AUTO TOURS POPULAR
Eagle River Is Stopping Place
for Numerous Touring Par
ties -Autoing is Most Popu-
lar Mode of Travel.

The large number of auto par
ties that have stopped at Eagle
River since the summer season
began is conclusive evidence of
the popularity of motoring.
Seldom a day passes without
one or more travel-stained cars
coming into Eagle River enroute
to the summer resorts or on
some pleasure trip to the many
pretty camping spots scattered
along the lakes. Distance is no
hindrance to the motorist. A
few years ago an automobile
trip from Chicago to Eagle River
was considered impossible but
now it is of almost daily occur
renee.
Cars from surrounding towns
are seen daily about the village
carrying parties of picnickers and
sight-seers to the different re-
sorts on the chain. MANY city
people use their cars in enjoying
their vacations, motoring from
one point to another and spend
ing few days at each place in
preference to a lengthy stay at
any one.
Motoring is the popular mode
Of travel and the extent to which
it has been taken up is amazing.

say that the reforesting of Villas
county is an injustice, taking
from the market about 65 per
cent of as good land as lies out

truck garden at the headquarters

the best talks AGAINST Griffith S

has seen. And it is located near

July 4th, independence Day,
was a safe and sane holiday in
Eagle River, with plenty of noise
made BY the small boy and his
coveted bunch ofred frecrackers,
but not enough to disturb those
who sought quieter recreation
about town and elsewhere in the
countryside. Despite a stormy
night July third and threatening
skies early on the morning of the
Fourth, old Sol beamed out and
put to rout all signs of bad
weather and gave US a day to be
proud of. Everything was con
ducive to fitting celebration of
the nations birthday.
The local gun clubs shoot was
the main event of the morning.
The score follows:

Chas. Hanke took first money
and Vim. Wieland second. In
the BOYS foot race Donald Nor

second. Donald Morgan won
the sack race with Simmons sec
ond and Louis Cook third. The
biscuit eating contest was great
cor the spectators if not for the
participants. George Hayden
got away with his biscuit first,
Arthur Roderick second and Art
Simmons third. Charles and Art
Simmons won the three-legged
race and Fred Walsh and Arthur
Roderick finished second. In the
potato race Hugo Merical took

by diving from the wagon
bridge.
In the evening the July 4th
dance furnished amusement for a
woodworking crowd. The
dancing floor wascrowded to It's
capacity, there being many pres
ent from towns up and down the
line.
July 4th was picnic day for
MANY. Numerous parties took
launch trips on the lakes and
spent the day visiting the resorts
or encamped on some cool point
where the heat of the day was
made pleasant by the cooling
lake breezes.
Everything considered Eagle
Rivers observance of the Fourth
was altogether fitting and prop
er if public criticism can be taken
as a criterion.

game. After seven innings the

Watersmeet 2. Eagle River Z.
Kelly brought down his bunch
of warriors from Watersmeet to
do battle with the locals in a re-
turn game July 4th. For the oc-
casion he imported Rhineland-
er battery but at that they failed
to turn the trick and after nine
innings Eagle River scampered
off the field with the game tuck
ed away up on the shelf with {
to 2 security lock on it. But it
was a good game. Eagle River
scored twice in the first inning
and then the game became a
pitchers battle until the sixth.
In that inning Watersmeet got
their two runs. The home team
scored three times and then twice
in the next two innings. Frank
ell was on the mound tor the
locals. The defeat was the sec
ond one handed the bunch from
up the line this season and in
each game Watersmeet scored
put two. Fridays game had all

bumped up against a team Sun
day that had their goat for sew
en- innings, and one that gave
them the game only through a
series of costly errors after the
bingling had gone on for eleven
innings. Tigerton was beaten
for at least eight innings. The
score board showed Eagle River
6 and Tigerton 0 at the end of
the seventh. Then came the
fuke. In the eighth Tigerton
scored three and did the same in
the ninth and away went the III
old ball game that Eagle River
had cinched earlier in the contest.
In the tenth neither side scored
but in the eleventh the Tigers
ran in two and the best Eagle
River could make was a single
tally That gave Tigerton the
game and they are rejoicing over
the huke that saved their bacon
in the eighth. There's no use de-
nving it. Both teams played ball
Sunday. Larry Kuehne, WITH his
southpaw creations pitched a
strong game for the home team
despite the fact that he was up
against a bunch of stickers of
wide reputation. Benz Bitten
Benz they called him) pitched
sterling ball for the Tigers. He
was a moose on the mound and
he pulled out of Sundays game
with more than a few strikeouts
to his credit. Then Wulk, the
Watersmeet man who played for
Tigerton, must be given some
credit for the victory. He came
to the rescue with two home
runs and each time there were
men on bases. SO we could go
on with individual comment but
suffice it to say that the locals
found something in their class
Sunday. and that Tigerton, the
fast team from down the line
hasn't anything on Eagle River.
