NEW YORK, Feb. 14. Pi Blonde
role Senear, the boy 30,000 howling
fane called ft faker, died early today
in Polyclinic hospital from the effects
of the beating Prlmo Oaxnera gare

prlw ring laat. Friday night.
Re died at 4:.8 a. m., without r
gaining consciousness, after an op
eration on his brain yesterday to w

area.
Was Likeable Chap.
Schaaf was one of the moat likeable
of all the young ring men.
Thus, with tragedy such as New
Tork boilng fans haa not known since
a Sunday morning In 1924, when lit
tle Jerome died as a result of the
beating he took from Bud Taylor, did
the tow-headed youngster who always
wanted to be ft priest, answer with
his lit the critics who thought ha
"laid down" to Camera so that hts
part-manager, Champion Jack Shar
key, could have an outstanding title
ohaiienger In June.
- For several hours last night, It
seemed that the cruolal operation
performed by Dr. Byron Stokey yes
terday, when relief from an intra-
eranlal hemorrhage became impera
tive, would save Schaafs life. At
sight his condition was excellent,
though he had not regained con
sciousness. Relatives Called.
But about S a. m. his condition
took a sudden change for the worae.
Hastily, his mother, Mrs. Lucy Schaaf;
a sister, Mrs. May Daley; his heart
broken manager, Johnny Buckler,
nd ft nearby parish priest were called
to the bedside In Polycllnlo hosDltol
As his life ebbed away they prayed,
A house physician left for the alow
' tng pulse. A candle In one of flchaaf'a
-hands burned low. As the doctor
finally shook his head and loosed the
other hand, wrapped In rosary beads,

"He's gone," she whispered. "My

As soon as word reached police

dateotlvaa were sent to Cameras ho

homicide squad previously had exon
erated all concerned of criminal neg
ligence, a new investigation was ordered.
ocnaaf died only after a terrlfle
light in which eminent brain spec
ialists were enroUed. The blonde tar
was knocked unconscious by a left
Jab to the face In the 13th round of
a Jo-round match Friday night.
One Lucid Moment.
Schaaf had but one lucid moment
before the operation, when hla moth
er, his constant companion, managed
to rouse him briefly from his coma.
"Honey, are you my sweetheart?"
ah pleaded.
"Yes, Mom," he whispered.
"How are you?" ah asked.
"I'm okey, Mom."
He couldn't be roused again.
Buckley, the man who managed
Sharkey to a championship and had
ha same high hopes for Sohaaf.
-stumbled from the room where the
youngster died, with tears streaming
down nis race.
i waa tne finest boy I ever
knew, he said. "And he had to die
to prove that he wasn't a faker. The
things they accused him of, things

Medford's Tigers will take a trip
Into the frown reaches of the Klam
ath baaln this week-end In conquest
of the Klamath vallsy teams. Med
ford meets Klamath Palla In a return
game -in Klamath Falls Friday night,
and plays Chlloquln Saturday night.
Coach Darwin K. Burgher said this
morning that ha would use his sec
ond team against Chlloquln as they
play on a "cracker box" floor and
with the Ashland game coming the
following week he didn't want to run
any chance of Injuries. The first
team, however, will meet Klamath
Falls.
The Tigers are pointing to the game
here Thursday, February 23. with the
Ashland high school. In the third
conference game of the season for
the locals. Ashland, under Coach
Donald Faber, haa been ahowlng ex
ceptional strength, and Is casting
somewhat of a shadow over the cham
pionship aspirations of the Tigers. By
defeating the strong Klamath Falls
team, 20-22, the Ashland team loomed
as a contender of serious dimensions,
and may make the trip to Salem In
stead of the Tigers. Medford has
not lost to Ashland on the basketball
floor, for some time, and Ashland
growling In a threatening tone thla
year. Coach Burgher admitted thla
morning that things looked bad
I wouldn't want to be quoted,'
Burgher aald, "but I don't Ilka the
looks of this Ashland outfit. Unless
my boys are on when we play Ash
land, no telling what' will happen. It
doesn't look too good."
Medford's 'rigor Cubs will play the
Junior high school In the preliminary
to tne Asmana gams, Burgher an
nounced. These two teams are old
rivals.

THAT "Prices Are Rising" is a fact backed by
stock shortages all along the line from retailer
to manufacturer. And there is a shortage of "sup
plies" in most homes as well. Operating on a lim
ited budget people have used the old things until
they simply can't be used any more.
If the things you and your family use are giving out,
if your reserve supplies are running low, now is the
time to stock-up . . . now, before the rising market
catches you napping and you are forced to pay far
more for things you simply must have. Medford
