new BRIDGE
MILWAUKEE ROAD WILL BUILD
ACROSS RIVER AT CHAM
BERLAIN.

Mitchell, Dec. 4.-Construction is
expected to commence on a new Mil
waukee bridge across the Missouri
river at Chamberlain sometime dur
ing the winter to replace the unsatis-
factory pile and pontoon crossing ac-
cording to information received from
Chamberlain. A section of q bridge
across the Mississippi at st. Louis,
Mo-, will be installed here, according
to unofficial advices.
Information given out at local rail-
road offices indicates that President
Harry E. Byram, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad, has or
dered a report Of expense for main
tanning the Chamberlain bridge and
that construction will begin when the
report is found to be consistent with
the proposed improvement. The un-
certain crossing at the Missouri mas
been the bane of railroad men for
years, and has caused much traffic
delay.

RUEL, YANKEES NEW CATCHER, IS SMALL BUT
 IS, SAID TO BE GOOD
(Sporting News)

When catcher anything less than a giant in size makes good enough in the minors to attract attention of the scouts he invariably is hailed as "another Schalk.'' The admirers of Harold (Muddy) Ruel. the young catcher recently purchased from Memphis by the New York Yankees, are not a bit original therefore in their description of their hero. At any rate Ruers career has been much like that of the famous little backstop of the White Sox. In the spring of 1915 the St. Louis Browns got him off the lots, but Fielder Jones declared him too small and he was shipped to Memphis
 Whatever his size he has proven hard nut to crack. Last year he caught in 103 games and this year has been in 1sO games, showing stay ing qualities that few catchers, great or small; can equal. Not all of his games this year have been behind the bat. however, as he has been used occasionally in utility roles. He will report to the Yankees at the close of the Southern League season.

PITCHER
 HELD HIS OWN WITH
 FELLOW PLAYERS IN 1883

Thirty-four years ago today, Sept. 13, 1S83,S Pitcher Daley of Cleveland, then in the National League, shut out the Philadelphia club without a hit or run. Many other ftwirlers before and since have broken into the baseball hall of fame by peri orming this feat, but Daley stands alone and unique as the only one-armed pitcher in the history of the game to attain such heights of stardom.
 Lee Meadows, the Cardinal slab art ist, is now considered something of 8 freak because his lamps are weak and he has to wear spectacles, but such "a handicap is not to be compared with that of the old Cleveland twirler. s It is not generally known that Jimmy Archer, the great backstop formerly with the Cubs,s has a bum wing but such is t'e fact. Archer's deadly right arm is an inch shorter than his left one and is terribly scared. When he was about 19 years old, Jimmy, an immigrant from Dublin, was working in a cooperage shop in Toronto.
 While thus employed he slipped and fell so that his right arm was plunged into a vat of boiling sap. All of the skin and quite bit of the flesh were torn away when the clothing was re- moved, and for weeks Archer was in the hospital. For time it was thought the arm would fave to ] e Em- putated, but the surgeons managed to save it. Since. then he has had his arm broken at the elbow, while most of the fingers of his right hand have been broken Or dislocated several times. Despite these handfcaps Arch- CT became one of the best backstops who eber played in the big leagues.

 The failure of the Eastern league stands out as another victory for Jim iO'Rourke. O'Rourke maintained right along that the merging of the Eastern and. New England leagues now the magnates are back in the During the past season the fans have been treated to the best baseball in several years, but the magnates can not be expected to allow things to run along if they are not to receive some returns for their investment.
 The principal reason advanced for New Haven's failure Is the refusal of the authorities to allow Sunday base ball. Had Owner Collins been grant ed the privilege of staging Sunday games during the past season there would be more sunshine than gloom at local baseball headquarters today. Owner Collins also received an un- fortunate break from the weather man, especially during the closing days of the season. His only ray of hope now is to have a player or two ca blurred in, the draft net. No matter what happens, however, Collins will not pass up reasonable offer for the purchase of the club.

New York, Sept. 13-Dario Resta, the Speed King of 1916S may be a starter in the Hardness Cup race at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway on Sat turday afternoon, Septenlber .22. At present Resta is in retirement and it will take quite substantial offer from Promoter William H. Wellman to i'm duce the Champion to race again Ne gotiations are pending for Resta's re- turn to the track, but as yet he has given no definite answer as to his in -tention.
 Harry s. Hardness, owner of the Sheepshead Bay Speedway, last night entered his two Delage cars for the I 100-mile race for the $10,000 trophy, of which he is the donor.s Jules De Vigne and Jack Le Caine have been nominated to drive these high-pow- cred cars.

\ New Haven, Sept. 13-The life of a minor league baseball magnate is not d bed of roses. No one realizes this any better than James T. Collins, president of the New Haven club, which showed the way in the Eastern league during the season just closed. To put it mildly, Collins is thoroughly disappointed and likewise disgusted with conditions. He makes no bones of the fact that he is ready to throw in the sponge and dispose of his hold tngs before anotne-. season rolls around. Consequently there is an opportunity for some enterprising promoter to take the club off Collins hands and make it a money -getter a year. hence. That is. if he can.
 The opinion has been prevalent in sporting circles that Collins reaped 8 barrel of dough through his baseball ventura Those not thoroughly fa- miliar with local conditions have en- not help but derive big financial harvest by reason of a pennant win ner. But the real truth is that Col lfns did not make money and further more, he had a desperate struggle to make ends meet. Collins fate is one of the real tragedies of New Haven baseball
 According to reliable reports from other Eastern league cities, there were few clubs which managed to wind up the season a few dollars to the good. Such cities as Lawrence, New Lon don and Portland poured considera- ble money into baseball but failed to

STANLEY KETCHEL VERY
 YOUNG WHEN HIS RING
 CAREER WAS CUT SHORT

Stanley Ketchel, had he lived, would be 30 years old tomorrow. It will be remembered that the middleweight king was shot and killed on the ranch of Col R. P. Dickerson, of Springfield, ant ring battle with Nose LaFontise. and put him to sleep in the 24th round of bout at Butte, Mont. Nose was a clever fighter who was touring the country posing as tsboob'' fighter and taking on local boys. When KetcheI got through with him he didn't have to pose as a boob any longers ..
 Ketchel was only I6 years old, zl- though big for his age, when he con- sented to meet Rsdolph Hing, a heavy weight, at Miles City, Mont. Hing was Q husky miner and weighed 50 pounds more than Ketchel. The ses7r sion ended in a draw after going the allotted 20 rounds. Morris Thompson was the first man to defeat Ketchelse getting the decision in six rourds Later Thompson knocked out KetchcI in three rounds. ,s
 In 1906 Ketchel had cleaned up aII the men of his weight in Montanax The following. year he invaded Cali fornia, making his first appearance clad in a sombrero, flannel shirt leather trousers. high heeled bootS spurs and belt with a revolver in 1t. He was hailed as the Cowboy Fighter After his defeat of BillIs Papke he was acknowledged the Iead- CT of his division.
