Mack's Youngsters Good.

"Mack's youngsters should be better
this year, but take them man for man
II believe that we have better balanced
and more efficient staff.
That wonderful inheld, McTnnis, Col
Inns, Barry. and Baker, usually perform
at top speed whenever the Nationals
play against them.
Suppose one OF this quartet should
break leg or be laid up by severe
illness, Mack has no substitutes able to
jump in and fill the bill
The same might be said of our in
field.
What | am trying to get at is this:
ANY time you take away one man
from a veteran inheld like the Athletics
the team is going to work under severe
handicap, incidentally it is going to lose
some ball games.
. Now, in a nutshell, this is what must
happen to the Athletics in order for us
to beat them out:
"First-Bender and Plank have got to
show just as good form in the box as
characterized their work last year.
'Second-Macks great infeld must be
kept intact throughout.
'Mack's Athletics are the club we
must beat out to win the pennant. 1t is
going to prove an ,awtully hard task,

a fighting chance.

Theodore Gilman, secretary OF the
Keokuk and Hamilton Bridge COM
pany, authorized the statement this
morning that work Of reconstructing
the bridge at this point would begin
as soon as the financial end of the
proposition could be taken care of at
Chicago. Mr.. Gilman through John
H. Cole, superintendent OF the local
bridge company, explained that there
were certain financial details neces-
sary, that the work Of financing such
La projec. could not be accomplished
in a day, but the company had de-
cided to go ahead with the work, as
he stated yesterday, and the sooner it

Engineer Ralph Modjeski told SUI
perin.endent Cole before he left Keo-
kuk last evening that he would re-
turn next week according to his
plans at present and would make some
preliminary surveys which are neces-
sary to complete the plans and speci-
fications which have already been
started From these statements there
can be little doubt but that the Keo-
l,uk and Hamilton Bridge company
expects to get to work at once on
this matter of reconstruction of the
bridge
Local business men look with favor
on the proposed work, according to
some of them who were. asked this
morning to discuss the proposition.
They can see solution of some of
the transportation problems they say
in the double deck bridge, and they
are OF the belief that the rebuilt
bridge will attract more people when
i: is known that there will not be the
Likelihood Of congestion that now ex-
lists. with only the one level for all
