$a6,3s6, ooo, 900 WAR COST TO b.
S. so FAR .- d
This Includes $7,S7s,ooo.ooo Loaned
to Our Allies.

Washington, January :3o.-Al
though nearly three months Sshav,
passed since the signing OF the arm
isticc, the American Government
war expenses show no signs .of de,
creasing materially, except in loans
to allies.
In January the treasury paid oul
about $I,ooo,0 100000 for ordinary war
expenses, exclusive of allies loans
or only $4,000, 900 less than in No:
te,1tber and considerably more than
in any month heretofore.
Officials explained that this was
not to be taken as indication that
production of war materials is con-
tinuing at the tremendous rate of
several months ago. Manufacturers
now are presenting their bills and re-
ceiving payment for materials de-
livered long ago.
The liquidation of war contracts
to be given added impetus after. pas
sage of pending legislation, provid-
ing for valuation of informal orders,
is expected to be a new source OF
high OUTLAWS for the next month or
two.
Payment to the allies fell to about
100000, 600 in January. When these
loans were first instituted the gov
eminent contemplated turning over
about $5ooooo,ooo credits to the al
lies every month, but actual pay
ments ordinarily ran around $780,
600 900 monthly.
The treasury cited figures on the
present government outlay to EN-
phasize the necessity for. another big
war loan of five or six billion dollars
in April. Current expenses are now
paid largely out of borrowings from
banks and other purchasers OF the
governments short-term certificates
of indebtedness.
The Governments aggregate ex-
pense in the twenty-five months OF
war have been SEQ, $4,000 900 it was
calculated today. This includes ST.
SIS 100000 loaned to allies: Latest
unofficial reports place at $4o,64o,-
100000 the cost of more than four
years of war to Great Britain, in
Guiding $5,535. ooo.o 900 loaned to her
allies. From the same British source
also comes the estimate that the war
has cost Germany, $3.50. 100000, OF
which $2,25o,ooo,ooo was loaned to
allies.

GUS RUHLIN.

It has been many years since Gus Ruhlin was a familiar figure in the pugilistic world, and nearly seven years have passed since he was laid away for his final rest The older fight fans will be glad to revive mem ories of the day when Gus was in hi7 glory, and the heavyweight division was full of good men. Born 20 years later, the Akron Giant might easily have become a champion, but he vas at his best when Corbett, Fitzsim- mons, Jeffries, Sharky, Choynslri, Kidl Mccoy, Goddard and other big scrap | pers were making the heavyweight camp nightly lively one.
 Ruhlin was born on Jan. s, 1872, in Canton, Ohio but it was In Aaron , that he made his pugilistic debut. He
 became a professional fighter rsther late in life, and he was 24 when he fought his first important bout. This was at BaIGoerton, O., and his oppo- nent was Con Tobin a heavyweight from New York. Tobin wasn't any marvel, but he had quite a reputa: ion in New York, and the Akron sans didn't have much confidence In the ability of the local novice. Ruhlin, however. had Kid Mccoy in his cor ner, and after a little hard sledHing at first, the tide of battle turned his way, and Tobin quit in the fifth round. This victory boomed Ruh.in's stock, and he followed it by twice de- feating Steve O'Donnell, the Aus:ra-
 ian heavyweight, in Akron. In 1897 Gus went to San Francisco and fought
 Jim Jeffries 20 rounds to a draw, and
 then defeated Tut Ryan in New Or
 leans, Woolf Bendoff in Baltimore,
 and other scrappers. Ruhlin then
 fought his old tutor, Kid Mccoy in i Syracuse, and lost the decision in 20
 rounds, and a little later was knocked
 out by Tom Sharkey at Coney Island.
 RIhlin afterwards whipped Ed Dunkhorst, Australian Joe Goddard, ! and other good men, and in 1900 re- venge& himself on Sharzey by nut ting him to sleep in the 18th round at Coney Island. Gus then tackled r3ob
 Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries, and
 was defeated in both bouts, but in 1902 he knocked out Peter Maher Gus's last fight was at Colma in 1905 when he knocked out Jim McCormick in the 18th round

