Improving Roads With Tara tarvia
dressing is to be put on Charles street avenue
extended. A large quantity of the tar arrived
this week and the work Of placing it on the
road will begin at once. The tar is heated and
spread over the surface of the road with
brooms. Care is taken to spread it while it is
hot and not to allow it to be put on too thick.
Over the tar is spread stone dust and the road
is rolled. The dressing preserves the roadbed
and acts as protection from the tearing up of
the road by automobiles. 1t has been used
with success at Roland Park and recently
Roads Engineer Shirley put it on the avenue
in front Of the Court House. This was the
first time it was used by the county. Mr..
Shirley says it is the proper dressing for roads
and will preserve them.

FOLEY and HUNT PLAY
THRILLING TENNIS MATCH
San Franciscan Wins by
Narrow Margin Over
Alarnedan

Rain again upset the plans of the
tennis players yesterday. and the Ala
media County championship events will
have to be finished some other day The
snort. while it lasted. was excellent,
and enough progress was made to per-
nit of concluding both the doubles
and the singles tournaments on the
first fair Sunday. Only one OF the
four matches played went the full three
SETS but to witness that one was worth
trip across the bay.
The contestants in what proved to be
by long odds the best match of the
meeting were Reuben Hunt of Alameda
and Charles Foley of San Francisco
Hunt, for the first time since he won
fame in the East, played on his home
courts in his best form. Although
defeated, he was far from being dis
graced. His matches in the past have
been characterized by a lack of nerve,
but he seemed imbued with confidence
yesterday and fought every inch of the
way.
The first two sets were as close and
exciting as any played here in recent
years In each Foley was almost con-
stantly a game ahead, but at no time
did more than one game separate the
contestants. Hunt finally overcame Fo-
ley's lead in the first set when the
twenty fifth game was reached. In this
game he won on Foley's service for
the first time. and then, taking the
next on his own service, he annexed
the set by score or I4-12
The second set was a repetition of
the first. Both players won on service,
and as Foley served first he was
game in the lead throughout. He
finally broke in upon Hunts service in
the thirteenth game and took the set
by a score of SIS.
For time in the third set it seemed
that the deadlock would continue. Up
to the fourth game it was a case of
each winning on service When Hunt
lost his first game on service he seemed
to become discoura ged and Foley quick
ly ran out the set. The score was 6-2.
Foley was a bit off in his backhand
work, but did some remarkable smash
ing Hunts overhead work was ex-
cellent also, and his backcourt game
was better than usual. Both players
were at their best and Foley's victory
was we'll earned.
The match between Percy Murdock
of Alameda and Maurice Mclaughlin of
San Francisco fell short of expectations.
Mclaughlin failed to win a set. He
was hardly at his best. and the veteran
took his measure without much trouble
Many expected to see Mclaughlin win
the tournament, ana MS 1ndin erent
showing came as a surprise. Although
the match was won in straight sets, it
proved interesting from start to finish.
There was always the hope that Nc
Loughlin would strike his gait, but it
was not realized. The score was 6-4 ga.
Carl Gardner disposed of P. b. De-
lano, the Stanford crack, in straight
sets. The score was GA, ga. Foley
beat Fitz Guerin by a score of 6-S, 6-S.
The final match of the doubles was
postponed.
Only two matches were played in the
handicap singles tournament at Golden
Gate Park. Fred Adams, playing from
Is SO back of scratch, beat j. Strachan
(3-6) in a fast finish; score, As, 6-2. Ga
Guy Lytton lowe $50 defeated George
Shaw $50; score, 6-3, ST, GA.

Northern Athletes Will Be
Seen at High School
Field Meet

Not only will the twenty-five schools
which took part in the initial meet Of
the Stanford Interscholastic Associa-
ton last spring compete on March %.
but the directors have received word
from two others which have signified
their intention of trying for the tro-
phies offered Chico High School Will
send the pick of its athletes. and from
Seattle good team will come.
The strength of the newcomers can
only be guessed at. Considering past
performances it had appeared that Oak
land High School, Harvard School OF
Los Angeles, Lick or Ukiah would head
the list of point winners Now calcu-
lations must be revised.
Seatt1es young athletes are busily
putting the finishing touches on their
training. At the northern school the
attendance is more than 1000 and from
this large number clever team should
be selected. In past years the Seattle
lads have repeatedly carried away all
the honors in the Northwestern meet
ings. They have been almost irwin
chile.
Chico, while not so far from the
scene of activities, is more of a
stranger to the Interscholastic Asso-
citation than is Seattle. Chico athletes
have never taken a prominent part in
Academic Athletic League affairs and
their strength is unknown.

fair card IS down for decision at
Emeryville today. Adrian, brought UP
from Los Angeles by w. o. Joplin,
probably viii win the two-year-
race, with which the programme will
open, as he showed some class at
Ascot Park. Gage Taylor is the prob
able contender. Wilmore appears to
have gone back a bit. Bonheur is the
only other contestant that has much
of chance on form.
Petit Due will come out fresh and
good after a long letup and may be
able to win the second. Pelham is in
fair form and looks to be the con-
tender. The rest have shown little.
The third presents an open aspect,
Galvestonian, Avona, Mechant, Derdom,
Mitre and Convent Bell each apparent
ly having a chance TO get the money.
The fourth will be one of the most
interesting events on the card. An
drew Mack may be able in this race to
add another first to his already credit
able record, but The Borgian and Man
dator will make it no cinch for him
this time Nigrette is a rare mudder,
but would have more OF chance with
a good rider.
Ed Sheridan is best in the fifth.
Rotrou and Hooligan are the likeliest
contenders. Lone Wolf and Isabella
have outside chances.
Security should easily repeat in the
final race of the day. Billy Mayham
appears to be the only one capable of
giving Hildreths horse any semblance
of an argument. Whisky King would
be a contender If he were to run one
of his good races.
