Frank Motz may retire from base
ball. He has purchased an interest In
the ticket brokerage and cigar bust
ness Of W. II. Motz. He is undecided
as to his future movements.
A special from indianapolis, refers
to Motz. 1t follows.
president Watkins will order his
players to report the last week, hold
ing that three weeks Is time enough to
cut them in playing form, If they have
)een taking care of themselves. There
will be no playing of favorites and the
player failing to strike the pace will
be dropped. Watkins believes that the
coming season will be the fastest IN
baseball circles since the National
league team of 13 years ago. 1t is
doubtful if Motz and Stewart returns,
as Motz has gone into business at Ak
ron, Ohio. and Stewart is employed in
an iron mill ut Terre Hautc, Ind, and
he thinks his best days In ball arc
over. The local fans and Manager
Watkins take much satisfaction be-
cause the story is now credited that In
dianapolis is no longer farm foi
Cincinnati. The recent signing of
Cincinnati reserves by Kansas City
emphasizes this fact. While Indian
,polis got some good players from
Cincinnati she lost good many, still
oetter besides which she aroused mucl
prejudice against her in the minoi
league. because of the charge that II
was Cincinnati brains and not Western
league talent which was winning
games The most active in kicking
against indianapolis on this score was
Kansas City,
