him some good, and went searching
for the stimulant among several bot

CAEHOUN'S DREAM.

How long we have watched and
waited for the realization of Gal
houn's Dream" which Is nothing
more nor less than the building Of
the old Blue Ridge Railway through
the mountains to Knoxville. And 1t
realization. There is no heralding
of great things, no flourish Of trum-
pets by the railway officials, as in the
past, which has each time ended in
the loud bursting Of wind bag.
There is, however, continuous
sound OF quiet work by those in a
position to do something, and every
now and then we get an inkling that
some one of a few obstacles has
been overcome. To-day it seems
that there is more hope of the Blue
Ridge railway being built than at any
time in the past. Speaking on this
line August Kohn. writing from CO.
lumbia to the News and Courier,
says:
"In the coal-carrying road develop
ment and the eager interest that is
being felt in Charleston, T. may be
Just as we'll to remember the old
Southern Railway. Just now the
struggle Is to avoid grades and to
reduce the cost Of transportation to
the minimum by the lessening Of
grades. The Southern is in the
midst Of vast coal fields. 1t has
found its Asheville route valuable,
but not altogether satisfactory. In
this development it is well to remem-
ber that, when Col. A. b. Andrews
was young man, his first engineer
ing work was on the old Blue Ridge
Railroad, which stops at Walhalla.
This same Col Andrews is a moving
spirit and ruling factor in the great
southern Railway system, and he
knows the advantages and ms and
outs Of the Blue Ridge Road He
mas in his minds eye how the Blue
kidge Road can get through Stump
House Mountain and across to Ra-
bun Gap. 1t would not be surpris-
ing some morning to read an official
announcement that the Southern
Railway is going to complete its low
grade coal-carrying railroad by
building the connecting link-the
Blue Ridge Railroad-up with it's
Western lines"
Just what has been done, inst
what is being done. no one knows
definitely, but that there is substan-
tial activity along the old Blue Ridge
line is certain.
Last week Railroad Commissioner
sullivan, of Anderson. made the
statement that, while he knew moth
ing definite from official sources. still
he had seen and heard enough to
know that the old Blue Ridge rail
way project has taken on a rather
well"oefined shape within the past
few months, and that he looks for an
early maturing of plans by which the
completion of the road will be assur
ed, and that in the not far distant
future.
This roads completion means
much to the outlying country be-
tween this point and Knoxville, Ten
neSSec, AS we'll as TO the port of
Charleston and points between. The
building OF the road through Stump
House mountain and across the Ra-
hun Gap means the close connecting
or the grain fields of the West and
the coal fields Of Tennessee with the
dcep water outlet al Charleston-thc
connection. by the completion of q
comparatively short gap in an incon-

KEENE ENTRY WINS
BELMONT FEATURE
Sweep Defeats Classy Field in Rich
National Stallion Stakes, Romp-

Lengths

NEW YORK. May 31.-Before a
crowd of 5000 persons, the largest of
the season, ]. r. Keene's Sweep, the
favorite, easily won the National Stall
lion stakes of $13,180 gross at Belmont
park today This was Sweeps third
victory out of as many starts, and the
easy manner in which he defeated his
opponents, especially today, stamps
him one of the best of the year.
Sweep rushed into the lead at the
start, while Newmarket, the Madden
entry, and Big Stick collided as the
barrier went up, practically running
their chances. Meanwhile Sweep took
a three-length lead over his field, going
easily. At the furlong pole he drew
away to win by eight lengths. Sum-
mary:
First race, 1llies, l mile-Lady Bedford won,
Cotytto second, Sun Dance third; time 140.
Second race, 65s furlongs, main course-Mar-

Once more it seems necessary to call
the attention of the management of the
baseball grounds at Vernon to the very
obvious fact that the accommodations
for players and scribes at the South
side ball park are exceedingly limited
Not once this year has there been suf-
ficient room in the cramped press box
to permit all the active members of the
baseball scribbling fraternit-' of the An
gel city to fulfill their mission. An ad-
dtion to the throne of the "gernalists"
would be highly appreciated, and prob
ably wouldn't break the Vernon man
agement. Also the players find their
seating benches sadly cramped when
their side is at bat. We like the boys
at Vernon, and we don't mind the long
ride, but seat at the end of that ride
is almost a necessity.

Until the young sticker of the Maps

venting McAleer and his athletes from
making a clean sweep of the series.
There was heavy hitting by both
teams and the victory was always in
doubt until young Teddy smote the
ball in the fifth inning. The Browns
were leading by one run at the time
and RUDE had displayed great skill in
the box. after a rather weird opening
in the first inning.
I'm the fifth a couple of scratch hits
and a badly played bunt filled the
bases, and then Mr. Easterly made his
reputation with the Cleveland fans.
He landed squarely on one of Rube's
fast balls and it went in a line to right
center. 1t was a triple, and the three
men on the bases scored. This put
RUDE in a terrible state of mind, and
when he passed the next batter Man

Los Angeles Players Are Credited
with Several Hits in Fast English
Game on Seaside
Grounds

The cricket game between the Los
Angeles and the Santa Monica clubs
contested on the Vineyard station
yesterday was won by the Angel play
ers by a score of 10 to IS. T. d. Bam-
ford, captain of the winning team,
and A e. Barwell were in excellent
form and their batting ability was
the mainstay of the Los Angeles club,
McComb hit we'll for fourteen, while
other players of the same team failed
to set the sporting world on fire on
their batting form. A R. MitchelPs
fielding was spectacular, this player
making four difficult catches which
brought the fans to their feet with ex-
element
The Seasiders at bat failed to make
any record for themselves against the
good bowling of Barwell, who bOwled
seven to the Santa Monica's wickets
for q runs T. Rowland and Charles
LeBas were the only two to pile up
double figures, all the side being re-
tired from the game. The game was
attended by both sexes and from the
crowds that have been following the
game is very popular. The umpires
were Smith and Mould, who officiated
in first-class style. The official scorer
was e. Cooper.
Next Sunday the fourth league game
will be played between the Maryie-
bones and Zingaris on the Vineyard
field. The players are requested to be
present at 1870 o'clock for the game.

club may select, the battle to be held
either at Los Angeles or Vernon. 1t is
probable that Ad Wolgast will be Nell

him. An answer is looked for today.
McCarey hopes to secure the Jeffries
