County Board Members Visit All
Roads in County
Cover North, West and South Section
of County on Thursday
and Friday.

Un Thursday morning OF laSC
week the County Board Of Bay
field County left this city on
their tour of the remaining roads
on the county and state syste ms
which had not been previously
visited, winding up their tour
on Friday evening of last week.
The start was made from this
city Thursday morning, going
by way of Iron River over the
temporary state road leading
across the Barrons through the
town of Barksdale. This road
was built by the towns of Barks-
dale and Iron River. The first
part of the road leading through
the town of Barksdale is one Of
the finest in the county, being a
gravel and crushed rock road
and in excellent condition. The
west end of the road is a dirt
road and aside from being hilly,
is in excellent condition for
travel. The town of Barksdale
has crew of men at work con-
ktinuing the road and they expect
to complete it to the Iron River
town line. The road through
the town of Iron River is dirt
road but is in fairly good shape.
| The state has laid out a pro-
posed trunk line south of the
Northern Pacific tracks, the
survey of which has not as yet
been made, but there is feeling
among board members that a
route should be laid out connect
ing the Moquah district with
/ the BarksGale and Iron River
road and that this should be
designated as the trunk highway
leading west.
From Iron River the Board
visited the road to the Douglas
county line and returned ard
came to Washburn again by way
of Port Wing, Herbster, Cornu-
copia and the Barron route tc
Washburn.
The road from Iron River tc
Port Wing is a clay road and is
in good condition during dry
weather but is in bad shape dur.
ing wet spells. This road showed
a lack of patrol work for ii
spots it was cut up wibh chuck
holes. The need of gravel or
1 this road is apparent.
From Port Wing coming cas-
the road is very poor until yol
strike Herbster. Some of this
road is being rebuilt at the
present time. The road from
Herbster to Cornucopia is a dir
road and is good and bad IL
places, but on a whole in gooC
condition for travel.
On the second day the Boart

is equally as good as the lrol

NEW HAVEN FIVE D0WNED
New Britain High School Basketball
Quintet Plays Best Game of Sea-
son-Iast Game Here

The New Britain High school team
retrieved itself yesterday afternoon
in the eyes of the rooters when it de-
feated the fast team of the New Ha-
ven High school by the score of So
to II. 1t was the last home game for
the local boys and they played hard
and steady to gain a victory. 1t was
the best played game of the season.
The New Haven team defeated the
local team in the former city and
came here confident of repeating the
trick. With Adelman out of the line
up because of sickness the team
seemed lost for a, leader and team
play was altogether lacking. Botwin
ick for New Haven pleased the crowd
by the consistency with which he
Gagged foul goals With defeat staring
them in the face New Haven called
upon Adelman who dressed and went
into the fray. His playing was excel
lent and he shot the longest goal of
the season on the local floor.
Captain Taylor and Bill Burns
were having a hot contest to score
more points but Burns had the advan
tage by shooting the fouls. Little
Bunny as usual was much in evil
dence and when not slipping between
the legs of one of the New Haven men
he was shooting hard and we'll. AL
though he scored but one basket, he
played his best game Of the season
yesterday. Burns proved the heavy
artillery by playing "beaucoup' bas-
ketball and shooting five field goals
and II fouls. Captain Taylor was in
the lead by one field goal.
The local team played st. Thomas
of Hartford this afternoon in Hart
ford. Next Friday night the team
goes to Bristol to defeat the Bristol
team once more. The season will end
with the Hartford game to be played
In Hartford on March IA. Several of
the Hartford team. including Layland
and Suisman, were in attendance at
yesterdays game.
Local people will probably be sad
dened to learn of the death of Mr..
Spencer, physical director of the New
Haven High school last year. He was
in this city also last year at various
occasions and umpired the game with
New Haven High with Dick" Dillon
refereeing. Mr.. Spencer died about
month ago after being i'll with pneu
moaia for about 10 days.

