LENNON STARTS TO
TRIM UP SAINTS

George 3. Lennon Of the st. Paul team has
sold four Of his surplus players, three of them
youngsters who need another years experience
in smaller league. Pitcher Frank Moore was
sold to the Duluth team Of the Northern league,
Pitcher Roy Parkins and Catcher George Kel
sey sold to the Waterloo team of the
Iowa State league and Shortstop Ike Rockenfeld
whom St. Paul received him. Moore, Parkins
and Kelsey left last night and Rockenfeld will
leave this evening for st. Louis.
Park1ns, Moore and Kelsey all promising
youngsters and no doubt will be back in the
association next season. What they need is
more experience, and the place for them to
get it is in smaller league. At times all
of these men have played first-class ball, but
their work wasn't consistent, and another season
out their true form. Moore will strengthen the
Duluth team, while Parkins and Kelsey should
be stars In the Iowa league. Parkns was one
Of the best pitchers in that league last season,
and there Is no doubt that he is capable of
doing better work now than then.
It is difficult to determine just what Nc
Aleer wants with Rockenield, as he has all of
the nfelders he needs now, and Ike was given
a chance last year, but didn't meet expecta.

Pete O'Brien, so the chances are that he will

WEBSTER TELLS OF
HIS LEAGUE PLANS

Owatonra, Min :, Aug. 2o.-The full plan Of
the proposed Northwestern Association Of Pro-
fessional Baseball clubs outlined by W. D.
Webster, baseball enthusiast Of Sioux City.
Webster believes that the twins will patronize
the so-called bush league, and cites the big
crowds that turn out when game is scheduled
between two fast semi professional teams In
either of the two cities.
'sioux City would come into the league will
tngly and give us good support - he said. II
think the present season is the last of the
Western league. Des Moines and Denver will 60
into the association and that takes away the
financial end of the league. Sioux Falls should
prove good town and we are at present consid-
ering WATERFOWL, which may be substituted for
Mankato. Watertown has supported its semi
professional team in manner to make 1t worthy
place in league, and If we could get Sioux
Falls and Bookings also, that would give us
three South Dakota towns with about as fierce
a rivalry as could be imagined. 7E
"La Crosse has supported it's team in the
Wisconsin league in fine shape and we believe
the league could put up better article of
ball than they are at present getting. Winona
ought to be a good town. and with good team
would, we are sure, prove to be such.
"Of course, there is big difference in the
population Of the various towns under consdera-
ton, but this will balance things nicely. A
team which may be losing proposition in one
town will pay heavily in another, and as 1t
would be organized on q cooperative basis the
teams could all be made paying propositions"

diets that Cans will win from Nelson in their
coming battle. He says: "Gans probably will
profit by the mistakes Of my battle with Nell
son. I foolishly walloped away at his head,
when the Danes body should have been my
target. Cans can administer more furnishing
blows to a slugger Of the Nelson type than he
can to a clever man. All of the negros
battles prove this conclusively.
"Nelson depends wading in and eating up
Lot of punishment, taking a chance on firing
out the other fellow. Cans is just the opposite
In his ring maneuvers. He is careful to avoid
punishment and at the same time is always
attempting to administer 1t. In my first fight
with Nelson I adhered strictly to that mode of
fighting, and I beat him handily.
NELSON has left that will bother Cans,
but don't think the Dane WILL be able to jam
his head up under Cans chin as he was allowed
to do with me. Cans will hit Nelson as often
as I did. The question is, will Cans be able
