6ANS TO RETIRE FROM FIGHT RING\ . -IOWNS A 35,000 HOTEL IN BALTIMORE AND WILL RUNTHAT. 'San Francisco, Sept. 14.—F6rmer ichampion lightweight Joe Gans is !*going hack to Baltimore as he said he 1 would after his defeat on Wednesday by Battling Nelson.“Gans will leave lor Baltimore next Monday,” said Benny Selig today.The former champion is said to he .comfortably fixed, as his hotel pro- : pertv, worth $35,000, is free of incumbrance and gives him all the income he needs.‘‘I will never have anything to do with signing Gans Tor another fight, said Selig. I had offers for Gans to fight ‘Packey’ McFarland or Freddie Welsh in Frisco, but I turned them down. Gans is through with the game as far as I am concerned. Joe bet some money on the fight, hut he bet enough on the rounds, so he broke about even. Until--the eight-eenth or nineteenth round he thought he had a chance to win. He was cut up about the face, but not badly punished, and will be all right in two or three days.” ,
