Assembly Probe
Starts on
Boxing Charges

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL. CUP)-
The state assembly, public morals
committee opens hearings Friday on
boxing conditions in California but
southern California boxing inspec-
tor Willie Ritchie, who had made
sensational charges of Sinking
conditions" in the states rings, will
not be present.
California Athletic Commissioner
Jules Covey announced Thursday
night that Ritchie was at a ranch
somewhere in northern California"
suffering from near nervous
breakdown and would not attend
the meeting.
Although the meeting was pri-
marily called to study Referee Abe
Roth's handling of two southern
California fights, Ritchie's recent
charges of acknowledgements mani
pulation in the states boxing scene
had promised to hold the spotlight.
WRITTEN CHARGES
Ritchie had been expected to pro-
duce written charges of conditions
he had verbally blasted. Covey said,
however, he had not yet received
copy of the report which Ritchie
said he mailed Wednesday.
IF I get the letter Friday, I'm
going to advise the morals commit
tee to put it in vault and with
hold opening until Ritchie is able
to appear" Covey said. Il don't
think it would be fair to publicize
the letter if Ritchie isn't on hand
to face the men he is accusing,
presumably of some serious charg-
es."

E. w. Tinker, New York, secretary

a disastrous" shortage of paper
products this year unless congress
acts tc relieve the manpower situa-

fairs subcommittee considering legis-

BY JACK CUDDY


NEW YORK, Feb. IL CUP)-Old
Charley Harvey, one of the most
patheticall picturesque figures the
fight game has known, is dead
This great man" of another pugil-
istic era died broke and crippled,
but still pondering the puzzle
What happened to Steve Hamas?"
Harvey, 70 years DID, died We'd
nesday night while on his way to
Madison Square Garden to wit
ness the Tippy Larkin-Lulu Costan-
tino fight. His best friends say
Charley was lucky that he died be-
fore, and not after that bout, which
was dull lop-sided affair
HARD TO TAKE
1t was purgatcry for Charley to
sit through a lop-sided contest in
his closing years - after he came
back from Germany in l935-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 cne of the worst beatings
any heavyweight ever took. Harvey
was criticized afterwards for allow
ing Hamas to take this nine-round
beating. 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
managed Tom Heeney of New zea-
land in his heavyweight title tilt
with Gene Tunne. He managed
Seaman Tom Watson of England in
his featherweight title try against
Kid Chocolate. He managed hun
dredS of other fighterS-many of
whom he knew had no chance in
their big money fights.
GREATEST EVER
But the confidence of a 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 cne of
the most exploSively busy heavies
ever to toss leather. In 1881, for
example, he had 16 bouts. of which
he won Is by quick knockouts and
cne by decision.
Ancient Charley, who had made.
thousands of dollars in the fight
game-and lost it in real estate
was positive that he beloved pugil-
ism would resurrect him when he
saw young Hamas climax his climb
to the top by giving Max Schmel-
ing a thorough beating at Phila-
delphia, Feb. 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 accept
ed a return match with Schmeling
at Hamburg for March 10, 1885.
MAY NEVER KNOW
What happened to Hamas be-
tween October and March, the
world may never know truthfully.
There were stories about his going
