Flying Machines at
Appalachian Exposition
Pleasure and Amusement Features
Are Being Given Special
Attention.

Dirigible ballooning is one form Of
sport that has been practiced but
little in the south, where the ordinary
balloon ascension, with its attendant
parachute leap, has lost all of its nov
city, and now attracts but little at
tention. 1t will, however, have its
innings at the Appalachian Exposi-
ton at Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. IL to
Oct. IL, next, where 1t will form one
Of the features Of the amusement pro-
gram.
Flights by large gas-infiated bal.
looms controlled by steering appara-
tus will be made from the exposition
grounds over the city at height not
too great to be plainly visible to the
naked eye. The time OF the flights
will be determined by atmospheric
conditions, for the trips will be made
when these are most favorable, II at
night large search lights will be car
ried In the balloons. Flights by avi.
ators in aeroplanes will be given, also
for the first time in Tennessee with
one exception.
On Chilhowee lake In the center
Of the exposition grounds special
aquatic attractions will be seen.
These will include exhibitions by mo-
tor boats, both submarine and sur
face, in which the government models
will be exhibited. For those who en-
Joy thrills of excitement there will
be the latest devices for shooting
the chutes," making the dip" and
riding the ocean wave"
A midway" will be there, on
either side of which will be found
shows, some instructive, others mirth-
producing, but all of the greatest
interest and OF the highest type.
There will be feet of the ships oil
the desert, groaning camels, that will
provide their riders with all of the
sensations of the storm-tossed mar
liner. barring seasickness, as they
rise from and return to their knees
during the process OF embarking and
disembarklng the passengers. Var
led sorts ard conditions of entertain
mert will lie furnished for the var.

SPLIT LOG DRAGS SUPPLIED BY N. & W.
Will Furnish Farmers With Practical Proof
Of Value Of Home Made Road Maker,

Many have noticed in travelling over
the country that the sections that are
accomplishing the most in the develop
ment Of their country roads are the sec
tions wherein the farmers are taking
the road improvement matters into
their own hands and not waiting for the
county road supervisor to do it for
them. AS a matter of fact, the county
road supervisor with his inadequate
forces, and with one or two road ma
chimes can at best do little more than
scrape the surface of the roads in his
county. In most instances the desire is
to accomplish something, but these
country road forces are inadequate and
the result is that the work done by
them, very frequently, is little better
than no work at all and very often
cases have been noted where they have
injured rather than improved a large
part Of the road worked by them.
The split log drag, first invested by
Mr.. D. Ward King, a farmer, in Holt
county, Missouri, has been the means
of accomplishing more effective results
in the building of good dirt roads than
any other implement that was intro
duced, and Furthermore, it can be made
right on the farm by any one who can
handle saw and a hammer and can be
easily worked by the farmer himself on
the roads surrounding his own farm.
President l. E. johnson, of the Nor
folk and Western Railway, has been
greatly interested in the results accom-
plished by the use of these split log
drags throughout Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Three hundred of these drags
are being operated in Lycoming county,
Pennsylvania, alone, and Lancaster
county has even more of them. Over
fifteen thousand of these drags are
working today on the county roads of
Illinois, ami so far "a we have been able
to ascertain less than twenty-five of
them are in Virginia. MIR. johnson.
we'll realizing the necess ity of better
road co; lions in GU entire Southern
trr. tory, has authorized the building
OF six Of these split log drags at Roam
oke and turned them over to Mr.. f. A.
LaBaume, Agricultural and Industrial
Agent, for distribution in communities
where they will be given a thorough
trial. Upon written request of six re-
sponsible farmers residing in one COM
munity tributary to village or town
on the line of the Norfolk and Western
Railway, one OF these drags will be for
warded for month or six weeks use in
that community.

WESTERN LEAGUE
PFTSBURG SCOUTS
HAVE BUSY TIME

PITTSBURG, Sept 11.-Owners of
the Pittsburg baseball club are building
all the time for the future. With the
idea in view of strengthening the club
for the campaign of 1911 President
Barney Dreyfuss has purchased no
less than eleven minor league perform
ers. He has been officially notified that
his purchases for trial next season
have been approved by the National
commission Here is the list:
Pitcher Harry Gardner, right handler,
secured from the Vancouver (B. c.
club of the Northwestern league, the
same organization which gave Hyatt
and Campbell to the Pirates.
Inflelder Rivington Bisland, from
the Wheeling club of the Central
league, to which he was originally re-
leased by Pittsburg.
Pitcher Red Faber, from the Du-
buque, Iowa, club of the Three-I
league, who recently pitched a hitless
game against Davenport.
Pitcher Mercer right handler, from
the Peoria, Ill, team of the Three-I
league He is already with the Pirates.
First Baseman John F. Kading, from
the Eau Claire club of the Minnesota
Wisconsin league.
First Baseman Fred Hunter, from
the Kansas City club of the American
association.
Pitcher Brown, right handler, from
the New Britain club of the Connecti-
cut State league.
Outfielder George Karey, whose real
name is Max Caranius, from the
South Bend club of the Central league.
Shortstop Mccarthy, obtained from
the South Bend club of the Central
league.
The above deals represent the sea-
sons work of number of able scouts,
including Billy Murray, the former
Philadelphia manager; George Van
Haltren the former big league star;
Howard Earle and others. Neither
President Dreyfuss nor Manager
Clarke claims to believe that q large
percentage of the above list will make
the Pittsburg team next year, but COM
petition between the two major leagues
is so fierce and first class players are
so scarce that 1t is necessary to scour
the country constantly for promising
material. All of the new pitchers are
right handlers

