HURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1921. PAGE 11 0 Baseball — Suggestions Promise Seattle Fans That Team Won't Be Broken Up in Mid-Year Again BY LEO H. L HEN Jim Boldt, the new owner of the Seattle | ball club, takes over the reins of the Indians on October 18, two things should be done in the interest of the national game in Seattle. The first is that he should make every ef- fort to sign Bill Kenworthy to manage the | club again next year, and the other is to promise Seattle fans that he won't sell ball players to big league clubs in mid-season for immediate delivery, breaking up the Se- attle team, as it has been broken up during the past two years. Last season Bill Klepper, the present president of the club, swung a deal with Cincinnati for the immediate delivery of b Brenton. It was good business, as just a few weeks lore Brenton was going poorly and the club was thinking letting him go. But when they sold him Brenton was ing the best ball of any pitcher on the club. Seattle fished second to Vernon and it still is our firm belief that Indians would have won out if Brenton had remained e whole season. ‘This season Bill Cunningham was sold to the New York | ants in mid-year.

Frisch slammed out four hits in four trips to the plate, one triple, and stole a base. He also played a dbangup game in the field.
