The loading and unloading of bales of cotton is still a river-front activity although this scene beneath the railroad trestles is possibly not as romantic as in the days when steamships provided the transportation and the levee was jammed with singing Negroes. This is a view on Wharf street near Poplar, almost at the south limits of the proposed improvement project.
An idea of antiquity of the area contained in the proposed river-front improvement project, is given by a plaque attached to the building, second from the left, shown in this photograph on Second street, just north of Chestnut street. The legend relates that the property- 120x150 feet- was sold for $120 on September 26, 1768, and included in the sale was a log cabin 16 feet square.
Buck Boucher, the Eagles' astute coach, is counting heavily on his veteran center-ice star, Joe Lamb, pictured above, in the National League hockey match with the powerful Montreal Maroons tonight at the Arena. A leading scorer in the N.H.L. for a number of years, Lamb is primed to lead the experienced St. Louis line which has Frank Finnigan and Jerry Shannon at the wings.
A fleet, flame-thatched right-winger, Pete Kelley, obtained by the St. Louis Eagles last week from Charlottetown in the MariTime league in Eastern Canada, is one of the players upon whom Coach Buck Boucher is counting to lift his puck sextet into a play-off position in the National Hockey League race. Kelley, in his three games with the Eagles, has impressed with fast skating and clever stick-handling.
Joe Lamb, Ossie Asmundson and Eddie Finnigan, St. Louis Eagle sharpshooters (left to right in above picture), who scored the three goals which turned back the New York Americans, 3 to 2, Thursday night, again will be counted upon to come through against a team of New Yorkers when the Rangers call tonight at the Arena.
The youngest scoring line in the National League, pictured above with "Red" Kelley (left), "Schoolboy" Cowley (center) and Eddie Finnigan, will line up for the Eagles at various stages of tonight's battle with the Montreal Canadians at the Arena. Kelley is 22, Cowley, 20, and Finnigan, 21.
The Eagles' "lightning line" of Glen Brydson, Carl Voss and Syd Howe (left to right) in the above picture) has scored more goals than all the other members of the local squad combined in National Hockey League competition this season. Howe, with 13 goals and 11 assists; Voss, who has bagged 8 goals and 13 assists, and Brydson, whose total is 6 goals and 13 assists, are high up in the scoring list
Oscar "Ossie" Asmundson, pictured above, is the latest addition to the Eagles' lineup and the fifth "kid player" to be signed by the St. Louis hockey team this year. Obtained from Detroit last week, he turned in a consistent game in his debut appearance here as the Boucherman turned back the Black Hawks, 1 to 0.
