By RICHARD F. LUssIER

John sHonus. Wagner visited Bir- mingham and Rickwood field for the first time yesterday afternoon and with some collaboration on the part of the rest of the Pittsburg "Pirates,' easily defeated the sJitneys," formerly the Barons, by the score of 10 to 2. Inef- fectIve pitching by BurIeigh Grimes wns mainly responsible for the slaughter.
 The only and original Honus Wagner was officially at the bat four times. On these official trips Mir. Wagner, who by the way, is ballplaying gentleman of ancient vintage. being in the neig hbor- hood of 42 years old, smashed out two ripping singles and scored three runs. Incidently ssHonus" whiffed, or at least was called out on strikes by "sleuth'' Hardgrove, who was causticaIly reproved on his guessing ability by the veteran.
 In the field ''Honus' had four put outs and two dazzling assists. In the last of the fifth inning Wagner showed that he was far from being all In by spearing a terrific liner off George Hale's bat with his gloved hand. .Ionus.' spoiled his perfect day by booting FL lam's tap in the ninth

WAGNER PLAYED
 SENSATIONALLY

However, the playing of the great vet eran was an inspiration to the young sters on the Baron team. On the bases Wagner was full of pep and sought by every means to disconcert the pitcher by waving his giant arms and making short spurts on the base lines. Wag- ner received some material aid from his teammates in winning the game, but a closer analysis would reveal that the veteran was pretty much the whole show.
 The Pirates started scoring in the second inning. Viox famed and then Grimes lost control and walked the next three batters. George Gibson lifted a high sacrifice fly to right field and Wagner scored his first run. Kantleh- ener struck out
 In the third the visitors scored again when Max Carey walked and easily stole second. Carey scored when Ellam al- lowed Gerbers grounder to percolate through his legs
 After having held the heavy hitting Pirates to one hit in five innings Burleigh Grimes began getting his bumps in the sixth stanza when three blows resulted in two counters. Cos tello singled to center and advanced to the keystone corner when NioX grounded out. Honus Wagner sent a sharp sim gle to center and Costello scored.

TRAILS ROAD IS A
HIGHWAY OF HISTORY

When the government 100
years ago began the construc-
ton of the Cumberland or Old
National road from tidewater to
the Mississippi river, the vehicle
for which it was designed was a
prairie schooner, and for half a
century an unending procession
OF these ships of the wilderness
passed over it's dusty turnpike,
carrying pioneer families to the
ever receding border land.
From St. Louis, the terminus
of the National road, the prairie
schooners passed over Boone's
Lick road to old Franklin. Mo.
from which point they followed
the Santa Fe trail. The first
trading trip made on this ira |
was made by William Bickne |
and party of 80 men in 1922.
At Santa Fe the older civili-
zation of the Spaniard was en-
countered, and the history of the
Grand Canyon route from Santa
Fe to the coast dates back to
1541.
1t is for the consolidation of
these ancient roads into a single
ocean-to-ocean highway that the
National Old Trails Road con-
vention was held April II, 1912.
Much has been accomplished
since that date. More than ST.
600, 600 was expended in i'm
proving this highway in 1914,
and So, 100000 more have been
appropriated for it in 1915.
1t is anticipated that fully 25,-
600 automobiles will pass over it
on the way to the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition this year, and a
special transcontinental tour to
the exposition will be made in
June under the auspices of the
National Highway association
and the Automobile Club O f
Southern California.
From the prairie schooner to
the modern automobile is a won
derful advance when you come
to think of it, to nave been ac-
complished in little more than
100 years. The grand children
of many a hardy pioneer that
passed over the National Old
Trails road. when it was a rough
ly broken trail through an unin-
habited wilderness, now live in
populous cities which have sprung
up along the route, and drive
their six cylinder touring cars or
luxurious electrics over portion
of the road every day in the
year.
The most significant monu-
ment to American thrift and en-
terprise now in existence, the one
which tells most of the genius
and character of the people that
have built, travelled and lived up
on it, is the National Old Trails
road. San Bernardino Sun.
