THE PATHFINDERS

Cave City, Ky, August S.-tSpecial.) The pathfinders in the Flanders cleo tric drove to the Mammoth Cave to- day over an extremely rough stretch of 20 miles and the pathfinders have the distinction of having taken the first electric into this famous region, Pathfinder Westgard found that the hotel at the cave could care for the 400 or 500 people on the Glidden tour and practically concluded arrange ments for the nights stop, 1t being considered out of the question to put the tourists through the 194 miles to Nashville from Louisville in one day. This was done in 1910 and many cars were wrecked in the mad drive over these Kentucky and Tennessee roads. Today's 20-mile drive out and back to Cave City was probably the toughest bit of travelling ever accomplished by an electric car and previous to the start was pronounced impossible.
 Tomorrow at daylight the pathfinders leave for Nashville with sure prospects of making the century in miles for the days run The natives generally seem anxious to prepare this route from the lakes to the gulf for big touring par ties and the big tour itself and to make the route trunk line from De- troit to New Orleans.

Southeastern Intact

Gadsden, August s.-(Special.)-- Members of the Gadsden Baseball as- sociation as well as officials of the Southeastern league in other cities of the circuit are somewhat vexed at the reports which have been sent forth that the Southeastern has passed out of history. This Is not true, as the leagues affairs are in the same shape as If it had continued the season un- til August IT, as had been intended. The lea gue has complied with all the conditions of the national commission. Each of the four clubs retains it's fran chise and it's players. and each will be in the league next year. At this time plans already are being made to have a Class D league with salary limit of 5000 strictly adhered to.