YANKEE ATHLETES
TO TOUR SWEDEN
Team Will Consist Of Stars Like
Meredith, Simpson and LOOMS

New York, March 1.-Following
ment that an American team of COM
bined soccer football and baseball
players would tour Sweden next
summer, comes the announcement that
there Will be an athletic invasion of
Scandinavia as we'll. Several proni-
nent American athletes including the
great and only Ted Meredith, who al
ready has accepted the INVITATION. will
ready has accepted the invitation, will
who have been invited are Lieut.. Bob
Simpson,, now stationed at the Pre-
sidio. San Francisco, with the Forty
/, fourth infantry; Joe LOOMS of the
Chicago A. A. and Lieut.. Fred Muir
ray Of the New York A. G.
Meredith, Simpson, LOOMS, Lieut.
Fred Murray, then of the Leland
Stanford university, but now of the
New York A. c., and Andy Ward of
the Chicago A. A. cmprise the Am
er1can athletic team that toured Swe-
den in the fall of 1916. They compet-
ed at meets held in Stockholm, Chris
! tiana, Upsala, Malmo and Gothen-
burg. rolling up a total of PIP points
| against the pick of the Swedish ath-
letes, winning "a firsts, q seconds
and 20 thirds.
Meredith as yet is the only one of
the four invited athletes who has &C
cepted the invitation. Lieut.. Simpson
has given Ernest Niberg, representa-
tive of the Swedish Athletic associa-
ton here, tentative acceptance. He
will go if he is mustered out of serv-
tai ,c'
Tough, which would permit him to
make the trip. Niberg has written
LOOMS, but has not yet received a re-
ply from the versatile Chicago ath-
lete. Ernest has been unable to get in
touch with Lieut.. Murray, who only
recently returned heer from France
and Went directly to California. Fred
will return to New York carly in
April.
Niberg was authorized only to ex-
tend the invitation to the four men
IN mentioned. At least two more Yam
kee track stars will be asked to go.
Ernie Hjertberg, the official Swedish
trainer, will decide upon the other
men to whom invitations will be ex-
tended.
Capt. Meredith, who recently was
mustered out of service and entered
business in Philadelphia, largely was
induced to accept the Swedish ath-
letic invitation because he will be able
to mix business with pleasure in Swe-
den He can represent his firm in
some trade deals there while engaging
in athletics.
To a friend recently Meredith con-
fded that he hoped to get at least one
new worlds record while in Sweden.
He thinks the track in the Stockholm
Stadium one of the fastest in the
world and says an athlete greatly is
aided by the delightfulness of the eli
mate in Sweden during the summer
months His great showing in the re-
! cent Millrase 600 has given Ted a
world Of confidence. Trainer Lawson
Robertson of the University of Penn
| sylvania, who got Meredith in shape
| for the Millrose 500, yesterday said:
Ted is stronger now than he was
when as a mere boy he smashed the

William T. Tilden I'd Of the German
town Cricket club won the Middle

cham pionship Yesterday by defeating
Vincent Richards of New York in the
most remarka BILE tennis match ever
staged in Philadelphia. The score
was As, 6-3, 81, 60, rs.
The final set proved a heart break
er for young Richards, with the sets
even UP he took the lead in this at

love and it ned almost impossible
for Tilden to win out. But the tall
Germantown player came back with
a rally that simply surprised the New
Yorker, and fighting a game finish
Tilden came through victoriousIy
To say that Tilden was brilliant
sparkling, scintillating. is putting it
mildly. He seemed to be all over
the court at once, and some of his
shots were absolutely uncanny 1t
was not that Richards let down. The
young star kept his nerve and played
his usual steady game Despite the
dizzy pace he set, however, Tilden
kept his head and varied his game
just enough to put Richards always
on the defensive. Tilden volleyed
smashed chopped. sneaked little
measly shots Just across the net, cut
the far corners and spun the ball
along the side lines a fraction of an
inch in court.
THE greatest match [ ever saw,
and ono of the best | ever expect to
see,' was tho way one ringside critic
put 1t. and that about sums UP this
battle royal that will go in tennis his

Middletown, March 1.-Tonight, on
the local court, the Williamson
leyan basketball fives will meet in
their second contest of the season.
The first game, which was PLAYED on
the Williams floor, resulted in a so

now eligible to play on the varsity,
Robinson and r. w. Parsons, while
RvalIs will be shifted from forward
