CoNLEY HAS DISQUALIFIED.
Kenosha Lad Refused to Put AWAY
His Man.

Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 14.-Frankie
Conley of Kenosha, claimant of. the
bantamweight championship, was dis
qualified by Referee Frew at the end
of the eighth round of ten round no
decision bout with Freddie Andrews of
Milwaukee last night.
Referee Frew claimed Conley passed
up several chances to put his man
away and refused to permit the bout
to go further.
Conley was clearly the master of
his opponent and would probably have
stopped his man had the fight been
allowed to go on.

JACK HOLLAND SECURES TWO.
Zwindling and Waldring Surrendered
by COmiSkey.

st. Joseph, Jan. 14.-Charles A.
Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White
Sox, has turned over two more re-
cruits to the st. Joseph Western
league club. One is Outfielder Twin
ding and the other Pitcher Waldring,
both players who give promise of go
ing back to the majors within sea-
son. Holland expects to get First
baseman Borton, also.
A letter from Comiskey's Chicago
office yesterday informed Manager
Jack, who is sick at his home on
North Twenty eighth street, of the
deal whereby the two were transferred
to this club. Holland is elated over
getting Zwindling and although he
knows little or nothing about VALID
ring, who is a big right handed pitch
er, he says he will probably have use
for him, in spite of the fact that he is
now overstocked with twirlers.
