...Campbell failed to recover consciousness, died the next day. Baer was suspended for a year. When he returned to the ring, he had a new manager, Ancil Hoffman, and the reputation of being the hardest hitter since Jack Dempsey. After a year in which he lost fights to Ernie Schaaf, Tommy Loughran, Johnny Risko and Paulino Uzcudun he began to justify that reputation. In a return fight with Ernie Schaaf, he gave his opponent a terrific drubbing, knocked him unconscious for three hours. A year ago Baer won his right to fight Carnera by thrashing Max Schmeling...
...Between Schaaf's crumpling in the ring and his death three days later he lay in coma. Dr. Philip Goodhart, professor of Clinical Neurology at Columbia, came in on the case as consultant. He found Schaaf's left side paralyzed. The condition of the fighter's eyes confirmed the diagnosis of a deep-seated lesion in the right side of the brain.

...After Schaaf's death Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner, ordered dissection of the brain. His assistants hardened the organ, sliced it microscopically thin. The microscope showed that Schaaf, before he went into his last fight, had been suffering from a chronic or subacute inflammation of the brain. In January he had an attack of influenza. Dr. Norris reported: "The cause of the inflammation cannot be known with certainty, but it may be referred to the ... influenza with a reasonable degree of probability." When monstrous Primo Camera understood what this meant, he was vastly relieved...
...inflammation, continued Dr. Norris in his report, "obviously antedated the boxing match, but because of its insidious development it would not necessarily give symptoms and would have been highly improbable to detect at the time of the physical examination before the bout. In the ring, however, it interfered with Schaaf's boxing skill so that he was less able to avoid blows. In addition, blows not in themselves dangerous aggravated the meningo encephalitis [inflammation]." At Albany, New York State Senators chattered about repealing "Mayor" Walker's boxing laws, and safeguarding the health of boxers. At Boston, a Massachusetts...
