 Harold Savage, Bridgeport Gen. tral three lctterman, may be the cause of Bridgeport Central for feiting all of its last years victories, If that means anything, for his birth certificate, or that which passed for his, really was that of a younger brother who died at the age of two.

CLOSE FIGHT

Boston, Jan 12.-(UP)-Mickey Bishop of Stoughton outpointed Billy Hood of England over the 10- round route in the main bout or the Argonne A. A. show at Boston Arena last night which also fea- tured the appearance of Max Schmeling, worlds heavyweight champion, in an exhibition against three opponents.
 The new price of $1 for all seats in the arena, aided by the appear ance of Schmeling, drew Q crowd estimated at 10000.
 Though receiving the unanimous verdict of the officials, Bishop had a bare edge over the English vet eran. Bishop had piled up lead in the earlier rounds through his harder and cleaner hitting, but Hood was rapidly cutting this odwn with his better work in close in the latter rounds.
 In the early rounds Bishop stag gered his opponent several times but could not floor him. Bishop weighed 157 1-2 and Hood 159.

OF the amount, 1882, 900, 900 is

be available for new road and

balance will go for reconstruc

on highway bonds and similar
purposes.
It is to be hoped that a fair
proportion of the money will be
spent in rural and farming local
tiles. There is, of course, no
no end to the need for more and
better main highways-but this
need, in most states. is not near.

roads. The farmer, as a class.

There are still q number OF
months each year when to drive

ways and secondary roads.
