RAPID PROGRESS
ON DOUBLE TRACK
Stretch Between Cullman
and Holmes Gap Will Be
Ready for Use First

That the Louisville and Nashville
would be operating over its new double
track from Cullman to Holmes Gap with
in the next few weeks was a. statement
given out in Birmingham yesterday. The
contractors, 1t was said. are finishing
up the work rapidly and some of them
may be out of the territory before the
last of this month. The point where
operations will start between Culman
and Holmes Gap Is not of any great
length but the company is anxious to
get that point open as soon as possi-
BILE.
The company has been laying rails for
the past few days and although the con-
slant rains have BEEN very injurious a
great deal of progress has been made.
The company will entirely complete the
work on this division earlier than ex-
pected.
Between Birmingham and Decatur some
mountainsides have been cut away for
the new double track and the contrac-
tors have excavated many acres In the
new work.
T. e. Brooks, superintendent of this
division. is working with the contractors
and he is seemingly well pleased with
what has been accomplished.

Traffic on the South Ensley line was
stopped for a time by the high water
at Tuxedo junction, and the same situations
existed ON the West End line as a result
of the overflow at Elyton. Other lines also
suffered great inconvenience and delayed
schedules.

is the most valuable first baseman in
the game today. He is a far more
valuable player than Hal Chase and
has the box scores to prove it. For
one thing, McInnis is harder hitter
than the Highlander star There is
not much difference in the fielding.
Chase perhaps will make more bril-
liant plays in season than his
younger rival, but for steady, sure
and conscientious work, game I'm and
game out, there is nobody who has
anything on the New England boy.
