TO HAVE $427, ,O86
FOR ROADS.
Federal Appropriation Must Be
Matched BY Like Sum From

Federal aid for Road Construction
will be continued as result of the
authorization of additional appro-
priations for this work amounting
to $3.50, 100000 carried by the POST
office appropriation bill signed by
the President.
Fifty million dollars is authorized
for the fiscal year beginning July \,
and $65, 100000 and $75,000,000,
respectively, are authorized for each
of the two succeeding fiscal years.
In addition, $6,50O,000 is author
lied for forest roads for each of the
two fiscal years beginning July 1.
1928, and July 1, 1924.
Maryland is given $427,086; Della
ware, $243,75O; Virginia, $971,21Y.
and West Virginia, $534,906.
These funds must be matched by
the States and will be administered
subject to the general provisions al
ready in force.
The new legislation reduces the
maximum participation on the part
of the government from $4,000 to
$16,250 per mile for roads con-
structed with the appropriation for
the next fiscal year and $4,000 per
mile thereafter. Bridges over 20
feet in span may be considered as
separate projects to which this linn
itation does, not apply.
Funds to match Federal aid must
be placed under the direct control OF
the State Highway Department. The
type of service constructed must be
adequate for the traffic anticipated,
with reasonable grades, curves and
other features. States must obli-
gate themselves to maintain all Fed
eral-aided roads constructed, and in
case this is not done any Federal
funds available for new projects may
be withheld until they are put into
satisfactory condition. I'd

Association Club
Against Draft

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Club owners Of
the American association today de-
clined to enter into any draft agree.
ment with the major leagues. The
proposal for the restoration of the
draft, carrying with it a price OF
$500 for each player drafted was
unanimously voted down. The
major leagues, if they desire to OBJ
tain star players from the American
association. will have to purchase
them outright.
The proposal to amend the agree
ment between the major and minor
leagues relating to the draft came
from Judge Lands, commissioner OF
baseball: President Heydler of the
National league and Ban Johnson
of the American league constituting
the baseball advisory council. Judge
Lands held that restoration of the
draft was necessary so that baseball
players should advance in their pro-
fession.
The American association mag
mates, however, declined to accept the
proposal. They declared that they
could obtain a better price for any
stars developed by selling them
rather than being forced to accept
the $500 draft price.
The American association is the
second of the three class "A leagues
to reject the proposal, the Pacific
Coast league having voted it down
several days ago.

Greb Has Most Troublesome
Weight for One Who Fights
Pittsburgh Boxer Is Too
Big and Too Little.

Harry Greb, the great Pittsburgh
boxer. and his manager. George
Engei. are still doing a lot OF Won
dering as TO welher or not Johnny
Wilson will ever consent 10 going
through with his agreement 10 meet
Harry in a battle for the middle
weigh, championship. While Harry
insists that he can make the middle
weight limit without any difficulty
the fight fans throughout the ooun-
try are skepiieal about Harry max.
ing the required poundage for more
than one battle.
They argue tina, Greb would have
some trouble bringing himself down
for a match with Wilson. and even
ii he did and grabbed the crown
from the lef,-handed champ. he could
not stay in that division very long
and be strong. They think he would
soon have 10 relinquish his title and
hop back again among the heavier
bows.
Greb is constructed along the
lines OF the famous Joe Choynski.
so lit as NelkUNSls aoHSsihSus Nv
Pi,tsburgher is probably too heavy
for the middle-dis,anee gang and not
quite big enough for the men in the
heavyweight class. or even. the light
heavyweight gang.
In nearly all his fights Greb has
been compelled TO spot his opponents
all the way from 10 20 20 pounds.
Battling with the heavics has been
his specially. As matter OF fact
the dopesters will tell you that Greb
is not very good when confronted
with an opponent of his own size.
The big fellows have been his
special dish for several years. yet
it is believed that he rarely weighs
more than los pounds in any of his
battles. OF course, the question is
can Harry Greb train down 10 100
pounds for Wilson and be strong
enough TO beat the latter for the
title1
Can He Make Weight?
When Choynski was in there bat
Ting he was too small for the big
boys and too big for the small fcl-
lows. The Greb situation appears
to be parallel case. Old Joe
would walk in there with the heavi-
est men in the field just as Greb
