CAMPOLO 'RETIRES'
 CREDITING SCHAAF WITH KNOCKOUT
Argentina Giant Folds Up in Seventh Round After Taking Severe Lacing -BOstonian Impress sive
BY DIXON STEWART Irnifnd prcss Staff COrreSnOndcnt

New York, Sept 1.-UP)- Ernie Schaaf, youthful Boston heavyweight, to-day was step nearer his goal-the worlds cham pionship and the Muldoon-Tunney trophy for which he served as model three years ago.
 Schaaf's advance was made at the expense of Victoria Campolo or Argentina, whose bid for cham pionship ranking came to an in- glorious end in the seventh round of a schedulued 12 round bout at Ebbetts field last night.
 Campolo Rctlrcs
 Schaaf won the bout when Cam polo-realizing he had little chance of fighting his way from behind to win-"retired" after 1:45 of the seventh round. The victory will go down in the record books as a knockout, Schaafs eighth consecu- tive knockout triumph, but in reality Campolo simply became tired, slid to the canvas and re- mained there until counted out.
 Campolo had taken considerable punishment prior to retiring and made brave showing. but there was nothing courageous in the the manner in which he finished the bout. Retiring" when there Is no chance of victory is recog- nized as the smart thing to do in the European ring. but in the American ring parlance the Ar genuine simply quit cold.
 Schaaf Looked Good.
 Schaaf was not particularly sem sational in winning but he was im- pressive and his showing stamped him. as a worthy foe for any of the other title contenders. The Bostonian, as usual, was slow and met hodical but he handled him self well and scored heavily both at infighting and in long range boxing.
 He offset Campolo's physical ad- vantage with his own excellent condition and finished the bout fresh and strong. Campolo was so leg and arm weary he would have been unable to continue much longer. even had he fought on until he actually was stopped.
 Strong Start But!
 Campolo started out in the first round like 0 sure winner and battered Schaaf about the ring. He used his hard smashing straight right to good advantage and showed an unexpectedly improved left. After this first furry, how ever, he tired badly and won only one more round, making a final desperate rally to take the sixth by slight margin, before retiring" in the seventh.
 Sc'haaf took Campolo's best punches in the first and then opened his own attack. where he never slowed down. He was par ticularly accurate with a hard left hook, with which he stopped Cam polo's bull-like rushes, and he weakened the Argentine badly with hard right hand smeshes to the body.

PARK OFFICIALS TO ALLOW LEAGUE
 TO CHARGE FANS
Board Members, Aiding "On to Cleveland" Drive, Vote to Tax Fans at Benefit Games

The "On to Cleveland" drive for funds to send the Brooklyn A. C. to compete in the national amateur baseball tourney was given a big boost yesterday when the board of park commissioners in session at the City Hall voted to permit the city league officials to charge ad- mission to two exhibition games to be played at Hamilton Park. It marks the first time that permis- sion has been given to charge an admission fee at the park.
 There was some discussion by board members as to the setting of precedent. but solution was reached when it was decided that the admission is to be charged in the two exhibition games only. The suggestion to permit the charging of admission was made by Attorney Thomas F. Moore, secretary of the park beard. He told the board members he had attended a couple of the exhibition games and found that the brand of ball played was not so much different from that played In organized ball. In the lineups of the teams visiting Wa big league caliber.
 It was Attorney Moore's opinion that small fee of admission for the bleacher seats would greatly assist in the raising of funds to send the Waterbury team to the competition. He said Tn the games he watched there must have been between 5000 and 5000 fans present. The board members voted to allow the admission fee to be charged with the amendment that the park department be free from any liability arising. The league officials are given authority under the vote to arrange the manner In which the fee is to be charged and to set the price.
