LAP OF TRIP OVER STATE
Keller and Party Reach Montgomery From Meridian Though
Three Day Trip to Wiregrass Section Will Be Begun To-
day Preliminary Survey for Highways Throughout
State Made By Highway Engineer on Trip
by l.. $. BETTY

MONTGOMERY, June Especial -
state Engineer W. S. Keller and his
party of highway scouts returned to
Montgomery this afternoon after q
three days trip which took them to
Meridian. Miss, and through num-
Der of the principal cities of West
Alabama. The party returned to Mont
gomery from Demopolis, where they
spent Tuesday night.
The state highway engineer has now
completed his tour of the state with
the exception of short trip into the
wire grass section, which will con-
sumo three days, and will take in the
cities of Troy, Brundidge, Newton,
Ozark, Andalusia, Greenville and other
towns in that part of the state. En-
gineer Keller will leave on this trip
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and
will return to Montgomery Saturday
afternoon.
Preliminary Survey for Highways
During the past two weeks the state
engineer has made a preliminary sur
vey for q number of state highways
leading through the principal sections
Il
public road that will lead from the
gulf to the Tennessee line by way of
and Birmingham; he has
planned a highway easA and west
north Alabama connecting the
Tri-Cities with Huntsville, and he has
collected data for a highway extend
ing east and west through the state
from Meridian, Miss, to West Point Ga.
1t is probable that the highway lead
ing east and west through the center
of the state will connect with roads
leading TO Birmingham and to other
cities in the northern section of Ala
bama. Branch roads will connect with
this highway by way of Tuscaloosa
leading west and by way of Talladega
and Sylacauga leading east out of Bir-

of the most noted race horses of the
early day racing in this part of Kan

possibility for him to be beaten. Jim

twenty-five years and was one of the

ON THE "TosooeAN."

The base bali history Of the past
week so far as the local team is con-
cerned. may be summed up In the
phrase, "a big slump" =
During our trip abroad we succeed
Cd IN drawing the short end Of the
score IN eight Of the nine games
played, and In some Of chem hits and
scores were piled up against US In a
manner which reminds us of short
grass scores of 20 years ago, when
professional ball was unknown save
In the larger cities. Most all teams
experience spell of hard luck and
disorganization at some time IN the
season, and We believe we have
seen the worst Of ours.
In the last five games on the trip
Our team had furnished good article
q base ball and in four of the games
were beaten by small margins, while
Wednesday, we succeeded in winning
from the fast Lyons team with a
good lead. Manager Wilson Is out
OF the game with a severely sprained
ankle, Pitcher Trimble has been off
the mound for several days with a
game shoulder and Outfielder Brown
drew his release, all of which, among
other things, tended to break up the
organization Of the team and helped
to account for the fact that they beat
US and made us like it."
It is quite likely that some new
talent will be noticed in the pitching
staff within few days and that sine
We are at home for a long series we
VIII brace up and win big percent
age Of the games and that the hoodot
#nacn has pursued uus so faithfully
Cor some time will transfer his atten.
tons elsewhere.
We open here today Thursday
with Lyons and have them for a dOu-
ole header Friday afternoon, July 4.
Saturday is an off day and no game
will be played, after which we have
