On tho eastern shores OF Lake
Washington. lying southwest OF
Hunts Point, is a shallow inlet or
water known an Fairweather bay. I'M
mediatcly south OF this bay Ia a large
tract OF land belonging 10 the Claude
Ramsay family. which land extends
20 tho Medina community.
This land n bounded on tho east
by paved road. on the south by a
paved road. on tho west for "A major
portion OF the distance by paved
road. on the north by a gravoied road
and In intcrucotod by another gravel
road All these roads were paved or
graveicd during tho Ramsay term AZ
county commissioners.
The original plan for the building
OF the main highway. which now
runs east Of the property. called for
building II In direct line between
kirkland and Bellevue. but this plan
was discarded and tho reason given
that the cost Of grading would mako
the route by the Ramsay property
cheaper.
ON the old route. there was only
ono grade. II waa an easy bin TO cut
down. and It's cost would have been
loss than the laying Of a LONG stretch
OF tile deemed necessary 10 grade tho
low lands lying adjacent TO the Ram
say property before the road could be
placed In tn present location
Incidentally. II may be mentioned
that this tile runs thru the Ramsay
property for hundreds OF yards and
Is OF great value In removing the
water from thu Ramsay iowiandn
that were In much need OF drainage.

While the commissioners may be

 Tennis Title Play
IRepubilcan A. p. Leased Wire

BOSTON. Aug. 27. = National champions at lawn tennis in five classes were decided on the courts of the Longwood Cricket club today.
 Outstanding in importance and in the actual play vase the match in which William T. Tilden II, worlds singles titleholder. and Vincent Richards. little more than a boy. re- gained the national doubles crown. Largely through the brilliancy of Richards they administered the first defeat of the season to the eastern doubles champions, R. Norris Will liams II and w. M. Washburn, re- garded as Americas probable de-
 lenders in doubles in the Davis cup match in Japan. The straight set scores, 13-11, 12-10. 6-1. constituted the greatest number of games in three sets in the history of the event.
 Tilden paired with a boy was able to do more than Tilden paired with the national woman's champion, Mrs. Noila Mallory. Both were off their game in the national mixed doubles crampion final, in which they were defeated by the western pair, Miss Mary K. Browne and William John- ston. After the two champions had

 To Monday Card

Matchmaker Williams is going to stage another tryout night to build up some local fight material. The preliminary card will be staged in the Arizona Athletic club arena to- morrow evening with the first bout starting at S;30 o'clock.
 Young Nix and Young Mike will complete their bout that ended in the second round last Monday night. The and Nix hopes to prove, to the fans that he really was hurt when the sponge went fl. Nix and Mike staged the greatest two-round battle ever held in Phoenix. Nix gave and took just as much as Young Mike deliv- cred and he was in good shape ex- cept for a bum mitten when the third frame ended.
 The Lefty Lewis and Battling Scotty will settle an old grudge In four rounds with the winner taking the entire purse. Lefty Lewis has, not been active in Phoenix fight cir cles for some time and he is growing envious Of the popularity gained by Sco.ty. At one time Lewis was a home town champ for sure and he still carries much of his old time class.
 Battling Sam and Kid Rivers will return with a continuance of their four-round argument of last Mon day evening" Sam says he was cheated in the lewiston and vows he can beat Rivers, in fact. stop him inside of four rounds.
 Matchmaker Williams has also planned little surprise for the boys if present arrangements are car ried out. Last night he had not closed the deal and requested that announce ment be withheld until tomorrow morning as the program might be changed
 The price of admission has been cut to 50 cents and s1 for reserved seats. With every dollar ticket the purchaser is entitled to bring his lady friend-kind of Ladies Night in the local arena. This added inducemeni of ladies free should gixe the gentlel sex a start in the ways of the fan.
