MfN& viii Retire.
Charles Morton, one Of the best
known managers in the base ball
business, informed q DEMOCRAT re.
porter Monday that he had received
offers from several clubs for the

decided to retire from the business,
Mr.. Morton has interests in Akron
that demand his attention.
Motz viii Return.
Frank Motz will return to Indian
apolls next year. The change
In the management at that city will
not effect him in any way.
Little to GrumbIe About.
When White returned to Chicago
after his go with Artie Simms in this
city he told many weird tales of the
shameful manner In which he was
treated here says the Cleveland
World. He has little to grumble
about, however, for he let the cat
out of the bag when he confessed
that he was holding himself in to be
in good condition for his fight with
"Kid" Broad. He claims that he
was 80 sure of winning that he was
lying low throughout the contest. II
that is the case, he received lust
what he deserved in the way of a
decision. A fighter is supposed to
do his best at all times and 1t is no
credit to the Windy City boy for
having fought the battle he did
which was very tame affair
throughout.
Wright Has Signed.
Gene Wright, of Barberton, has
signed with New Castle for next
year. He Is 4 f1rst-class all-round
man.

Rubin Stopped conroy.
Stockings Conrow, of Troy, N. Y,
the heaviest man in the pugilistic
business, was stopped in the seventh
round by Gus Ruhlin, Tuesday
night. This is the first time that
Conry has ever failed to stay the
limit. The men were scheduled to
fight twenty rounds, under the aus
pices of the Broadway Athletic club
of New York. Rubin was a 100 to
40 favorite. Conroy was game, tax
ing Ruhlin's fearful punches with
out showing any inclination to quit.
During the first six rounds the Ak
ron giant landed repeatedly on Con-
roy's face, closing his right eye In
the fifth. The seventh and last
round was the hottest of the fight.
Conroy rushed and landed right
swing for the ribs. Gus returned
with left on the face and put left
and right ON face twice. Gus then
put left on the stomach, Conroy
countering on the face. Rubin
sent his right to the jaw, following
quickly with left to wind and right
and left to the face. He repeated
the latter blows and with q right
cross on the ear put Conroy down on
one knee. Conroy took the count,
but went down again from a left and
right ON the head and a terrific right
under the heart. The Troy man re-
gained his feet, but was staggering
and Referee White stopped the bout,
awarding the verdict to Rubin.
Time of round 2;lS. Rubin will
