INTERESTING NOTES
FOR BASEBALL FANS

Knoxville at Johnson City, June IA.
The way it started off, we took off our
hat, lit a stogie and lay back to take it
easy. 1t was thusly: Shaw got first on
an error, stole second, went to third on
Alexis infield rap: both men safe.
Then Moran scored the twain with a
clean hit to right. Knoxville scored
one in the fourth on hits by Donahue
and Silvers. We scored one more in
the fourth when Alex hit the ball on
the third base line over towards the
mountains, and it is going yet. Alex
went around. And then hell broke
loose. o that fifth inning. Pitcher
Wilson started it by getting free pass
to first: Flournoy hit for twice bags,
Shaw muffed long fly after hard
run, and then Mr.. Lee got on his aero
plane. Gee whiz, golly, gosh darn!
Five hits, an error, tielder's choice
and two bases on balls, and added TO-
gether equals eight runs. Ouch FL
even men faced Mr.. Lee in that inning,
and Flournoy got two hits in the same
inning. Nothing doing after that ex-
cept a couple of double plays; one on
each side, in the seventh. Nicely did.
Two first-class bone-head plays were
executed: one in the third by Flournoy,
when he was gazing at the scenery off
second, and Mr.. Lee just tossed the
pill to Weldon, who stood on the bag
and waited for Flournoy to come back
and be put out. Theaother was like
unto the first, when Alexander stood
right in the same spot, and let Bullock
hand the sphere to Hayes, who begged
Alexis pardon, took off his hat, bowed
low, and said in loud voice Stung!"
But Alex got three hits out of four
times UP, and got on base the other
time too. Flournoy got three hits,
and Donahue and Silvers two each for
the visitors. Good game except that
fifth inning. Lee struck out and
gave bases on balls. Wilson struck
out and gave bases. Time, 1870.

A Northern Outlet.

The Clinchfield Route" traverses
one of the richest coal fields in the
world, and it was necessary for the
road to get northern outlet. The
ne srest road to the north is the q. and

extention will give it direct con-
nection with the G. and q. at Elkhorn

extension, which is costing from $40,-
600 to $780, 600 per mile, as it is through
mountainous section. The character
of the country that the extension goes
through is shown by the fact that en-
gineers of the Clinchfield Route y
planned at first to build 4 1-2-mile
tunnel through one mountain. Since
then it has been decide TO go around
the mountain rather than undertake
this piece of work, as it is the desire of
the Clinchfield management to get the
extention completed in the shortest
possible time. Boring theIbig tnnnel

IMPROVING SERVICE
on THE SOUTHERN

Atlanta, Ga, June 19.-The Southern
Railway Co. is now making extensive
Improvements on the Knoxville divi.
sion between Knoxville and Chatta.
nooga and between Asheville and Nor
ristown, involving the construction OF
ten passing tracks.
Work on the additional trackage has
already commenced and will be COM
pleted at an early date, giving this inn
portant line greatly increased facilities
for handling both freight and passen-
ger trains.
Eight of these passing tracks, which
are known as interlocked lap sidings,
are being constructed on the line be-
tween Knoxville and Chattanooga and
two between Asheville and Morristown.
The points at which they are being
laid are as follows: Ebenezer, Loudon,
Segan, Hutsell, Sanford, Roe Junction,
Philadelphia, Sweetwater, Tasso, Tenn,
Paint Rock, N. q.
With double track existing between
Morristown and Knoxville and from
Chattanooga out to Oolte wah, these

CEMENT PLANT
IN OPERATION,

The south's newest cement mill was
placed in operation at Kingsport last
week by the Clinchfield Portland Ce-

supervision of and will be operated by
men having years of experience in the
Lehigh cement district, the result be-
ing that it has not only been construct

The Lay of the Land.

