Shires Plans Retirement From White Sox After Dispute
Art Shires, former White Sox first baseman, says he will not play again for Chicago. In a call from Italy he accused Comiskey of pressuring him over a fight and said he will seek semipro work unless offered better terms. Primo Carnera plans Midwest and West Coast boxing dates after a Jacksonville bout. He targets Kansas City, Denver, Seattle, Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles with ten knockouts yielding about $100,000.
