 The announcement of the local ,lubs made by Colonel Jacob RupI ,ert, owner of the Tanks, and Secre- ary James J. Tierney of the Giants, 'tated that through an oversight the Reconstruction Hospital of 395 Gen. ral Park West had been overlooked when the list was being made up, but hat the two clubs would make their ,wn special donation to that institu- ion. Colonel Ruppert, who acted as . pokesman for both club owners, said hat the money awarded to local harities would be distributed in time 0 make it available for Christmas. he checks will be mailed today. Col . nel Ruppert stated that there prob- bly would be, some delay with the hecks for the Bronx charities, the Tub owners wishing to consult with esidents of the Bronx before deter inning on the most deserving organi- ations. If every charity in the city which pplied for part of the money had ; cen put on the list" said Ruppert, c the average amount for each would ( ave been 50 small that none would : ave benefited. It was our purpose ' , keep the number of organizations Q 5 small as we could without doing :. n injustice. believing fl at the most pod could be df'ished in the ay. Undoubted' any worthy so- ' cities and fund I've been omitted, nd we are sorry, that we could not Ike care of every one of them. But was not possible, with only $6o,O0O our command"

Huston, National commander of the Veterans of For gn Wars, which received s20,352.10, = lid that every penny of it would go " disabled soldiers, with little oyer cad expense connected with the use the money It is probable that the Legion will do the same, hich would mean that $61,056.30 ould go toward the relief and re- lbilitation of men wounded in the ar.
