FUTILE
Professional Boxing Is Dealt
Severe Blow by Death OF
Prominent Fighter
BY DAVIS j. WALSH
ternationaI News Service Sports Editor

International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Feb. IA GIN.
S. .).-Ernie Schaaf, of Boston,
ranking heavyweight boxer,
who was knocked out by Primo
Carnera, giant Italian, in the
thirteenth round of their bout
at Madison Square Garden Fri
day night, died at 4 20 a. m. to-
day in Polytechnic Hospital.
The fighters life had been
iespaired of since yesterday after
noon, when a delicate operation,
which consumed more than three
hours, was performed to relieve
intra-cranial pressure caused by a
deep-seated blood clot and odema
of the brain.
Mother At Bedside
Death came to the boxer while
his mother, Mrs. Lucy Schaaf;
his father and sisters. his mana.
ger, Johnny Buckley. and a priest
grieved at the bedside.
Schaaf had failed to recognize
them just before the surgeons
operated in a desperate attempt
to stop the brain hemorrhage.
Ernie became much weaker
after midnight and his relatives
cYVVNaOONNNnI m tho hnHciHn
shortly before he expired.
The nervous and heart-broken
group gathered around the cot
and looked down on the boy who
had been so strong and vigorous
but few short days ago.
The mother bravely choked
back sobs, while the others tried
to be brave.
AS a final gesture Mrs. Schaaf
placed two lighted candles, sym.
bolic of his Catholic faith, in his
hands and he expired a short
time later.
It was then that the courage
that carried Mrs. Schaaf and her
children through these past three
days Of torture gave way.
The Schaaf family will return
home to Sheldonville, Mass, &C.
cording to present plans. Schaaf'S
body will be sent there today in
a steel casket.
Burial in Mass.
No services will be held here
and the burial will be from the
Schaaf home in Sheldonville on
Friday.
Manager Buckley advised Mrs.
Schaaf to sell her Sheldonville
home and move back to Elizabeth,
N. j., among her old friends. The
SchaafS lived in Elizabeth for
many years and it was there
that Ernie was born in 1908.
Buckley wired Jack Sharkey
yesterday in Miami, Fla, where
the champion had gone for a va
cation, informing him of Schaaf's
dangerous condition and asking
him to return Immediately.
Detectives from the homicide
squad were in charge of Cameras
quarters at downtown hotel
when he aWoke this morning to
learn that Schaaf had died.

(Picture on Page p

The man he claims broke up
his home and stole his wife 9
love is believed responsible
for mysterious tear gas at
tack on William B. Hope, the
victim said today at Gallinger
Hospital, where he is under
treatment,
Hope, who is 54 and lives in
the $500 block of Holmead Pl.
N. W., was standing waiting for
a street car at Fourteenth and
u Streets N. w. last night wf1en
the man ran up to him, sprayed
the gas IN his fact, and vanished.
Sought by P0lice
The man answered the general
description of the third person in
the domestic triangle, Hope said.
Police are searching for the man
to question him.
Hope, suffering burns to his
face and eyes, will be kept at
the hospital for several days.
Bewildered by the attack, Hope
said:
"This man is the only
enemy / know 1 have in the
world. He came into my life
seven years ago when he met
my wife. Although he was a
married man with grown chill
dren, he fell in love with her.
FINALLY LEFT HIM
"The affair went on for two
years, with my knowing moth
ing about it until one day I
came home to find my wife
packing. She said she was
leaving me and going to live
with this man, as she loved
him."
Despite his pleading, Hope
said, his wife deserted him and
has been living with the other
man for the last five years,
never applying for a divorce.
Hope said that he could not
understand the motive back of
the attack made last night.
