ROOSEVELT Will Protect Him From the Crowds— Plans Include Visit to the Shte Fair Grnnnds St. Paul, Aug. 6 (Special to the Pioneer)—When Theodore Roose- velt arrives in St. Paul on September 5th, to speak at the second National Conservation Congress, he will be guarded by the police as carefuliy as he would be if he were still presi- dent. Every precaution will be taken to see that he is fully protected from the crowd that will be near him all the time during his stay in the city. As president, Colonel Roosevelt always was under the eyes of at least four secret service men when- ever he was surrounded by a crowd. He didn’t like the idea of being guarded and used to try to avoid it, but the keen-eyed sleuths stuck closely to him and were ever alert for his safety. Now that he is a private citizen, he does not have this body-guard and it falls to the lot of the police of the cities he visits to furnish proper protection. Following a conference with mem- bers of the local committee on ar- rangements, Chief of Police, John J. O’Connor of St. Paul, began work- ing on a plan which, when perfected, will result in Colonel Roosevelt be- ing under the care of the guardians of the law from the minute he steps into St. Paul until the minute he leaves the city. The best men on the city's force will be on band all the time. They will not be in evi- dence as they will be in citizen’s clothes, but it will be their duty to see that there is a clear passage for the former president. These pre- cautions are not taken with any thought of danger of attack on Colonel Roosevelt, who is a favorite in St. Paul, but there are always people in great crowds who want to shake the hand of the former presi- dent. There are others who would have a word or two with him on some subject or other. Should he stop ten seconds with each of these, there would be little time left for him to speak and attend the func- tions planned for him. Upon his arrival in St. Paul, Colonel Roosevelt will be met at the Union Station by Governor Eberhart, as many of the governors of other states as have arrived, cabinet members, Gifford Pinchot, the reception committee of the National Conservation Congress and the welcoming committee, composed of members of St. Paul’s commercial and civic organizations. While these dignitaries and organizatsons will attract attention, the center of interest will be in the original Roosevelt club, a St. Paul organization which is known all over the country. Every member of the club has promised to be present to welcome the former chief executive and act as his escort wherever he goes. The plans as now made include a visit by Colonel Roosevelt to the Minnesota State Fair grounds ‘where he will make a brief speech. Then he will return to the new St. Paul Hotel, where a suite will have been specially prepared for him. In the afternoon, he will deliver the main speech before the congress in the auditorium. After he has delivered his address Colonel Roosevelt will return to the St. Paul hotel, where, if present plans are carried out, an informal reception will be held. In the evening he will leave for Mil- waukee. SPORTING NOTES Cass Lake to Play Fosston. Cass Lake, August 6 (Special)— The ball game scheduled on the local grounds against the Crookston team for tomorrow afternoon has been cancelled owing to the dis- banding of the Crookston team. To fill in the date the strong Fosston team_has been secured for the day and a good game is promised. The Fosston boys are on a trip_to the Range where they will “meet the strong teams in that vicinity during the next few days. Fosston played here several weeks ago and the game proved the fastest played on the local grounds, Fosston winning out in a1 to O score. Cass Lake feels confident that they will be able to turn the tables on their rivals tomorrow, as their infield isnow better than ever, being the fastest in the north half of the state. Schmidt for Cass Lake and Narveson for Fosston will be the opposing pitchers and. a contest worth going many miles to see will be che result. Earl Pickering Injured. Albert Lea Tribune: Reports reached Albert Lea today that Earl Pickering, the Geneva boy who made such a great record on the gridiron at Minnesota univer sity last fall, had been injured in an automobile accident at Milbank, S. D, and that*his leg had been broken, The report was very meagre but came from an authen- tic source, 1f the break is a bad one it may result in keeping «Pick” cut of football this fall, and this would prove a serious blow to Minnesota as he had been counted upon to star in the game during the entire season, Pickering’s many friends in Albert Lea and vicinity extend all sorts of sympathy and also hope that the injury is not as great as the re- ports would lead one to believe, Joe Gans Nearly Dead. Chicago, Aug. 6—Kept alive by frequent administration of oxygen, former lightweight champion pugilist, Joe Gans, arrived here at noon to- day on his way to his old home, in Baltimore to die. It is doubtful if Gans will ever leave Chicago alive. Gans was met at the train by a delegation of friends including his former wife, Mrs. Marge Gans, ‘and was carried on a stretcher to her home. He was accompanied by his present wife and both women vied with eacb other and his friends in providing comforts for the trip. An automobile and automobile-truck had been provided by his admirers here to carry him from the station, but bhe was finally taken in an automobile ambulance. The arrangements to take him to his former wife’s home were made earlier in the day by telegraph. |Stanning of the Glubsl American Assoclation Won Lost Pect Minneapoli: ..75 38 .664 St. Paul . 64 47 .576 Toledo. . 54 49 .546 Kansas City. 55 51 .519 Columbus. 49 56 .467 Milwaukee 48 59 .449 Indianapoli: 65 .404 Louisville.... 69 .367 National League Won Lost Pet Chicago. .. . 62 31 .667 i 53 38 .582 53 39 .576 46 47 495 48 47 .485 .40 54 424 .39 57 .406 .36 62 .365 American League Won Lost Pet Philadelphia. ...63 31 .670 Boston ... .59 38 .608 New York. 55 40 .579 Detroit. . 54 43..557 Cleveland 43 49 .469 Washington .

At the tourney of the western division, which was held at Bemidji, Dennis made the coupling in four seconds flat. “When the- western division learned of the fast time made by Lofberg, its members immediately made a howl that he bhad beat the gun and insinuated the timekeepers were not fair and a lot of other rot. During practice, before the event was pulled off, Lofberg made the coupling in 3 2-5 seconds as can be attested by a large number who witnessed the coupling and his friends feel confident that if a match arranged between him and the Be- midji boy, he will learn the western division members something about Barometer—30.35 inches— Fall- ing.

Members of the Minnesota Game and Fish commission, have been down the riveras far as Winona looking, over the prospect of gather- ing the small bass with which the propagating: ponds at Glenwood are stocked, but their reports are some- what discouraging. Indications now are that there will be a scarcity of bass in Minnesota for the next two years, It has been customary to gather the littte bass before the water receded, but this year the water.has not been high enough to allow the usual seining operations. Therefore, the number of bass fry that will be placed in captivity will be smaller than usual. . It rakes three years for bass to attain the proper" size for anglers. According to reports which have been made to the state board of health, large quantities of fish in the shallower lakes throughout the state are perishing during this dry season. “When the water gets low, and the sun heats it,” said Dr. H. M. Bracken, secretary of the board, “fish do not live long. There are many lakes throughout the state low, and the fish are suffering.” Rain Near Crookston. E. E. McDonald came over from Crookston this noon and reported that heavy rain fell there last night and this morning and that the belt extended up to within a few miles of thiscity.
