MINNESOTA'S GOOD ROADS
PROJECT LAUNCHED
Construction of Permanent

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch1

St Paul, Mimi, May 7.-Minne-
sofas $1OO,OOO,OOO good roads project
to permanently improve highways
connecting the principal towns and
the ten thousand lakes for which
the state is famous, was launched
this week.
Charles NJ. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, has organized main
tenance force of more than 1000 men
with a patrolman for each five mile
section and special gangs to keep the
gravel roads in best condition until
paving is laid over the entire 1000
mile system. Actual operations start
ed May l. Contracts for additional
hard surfacing will be awarded soon,
ment, which will spend approximate
ly $10,0O0,OO0 on highways this sea-
son and increasing amounts each
year thereafter.
Good Road To Every Farm Gate
The Babcock good roads plan was
adopted art the last election and put
into effect by the legislature which
has just adjourned. improvements
will be financed with the proceeds
of a two per cent tax on the list
price Of motor vehicles, in lieu of
other levies. A state advalorem tax
levy of one per cent and local levies
will be continued to provide funds
for improvement of lateral or feeder
roads.
Minnesota already has long stretch
es of paving on arterial routes and
hundreds of miles Of smooth gravel
roads. Completion of the Babcock
plan will mean good road to every
farm gate in the state and the high
way department predicts that the
most important lines will be hard
surfaced within five years.

When the Ross pair, Oriole and Hitdaa'

British Exhibitors Successful as the National Horse

which marked the climax Of the great
show. Seldom, indeed, of late years
have these classes brought into the
limelight so many high class horses
and ponies of their respective types.

Golf Final at Lakewood
Philadelphia Star Defeats Alfred S. Bourne of Garden

by and 1.
by KERR N. PETRIE.

special Despatch TO THE New York HERALD.
LAKEWOOD. n. j.. Nov. 19.-Through
Norman Ii. Maxwell of Whitemarsh
Valley Philadelphia to-day beat New
york IN the last dash for the honors in
the annual fall golf tournament of the
Lakewood Country Club. an event in
which the metropolitan linksman Is
generally rampant. In this final Max
well defeated Alfred S. Bourne, cham
pion Of the Garden City Golf Club, by
and l. Bourne in the morning played
a strong game in disposing of Frank
III. Hoyt of the Engineers. but in the
decisive contest his work was decidedly
ragged over the first nine holes. with
the result that Maxwell was enabled to
carry an advantage of three holes into
the second nine.
Bourne was paying the penalty that
usually attaches to the winning of the
qualifying honors. After the morning
play 1t did not look as If anybody would
be able to hold him, but semi-final
struggle, in which Maxwell accounted
for Perry r. Kendall of Deal by 2 and
!, administered the right sort of tonic
to the Phladelphian. A strong wind
had risen by the time the finalists drove
off, and this. it seemed. affected the
game of Bourne good deal more than
it did that of the Whitemarsh star.
Maxwell generally outdrove the Long
Islander and. added to this, the latter
was struggling to remove from his game
slice which crept in early.
Poor golf marked the first two holes,
the opening one going to Maxwell and
the next to Bourne. At the third Bourne
was away over the green on his ap-
proach, while Maxwell was short. They
halved. Bourne won the next by laying
his third close from the rough, but sliced
into the woods and lost the fifth. This
marked the first of four straight sue
cesses for Maxwell. He won the sixth
through Bourne's weak short game and
he holed 80 foot putt for at the
next after reaching the green with an
iron against the wind. On the eighth
Bourne sliced his drive and brassie and
topped his third into q bunker. A half
at the ninth left Maxwell 3 up at the
turn.
After halving the first two holes COM
ing home. Bourne started rally that
netted him the twelfth and thirteenth.
The fourteenth the Garden City man
lost with a against 6, but he came back
with par. which gave him the fifteenth.
On the sixteenth Bourne overplayed his
approach, lost the hole and allowed Max
we'll to become dormie. Everything
seemed to favor Bourne to win the sew
enteenth. but his putt hung on the lip Of
the cup after Maxwell had Clipped down
from the rough. The card:

audience took up the Belgians cause
and staged trough house" for several
minutes. The referee refused TO change
his decision and the eatcalls, kissing and
whistling finally subsidized.
Willie outgamed Horemans at the
finish. Horemans looked every inch a
winner in the eighteenth inning. He
needed only 2l points when he missed an
easy spread. Hoppe, who was trailing
with 3l2, stepped up, and in true Hoppe
style clicked off the IS. 1t was the only
inning In which championship Billiards

Hoppe and Horemans were decidedly
amateurish and mediocre. Hoppe is

After the game Hoppe said: Some

Can it be that Haremans got my

1t was Suttons first victory in five
