KRNIE (Slow but Sure) SCHAAF, the strong, silent ' sailor who quit the Navy to become a heavyweight fighter, thinks he will be champion of all the world by the time next Summer rolls around. Ernest expects to be the man in the opposite corner when Jack Sharkey* enters the ring next June to defend his title. With Baer and Sehmeling lined up to box for Dempsey next summer, the only available opponents for Sharkey in the scheduled June bout are Schaaf and Camera. Ernie expects to first dispose of the Man Mountain and then figures himself a sure thing to capture the crown when he meets his old boss Sharkey in the title bout. Schaaf had his ups and downs last year At the start of 1932 he was rated the third best heavyweight in the world, right behind Sehmeling and Sharkey. Then, without warning, he began to hit the skidr He ’'"i-ely eked “ i win over Jack Cross—a third rate fighter—in a bout at Madison Square Carden. He looked even worse in winning n chve decision

THE THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM! Great going. Yellow Jackets. It was a real ball game, well worth anybody’s time and money. We had a nice time, did you? The Yellow Jackets put on a | wonderful exhibition of foul shooting as they should be shot. Twelvel out of 15. Good enough for any- ‘ one’s ball club. The only thing absent last night was the presence of Buck, conductor of “Out of Bounds" in the Bluff I ton News-Banner. Must have had a bad case of cold feel at the last minute. His absence cost us a large portion of the sweets of victory. We will give Buck credit for sending a worthy substitute to the score bench in the person I of one Roger G. Swaim. Roger conducted Rip-Offs in the Bluffton News several years ago. He seemed to enjoy the ball game, except for the final score. These overtime battles are a little hard on the nerves but we like them Just the same. If you were on pins acd needles laai night, how

over the shop-worn Paulino in a 15round agony bout early last SumFrom these miserable exhibitions it was easy to see that large Ernest was getting nowhere with alarming rapidity. It was noised ar.-out that Schaaf was not keeping his nose to the training grindstone. The boys said that he had a swelled head and that he bad developed a “society” complex. It seems that the big blond belter had been “taken up” by some members of the so-called smart rot: and Mr. Schaaf spent his t-ffi.-. going to parties and night clubs instead of going to bed early and working out at the gym It was the same old story, and it had the inevitable ending. Ernest was matched to fight Max Baer at Chicago, and c- he had already licked Baer in a previous clash Schaaf continued to neglect his i training. He had lost interest in i the fight racket, and had become absorbed in the business of becoming a social light He affected an Oxford accent a la Gene Tunney*. Then came the big crash Baer, who doesn’t go around with society '
