FROM BRIDGE FOR COURT DRAWN BY

GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS ARE
ENGAGED in WORK THAT MEANS
GREAT DEAL TO WHOLE COM
MUNITY-VIEW FROM CONCRETE
BRIDGE TO BE UNRESTRICTED
TO CENTRAL TRESTLE.

Government workers under the di-
reation of Lieut.. W. d. Tiedeman and
Assistnant Sanitary Engineer j. S,
Stoy, are engaged in the cutting of
q new channel for Muckalee creek
from a point near where Town creek
forms junction with that stream to
tae General of Georgia trestle over
Muckalee creek, a mile distant. The
new channel when completed will be
in a straight line and the view from
the concrete bridge on the Dixie
Highway south will be greatly I'm
proved thereby.
The purpose in cutting an entire
new channel for the creek is to per-
nit a free flow of water in the stream
from about Americus, thus disposing
most effectively of the breeding places
for mosquitoes and greatly reducing
the danger of malarial infection AL
ready the channel of. Town creek has
been almost completely rebuilt and
there are very few places that now
afford breeding places for mosquitoes.
The bend of the creek in Magnolia
Dell has not yet been cleared of the
there. and there is still
some stagnant pools there, but all of
these will be drained entirely when
the new channel is finished, and the
slew" that has long existed there
will disappear altogether.
A recent inspection conducted by
Lieut.. Tiedeman resulted in the find
ing of no mosquito larvvea at all in
the vicinity of the camp at Souther
Field, as we'll as. a great reduction
n the number of breeding places
nearer the city proper.

Meyers UefD ard Zach Wheat. Bclow-Jlm Thorpe.
(By Joe WiHams)
The presence OF a ed-plooded In

The presence OF a red-bl0oded In
dian on a ball club always lends a
touch of color to that team--not
meaning to pcrpetuate a puny pun,
either.
To begin with the Indian is usual
~ a good ball player. a nan who is
particularly we'll trained in At least
n department of play. This and
the rarity of ibis athletic breed make
him stand out from the Conventional
background.
At no time has there b9en a multi
tude of aborigines in thesn1ajors. Nor
have the. minors been overcrowded
with them for that matter. Today
Jim Thorpe and Zach Wheat are the
representative Indians in, the large
leagues. Thorpe is a substitute with
the Giants; Wheat is probably the
star PLAYER Of the Brooklyns. l
don't believe either man Is a full
blooded Redskin. Indeed It is not
generally known that Wheat has In
dian blood in his veins. hut it is n
fact.
The two greatest Indian ball play
ers Of recent years were Chief Ben
der. who gained undying fame as a
member Of the famous old Athletics,
and Chief MEYERS. who played an
equally conspicuous role in the flag
winning campaigns Of the old Giants.
Both Of these men have faded from
