In accordance with its agreement
made with the special committee of
the council and subsequently ratified
by that body, the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company on Thursday signed
a contract with the Wisconsin Bridge
and Iron Company of Milwaukee for the
new bridge over Pike River al Ash
land avenue under plans and specifca-
tions approved by the mayor and coun-
Gil. One of the provisions of the con-
tract is that the work must be com
pleted and ready for service by Janu-
airy LIST and inasmuch as the company
having the contract is not<in the habit
of falling down on its agreements the
people of the city can count on having
this new means of communication be-
tween the north and south side the first
of the new year. The opening of Ash
land avenue and the building of the
bridge is the greatest public improve
ment the city has made in many years
and the present administration is to be
congratulated on successfully carrying
through a project that has been under
consideration for the past ten years o.
longer. With the rapid growth of the
city the need of better means of COM
munication between the two great nat
ural divisions of the city became a
pressing problem, but the present ar
rangement in all probability will meet
all demands for years to come

that Joe played his first game in fast

he is a member. Such is the case,

figured that Jackson could hardly be
as classy as he had been touted.
One of the most pessimistic of the
Quaker City writer's, speaking of Jack

said, jackson lived up to his reputa-
ton today. In the first inning he
made a good catch of Turner's drive,
taking the ball as cody as IL he had
been in the American league all his
life. Then, in the Athletics half, he
had the honor of driving in the first
run of the game. Hartsel doubled,

Senators Insure
Their Best Men
Against Injury

WASHINGTON. D. c., April "a
The Washington club has insured It's
regular players against accidents on
and off the ball field. Ten members
Of the team are covered by the policy,
which in the event that any of the
PLAYERS are incapacitated provides
that the club shall be paid certain
sum of money. The players so cover
ed are Walter Johnson. George Me
Bride, Eddie Foster, Chick Gandih
Clyde Milan, Dan Moeller. Eddie Ain
smith Alva Williams, John Henry
and Bob Groom.
Because of the great danger of play
ers' being injured and thus being
worthless to their team the club has
tried to protect itself from such
financial loss as might be incurred by
reason of the injuries. The value
placed on the players. OF course,
varies. Walter Johnson is insured for
the greatest amount. and then the
figures decrease according to the value
the club puts on the players.
Most of the major league clubs are
taking the precautiou of having their
players insured against accidents.
