SCHAAF DEATH.
BLOW FARLEY

The boxing world lost one of it's
bestowed young ringmen in the
death of Ernie Schaaf, James A.
Farley, chairman of the New York
State Boxing Commission, de-
clared today when informed OF
the death of the Boston heavy
weight.
Farley arrived here early today
from the South to make final
preparations for the arrival OF
President-elect Roosevelt.
Ernie Schaaf was one of the
best-mannered ring men it has
been my pleasure to meet" said
the boxing commissioner, "and
his death is a sad blow to the
boxing profession"
Referring to the blow struck by
Carnera, his opponent in the
fatal New York exhibition, Farley
said:
81 have been absent from New
York for several weeks and
therefore am not cOnversant
with the details of the fight or
the preparations for it,"
Farley said he had read of
charges that the fight was off
color" and of the belief that
Schaaf was shamming when he
took the count, but was unwilling
to discuss this phase until he
could give the matter minute
study.

Fighting Is Tougher

Joe says he has actually com.
peted in more than 5000
matches in his day and doubts
If the amount he has received
for them would average more
than SIS per match. Wrestlers
are born, not made, declares
Joe, that feeling making him
decide after his schoolboy
scuffle, to follow the mat, first
for fun and then professionally.
More than once after he de-
cided to make his living on the
canvas did he have to borrow
railroad fare to get back to
Washington.
Comparing the wrestling
game to the fight game, Turner
believes the boxer has the
hardest, most strenuous task of
the two and that the life of a
wrestler was longer because he
doesn't take as much punish
ment as does the boxer.
"The constant pounding on
the heart and chin received by
q boxer" declares Turner,
NATURALLY has its effect and
takes a terrific toll of his
vitality and tells in the long
grind.
"While the wrestling game is
mot chiId'S play-and if you
think so, just try taking a
couple Of those body slams fol-
lowing an airplane Spin-it is
much less fatiguing because a
wrestler has many moments in
which he can rest, particularly
when lying on the mat in a
clinch waiting for an OppOr-
tunity to put an antagonist on
his back to get q fall.
"The boxing match is cut up
into rounds with only a min
ute's rest, the remainder being
action of one sort Of another
whereas in a wrestling match
there are many moments to
catch ones BREATH"

time when we'll advanced along
the path to the heavyweight
championship. He first showed
liking for boxing while in the
navy, and met Jack Sharkey who
later was to become titleholder.
Born September 81, 1908, at
Elizabeth, N. j., of German
French and American parents, he
started his professional boxing
career in 1925 engaging in four
fights, winning all of them, two
by the knockout route. Sergt. Jim
Harvey and Sailor Sampson were
the victims of the hard right
hand punch that later carried
him to greater triumph.

realize now what a game boy
Ernie was. Maybe their con-

they remember how they stood

The promoter wouldn't specu-

Schaaf's death would have on
the scheduled Sharkey-Carnera
title fight in June. But he was
emphatic in his prediction that
the tragedy would have no per-
manent adverse effect on boxing.

"Fewer men are killed in box

he pointed out. "And you don't
see many colleges dropping

eenth century the red British ensign carrying
the union jack in the canton. The British flag
was altered after the Revolution had begun by
placing 13 stripes in the fly of the flag under the
British union jack.
II was called the grand union flag" and was
hoisted by Lieut.. John Paul Jones on December
3, 1775, in the newly formed American fleet off
Philadelphia. On January ! or ., 1776, it was
raised over the newly organized American army
at Washington's headquarters IN Cambridge In
the correspondence of that day ii referred
to the american colOrs." II is interesting
to note that although these American colors
were used six months before the Declaration of
Independence they still carried the British union
jack in the corner. The thirteen united colonies
depicted by the thirteen stripes of the field.
No flag was authorized by act of congress un-
til nearly year after the Declaration of Inde-
pendence That the grand union" flag was lit
tie used in the army is from the many flags
of other designs carried by the Revolutionary
troops. In the navy, on account of the necessity
of telling a friend from foe by his colors the
same flag was generally used by all congress
ships.
In 1775 it was usually the pile tree flag; in
1776, and until June a. 1777. the grand union,
and after June IA, 17T7, the Stars and Stripes.
Privateers carried striped and rattlesnake flags
or various designs DuL IL soon became necessary
to carry uniform design, and this forced the
adoption of a national flag. This is why the
resolution for the adoption of the stars and
stripes appeared in the minutes of the marine
committee meeting of June IA, 1777.
Because green was such a prominent color in
early Revolutionary war flags, it would not have
been at all surprising if that color had found its
way into the national emblem. One of the most
striking flags of the Revolution was a flag with
green fly and a union of 13 links in an endless
chain Outside the circle of links was circle of
Is hands or mailed fists emerging from clouds
and grasping the links. In the center of the
chain was a pine tree of green on a blue field.
This was the flag of the Newburyport (Mass.)
COMPANY Green was also the color of the pine
tree and liberty tree flags of Revolutionary days,
In April, 1776, the Massachusetts council pre-
scribed green and white as the uniform of Off
GERS in their sea service, and in the same year
the marine committee of the Continental con-
gress in Philadelphia resolved that the uniform
of marine officers be a green coat white waist

Takes Money, Leaves
Checks, OverlOOks 81

Seven dollars in cash was stolen
while two large checks were left un-
touched Saturday afternoon by
a thief who ransacked a pocketbook
lost by Mrs. John Vierling of Wabas-
so and then put the purse back in her
car which was parked on the street
here.
Mrs. Vierling first noticed her
pocketbook was gone about p. m.
and notified police and county officials
as two checks were made out to her
from the Rowena elevator. A search
was made of the streets but no purse
was found.
When she returned to her car she
found the pocketbook in the back seat
minus the currency and silver which
amounted to little more than 81. The
checks were untouched.
Two dollars in currency was still
concealed in an envelope and was not
noticed by the thieves. She stated
that she must have dropped the pock-
etbook when walking down the street
and that it was picked up by someone
who knew her car.
