Clarke to Watch
Fred Schliebner

Pittsburgh correspondent has tie
following to say regarding the release
of Fred Schliebner, the Davenport
boy who started with Clinton last sea-
son, was sold to the Omaha Western
league club and went to the Pirates
at the close Of the season there:
''The Pirate roster now numbers
thirty-three players, the latest release
being that of First Basaman Fred
Schlieb1er, who was secured by pur-
chase last summer from the Omaha
club of the Western league. He has
been sent back there under an option
al agreement. He is mere youth,
and has been in baseball only a year
and half. Omaha secured him last
year in midsummer from Clinton, Ia.
He has all the earmarks of conner,
and Clarke has decided to look him
over again next fall if he develops as
he IS expected to do. 1t is said that
ali lie needs is experience"
or Baird, the former Springfield
third aseman, the same correspon-
dent says:
Baird, the Sioux City lad; Joe
Leonard, who was with the team all
of last season. and one or two other
lads will fight it out for the third
base job. E. j. Hanlon, owner of the
Sioux City club, Was In Pittsburgh
recently, and made a strong plea for
the return of Baird, il he does not
make good.
This youth appears to have the
best chance of landing the off-corner
job. Clarke knows something about
him, as he was on the southern trip
a year ago and was loaned to Sioux
City for one year. He developed very
rapidly, and last fall was regarded as
one of the best players in the West
ern league"

Bill permitting the reconstruction

bridge act passed house today
The bill will go to the senate next,
and if passed there and approved by
the president, the work of reconstruc-
ton need not be longer delayed, it is
the general belief here. If the OBJ
stacles are removed at once. it is pos
sible that the work on the bridge may
be commenced shortly. The bridge
company officials last week by the
statement that they would have 10
hold up their plans if they were not
given permission to rebuild on the
present level, caused much consterna-
ton here. especially as the people had
been led to believe that work would
commence this spring.
Now, there seems to be little doubt
in the minds of Mayor Moorhead and
the city officials but that the bridge
reconstruction can be carried out as
previously planned. 1t Is quite gener-
ally believed by the city officials that
the senate will pass the legalizing
act, as the house has done, and that
the obstacles in the way OF the work
will all have been removed.