It was eleven years ago today that Jimmy Gardiner defeated Joe Wal colt in 12 rounds at Boston. It was this defeat that convinced the Bar bados" Demon" former welterweight champion of the world, that his fighting days were over. Some years before that the Demon" attended a "cullud pahty," and, while showing off a piece of heavy artillery he was carrying around with him, shot himself through the hand. He was never the same after that. Joe was 36 when he was whipped b. Jimmy Gardiner. The Demon" always did have bad luck with the Gardiners. He was twice defeated Dy George Gardner the Irish middleweight, and 1t is matter of interest that both George Gardner and Jimmy Gardiner were born in County Clare, in the Emerald Isle.

JAMES H. 0R0URkE DIES OF PNEUMOkP MORAN SIGNS UP WITH GIANTS
LEAGUE SCHED(I!L ! LEEi E
 ARE COMPLETED.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 5-The Ma s;onal League will formally open it's season on April 23 in the cities of Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Chicago, but will precede the formal opening with games, morning and afternoon on Patriots Day, April 19, 7t Boston. This announcement was made by President John Heydler, of the National League, following the completion of the schedules by the joint American and National Leagues committees yesterday.
 President Heydler added that the season would close on Sept. 30 and that the schedule was very similar to former schedules, inasmuch ' as it consisted of what is known as three trips from West to East or vice versa.
 The schedule is very satisfactory" !" continued President Heydler. There were numerous problems to be solv- cd, but all of the rough matter was ironed out smoothly before we fin ished."
 Ban Johnson Silent.
 President Johnson. of the Ameri-
 
 nounce anything concerning the opening date or the cities in which the opening games in the American League would take place, Baseball experts, however, figured that if the National League opened in Boston and Philadelphia in the East, the American League would open in New York and Washington, provided the schedule committee followed its usua procedure.
 With the National League opening in Cincinnati and Chicago in the West | it was assured, the baseball men de- clared that the American League would open in St. Louis. Whether the Americans would open in Cleve- l land or Detroit, however, was a de- bata5le question even among the ] baseball experts.
 l It was also ascertained that while the schedules were completed last night, yet they were not satisfactory and this caused the committees tc meet again, when numerous change: were made and worked upon unti both schedules proved satisfactory The only comment that Presiden Johnson would make was: "Th' American League schedule is highl, satisfactory, but it is not our custom ito announce any of the details what ever"

Joe Jackson is going to play for the White Sox next season-and thereby hangs a tale! Charley Com iskey. who bitterly assailed Joe when the noted slugger jumped to the shipyards last summer, has relented and offered the olive branch. Con- iskey was induced to reconsider his determination to bar Jackson from the White Sox by peace commls- sion" of Chicago fans who pleaded the case of Joe. They pointed out that he wasn't so bad after all. and asked the Chicago boss 10 let by zones be bygon7s. Besides Joe had made very good record as a work CT in the yards. And so, he will be restored to his old standing in base ball. Of course, it wasn't entirely altruism which swayed Mir. Comiskey. He is well aware of the fact that other club presidents were not a bit prejudiced against Jackson and prob- ably would oppose any move to black list him, for the very good and suff1- cient reason that they would like to have him for their own clubs.

KID HERMAN WAS A GREAT
 LOVER OF FLOWERS

On this date in 1903 Kid Herman and Clarence Forbes fought six round draw at Chicago Both Her man and Forbes were great scrappcrs in their day, and there was a ti;ne when the Kid, who was a Chicago product, looked like coming light weight champion. He stubbed his toe on Joe Cans. however, and the black man remained too great an ub- stacle for him to overcome. Herman was the Kids front name, his legal monaker being Herman Landfield. After retiring from the ring Herman went to Seattle, Wash, where he set up in the florist business. The Kid was always fond of posies, and dur ing his fighting days always wore a small flower garden in his button hole.
