STEVENS POINT VS.. Y. M. C. A.

The game Saturday night between
the Y. M. G.. A. five and the Stevens
Point Normals was an easy victory for
the Y team. The point team was very
weak on team play and the locals were
in better shape than they have been all
season in any of there games and they
played better together than in any of
there other games of the season and it
was easy to roll up big score on their
opponents, the point men being dazzled
by the fast work of the locals at times
and seeming to be lost were unable to
stop the local five and the score would
have been more one sided than it was if
the 7 fellows hadn't let up on their
scoring the latter part of the game.
The Point men are all fast players but
they didn't play together and seemed
to be in their own way half the time
during the progress of the game and
spoiled many good chances to score.
Heime at forward and Roberts at
center played the best games for the
visitors. Roberts suffered a painful
accident near the close of the game
and he had to retire. The teams lined
up as follows:
Stevens Point--Collins and Heime,
forwards; Roberts, center; Halverson
and King bell, guards.
Wausau-Sexmith and Ringle, for
wards; Schneider, center; Lampert and
Wilson, guards. Referee, Norman;
Scorer, Evans.
Score 43 to IS in favor of the Y.

whisk broom or whitewash brush, after
which it came of in large strips. The
time the paste was allowed to stay on

ASK FOR INJUNCTION.

At session of circuit court, held
Saturday Atty. Fred Genrich, appear
ing for Attys Goggins & Brazeau of
Grand Rapids, in behalf of the Connor
Lbr. Co.. of Marshtield, petitioned the
court for an injunction restraining
Herman Vetter, treasurer of the county
of Marathon, from receiving any money
from the treasurer of the town of Bergen
on the assessment of the company's
lands for the current year. The court
decided that arguments for and against
the petition shall be heard at session
of court to be held tomorrow. We TN
derstand that compromise has been
effected between the attorneys whereby
they will agree to abide by the re-assess-
ment which is to be made of the town,
as ordered by Judge Reid in a recent
decision, in case brought by the above
named company against the town. In
the re- assessment an assessment will be
made for the three years 1907-s-9, the
cut of timber during that time, natural
increase of property values, ETC., to be
taken into consideration in making the
assessment.
Since the last assessment considerable
trouble has arisen in that town. Fist
the Connor Lbr. Co. commenced a suit,
followed by two other property owners.
The contention is that nonresident
property owners have been disseminate
ed against. The state tax commission
each year issues book for each county,
showing the sales in each town, the
amount received and the assessed vslu-
alton of each description. The book
for 1908 shows great discrepancies in
that town.

Winona has signed as manager, Joe
Killian of Sterling, Ill, for four years

WI. league.
Chas. Ferguson, manager OF the
Lumberjacks for the past two seasons.
was in the city last week for short
visit. In a conference with officials of
the local club be promised to pass four
or five good players this way, which he
has no room for on the Appleton team.
When Ferguson says they're good they
must be good, for he is splendid judge
of material.
Officials of the local club have four
or five men on the string with whom
they are dickering TO take the manage
ment of the team. The one who looks
the most promising will be selected.
As far as picking up good team is
concerned, Pres. Bryan says the outlook
is rosy. The financial part of the game
looks good. Everyone approached so
far has signed his name for subscrip-
ton and one we'll known business man
has promised to raise at least half the
sum required.
The schedule of games is being ar
ranged by Chas. Cushman of Milwau-
kee, the expert who makes up the
schedules for the American association,
the WI. and other leagues. 1t will be
ready for submission to the club owners
about April /. The schedule will con-
sist of lis games and the season will
open about May a.
When tho sale of our players was
made to Appleton the two sets of uni
forms and other paraphernalia was re-
tained. As the uniforms cost about
$500, this will be quite saving to start
with. La Crosse, Eau Claire and Du-
luth will be likewise provided.
President Farrell of the national
commission, has notified President Ell
lott of the NV. league that the newly
formed organization has been admitted
to the protection of the national body
as class ID organization. Al effort
was made to get it into the q class. The
WI. is in class ID.
