 New York, Feb. II - (U.P0 - Old Charley Harvey, one of the most pathetically picturesque fig ures the fight game has known, is dead. This great man. of another pugilistic era died broke and crip- pied. but still pondering the pug gle: what happened to Steve Hamas?"
 Harvey, 79 years old, died We'd nesday night while on his way to Madison Square Garden to witness the Tippy Larkin-Lulu Costantino fight. His best friends say Charley was lucky that he died before, and not after that bout, which was a dull lop-sided affair.
 It was purgatory for Charley to sit through lop-sided contest in his closing years-after he came back from Germany in 1935-after watching Max Schmeling "moider'' Steve Hamas at Hamburg and knock him out in the ninth round.

 Officially Charley Harvey died Wednesday night, but actually he died at Hamburg on the night of March 10, 1885, when Hamas, the

great hope of his entire life, was given one of the worst beatings any heavyweight ever took. Harvey was criticized afterwards for allowing Hamas to take his nine-round beat ing. His critics said he should have thrown in the towel early, when it became apparent that Hamas had no chance.
 But old Charley threw in no towel. Until the last. he couldn't believe what he saw. Charley man. aged Tom Heeney of New Zealand ill his heavyweight title tilt with Gene Tunney. He managed Seaman Tom Watson of England in his featherweight title try against Kid Chocolate. He managed hundreds of other fighters-many of whom he knew had no chance in their big-money fights.
 But the confidence of lifetime was concentrated in Hamas, the former Penn State football player, whom he regarded as the greatest heavyweight he ever saw. Hamas. a ripping, tearing ball of fire stimu- lated that confidence during most of his career. Although a college man, Hurricane Steve was one of the most explosively busy heavies ever to toss leather. Tn 1881, for example, he had Is bouts. of which he won 15 by quick knockouts and one by decision.
 Ancient Charley, who had made thousands of dollars in the fight game and lost it in real estate, was positive that his beloved pugil- ism would resurrect him when he saw young Hamas climax his climb to the top by giving Max Schmel- ing thorough beating at Philadel- phia, February 13, 1884. In October of that same year, Hamas won a 10-round decision over Art Lasky, menacing master of the left hook.
 With confidence, Harvey accepted return match with Schmeling at Hamburg for March 10, 1895.

 What happened to Hamas be- tween October and March, the world may never know truthfully. There were stories about his going society = of palling around with the upper r-strata gals.
