RALPH BELL GOES
BACK TO WINONA

Ralph Bell, star HEAVIER Of the North
ern league, who established a worlds
record for himself last season with. the
Winona uniform before another week
Of the present season has passed. To
the most pessimistic~ Winona fan this
news should shake off their worry, as
complete another championship club.
les The Winona baseball management
has practically completed negotiations
for the release outright or Pitcher Bell.
They have been in touch with the st.
Joseph club for quite a while trying
to complete this deal.
The acquisition of Bell will come as
a ten strike to the Winona Baseball
club as every fan around the North
ern league circuit knows what this
pitcher means to the local club. In
completing the deal, the local direc-
tors and Lefty Davis have showed the
fans that they are leaving nothing I'M
turned to give Winona a winnins COM
biation.
Persons who followed Bells perform
ance last season were unanimous IN
proclaiming him the king of pitchers
and 1t was through his splendid work
that the Winona club was given a pen
ant.
Bell has a record unequalled by any
pitcher in the country, winning wen
ty-three straight games. nineteen Of
and four with the st. Joseph team OF
the Western, league. Last year he won
twenty-eight and lost only six games,
beating the record OF the famous Wal
ter johnson, of Washington, who won
twenty-six. and lost eight games.
The local club Is ~endeavoring to land
a number one catcher and in a few
days will probably be able to spring
will make them forget both Meyer and
Murphy.

The defeat of Jerome Travers aus
ed an ever greater sensation if pos

would have done, for he was regarded
as the most dangerous of the Ameri-

for his defeat, however, saying:

Grand Forks, N. D., May 19.-"Dutch'
Altman, star Outielder and cleanup
slugger of the Grand Forks club, Is out
of the game for a few days, at least, as
the result of receiving a broken nose
in Sundays game.
Batting in the fourth inning, Altman
fouled one into his face, his nasal or
gan receiving the blunt of the terrific
blow, and the bone was snapped in two
places.
Altman has been confined to his room
most Of the time, but reports are to the
effect that he is getting along in very
good shape.
Coming at this time, with one of the
most interesting early season series at
hand, and with the Flickertails going
at top speed, the loss of Altman is
somewhat of a handicap.
Nifnecker probably will play the left
field, while Cosgriff goes to short. Nif-
