American at Chicago.
BY Frank Getty

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The in
creasing prosperity of big league
baseball. despite the supposed in
roads of golf and other sports upon
the national pastime's popularity,
is the chief subject Of discussion
among a score Of well satisfied gen.
tlemen who have gathered in New
York for a winter powwow.
A dove of peace lowered over the
Waldorf Astoria where heads of the
eight National League Clubs were
to meet formally today, and every
one of the eight president was wear
ing a pleased expression.
President Heydler, who has been
receiving informal calls from the
visiting magnates, simply couldn t
conceal until the formal meeting the
fact that the past season was the
most prosperous In the history Of the
league.
100000 Watch Cubs
Bill Veeck of Chicago, wore a par
ticularly broad grin when Heydler
congratulated the Cubs president
on the fact that his club led the
league in home attendance. More
than 100000 fans watched the Cubs
in Chicago.
Sam Breadon, president of the
Cards, still has to iron out his salary
dispute with Rogers Hornsby, his
world series. title manager.
Barney Dreyfuss, whose health
has improved greatly, was congrat-
ulated by his follow-presidents. and
he had pennant predictions TO make
for his club.

ming things all our trouble over
cliques and petty jealousies will be
at an end" the Pirates president
predicted.
Center of Interest
Another new National League
manager who is a center of interest
here this week is popular "Stuffy''
McInpis, who is to pilot the Phillies
in 1927. William F. Baker, the club
president, was enthusiastic over the
chubby first baseman's chances of
getting the Phillies up out of the sec
ond division.
1T wouldn't surprise me II we had
another miracle man in 'Stuffy,' "
said Baker.

CHAPEL TO BE BUILT
AT FORT SMELLING

After more THAI a hundred years
of neglecc, Fort Smelling at last is
to have chapel.
Announcement was made of
plans for a statewide campaign, in
which veterans organizations, pat
riotic societies, civic clubs and
churches of the state will undertake
to raise 100000 to build chapel
at the Fort. A committee of citi-
Gems, headed by Governor Theodore
Christianson as honorary CHARM an,
now is making final preparations
for the campaign, which is to be
held during the week of February
z to ID.
For many years, Fort Smelling
was the last outpost of civilization
in a wilderness peopled by warning
tribes of Indians. 1t afforded pre-
lection to the first settlers. Here
the first Sunday School and the first
church in the Northwest were estab-
lished. The first missionaries went
out from the Fort
Yet Fort Smelling today ha, no

oned junk roon was used. At pres
ent services are held in a temporary
frame building, which serves also
for a hostess house, recreation CEN
ter, dance hall and library.

CHAIN LETTERS.

During the past week the editor
of the Miner has received four let
tiers from personal friends enclosing
a "Cross Crossings Cautiously
chain letter now going the rounds
of the country. We were request
ed to pass these >on to nine of our
friends and also request them to do
the same. The letter is short and
to the point but the list accompany
ing the same is closely printed
sheet of names from whom and TO
whom the letters have been sent be-
sides the explanation that the cnain
was started by an American ofhcer
and should go around the world
three times. We were also admon-
ished not to break the chain as we
would have bad luck. 1t also asked
us to do this within twenty-four
hours and after nine days we would
have good luck.

piled alluring promises if we do and

not going to engage an expert

and request our 5000 readers to
write nine letters each and give the
chain a boost which will send i
twice around the world at one fel

broken. This surely is fair enough
Our friends numbered US among
nine to whom they wrote-maybe
and we are sending ours out t
5000 or more. This should multi
ply our ''good luck" by thousand
and not only nine and knock the
"bad luck" jinx into cooked hat

is to copy this nine times and senC