Last Friday President Stephens, ol
the q. and o., accompanied by Edwin
Hawley, New York railroad magnate,
who is member of the directorate OF
that road; President Milton III. Smith,
of the Louisville and Nashville; Gen.
eral Manager E. W.. Grice, of the g.

dy division to get familiar with the
lay of the land, President Smith went
along in an advisory capacity, as his
road has close relations with the g.
and O. in the vicinity of Cincinnati
and other points. The party then
came to Cincinnati, but did not re-
main here for more than 10-minutes, AS
the special train was switched to the
Louisville and Nashville and sent
south TO Winchester, KY, for run
over the Lexington and Eastern, which
was acquired by the l.. and N. about a
year ago. This latter road is being ex-
tended so miles toward the Eastern
Kentucky coal fields, bringing it with
in few miles of the territory traversed
by the c., O. and y. and the q. and o..
Yesterday the party, which was join
ed here Saturday by Vice President
Frank NJ. Whitaker, left over the
Norfolk and Western from Bristol,
Tenn, the party going south Sunday
night from Winchester to Knoxville,
Tenn, and transferring to the South
ern railway for the journey to Bristol.
The object of the trip is to observe
how coal-carrying roads handle their
black diamond traffic. The g., Z. and
o. was built by Thomas Fortune Ry-
an, and has millions of dollars back
ing. The c., e. and o. interests have
always called attention to the fact that
they are not willing to sell the road, as
they have had ample backing to keep
it going until traffic agreement was
made with big carrier. The traffic
deal with the G. and 0. silences the
numerous reports that the road was
about to be sold, although the @. and
o., l.. and N, Norfolk and Western,

GIVES THE
CLINCHFlELD
AN OUTLET TO THE NORTH
Agreement Betweea the Two
Roads Became Known IN
Cincinnati Last Week

That the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Carolina, Clinchtield and Ohio roads
have made traffic agreement became
public in Cincinnati last night, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer of June 18th,
although officials of the former road
have made every effort to suppress the
pact was made last Wednesday. The
traffic agreement means that the larg
est volume of coal tonnage ever known
will be sent to the Great Lakes through
Cincinnati, as the e. and o. will bring
it here after it is received from the
"Clinchffeld Route at Elihorn City,
KY, the southern terminus of the Big
Sandy division of the q. and 0. The
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton will
have the haul of the black diamons to
Toledo, where transfer will be made
over the $4,000, 600 dock to vessels that
ply in the lake service between the
Maumee City and Duluth, Mimi, and
other points at the head of Lake Su-
perior.
President George w. Stevens, of the
9. and o., has been planning to get
his road into the van for the Panama
canal business. The opening of the big
waterway will give the 9. and 0. a
chance TO get rid of great portion of
its immense coal volume. The
Clinchtield Route " is now building
big dock at Charleston, s. G. With
the completion of the Improvements of
the g. and o. of Indiana this will give
the parent road direct line, shorter
than any other route to the Southeast
ern Atlantic seaboard. AS result of
the traffic agreement the G. aud O.will
be able to get big shipments from the
northwest to the south quicker than
any other road, which, of course, will
be big advantage.

BRISTOL MAY HAVE CON-
NECTION WITH c., C. & o

The acquisition recently of the Caro-.
lima, Clinchfield & Ohio railroad by
the Chesapeake & Ohio is almost GER
tain to result in the building of the
Kingsport & Bristol railroad, thereby
giving Bristol connection with the
Chesapeake q Ohio, which will have
. truck line through to the middle and
northwestern states.
1t is practically certain that the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad has taken
over the Clinchfield and this means
that the two roads will be joined to-
gether by the construction of the gap
terminus of the e., G. & o., at
Dante, Russell county, Va, and the
terminus of the G. & o. at Elkhorn
City, Ky. The O., q. & o. would be-
come part of the @. & o., and there
would be direct trunk line from
Spartanburg, s. g., by way of John
son City and Kingsport, to the middle
and northwest. This line would PEN
citrate the heart of the Virginia coal
fields and would be funnel for com
merce i'm large section of the Mississ-
ippi Valley.
From the time the o., 9. g. o. was
constructed its objective point has
been Elkhorn City KY, and steps to-
ward the construction of the line to
this city have been taken and for this
purpose the Elkhorn City Southern
railroad was organized by the Carolina,
CIinchfield & Ohio.
The route for the Bristol and Kings
port railroad was surveyed several
years ago and this would probably be
available in connection with the build
ing of the road. Several thousand dol.
lars was spent in the survey and in
making arrangements for building the
line but the movement fell through.
However, the c., q. & o. now as a
connection with Bristol by way of
Kingsport would not be one-half SO
valuable as it would be if the c., g. 30.
were a trunk line to the middle and
northwestern states.i
1t is believed that the G. q 0. will at
very early date merge the &C. & 0.
into the former system and that the
gap between Dante and Elkhorn City
will be completed as early as possible.
