Washington only needs a spark

states.
He convalesed, went to St.
Paul. boxed there with Tony
Faeth, knocked him out and
stopped at Chicago. where he
was exonerated of blame in fran
ing a bout with Dan Daily, who
also had broken down and con-
fessed that he had been given
his orders.
These happ enings probably
started Art to thinking Was he
so terrible that his own managers
had to frame bouts for him? Art
didn't think so. but if this sort
of thing was going to go on he
didn't care to mingle. Baseball
was still his profession and base
ball it was, because the next day
when at Lansing. Mich. before
the boxing commission, he was
exonerated and reinstated. He
told that body that his bout at
Boston the following night with
Al Sphorer was to be his last.
He went to Boston and stopped
Sphorer in the first round via
the technical knockout route. He
reiterated his decision to quit
boxing and he meant it.
It cost ShireS a lot of
money to make this decision.
He had offers for nearly $780,
900 worth of bouts, but cast
them all aside.
He went to Judge Lands and re-
Ceived the latter's ultimatum with
out comment. This statement,
purporting to be aimed at all base
ball players who boxed, was in
reality addressed to him. but the
sting didn't hurt so much because
Art had tired of boxing, was
afraid of injury, was suspicious of
its devious ways, had $4,000 clear
and besides he wanted to go home
to pa and ma.
Art loves baseball, and 1t was
getting near spring training time.
Gee! 1t had been almost 10
months since he was home, and
gosh! there was that $4,000 in the
bank. That settled it-off to
Texas he must go.
What will he do with this
money, and what is his future in
baseball? The answers to these
questions will be found in tOmOr-
rows Washington Times.

Having successfully piloted Ar
thur Shires through his first year
of major league baseball and his
month of boxing, said month be-
ing quite full Of comedy, it is
now time to settle down and get
at the reasons underlying his
dropping boxing so quickly.
His first fight was December 9
and his last January 10. In that
span Of time he made $4,000,
and after paying his debts, in
Cured following his last battle
with Lena Blackburn, Arthur left
Chicago with $4,000 in the bank
and some change in his pocket.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1930-01-29

In the meantime came the
mess at Detroit. Then came the
full realization that ways of box
ing were not always in the open.
Two nights before Shires was
scheduled to box Battling Criss,
some of the persons connected
with the promotion of the bout
took Arthur on a sight seeing
expedition.
In the morning Shires found
that despite ample preVentativeS
he had contracted cold and
was quite i'll.
The physicians from the Michi-
gan Boxing Commission called
on him and declared him not in
condition to go on with the bout,
A day or so later came an,
nouncement from the commits
sion that someone from the
Shires camp had tried to force
him to take a dive.
