BOOSTER ASSN. TO
BACK GOOD ROADS"
ESD IS DESIGNATED AS DAY; EVERYONE
ASKED TO Help PUT ROADS IN SHAPE:
FAIR STOCK TO BE SOLD

The monthly meeting of the Mil
bank Boosters association was held
at the st. Hubert hotel Monday
evening Of this week. ONLY q
small representation of the mem
bership was present. Several i'm.
portant steps were taken.
The impossible condition of the
roads came in for much discuss; on
and ways and means of remedying
them, @ at least 70 the extent that
farme.s can get to the city. Every
road out Of the city has several bad
holes where autos cannot get: thru
and have to be pulled by Ateam.
Inc Yellowstone trai. To Twin
Brooks has seven holes. wniie tn.
north road to that town has only
one bad place.
1t was voted that Tuesday. July
goth would be designated as
Good Roads day when the stores
OF the city would be closed at noon
and every n would volunteer as a
road maker. The committee will
get in touch with the business men
of the smaller towns, the farmers
and everyone that can give a days
work. SO that there will be some
work done on all of the main roads
in the county on this day. The
volunteers will be divided no in
crews, working under a boss
who will have a certain section of
the county to work upon. All of
the trucks. wagons and scrapers
that are available will be put to
hauling gravel to the bad places
Lunches will probably be served by
the ladies OF the city having cars
to take them out to the working
crews.
The reports from all over the
state show that road conditions
have been worse this year than they
have eve been before, due to the
heavy and continual rains which
have fallen. The OVERLOADED
creeks and rivers have washed out
the bridges and approaches as fast
as they could be repaired and many
farms and even small towns are
practically isolated Several hun
dred workers with the teams and
trucks to haul gravel and stone will
tbe able to fill up a great many of
the bad holes. Ne grading or
dragging will be attempted as such
roads are passable.
The county funds, more than
$4,000 which was collected by
auto licenses, is being rapidly de-
pleted without any of the repair
work showing up. according to re-
ports of farmers and businessmen
who have been compelled to travel
over the country roads. The patrol
system Of maintaining the roads
was advised and urged by the
Boosters association as a proper

Tie; Battle Royal for Eight In.
ningS; Bob Stevenson Plays
with Milbdnk.

The first weekday evening game
Of the season which was played by
the locals with the Monte team,
ended in the eighth inning with
disputed umpires decision which
made the score a tie. "A.
The Monte team came loaded for
bear. backed by the sporting blood
of the Minnesota city and deter
mined to win. With all bat three
of the team hired players they
cared little for the reputation of
the city and consistently "chewed
the rag and disputed every de-
cision of the umplres.
Milbank made the first tally in
the first inning when Calfee crossed
the bag. Two more we're added in
the second and the fourth was
scored in the fifth inning. The
second inning was the fatal round
for Milbank, when a hot grounder
went thru third, and a bad throw
from home to third let in three
scores for Monte.
Gill collected 10 strikeouts while
Turman on the mound for the
Monte team, famed out 6. Had
there been two disinterested um-
pires from outside of the city, the
fans would have undoubtedly seen
the best ball game of the season.
The next game will be played
Sunday With the Watertown team,
who are also coming with a desire
to trim the locals, after the win of
last Sunday over them.
Watertown was taken into camp
last Sunday by the Milbank aggre-
cation to the tune of 1875, which is
the largest score the locals have
piled up on their opponents in the
dozens games played. At least one
score was made in every inning ex-
cept the 9th, while three were
made in the final spasm.
The Watertown team made one
in the 4th, 9Th ard 7th on errors or
fucks, syhile the 2 runs ip the 9th
were earned runs. They gathered
five hits home in the fatal eighth,
but failed to put more than the two
men across the t~allying plate.
Bobbie Stevenson. who up to last
week managed the all-salaried team
representing Madison, Mimi, join
ed the Milbankites and held down
center field. 1t is highly probable
that he will be secured for the
locals and will be all added attrac.
ton for the future games. He is
an oid-timer in the game, expert
enced the "big-league" and is
credited to have more inside dope
on the national pastime than any
one man is entitled to. 1t was his
coaching on the third base line that
put five of the big scores across,
when he successfully worked the
squeeze" play. With a man on
third, he starts him for home as
the pitcher winds up. at the same
time giving the batter-up instruc-
tions to hit it somewhere. The
play worked every tiue it was tried
and has the credit for five Of the
scores.
With Monahan. Stevenson and
Herman in the out-field, not a fly in
the world will have a chance to get
away. Pete Pescaong, Lee and
Markell on the sacks, with Godfrey
guarding the intield hole, and Gill
and Calfee as battery, Milbank will
have a team that's q winner.
Watertown comes here for a re-
turn game next Sunday, and will
probably load up for the game, be-
ing doubly anxious to trim the
locals.
