In the same quotation under dis

Schuyler was not even present at

previously relieved OF his command

SKI QUITS IN FIGHT
 AGAINST MIKE CONROY
Sencgalesc Makes Comedy of Bout and Then Decides He Would Cry
 Enough in Lorain show.

Lorain, Ohio, Aug. 21.-The sched- uled 10-round bout between Battling Siki, the Senegalese boxer who con- ouered Georges Carpenter, and Mike Conroy, Rochester, N. Y, came to a sudden ending last night when Ski refused to go on with the bout after the eighth round.
 When the gong sounded for the ninth round, Siki walked to the mid dle of the ring and exclaimed;
 I'm getting nothing for this; l quit"
 It was the main bout of show for the benefit of the Lorain relief fund.
 Referee Tommy McGinty, of Cleve- land, then awarded the contest to Conroy, who had been the master Of the situation throughout, Ski making a comedy of the bout from the start. Conroy took four of the rounds by wide margin, closing Ski's left eye in the sixth.
 Ski weighed in at 17S and Conroy 191.
 The 1O-round semi-tinal went 10 rounds to a draw between Jose Lom- Lardo, claimant of the featherweight championship of Panama, and Chuck Feldman, Cleveland, who substituted for Al Corbett, when the latter failed to show up.

 You Will recall campaign Of this nature was pushed snergetiealy by gentlemen interested financially in the return Of Carpenter 10 this country some months ago, campaign 10 which Mons Georges lent enthusiastic verbal assistance.
 Against Dempsey Carpenter had shown nothing but right hand and a giaring weakness in the elinehes.
 The new Carpenter, the fans were asked to believe, had perfected all these deficiencies and was. in truth, n completely rcfurhished fighting ma chine.
 That there might be no doubt what ever as 10 the authenticity of the transformation u Mons Georges himself personally assured reporters that he was, indeed. a changed man.
 It subsequently, developed that the only difference between the Carpenter who quit 10 Dempsey and the dashinG lrrenchman now collecting rare Speei- mems Of grcenbncks in our midst was the manner in which he parted his hair.
 Now the good senor Firro is not at all like this. He does not ask you to accept him as new model with all the latest conNeniences. He IS m every respect the same guilelcss firpo that our smart promoters had on dis play a year ago-and frankly admits it.
 All he knows about covering up IS that lt IS Eentstl optlhlioiA iN'o'f'b in some manner to the business or going to bed.
 And if he is using his left hand any Letter it is because knives in Amerl- can beaneries fit more gracefully into the fingers than the native Argentin- can cutlery.
 Mir. Tex Rickard and others inter- ested in prolonging the box office ca reer of the good senor tried to lm- press upon him the necessity Of en- listing the services of Jimmy De For est, noted trainer.
 "De Forest can teach you the me points of the game,' persisted Rick ard.
 "Fine points," exploded the good senor in rich homeland dialect what do l need with fine points when I've got this?"
 And he held aloft a big shaggy right fst--the same fist that catapult- ed our Mir. Dempsey clear out Of the ring at the Polo Grounds on the night of Sept. 14, 1923.
