THE PATHFINDERS

Cave City, KY, August 7.-(Special)-
With a run of 70 $40 miles today from
Bardstown, the Flanders electric path
finding car for. the 1912 national tour route
reached here tonight, giving the car a
total official distance of 562 miles in five
and one-half days travelling. Today's
run carried the pathfinding party over
the roads which two years ago gave the
Glidden tourists SO much trouble, but the
Flanders Travelled steadily over rocky
roads, and Pathfinder Westgard and
party were content with their lot. Much
of the terrible roads of two years ago was
found improved and made with a nice
turnpike and much more will be improved
by the time the tour comes along.
On today's journey side trip was added
to the route, the birthplace of Abraham
Lincoln being visited, the cabin of Lin
coin being contained in magnificent
marble building. The tourists will tomor-
row make Mammoth Cave, which will be
a night stop for the tour providing ac-
commodations can be secured, If not the
cave will be cut out and the tourists will
miles from here. The electric pathfinder
today displayed rare qualities as rough
road machine and a hill climber, and act
usually gave less trouble than a gasoline
machine would have done. At no time did
the rough going feaze the pathfinders,
who travelled along at good rate.

THE GRAND CIRCUIT

Pittsburg, August T.-More holly con-
tested races, snapper work of the horses
and bigger crowds characterized the third
day of the Grand Circuit meet here.

field of II horses. Wanderer. driven
by George Macy. after winning the first
heat, was distanced. Baden, the favorite.

Laslie Walks Away With Two Cups
THEY ARE CONSIDERING THE
STRENGTH OF THE BARONs

Percy whiting, baseball editor of the
Atlanta Georgian, has reached that
stage in which nothing of today is com
parable to the good old time of long
ago.
1nasmuch as Whiting is one of the
entertaining baseball scribes of the
circuit the regret is keen that he has
become prematurely blase. For in his
good right arm, II the truth be known,
there are several good games left
despite his contention to the contrary.
All of which Is preliminary to the
statement that Whiting holds that the
Barons, If they win the pennant will
be the weakest pennant winning az
greEation which ever graced the South
ern league
Ills statements to the above effect
have precipitated an agitation. The
great majority of scribes differ. They
see wonderful hitters in McGilvray and
Almeida, a splendid fielder in Marcan
brilliant base runner in Johnston and
good Fingers in the FIVE pitchers who
are drawing Woodward checks at the
present moment.
Dick Jemison In the Atlanta consti-
tuition writes as follows:
"scribes around the Southern league
circuit have been comparing former
| pennant winners In the league with the
prospective pennant winner of the
present season, the Birmingham Ba.
rons. A comparison is obviously un.
| fair to both sides. Individual eompar.

that can really be made. and these are
unfair to the present day players II
that in this day and time a player sac

games, and a player has TO sacrifle,
himself many times In accomplishing
| something that will result for TIL
good of the team. individually, tn
Birmingham Barons may not be a
good as some of the former pennan
winners. but collectively, as a 15-mai
unit, they are better than their prede
cessors. Those are about the only con
illusions that one can arrive at"
