford the St Louisan q tough rassle. His speciality is a destructive head sc.s- sors grip which has won many a match for him against some of the country's leading wrestlers. Wycoff on the other hand is well known to mat followers who are more than anxious 10 see him here at popular prices.
 Mammas to Show.
 Handsome Harry Mammas of Greece and Fred Carone of France, final which should rival the main go as a thrill furnisher. The Greek grappler showed in this city last year when he threw some Irisher out of the ring at St Joseph's hail. His showing again is good news to Waterbury fans.
 Another Zybysko.
 John Podubny, 215 pounds. the lad who is claimed to be another Stan Zyb., sko, makes his first show ing in this city meeting Tony Cata- limo if Italy in the opening boat. The latter tips the Fairbanks at 21O pounds and has shown considerable promises in his last four bouts. The first match we'll get underway at 8:S0 o'clock.

LARGE CROWD SEES M'MILLEN THROWN
 BY JIM L0NDOS

New York, Jan 27.-UP)-What was claimed to have been a record crowd at Madison Square Garden last night saw Jim Londos. "Greek Adonis,' successfully defend his claim to the worlds heavyweight wrestling championship in an en- gagement with Jim McMillen. for ner U, of Illinois football player.
 The bout ended after 56 minutes and 54 seconds of rolling, grappling, grunting and grooming. The de- ciding hold was full neulson. Lon dos weighed 200 and McMillen 216.
 The attendance was announced of- ficially as 22.200. The receipts were $59,496.50. The crowd was nearly four times as large as the one at the weeks feature boxing bout last Friday when about 5000 attended. Thousands were denied admission last night.

PLENTY OF ACTION
 AT GARDEN FRIDAY

Kid Francis, the little Italian lad, who has fought in nearly every country where boxing is permitted. probably will be the next man Featherweight Champion Bat Bat talino will face in defense of his title. It all depends on how Francis fares in impending bouts. He reg istered in the Garden when he beat Jimmy Slavin and now if he can give Pete DeGrasse thorough beat ing in their ten round bout in Madl- son Square Garden on Friday night, the first step towards a champion ship bout will be made. Francis will endeavor to get a bout with Kid Chocolate, when the latter returns to this country and if he wins that one, he will be right in line for the titular event.
 Like Francis. Tony Herrera, the Mexican lad, who meets Sammy Dorfman in the semi-final to the Berg and Uerllick bout on Friday is a potential champion. The little Mex has been going along rolling m a hitting record that was his name sake's generation ago. Tony has been knocking them out olten and among them was Joe CLICK Augie Pisano and Eddie Kid Na@- ner and if he can dump Dorfman he will be nearer the spot or ms ambition then ever before.
 Herman Perlick has engaged in about 60 fights in his three and one half years of boxing and in that time has drawn down about S5O,0oo in purses He is of the modern kind saving his money and has bought q home for his widowed mother and kid brother out in Kalamazoo, Mich.
 The only time that Herman Per- lick did not finish fight was when the one with Joey Goodman was stopped because of cut over Her mans eye. He tried to get Good man again but Joey thought bet ter of it and took on others than Herman.
 Berg has been through the mill of experience, and some of their marks are left on him. Bad man agement brought him into fights with such as Sammy Mandell, then the champion, Armando santiago. Sollv Seamon. Bruce Flowers ana that kind before he had been Tn the ring a very long time. Now he is taking it easily and picking ur more knowledge of the game than he had chance 10 learn from the champions and near champions
 Jack Dempsey refereed Herman s last fight which was against Bobby Burns. of Baltimore and the way Herman treated Bobby evoked many praises from the old champion. who said that Herman is bound to mak" a name for himself in the ring be- fore long. Tn that bout in Balti- more, Perlick and Burns drew the biggest house the city has had in long time. More than $S.OOo was taken in, proving that Perlick is a inc drawing card.

Blue Ribbons Win
 From Bay Staters

After the regular session between the Blue Ribbons and the Wake field Pilgrims had terminated on Sunday and the players were con- tentedly resting after feeding the inner man, some one suggested a few more games before the Bay Staters left for home.
 Red Millar and O'Lindy offered to roll any two of the Blue Ribbons that Manager Frank Barber might select, a series of 10 games. Nick Tronsky and Mike Bogino was the Connecticut choice. and the Hart ford New Britain combination rolled so well that they won nine games and easily passed the official record of 2433 held by Tom Mayhew and Johnny Naeth of Washington. Due to the fact that the games were not rolled in regular tournament game no recognition can be officially giv- en to the record Nick Tronski was again supreme and sandwiches four big games in with his regular ones so that he finished with an average of 131.
