total investment of about $500 600, 900,
of which approximately one-half will be
represented by the bridge itself Inas-

McVey Issues Statement.
In statement issued tonight, DR..
McVey said in part:
NJ Nuilh6 tue last lOuI
years l have had a feeling that the
people of Kentucky held only a nomi-
nal interest in their university, but
the expressions of good will coupled
with definite assurances of support
from all parts of the State, have
strengthened my faith in the people
of the Commonwealth.
"The work now established on
foundations already created by my
predecessors is not finished. 1t is
only well started. Whatever other
State universities have done for their
States the University of Kentucky
can do for kentucky.
"All that is needed are faith, pur-
pose and money. If we have the
faith the money will come when the
purpose is clearly directed"
Service to State, Aim.
The statement sets forth that the

II have concluded" his statemeTcsr
continues, ito remain in the distinct
hope and with great faith that these
eXDreSsiOnS indicate real nurnOca
that looks forward to a bigger and

We are unable to give the box
score of either the Saturday or the
Sunday game. The Riverside scorer
at Beaver Dam was either too excit-
ed or disguised after the seventh to
keep the put outs and assists, so our
score book for that game is nil. The
score was to 3, but despite this
score the game was a peach. Not a
hit was registered by either team I'M
til the seventh. A bevy of hits and
errors was responsible for the IL
runs scored in that frame. The Sun

to registering thrills. First Nor

Hartford. The game was compare
lively free from errors and hits won
for the locals. The score was Z to 6.

The Beavers go to Island Station
Sunday, to win again from The Island
outfit If they turn the trick this
time it ought to place them in the
upper class beyond a doubt. Dawson
Springs defeated jacksonville to 2.
Island Station beat Dawson Springs
by nice score and Beaver Dam has
defeated Island once and should they
turn the trick again the dope will
label them first class stuff. The Madi-
sonville team is about the fastest In
dependent team in the south, but they
can be beaten.
1t wouldn't be bad idea to get a
team together and make IL the very
fastest team that the County can put
cut, label it the Ohio All-Stars and
take transforming trip through
Western Kentucky. Maybe all the
teams in the county are not top
notchers, but there is always a man
or two who can qualify. In our
mind we have q bunch of stars who
would be mighty hard to beat. This
would give some OF the boys nice
road trip, put Ohio County On the
base ball map and take fall out OF
some of the over-rated teams of the
state. Someone who has the money
to Advance and the time to devote,
ought to do it.