DEL MONTE TENNIS
COMPLETESUCCESS
Hazel HotchkisS and GoIda Myer
Only Ones to Retain Last
Years Title
Especial to The Herald)

DEL MONTE, Sept. 1.-THE twenty.
third annual tournament of the Pacific
States Lawn Tennis association was
brought to it's conclusion here today.
In the mems Del Monte doubles, final
round, Gerald Young and e. p. Finni-
gan beat ]. A. Code and Homer Hotch-
kiss in two straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.
In the mems handicap doubles, e.
P. Finnigan and B. Batkin beat W.
Bacon and Gerald Young, owing IS,
SO, in two hard fought sets, So, 7-5.
OF the five championships that have
been decided during the tournament,
only one remains in the hands of its
holder. George j. james, 1909 champion
in mems singles, resigned his title to
Melville II. Long; Miss Florence SUIT
ton, holder of the title in women's
singles. was beaten by her sister, Miss
May. w. Johnston annexed the cham
pionship in junior singles, won last
year by Charles Rogers. In the mixed
doubles, in which the title was won
last year by Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and
DIR. Sumner Hardy, the winners this
year were Miss May Sutton and Gerald
Young, who defeated Miss Hotchkiss
and Melville Long in the final match.
Miss Hotchkiss and Miss Golda Myer
retain their title in womens doubles
by defeating Miss May Sutton and MISS
The tournament attracted a large
number of entries and has been high
ly successful. The addition of handi-
cap and special events for players who
had never held a Pacific states cham
pionship proved satisfactory, giving a
chance to enthusiasts whose game is
not up to championship standard. The
first two days of the tournament were
rather empty of events and the last
two were so crowded that several
players. such as Gerald Young, Melville
Long, Miss May Sutton and Miss
Hotchkiss were almost constantly on
the courts, being called on to play
matches in rapid succession. Melville
Long captured the championship tro-
ply in mems singles as his permanent
property, having been champion In
1905 and 1908 George j. James also
had two victories recorded on the tro-
ply, his name being engraved on IL
as champion in 1905 and 1907.
The quality of play among the men
was high class, while that of Miss May
Sutton and National Champion Hazel
Hotchkiss could not be excelled. Now
that Hotel Del Monte has four tennis
courts with good bitumenized surfaces,
It is possible to pull off a large num-
ber of contests and the popularity OF
tennis is certain to grow. 1t is possible
that the schedule for next years an
nual tournament will contain several
events for the "dubs"

he slammed the pill over the Chutes'

several seasons ago and is now in a

ANGELS AND SEALS CLOSE
CHUTES SESSIONS TODAY

with the game at Chutes park this
afternoon the Angels and Seals will
wind up the series which they began
last Thursday. As it now stands the
visitors are one game to the good, haV-
ing won four out of the seven played, so
a victory for the locals today will split
the bunch. giving each team four.
Beginning tomorrow the Oaks and
Angels will hook up. San Francisco lines
I'D on its home diamond against Vernon,
and up at Sacramento the leading
Beavers figure on having an easy time
with the Senators. BY their spurt yester-
day the Oaks came close to hooking the
top liners, and should they win the
first game here and Portland drop the
opener in Sacramento the teams will be
tied for first place, with $50 per cent
each.
As an added feature to this after
moons game Hen Berry has offered
2O-bucks trophy to the winner of a
match race arranged between two Seals
and two Angels. Wit and Madden will
represent the visitors, while Howard
and Daley have been selected to do the
honbrs for the locals over n hundred
yard course. Gus Mast. who has been
the hitting sensation of local brush
leagues, has been promised a tryOut,
and will appear in an Angel uniform to
see how he can act in fast company.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-12

Bode placed himself far and above
his fellows with a worlds record to
his credit.
While the Coast league season has
two full months to run, Bodie had but
a few days in which to make his twen-
ty-sixth long hit Buck Freeman, the
Washington player who set the mark,
did his executing in a period lasting
but five and half months, so had he
not come through within that limit the
Seal would have been forced to share
his honors with Freeman.
Bodie will not remain long as a bug
bear to local slabsters In the recent
drafting by the major leagues he was
finally awarded to the Chicago White
Sox, and at the beginning of next sea-
son will be seen in a Comiskey uni
form. If the Coast puzzlers have any
thing to do with it, Ping will keep up
his slugging streak in the big brush,
for they would much prefer reading
about the way he does 1t than to have
an ocular demonstration just when 1t
looks like another game chalked up on
the winning sheet.
